The Random Crap Thread 2: It Hits the Fan.

@AussieT and I recently explained to Noah that there wasn't always 12 months in a year. He thought we were joking until we pointed out the prefixes of the months September -December.

 

[Cajungal]

Welp. I think I'm at my limit for the day. I'm leaving work early, and no one can stop me.

But...there was.

February used to be the last month of the year. That's why it's the one that gets the extra day for leap year...it was easier to just tack the extra day onto the end of the year. March used to be the first month. When you start with March, you'll see that all the prefixed months fall right where they're supposed to.

The Roman calendar did start on march, but it had 10 months, and ended in December as far as they can tell. They Roman year was about 304 days.

 

[PatrThom]

That's some...seriously noticeable drift, then.

I was legitimately pissed that Braveheart beat Babe for the Oscar.

After my computer being gone for over two months (and discovering I hate the tapatalk app) I have returned.

Have I missed anything?

Well, there is that whole "robots vs cthulu" kickstarter...

I thought of you when i posted it.

Normally I don't much care for buzzfeed, but I stumbled on this looking for an old commercial.. and... RIGHT IN THE CHILDHOOD OUCH

[PatrThom]

Remember when obviously elderly marketers tried to flavor their advertising with their artificial "hip?"
It was so horribly embarrassing. Even as a kid I would shudder whenever they came on.
I mean, I loved the Vince & Larry PSAs, but whenever they played the one where they rap*, I would just cringe.

--Patrick
*Which I actually DO have on a VHS somewhere, but which I apparently can't find online.

A gubernatorial candidate just aired a remake of the "daisy" comercial because our governor might go to jail. But it had the nuclear warhead and everything.

What the fuck?

I'm re-reading my Pokemon Nuzlocke from late 2012, and while the QQ stuff is still funny--well, there's a reason pop culture reference humor is a bad idea. I'm finding Marauder Shields references in this and it's just ... dated.

You forgot.


So here's an even older meme.

I saw one crazy theory that Marauder Shields is made from Saren (nevermind that he was pretty much completely destroyed) in one final attempt to stop Shepard.

 

[HCGLNS]

Shields? WTF are you guys smoking? The Marauder MAD-3R has 11.5 tons of armour!

It's the 2 PPCs you have to worry about, though.

 

[HCGLNS]

Clan ER PPC's like totally OP.

 

[Null]

Clan ER PPC's like totally OP.

Ah, the Marauder IIC - with 3 ER PPCs. Yeah, sure it would burn itself out in a half-dozen turns. But since it could take down an entire lance by itself in 3 turns, not a big issue.

 

[Officer_Charon]

Ahhh, fond Mechwarrior 2 memories...

 

[Yoshimickster]

Dear lord do I love me some 60s super hero manga, all the cheese of power rangers with all the depressing sci-fi writing that made the era great. Also maybe some casual racism, but hey it ain't like American comics were much better back then.

I have to remember to read the funny threads after the ranty threads.

 

[CynicismKills]

So there's this commercial on Spotify that plays all the time lately, for some Playlist based on the new Flash TV show. The subject isn't the issue, though, it's the goddamned guy reading the prompt. You can hear the spit crackling in his mouth as he talks, and it is the most disgusting and annoying thing on the fucking planet right now. Every time it starts playing, all I hear is CRACKLE CRK CRK CRACKLE CRK CRK and it's so fucking gross I have to turn off my speakers sometimes.

So the old black rum's got a hold on you, then?

So it appears that Stephen Collins, the actor who played Reverend Camden on 7th Heaven, was recorded by his wife, admitting to molesting underage girls. As a result, he's been fired from Ted 2 and is currently under a criminal investigation.

I'm just gonna put this here.

 

[Bumble the Boy Wonder]

My brother and I played five nights at freddy's.

I didn't want the video to be 10 minutes long.

So this is us sounding like some chipmunks and being scared. Part 1.

 

[GasBandit]

Look, if you keep complaining, Comcast will have no choice but to get you fired.

So tonight while gaming me and my buddy went to pick up dinner, and on the way back stopped off at the liquor store nearby. Walking out was a girl was the absolute cliche - spray tan, sunglasses at 8:30 at night, yoga pants, UGGs (even though it was 84 degrees today). She was carrying a six pack of an unfamiliar orange box. Inside, I saw a stack of the same box.

Drinking some right now, and it's good:

 

[Null]

Does it go with your yoga pants? Does it help you even?

This is TWICE you're making me jealous. I haven't found that flavor of Woodchuck around here, and our nearest Trader Joe's didn't have the Pumpkin Spice Salted Caramel truffles.

I haz a pumpkin sad.

 

[AshburnerX]

As someone who primairly drinks cider as his alcohol of choice... I CANNOT stand Woodchuck. They put out so much shit and it all ruins/overpowers the natural flavor of the cider.
