^Definitely the most weirdly amusing thing google ads has ever shown me... What does this say about my browsing habits exactly?

After like a decade, I finally tracked down that one Transformers yaoi someone posted at GameFAQs one time! There are so many, you see. But this one always stuck in my mind for some truly priceless banter from a not entirely unwilling Megatron - the kind all too easily imaginable in Frank Welker's inimitable rasp!

Megatron: "PRIME... EH... JUST UNHOOO YES"

Megatron: "EHE... *huff, gasp* AHNNNAAAAAA"

Of all the things to make one feel one's age! When I was a little kid I'd have been "ROBOTS WIT WEINERS? YEA RIGHT LMAO" but by then I wasn't even surprised. Now I ain't even amused - unless there's a great script to be read! :[

This was intensely debated back in the day, back when the internet had an actual purpose.
Probably nothing more than a nozzel and a receptical, both hidden under a panel.

I asked my friend what browser he uses on Linux, and he told me he uses Google Ultron.
I naturally googled it and turned out it's a joke, originating from 4chan

Someone even made a webpage for it, so if ever someone asks about your browser, you know what to answer:

Culture. And big tourism business.
It's not so rare that it's foreign tourists getting skewered in place of actual Spaniards.
Remember that plumpy American who received several new poopholes maybe only a couple years ago ? The video made it to the news and I think we're lucky not to ever hear the screams.

... but wait... this is supposed to be the "and it made me smile" thread you sicko! :lol:

No no I mean tourists in particular. I can maybe get the cultural angle (still dumb though >_>) but deliberately visiting just to get a fate worse than fisting?

It's an awesome site and deserves the attention. One of the most interesting gaming sites on the internet if you ask me. Congrats on seeing all your hard work finally pay off a bit!

not all of us can read that, you know.


In other news: a 100 minute old baby saved an adult strangers life. I'm glad that what was originally a tragic story was changed to be not so tragic.

Gotta love dat moe

I actually found the neptune games pretty enjoyable, though they are way too easy. Cave was pretty cool, in MkII, I loved the Black Label super attack. Good stupid fan-servicey fun.

Also, I love this amazing 1895 clothing ad -
http://chroniclingamerica.loc.gov/lccn/ ... -1/seq-20/
- their copywriter must've been the ancestor of the folks who wrote up INTERSTELLAR METAL MURDER MACHINES. I mean, just look:
"Clothing Absolutely Slaughtered!" (ballsy use of a wild western-style block serif font)
"SUCH MARVELS AS THESE SHOULD RAISE THE WIND!" (ditto, this is just two lines)
Exactly the same kind of story hook as you get in modern clearance sales, but I like the openness of that age, when you'd actually put in a newspaper the (purported) details of your business dealings. Obviously nobody would do that today.

Oh, and the story above the article is all about Murder Bay in Washington D.C., former site of the famous Hooker's Division, modern site of the Federal Triangle.
The side stories have catchy headlines too: "Oxen Are Driven Full Speed Into a Dead Wall" and "Punishing an Insolent Conductor."
