If there was a fatterchojin, I think he'd look like this:

That girl is such a chojina.

Yes, it's that simple and stupid. Has staying power because we love our villains fighting other villains in media; it's fun and interesting. Besides, fifteen year olds think it's really cool, and the arrested development inherent to the modern 'Geek Culture' means that they grow into thirty year olds who STILL think it's really cool. I remember a couple years back, finding out the music reviewer at the college paper was a writer, and I was psyched. I love hearing people's stories, and no one else was in the room, so we could actually talk about it. He then told me all about this whole thing, a sloppy, multigenerational epic about vampire clans (has to be a fucking clan, right?) versus werewolf clans, with the added twist that vampires used to be elves!!! followed by the goddamned enormous backstory of the Vampires Formerly Known as Elves. This guy was twenty five years old, was under the delusion that it wasn't completely terrible and embarrassing. |
I will never forget already regretting I asked, having to wait in the room for another twenty five minutes for class to start, and already having listened to this crap for fifteen minutes, doing everything I could to look interested because he was a friend... and he pauses, looks sideways at me like a magician about to do an awesome trick, points his finger in the air and says "now... the thing about vampires is, they're corrupted elves".
|
Speaking as a huge fucking nerd, I enjoy arguments like these (Vampires vs Werewolves, coolest superheros, etc), but there's a line between "Arguing for fun and interest" and "Oh god I'm a huge man-child look at all my figurines"
|
Cool story bro
|
And corrupted elves are really aliens.
I dont mind monster mash ups as long as they are fighting each other. It's when they add the stupid forbidden love aspect in them that it becomes so awful. |

one time a 30 year old virgin i worked with was arguing with nobody (because nobody cared but he was still bitching) about how much cooler dragons are than lizards (wtf). i told him "you know what's better about lizard? they exist."
this guy has several dragon statuettes (yea!) in his house. one time his cat knocked one off the shelf and he spanked it. also he was telling me that he has like 50 empty boxes of mountain dew code red 12-packs in his kitchen. |
:lol you should have taken him seriously and pissed him off by saying that classical dragons are ridiculous and nonsensical, cited Terry Pratchett, and then gone off about the evolutionary wonder that is the komodo dragon as condescendingly as possible
|
and then u claim that sierra mist is better than mountain dew
|
another time he said that eastern dragons are stupid. actually he probably said chinese dragons. i just had to let that one go.
another time he went to great lengths to explain why ghostbusters is awesome because i said i'd never seen ghostbusters. i let him talk, and then i said "all right, but the reason i've never watched ghostbusters is that i have no interest in ghostbusters." i think this guy ate frozen pizza every night. one time a certain brand was on a good sale and he bought like 10 boxes. a few days later he lost power for two days and had to throw them all away - and the sale was over. |

I never got the whole Mountain Dew as a nerd beverage thing. Maybe it's because I haven't tasted it in at least 10 years.
|
he's not really a nerd. well he's sort of a nerd in that he loves anime and his favorite show of all time is buffy the vampire slayer and he's way into dragons.
but he doesn't really have the benefits of being a nerd. he's not even hip to the internet. one time he was talking to me about "indies games" and was explaining one to me that he couldn't remember the name of. "is it iji?" "yeah, that's it! how did you know?" is it weird that i've worked with at least two 30 year-old virgins? is it weird that i know i've worked with at least two 30 year-old virgins? |
On the subject of nerds: Me and and a couple of my friends started a Japanese Film Club when we were in boarding school, so we'd be able to show Japanese b-horror movies, Kurosawa films, etc. We had out first meeting and showed the film Tampopo and then abandoned the club because the film nerds were the minority of the attendees, the majority were greasy anime nerds with cat ears and anime shirts who were upset we didn't show the kawaii animu bullshit they expected. Fuck those people.

that shirt is awesome. my friend bought it and i was pissed off because... i want it.
also have you watched kuroneko? i loved onibaba. |
Criterion makes the Bluray and DVD versions these days. They just coincidentally sell the shirt. I didn't know that Criterion had an online store, let alone sold anything besides movies, until I looked up House and saw that shirt.
Srsly love that movie. |
I think I'll have to check the hipster record shop a few towns over to see if they started carrying copies of Hausu, since that's where I got my Criterion copies of Naked Lunch, Crumb, and Fear and Loathing.

"Hugh Hefner was pronounced dead at the hospital today. His death was ruled accidental after he succumbed to injuries sustained from falling into a barbecue pit unattended."

I almost looked that up to see if it was true, but then I remembered that I don't give a a shit, since the newest issue of Playboy that I own is from around 1975. Same goes for Rolling Stone (I do read their website for my Matt Taibbi fix, though.)

I used to be proud of my bootleg VHS recordings of the "Dogville Comedies" (Early sound films that were parodies of then-contemporary films starring dogs wearing clothes with creepily dubbed voices) which was almost always played when my friends and I would get stoned, and I just found out that they've released them on dvd. I almost feel bad abandoning my original tape :(.

It's hard to find a real fat 'gina these days as skinny designer 'ginas are all the rage. Nice to see a throwback to the old "fat" days, Chojina!

