Oh my god! Glenn killed Kenny!
(Sorry, that's what "you bastard" makes me think of)
Eric Wood once added me on Facebook JUST to call me an asshole. I'm not making this up.
When that thing with the akron/family went down I posted a bunch of stuff about how Eric Wood should grow a pair somewhere on facebook, because ripping off imagery and album covers as a 'tribute' is a normal thing in punk and he shouldn't bitch about it just cuz now it's a mainstream indie band doing it. The next morning I woke up with a notification that Eric Wood wants to add me on Facebook, with a message saying 'HI ASSHOLE!!!' and him 'liking' all my posts about it. Purty weird guy. I really wanted that 'skull' tattoo when I was 16 too and I never got it. That's like dodging the hiroshima bomb.

Simple: The guys from Akron/Family are big fans of Crass and Man Is The Bastard, so they decided to used a combination of the two logos in tribute as part of a promotional thing. Of course, they were complete idiots about it and failed to either ask or recompense either band. Crass didn't hear about it or didn't care; Eric Wood from Man Is The Bastard, on the other hand, flipped out. Hard. I think he also sued them.

For some reason I was thinking earlier about the time when my third grade class showed up for school but our teacher wasn't there.
We ended up sitting around for like half an hour before the grown-ups realized what was going on, and the principal had to sit in and watch us until it could be sorted out.
(They ended up just splitting us up and sticking us in with other classrooms for the rest of the day, eventually.)

this story reminded me of the time I got bored of classes and took a nap in the closet area.(3rd grade)
Or the time I brought dinosaur toys and imagined that Dinosaurs were aboard the Titanic as it sunk. YNTKT

There's a joke in there SOMEWHERE but I have no idea what it is

This happened in my Latin class like at least 1-3 times a month.

Wheee window-shopping laptops online
Included software: Adobe Reader and more!
wooow you've got to be kidding me
Remember when PC manufacturers would at least throw you a bone and include MS Word?
^^ That sucks. Why was your Latin teacher MIA like that? I would think that someone teaching Latin of all things is probably dedicated enough. (Unless it wasn't an issue of dedication.)
^ But think about the people in Nairobi! They won't find any Adobe on their laptops!

Yeah, I assume the reason they didn't elaborate on "and more" is because Adobe Reader is at least something most people will reluctantly keep around since PDF files are common.
At least Microsoft Works was finally put out to pasture a couple years ago. THAT crap long overstayed its welcome.

It was a lame office suite that PC manufacturers liked to preload on their machines because its OEM licensing was dirt cheap.
IIRC it actually had a decent feature set, so the PC manufacturer could be like "look at all this stuff you can do with your computer right out of the box!", but by default it saved in its own proprietary formats that even Microsoft Office couldn't open, and its Microsoft Office export filters tended to mangle formatting (if not data).
Honestly, I get the feeling the shitty file formats were a deliberate attempt by Microsoft to cripple Works's usefulness so people would shell out for Office instead when their teachers told them they couldn't read their assignment files. I have no idea whether or not the bait-and-switch worked, though.

Aren't you glad computers nowadays have such advanced technology?

@Naney: Oh, I see. How did you spend your teacherless days then? Did he assign classwork or something?
