mind the walrus posted:Genuinely sounds like a Warren Ellis or Grant Morrison plot from the late 90s/early 00s. There's an opening bit in the increasingly dated Accelerando where the transhuman protagonist's brain, which hosts his publicly-accessible web server, gets slashdotted (old-school terminology for going mildly viral, look it up, told you it was dated) and he has to free up a bunch of space to handle the incoming traffic, and even then his perception of time gets completely hosed by the sudden increase in processing load.

artsy fartsy posted:It's not actually "I'm a taurus" right? I remember looking up the lyrics back when the show was first popular and some site had that line and another one had the much more likely "all my toys" but if you Google it now everything says taurus but that's just a mistake that got copied over and over, right?? Tauruses are supposed to be good with the ladies, iirc. In any case it's absolutely "I'm a taurus."

Ah, yes, the "What do you mean the London 2012 Olympics logo looks like Lisa Simpson giving Bart a blowjob?" excuse.

Being real I think the London one was definitely a mistake of dumb rich people not realizing their taste is lovely, while the Japanese one is absolutely a savvy ploy for free marketing.

I went to a Benedictine highschool. The monks were pretty drat cool. One of the rode a motorcycle, another one had a huge woodworking shop and made canoes and guitars.
