    Approximately 29 years ago, I was in the MSN multiplayer client for Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II (stop judging me, I know almost every word of that sentence fragment indicates that I’m old) and someone linked something that would log the IP of anyone who accessed it. When I, a naive 9-year old, opened it, they copied my IP and posted it in the public chat.

    I was so freaked out that I disconnected from the internet and unplugged my computer.


  • There’s an early-ish episode of American Dad! that I find pretty hilarious. In it, trans fats are banned. Stan, the protagonist(ish) of the show smuggles some in, then cooks and eats it in the men’s bathroom at his work. His boss, using the restroom and smelling the food, says (paraphrasing because it’s an old episode) “what’s that? I smell something good! I’ve never smelled anything good in here before!”

    When my mom’s best friend started to develop … I’m not sure, but some kind of age related disorder that caused her to forget words … She would just use “tree” in place of the word she couldn’t remember.

    She expressed this to her friend group and they all just extrapolated the actual word intended and went with it.