43 deleted kahl posts and counting. Someone is the maddest.
The rules say we should permaban if someone evades a ban, but because I know it's just your hormone treatments flaring up, I'll just extend it by a week every time you come back before it's up. DETENTION EVERY DAY. you mess with the bull, buster, you get the horns ![]() Btw I didn't do anything to prevent you from making new accounts. Be less emotional, honey. |
yeah dude drunken wu tang is on netflix
stick to weird foreign animation because nobody gives a fuck and if it's chinese people just pass it off assuming it's anime. nezha conquers the dragon king, havoc in heaven, secrets of the heavenly book, the golden monkey king defeats the evil. fuck yeah, shanghai studios was awesome. also feherlofia, but anybody who has seen feherlofia loves feherlofia. |
i just taught my mom to use email.
for 2 weeks she was telling me her email was broken. she was typing the entire email in the subject line and trying to send blank emails. i should get a nobel peace prize for the amount of patience exerted in that exercise. |

Engagement photos are so fucking stupid. It's getting to a point where I'm seeing a new batch every damn day on facebook and it's like they all picked the exact same location
|
My dryer crapped out on me and I had to buy a new one. Now I'm waiting for it to be delivered and it is way fucking boring.
:( cool story kitsa |
what the fuck are engagement photos? is that something that came about because of facebook?
a new dryer would be pretty sweeeeeeeeeeet though. |
I found out I was denied over $10,000 in financial aid because I didn't send somebody a letter two years ago and nobody made mention of it to me. So I'm faxing the letter today. The man in me should just scrawl WTF in big letters on paper and fax that instead.
But it's probably better this way. |
I've just been on an incredible adventure.

That's nice.
Get a new girlfriend, yet? |

Not even that amazing. It's a year's worth of aid from the FAFSA. And it wasn't the gov. that fucked it up - it was my school.
The thing is that I couldn't have done worse my first semester if I had gone on a shooting spree at my school, so my academic progress was questionable after that. Thus, they put ALL financial aid on hold. Not that they bothered to tell me this in any of the many frantic phone calls, nor the process to remove such a thing a year and a half later. After I've been regularly getting high marks and money has become more and more of an issue for me. Naw, telling me when it would have been prudent was too fucking germane for them. |
so I guess it's not actually illegal to make people work 12+ hours without a break or a lunch or anything, not so bad if you're in an office and stuff I guess but there should be something in place to protect service people from being taken advantage of. like construction workers/landscappers/etc.
|
Quote:
you are required to give people a 30 minute break if they work for over 5 hours however you are not required to pay them for that break |
I don't know about the land of the free, but it's illegal here unless the worker asks for it. There's something called the 8 hour day that unions fought for about 150 years ago, and workers are entitled to a 30-60 minute lunch break if they work more than 4 and a half hours.
I'm guessing you guys don't have that. EDIT: OK you do. Good. |
federal law =/= state law?
|
"Employees 18 years of age and older can be required to work as many hours as an employer wants."
Christ. Why isn't blood running in the streets of North Carolina? This really is beyond disgusting if it's true. |
yeah it might be state law, i've never bothered to check

All the labor jobs I had in NC were long hours, but I only had to work a couple days a week. Most of the time there's a trade off. Work for 12 hours a day for 3 days and get 4 days off wasn't so bad. If they don't offer benefits, then you know the kind of company you're working for. Even better, NC is not a union-friendly state in most cases. And Zhukov, employers can ask someone to work as many hours as they want, but those same employers do not want to pay overtime so they will likely not let people get overtime.
I'm in Pennsylvania now, and I have a security job in the mountains twice a year where I work 12-15 hour days on post for a week. No real breaks though. We eat and smoke on post. We just have to get someone to watch our post when we have to find a bathroom. |

So I just found out that Japan got a gorgeous, full-blown Samurai Shodown RPG back in the day, where you could just perform the fighting moves instead of selecting them from a menu
Then I found out immediately that a fan translation for it was completed Then i found out it wasn't actually completed, found a thread by the creator, which started in 2008 and continued right up to 06-24-2011, 10:45 PM, without any major developments from the person supposedly making it Fuuuuuck |
In Philthadelphia these days :)

Sorry, wasn't sure where to bitch about that. Sure as hell wasn't making a thread for it, but JESUS MY SOUL HURTS <3 SAMURAI SHODOWN OH GOD but I thought NC was the more civilized of the two underdeveloped halfstates that we refer to as the Carolinas?

Bartending for ten hours without a break? Busy or mellow bar, I don't know if I could handle the idiot fucking conversations that I hear in slow bars for ten hours
|
My dad once forced me to apply for a job at the local Wal-Mart, I got as far as the "we're not anti-union, we're pro-employee!" training video before I put on my hat and coat and walked out of the store (in the middle of the video). Cashiering at a smaller grocery store may suck, but at least they don't pull shit like Wal-Mart.
Gus: South and North Carolina are pretty much just the inbred conjoined twins that the United States makes live in the basement. |

I loved NC, crappy labor laws and all, but I love my fiance even more, so here I am.
Bartending for 10 hours seems like an endurance test. Bleeeeeeeeh No worries Gus, your nerdgasms and heartbreaks are safe with us...mostly. |

Pfft, out-of-staters and their ignorant assumptions. NORTHERN California is gross and underdeveloped; in contrast, Southern California is an entirely different place.
It's gross and overdeveloped without the infrastructure in place necessary to support it, and even if it could be supported it would remain an obscene, self-indulgent travesty |
