Somebody told me I was one in a million. With a world population of over 6 billion that means there are over 6000 people just like me! So I kicked his ass! I want to be unique!
There comes a time in every man's life when he must hunt down and kill all 5999 of his doppelgangers.
The opening drums are little off, but yup, that's it.
Well, while writing my post and searching for the gt and lt signs on my keyboard, I ended up hearing that song about a dozen times. Now, having never played the game, I have it stuck in my head. May you all burn in Hell.
Is this the same group of people who have the laughable reality show on the Discovery Channel? If it is, I would like to point out that these people fund themselves by looking only slightly more embarassing than a furry larping clan on satellite television.
As opposed to British backpackers who spend a year or two living in cramped, illegal backpackers hostels in Sydney, being paid next to nothing and permanently wallpapering Bondi with vomit and urine.
Then they outstay their visas by a few years and head home leaving a string of illegitimate children in their wake.
The phenomonon of "backpackers" "gap year yobbos" is not only found in London (although Upton Park and Craven Cottage are beginning to be seen as "home ground" stadiums for Australia).
What you mean to say is that they usually spend a year or two living a dozen per one-bedroom apt, being paid next to nothing, and permanently rendering the East End of London vomit-smelling.
Not really a big deal, I don't think. I imagine it's some sort of interference with the electrons in the tube rather than some dangerous disruption of something dramatic with power or somesuch.
On that note, does anyone know how a humble 3410 can make a clockradio bark really loudly? Is the interfernce inducted into the radio and then amplified or is the signal effecting the speaker coil itself?
If the latter, I think Nokia might have left my cellphone set to 11.
One battery company claims to make a "safe" battery that uses phosphates, not cobalt oxides in its lithium ion. They even have a video demonstration that we can slashdot.
G4from128k is a true hero in my eyes. He has just linked to a thing of pure beauty. Think of this demonstration like--like if an angel made a movie. Yes, if an angel made a movie it would look something like this.
low level radiation, etc... My old Nokia phone used to make my monitor flicker really bad if a call was coming in and would actually turn on my cordless electric shaver if it was near by. (Yes, I got rid of it)
All three cell phones I've owned do that. Hell, they'd even make my clock-radio bark loudly. How is that abnormal or frightening?
i can do better. when rolling down hill, i can push in the clutch, put the car into neutral, and shut off the engine. the car's guages don't seem to work too well when it's shut off, but by my rough calculations (since my car is accelerating down hill without using any gasoline), i am getting better than infinity miles per gallon. i tried to check if i had more gas in my tank when i reached the bottom of the hill than at the top, but unfortunately, this was not the case.
Well, considering your power brakes shut off with your engine, I'm glad you still have enough function in your hands to type a post on Slashdot.
Ahhhh!!!!!111oneone This is the exact same annoying thing as people thinking asians say "lice" instead of "rice"!
Now that I've calmed myself, I must inform as many as possible that it is the exact opposite. The Russian language does NOT have a true W sound, and they would NOT pronounce it "wadka". "Vodka" is exactly how it is truly pronounced.
I have no problem with people making fun of different countries' customs, but please, at least do it correctly.
On a similar note, can anyone tell me why many/most/nearly all Germans replace v-sounds with w-sounds when they speak English, despite having every reason to do the exact opposite?
Well maybe the laws are different in FL, but in NY State there's a number you have to call before digging to ensure that there's no underground wires/pipes/etc.
Different laws??? For God's sake, this is a state with its own Fark.com icon.
I recommend a pencil and paper. One caveat is to always use a single sheet of paper instead of a pad though so spies cant find out what you wrote by rubbing graphite over the pad. Also tell the recipient to eat the page after they have read it.
I agree with pretty much everything you wrote. I was very disappointed when I went there. Thinking they can all be actresses or models, the hot ones move to more exciting places:-/
I forgot to add one thing. The mullet is all the rage--FOR WOMEN!
You live in Sweden and have been too busy playing with gadgets to notice hot blondes everywhere
I am an American student, fluent enough in Swedish, working on a degree in Sweden. I can tell you as an insider that they are neither hot nor blonde--anymore. Those women went extinct in the Eighties. Right now, they are my professors and bosses--not my peers. A list of grievences:
Your typical Swedish girl is now fairly pudgy. Yeah, American girls are usually fatter (Swedes will usually counter with that statement when you start ranting about their women), but if one is comparing ones country's women to ours, then there must be a problem.
They use rediculous amounts of make-up. If they do eventually get fatter than American women, I will be studying in a country of Mimi Bobecks. And it's not just the quantity--it's how they use it. Even if they used a 1/20 as much, they would still look like Cirque de Soulei. Make Sweden beautiful: Shoot a make-up counter clerk.
Clothes. I am no fashion mongol, but I am morally appauled at how bad these people dress. They look like they have resurrected all the bad things of the 80's and put them on a 70's disco dance floor. 100% dead-serious: At our student union building, we have an annual Bad Taste Party, where one dresses in bad taste, naturally. I could not tell--I honesty sat through a half-hour of our pre-party without noticing that was the theme.
Attitude. Even before you speak, whatever the context, they are impatiently waiting for you to finish. They know that they are a well-known brand-name commodity (all name, no commodity) and act like it, too.
Culture. Sweden is a progressive society--it's been that way for a very long time. As such, feminists have had a lot of success here. Economic equality, paternal leave laws, men pushing carriges nearly as often as women, and gaudy machismo is at an alltime low. Now the women are terrified to find that they got what they wished for and that they might have to have sex with men who not only possess an egalitarian outlook but *GASP* possibly make less money than them. While the money thing is a loss, they have fixed the other half of their problems by all learning Italian and going south fishing for boorish senoritos. Leaving the men of Sweden with an awful lot of Southeast Asian and Eastern European wives.
In conclusion, if you are coming to Sweden to have good-looking lovers, only do so if you are a gay man--you'll save yourself a lot of disappointment.
The trick was keeping it just above 80C but below 90C, that way you get most of the alcaloid, but none of the easily-recognized-by-autorithies smell.
Well, it was funnier when I was baked: I remember one time in college we were using a dorm tube (a one liter bottle filled with drier sheets) to exhale the smoke, so as not to let the smell exit our room. Just outside our door I heard a neighbor exclaim, "It smells like I'm about to get eaten by an 8-foot tall Snuggles."

I'm a little young to be in on the joke. Is this that infamous song?

I think my phrenologist qualifies as a brain scientist!
T. F. Gumby - Are you the brain specialist?
Specialist - No, no, I am not the brain specialist. No, no, I am not...Yes. Yes I am.
T. F. Gumby - My brain hurts!
Specialist - Well let's take a look at it, Mr Gumby. Gumby specialist starts to pull up Gumby's sweater.
T. F. Gumby - No, no, no, my brain in my head. (specialist thumps him on the head)
Specialist - It will have to come out.
