Nothing fun, anymore


Nowdays I have a small social circle. My proper friends all went away to uni, they come back occasionally and I see them. Otherwise Im left with a couple of stoners who aren't particualr fun so I choose to avoid them when possible.

But the thing is, say a friend who is at uni comes up it's just the same thing every time. We go to my room, talk about what each other has been doing. Usally nothing interesting comes up. Discuss some other shit. Then it get's awkward, I just want to get back on the computer and browse /b/ or something, but they're still in my room so I cant. I mean, whats the fucking point. Unless my friends offer me something that I cannot do by myself then why bother having them come over. The conversations are never stimulating. I have yet to meet someone who is like me and have conversations about the kind of stuff I am into. I might be invinting one over to have a few quiet drinks with later this week, dunno why, I would rather have them by myself, but something is nagging at me to let him come over. Back in the day it was all fun and games, now it's just disscussion and possibly drinks. Nothing fun, anymore.

Mets: Rickrolled

Good job, Anon. The Shea Stadium will get rickrolled, thanks to our efforts. Plus, Fark.com takes the "credit". Less newfags, moar win.

Chris Landers Has Lurked Moar


Chris Landers, the writer of this piece at City Paper Online as definitely lurked moar. Included are some interviews with someone ideological newfags:

Across the street, a man in a green eyeless mask says his name is "David." He traveled "many hours" to be here and is staying in a hotel. He puts it this way: "Am I here for the lulz? Oh, fuck yeah. Without /b/, you don't get the spectacle, and without the spectacle, nobody cares. These poor guys, Arnie [Lerma] and Mark Bunker and those guys, they've been doing it for years, but without the spectacle, nobody pays attention. You wouldn't have any fun. That's what /b/'s brought--it's brought some youth, it's brought some energy."

It's amazing to read an article about Chanology that 1) Understands Anonymous and 2) Brings something interesting to the table.

I Hate April Fool's Day


Takes the whole fun out of pranks if you can be sure that everything funny or weird you see on this day of pink that it's just a holiday sanctioned cute joke. Some news are easily recognizable hoaxes (like the thing with the ipod video player), others are less clear, but it doesn't matter. Everyone will doubt it anyway. The whole day everyone walks around with their hands covering their ears. You know what would be a good prank, if the shit going down at http://www.newgrounds.com/ was not a joke. If they saved it for April 1st, but then never went back to normal. People would be confused for weeks.

I suppose the RickRolling at youtube.com amuses me slighty, but it also annoys me. Is 4chan the only source of humorous original content on the internet? Or is referencing it show some sort of internet cred?

Scott at VGCats at least used the day to deliver a stinging burn to everyone's favorite webcomic idiot:
