  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I disliked Ayn Rand from the moment I heard of her.
  • well then i guess not everybody
  • Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
    I've never read any of Ayn Rand's works, and I imagine I wouldn't have the patience to do so.

    I was blissfully ignorant of her and her ideas up until recently

    she's just more proof that any political ideal that cannot be summed up in a few words (such as democracy and the will of the people) and needs a novel-length manifesto to define it is just a major disaster waiting to happen

  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    As far as I'm concerned, the best thing Rand did was inspire a couple of Rush songs

    I had never heard of Ayn Rand until I came to TV Tropes

    this surprises me
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I kind of halfway knew about her, from people on Usenet talking about her and South Park (!) bashing Atlas Shrugged.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Things I had never heard of before coming to TV Tropes:

    1. shipping
    2. Touhou
    3. the "what is a man" meme

    plus other stuff

    Eh, I think we all had our Rand phase.

    i bloody didnt
  • and yeah fuck i had been on the internet since forever and had no fucking clue what touhou was before tvt llet me know it existed

  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    You know, I wonder why "Rosenbaum" means "Rand"

    Paul Rand's real name was Peretz Rosenbaum...

    Me either
  • Not a hybrid rabbit-skink spirit
    I knew about Touhou but not Rand
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    There were too many things I had never heard of before TVT:

    Girl Genius, Ayn Rand, Discworld, Psychonauts

    At the time I found TVT Homestuck had yet to be released yet it might count if it did (MS Paint Adventures itself definitely does)
  • THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS
    I knew about shipping way back in the 1990s, because I'd heard about Mulder/Scully shippers (I'm pretty sure X-Files fandom is where the term may have started), and later on I found my way to fandom_wank where shipping wars were a common topic of mockery discussion. As for Touhou, I kind of knew about that in a sideways manner from people posting IOSYS Flashes to /f/ back in 2005 or so.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Had never heard of MS Paint Adventures either.

    Also a lot of anime
  • I run shit in this house
    Like I was now or never
    With no effort
    I bet you I could change my name to Klaus
    Or something mildly Flemish
    Pick up a Saudi chemist
    From an Orange County dentist
    Ouch, I'm whistling, trading and eating
    Now poetry readings at AA meetings
    I text you pictures of my keister
    I'm serving some dead bodies from a Middle-Eastern skirmish
    Damn, I'm oh so scooty
    A bro gropes boobies
    Have sex with Snow White
    At the gym, on pedal bikes
    Replenishing electrolytes
    Your honor
    I dip my junk in the fondue
    Told boring stories, show my blonde pubes
    I'm from the church of Satan's archdiocese
    So I fart fire pits and heart giant tits

    I'm a prick
    All of our inane dialogue
    And my day's minutia gets micro-blogged
    Ew, does it smell like Fido the dog?
    In gray Pumas
    I look like Sideshow Bob
    Urinate in what the cod-fish swims in
    Who was to think, I'm God's gift to women
    Flirted with about 30 Asian chicks with herniated disks
    Eating turkey bacon bits

    a performer's outrageous presentation is inversely proportional to how long they'll last before they become has-beens


    I give this Minaj thing a year at most

  • a performer's outrageous presentation is inversely proportional to how long they'll last before they become has-beens

    depends on the genre

    I dunno about that, the only exceptions to the rule I can think of here is KISS
  • second wave black metal bands


    and KISS are pretty darn has been


    hell, i don't think they ever even were
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    They always seemed to be pretty popular, at least they have some mainstream popularity anyway
  • they are instantly recognizable sure


    but i've never actually ran into anybody that listens to them

    over the summer of 2008 they drew a total audience of over 400,000 spectators

    the one NiN concert I went to (when they were shit hot) couldn't have been over 1500 people in that auditorium

    sounds pretty relevant still, to me at least

    That reminds me. Tower Records still exists, in Japan. I need to upload that pic


    Japan is like the Undying Lands for American pop culture. It may die here but it will always have a home in Japan

  • I really should listen to autechre more.
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I always thought KISS were ridiculous, but they certainly have their fans.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.

    people listen to the Grateful Dead, too


    I don't get it either

    There was Grateful Dead stuff in T.G.I. Friday's

    The decor there seems to revolve around that which is generically cool/acceptable (there was also Rolling Stones and, no offense, Pink Floyd stuff there)

    I'm genuinely having trouble staying awake today/tonight despite having spent most of the past 14 hours sleeping. :(

    What's wrong with me? I just feel drained...
  • I've learned to tolerate drama...except on the boat
    Narcolepsy?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    I own one Grateful Dead album and listen to it about once a year.

    What are your thoughts on it?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Aimless self-indulgent tripe; however, once in a while I get a hankering for aimless self-indulgent tripe.

    Ostensibly to rekindle appreciation for your other tastes in music

    haw haw.

    Is 4 days after Christmas too late to watch the Christmas specials you recorded but didn't get around to watching?
  • Touch the cow. Do it now.
    Yes. The pigs will come get you.
  • Doctor Who reference in Pokemon B2W2? Headcanon accepted.
    For me it is. I was annoyed by the Christmas music they had piped into the plane on the flight home today
