    Remember when LOTR types were losers? But then some 'big brother' type of chap corralled you and a group of pygmies to play in his room 'Dungeons and Dragons,' oh my god, dice and drawing and then years later those stupid lead figures. Those scientists took over with their ZX81s, their video, Star Wars on my skin, get it off. Meanwhile our remnants smoked, we played chase penny down the swimming pool with real girls, sometimes. All before BMX.

    I didn't think LOTR types could muscle in on anything. I thought they were too busy having 'asthma' and 'social anxiety', and too busy looking at japanese drawings on the internet.

    Remember when beverages that obviously don't contain wheat products weren't marketed as being gluten-free?

    Man, shots fired. I'm no LOTR type, but ease up a little.
    I get that you're probably kidding around when you bash stuff. :D

    Shots fired, placed in a safe, and locked for safe keeping. (I'm a LOTR fan.)

    Most of the time, to be honest. Unless it's England, and then I'm sometimes serious.

    Remember when it was OK to make fun of geeks?

    Can't even make fun of idiots and lunatics anymore. They are now called 'Otherkin' and we have to accept them for being grass in human form. That's totally what they are, because unhappy feelings are bad. :(

    Isn't it funny how you only had to dish out $50? If it was that easy to get out of prison, things would not be good.

    Don't I just pay £100 and walk out the front door? I think that's actually a policy in the US. (Ho-ho! Social satire!)

    These days, if you want to make fun of someone, you got to trick them into saying something unPC, then accuse them of bigotry.

    I remember my dad used to type out game programs on his Tandy for his five year old son (me) to play. He taught me some very simple programs like filling the screen with 'hello'. Does that count?

    Didn't start typing out programs from books till we got our zx spectrum, which I guess is 2nd gen?

    Remember when the Simpsons was a clever, charming little cartoon about family life, with insightful social and political commentary carefully inserted for the adults... you know, before it became a dumb slapstick commentary on what's the latest trend while going on zany, totally crazy adventures and lowballing us with infantile, repetitive humor.
