What does my roflcopter goes soi soi mean?:

Do you remember trying to tell your parents about jokes or humor of your youth? Can you imagine what it will be like in a generation? Unless I manage to move to some remote granola-tastic commune and raise kids in an anarcho-wilderness with TVs, they’re going to get the hell marketed out of them. I’m not even going to try to keep up with them. Fuck ‘em. Joanna Newsom and Ted Leo will be my Carole King and Bruce Springsteen, and Prefuse 73 will be my ELO. I’ll be uncool dad. I won’t buy them the latest toys, I won’t get them shirts that say things, and when they finally decide that I don’t care enough, maybe they’ll share things with me that have more than transient meaning to them. But the outlook for such heavy things looks unbearably light. /unexpected grumpy old man rant

I struck up a conversation with this girl on the bus last night due to her excellent hat. She gave me her card, and it led to this website. I am impressed/intimidated like no one’s business.

Way to invalidate the rest of your list, ‘tastemakers’!

well, i’m officially old. i don’t know what any of these things are except the bad one.

Just find Gold Panda’s “Quitter’s Raga”. I think this list has to be british or something. Or just bad. I still vaguely work in music, and I haven’t heard of more than four of these artists.

“

North Korea’s official news agency, television station and major newspapers, which are monitored in South Korea and Japan, by late Wednesday still hadn’t announced the exchange.

Instead, authorities transmitted information through a closed-circuit system that feeds into speakers in homes and on streets, but that can’t be monitored outside North Korea.

”As” and “Pusherman” are soul now? I mean, not that they aren’t, but it’s not the first tag I’d throw on them. Also, I see a few that I assume got a big boost from Tarantino (110th Street, Love You Save) and Numero Group (Syl Johnson, Marian (sic) Black) or other samples (California Soul, Marion Black again). And Everything Is Everything! The bold modern choice. Nevertheless, shut up me, all these songs rule, it doesn’t matter.

This site is proof of how humanity is just spiraling down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down.

“Sigh…I’m seriously considering breaking up with my boyfriend of 4 years because I want to be loved the way Edward loves Bella. Does that even exist anymore?”

We’re spiraling down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down and down.

THIS DEPRESSES ME.

We’re the last generation (late-twenty-somethings) to have a childhood (almost entirely) free of the internet, or at least the social media instant gratification version we see now. Much stupider things have been said by teenagers everywhere. Go to a thrift store in a small town, where they’ll have yearbooks in there (or of course, just search the internet) - the hairstyles and terrible clothes and looks of utter teenage angst say nearly as many embarassing things as these do - they just weren’t chronicled so perfectly, in so easily a sub-categorized manner, as this.

Commercial Toilets - Portable

Commercial Toilets - Portable:

You have to love an industry that has a sense of humor about itself.

Top ten favorite commerical toilet companies:

LepreCAN - Part Irish? Part Obama campaign? all awesome.
Oui Oui - Totally certain they named themselves after Michel Gondy’s old band.
Tanks Alot - least applicable picture ever
Drop Zone - fancy options, guys!
Honey Bucket - I want this to be popular slang, now.
A Royal Flush - ho ho ho ho ho.
Potty Queen (from Pottstown, PA!) - you know these dudes punch someone out at the bar every night after the third joke. Then they drink hard.
Wizards of Ooze - Okay my line just got crossed. Jesus. Spots 1-3 taken.
