And, remember, I use a Pinkie Pie icon as my profile image, so…

I just use 'broads'. I'm sure that won't bother anyone.

Bby I wanna see u shake it like a controlled demolition.

Ha, that's like XKCD's '9/11 compromise' comic. "The first tower was brought down by terrorists, the second was brought down in an unrelated and completely coincidental government plot."

That actually kind of grated on me before I heard about all the political stuff, so I was pleasantly surprised to be on the right side of that shit for once. It doesn't sound weird to you? "Females never pay any attention to me"? It sounds weird to me.

Rolling Stone and Pitchfork confuse me. How do they get away with saying, five years after the fact, that an album they were indifferent to is now one of the greatest ever? Movie, book, etc. critics don't give themselves nearly so many mulligans. Yeah, some albums get better with age, but they pull that shit all the…
