  1. It was funny in the waning years of the lithium boards, it would say there were like 30 members, and like 5000 guests. WHO THE FUCK ARE ALL OF THESE PEOPLE???
  2. All of a sudden there's only 69 guests. They saw you post this, then they're like, "Oh fuck, they're on to us! Run!"
  3. I'm too much of a pussy for fight club.
  4. @SwimModSponges
  5. Hey what's up, I still haven't gone to bed yet.
  6. Oh, on a side note about the Boondocks... One year me and my parents were vacationing with my aunt, uncle, and young cousins in the mountains. I was in my 20s, so I could watch what I want, but I still want to be mindful about not poisoning my little cousins' minds with inappropriate TV. In my aunt and uncle's vacation house, they chose a very odd design that I don't think they really thought through: There were no doors to my two cousins' rooms. There were doorWAYS, but no doors to close. I always thought that was a huge mistake, as they may have both been ok with that then while they're little, but you think they'll want to come vacation where they have zero privacy in their teens? Anyway, during this trip my sleeping place was the living room couch. I had long since made it a nightly ritual to fall asleep to AS on TV. But then I ran into a problem: The Boondocks was on. What if my little cousins (they're both adopted, one is definitely white, the other is a slightly darker shade, I have no idea what race he is), with their door-less bedrooms right next to the TV, hear all the n-bombs and think they can go and just drop n-bombs all over the place. Like I just can't live with that guilt, I had to switch the channel when the Boondocks was on, lol.
  7. The only adult cartoon that I wasn't allowed to watch THAT young was Beavis and Butthead, but of course I watched it. By the time South Park rolled around, I think I was like 13 or 14. Still arguably too young, but not as bad as 8.
  8. Yikes. Yeah kids shouldn't be watching the Boondocks.
  9. I will give you that some shows on AS, especially in the early days, were good for not insulting your intelligence. And like you mentioned, Ghost in the Shell was one of the best examples. But over the years I've grown tired of adult oriented animation because there's just too much focus on sex, toilet humor, and gore. When you're a kid you love seeing this stuff. As an adult in my mid 30s, I'm jaded to it and it no longer entertains me very much. I think AS is turning a positive corner with shows like Rick and Morty, Mike Tyson Mysteries, and Ballmastrz 9009 though. Of course all those tropes are still there, but there's a lot more to those shows' appeal besides those three things.
  10. Yeah. I swear "adult" animation is much more concerned with appealing to kids than it is to appealing to adults over 30. I actually had a big rant in the rants folder a while ago that got very, very little response that included this observation with much more detail. But in that rant I couldn't say I had been in contact with someone who fell in love with Adult Swim at the age of 6.
  11. Maybe that's not so harsh compared to how cracky usually talks to Misaka???
  12. If I read that right, you became an Adult Swim fan at the age of 6, right?
  13. You know what, I started a reply to this comment, but I think I'll just heed buddy's advice and just walk away on this one.
  14. ..........You'll be spending the same amount on phones in the same amount of time regardless if you have a watch or not... Watches are not a replacement for phones. Watches are a replacement for one function of a phone (or rather, one function of a phone is a replacement for a watch, as has generally been the rule). I mean, I guess you could always get a smart watch... But even I see no reason for that, and I'm assuming you feel the same.
  15. It'll be interesting to see how they make room for it. If they push the shit out of it (like they most certainly will), will it usurp most of TTG's airtime? Will it cut into TTG's airtime and share evenly? Or will they share evenly by just not cutting TTG time at all and having TCR for the same amount, having roughly an hour a day for other programming?
  16. Personally I think it's more convenient for my time piece (AKA my phone) to be rechargeable instead of having to go buy a new battery and have it installed (or if I knew how, install it myself) when it dies.
  17. I know this isn't the case, but this reads like you were thinking, "Hm, maybe he's right, maybe I DO have T-Rex arms! Better measure to make sure... Ah! I knew it! I don't have T-Rex arms! How foolish he will look now!"
  18. Were you (very) recently tailored, or were you just that bored that you measured the length of your arms?
  19. I guess I should start using this strategy of going to google and just using stream of conscious long descriptions.
  20. I keep reading this caption in a "Confucius say..." broken English inflection.
  21. I hate Babymetal, not necessarily because it's gimmicky. But I really don't like the saccharine j-pop vocals, and then the metal part of the equation is just completely generic and uninteresting. In my opinion LadyBaby was infinitely better, in part, like you pointed out, because it was more metal with the growls. But there is more to LadyBaby being infinitely better than BabyMetal. In the LadyBaby video I saw, the Japanese girls were not at all singing saccharine pop, it was kind of atonal and menacing, despite sounding exactly like kawaii Japanese girls. And finally, LadyBaby's guitar riffs were just far better than any of BabyMetal's guitar riffs. LadyBaby is definitely not something I would be interested in listening to more than once, and it is a huge gimmick (really more of a parody), but musically there's just far more substance to it than what they are actually parodying. BabyMetal has literally nothing going for them but the gimmick. I can't imagine anyone other than weebs liking BabyMetal. If you're actually into metal, it should be easy to recognize their music has no substance, and if you're into j-pop, but don't normally listen to metal, why would you want to listen to j-pop backed with metal?
  22. I just straight to youtube and search there. I don't know if you mean you searched a big chunk of something I posted, or if you used the same search terms I used, which were merely, "rammstein dildo." And yeah, I completely fail at youtube searches. I'd say at least 80% of the time I want to make a funny post here by posting a youtube clip, I can't find what I'm looking for. But that might have something to do with most non-official uploads of Futurama / Family Guy / American Dad / Bob's Burgers being purged from youtube.
  23. Are you spying on the guy? Are you the one who snapped the pic in the OP?
  24. There was a time when men, even those who were vain, didn't really care what their asses looked like. Mine might be flat now, I don't know. I've lost a shitton of weight in my ass by nature of eating healthier (and somehow, I swear to god, I've been gaining weight in my gut because I started drinking soda again, but even WHILE GAINING IN MY GUT, I was STILL losing my ass! This doesn't really bother me much, other than I don't know how it could even be physically possible when you factor in I don't do a lick of exercise). I'm much more self conscious of my thick as fuck eyebrows. Oh well, at least there's two of them now.
  25. No. It was far bigger than that but quite a bit smaller than the one Kudasai posted. They probably change it up every tour.
