Title: Nothing Special Joined: Oct 25 2006 Posts: 396

I'm sitting in the computer lab at the college I attend, just killing time for the afternoon and in my head I've been keeping a running tally on the crap I've seen come in and "work." It's fairly easy to do with only about 100 machines in the lab, which makes percentages easy to figure. Behold:

Skanks in puffy fur-lined-hood coats and Ugg boots: 38%
Losers in Hollister polos (regardless of popped collar): 40%
Middle-aged housewives working on their nursing/medical transcriptionist degree: 8%
Emo-tards: 10%
CCNA h4x0rs: 2%
Other: 2%

Carry on.

Nope, I had to leave because there were none free. Everyone was too busy looking at THEIR OWN myspace page, and repeatedly refreshing it.

What kind of asshat looks at their own MySpace when they aren't editing it?

Posted: Feb 12 2007 06:48 pm

A narcissistic asshat?

So, wait, let me try to sort this oxymoron out. Some Emo kid whose life revolves around the fact that they are sad and depressed, and that no one understands them, and they have no friends, is constantly checking his Myspace account for hits and friend requests?

Would a true Emo want "artificial Myspace friends?". Doesn't Myspace fall under the "Consumerism" that Emo fight so passionately against? I don't get it.

Stupid Emo kids.

Dude, Portland is the fucking Emo capital of the world. You should know as well as I do.

Yes, but I haven't hung out at a college or high school in a couple of years so luckily I somewhat shielded from the insanity.

My school's comps:

85% of people on Myspace (including me), mostly
5% of nerds trying to play RCR with 2 supervisors looking. It makes it REALLY difficult to play games.
9% of people watching anime on youtube 'n such. Very few people are into anime in my school.
1%: me trying hard to access the Sydlexia forums through school blocks,

Posted: Feb 12 2007 11:20 pm

1% watching "Heroes" tomorrow.

I don't go to computer labs EVER since I have my nice shiny eMac (old but very useful) at work and my nasty excuse of a computer at home (boo to PC), I can easily breakdown my customer types:

5% - Wealthy people who quite apparently didn't get wealthy with their computer knowledge, and often sound like they have slaves hired "Yes man, my boss Mr. so and so, has gotten me to call, yes yes" (with some foreign almost incomprehensible accent)

8% - The over 65 years group (who by the way didn't even own CD players so definitely shouldn't have the most popular mp3/video player... which consequently I'm not allowed to mention due to a non-disclosure policy that could get me fired)

60% - "My kid tells me it's broken" hillbilly mother... the same mother who says "what's the start button?" or "why push start, it's already turned on?" or "what do you mean right click?"

20% - I didn't call until I was 7 months out of warranty because it wasn't important to me, and now I want you to fix it for free (group of self-righteous morons)

7% - Other

Why push start, it's already on!!!

Tell her to pull the "start trigger" on this while it's in her mouth

Bomberman, your school blocks the forums? If mine did, I would walk down to the office and get into a fistfight with the computer techs. Luckily, I'm one of 2 people at my school who even know about this site.

Yeah, you ass!, why aren't you promoting Sydlexia everywhere you go!?!
This Is A Joke

See, Syd, this is why you need to get hopping on some Sydlexia shirts! Advertising is your friend! As, we all know, word of mouth and Viral advertising only works to a small degree.

Because we don't want people to think we're trying to blow up the bridge by putting LED sydlexia promos in "suspicious places"!

I am currently in talks with Paris Hilton about a possible ad campaign for the site. If the deal is finalized, she will tattoo the site's name, SYDLEXIA.COM, right above her vag. We are having trouble reaching a price agreement though.

She thinks that since she's famous, I should pay her a shitload of money. I am arguing that since the ad will only be seen by 35-100 people per day, I should only have to pay like $100/month.

How many hits have you gotten off of the Wikipedia links in Crystal Pepsi, Monster House, and Robot Masters? After all, that's how I ended up here!

Actually, my school blocks work different from yours. In NYC, it blocks anything in schools that are suggestive (it's non-discriminatory). Sydlexia is no exception.

In my time upstate tough, I was the only person that even knew about the site, and everything was safe...
