  • And the synthesizers in the eighties were nothing like moogs

    Irrelevant I guess. I was casually reliving a memory from when I was a child, but there’s always got to be a pedant to further solidify my general withdrawal from society because I’m clearly not satisfactorily intelligent enough for it.



  • I believe I was in sixth grade when that album came out.

    First of all, it used a whole lot of synthesizers, which were pretty new technology at the time, and I felt like I was living in the future when I heard it.

    As to the album cover, it somehow didn’t register with my that it was a baby smoking.

    Rather, it made me think of teenagers smoking in the high school bathroom.

    Motley Crue’s Smokin in the Boys Room came out a year later, so I don’t think that influenced my mental image.

    I mean to tell you that I’m that regular. Once in the morning and I’m done until tomorrow.

    And yes, I wash my body every single day. Are you telling me the paragon of asshole cleanliness that is Europeans doesn’t?

    God Europeans are so eager so shit on all of us. Is it the orange monkey we elected? Is that what did it?







  • I had an Apple ][+ in 1982 and an Apple ][c in 1984.

    Cost less is a relative term depending on application.

    They were cheaper than full business model IBM computers (who hadn’t much entered into the home computer market) but significantly more expensive than other home offerings such as commodore or (shudder) radio shack.



  • Not in computers. I’m an accountant. I don’t have enough money to throw the double middle fingers. Can somebody please, for the love of all that’s holy, show me the way out or, you know, come sneak onto my property when I’m not looking and delete me?

    Edit: JUST now, I got told that I’m unprofessional because I refuse to give my personal cell phone number to all three thousand of our clients. I said that my private phone funded by my personal money is not a business asset and they can give me a company phone if they want me texting clients. This was met with a huff, turning of a back on me, and storming off.


  • There were a bunch of geese around my grandparents’ house when I was a kid. God those things would torment me. They had free range of the property and I tended to completely avoid the area they hung out because they were hyper aggressive and would chase after me every time I got anywhere near them. I was six years old, so it felt like they were as tall as me and they were definitely faster.

    It wasn’t so bad once I got a little older, a little taller, and relied more on my bicycle than my feet for movement.

    Nonetheless, those things gave me childhood trauma to the extent that I still can’t stand geese some forty five years later.
