Fashion in the early 2000s was so bad that I didn't realize I was dysphoric. I just thought I had common sense.

Chocolate Rain was a bizarre thing to meme on. I think even one of the guys from Green Day made a joke video...about how funny it is...that some slightly awkward kid is recording a song...?

melissa is on monads

christmas 

Hey.

Since Christmas is supposed to be the birthday of Jesus, and the Gregorian calendar counts years in an AD/BC system starting from the birth of Jesus...why doesn't New Years Day coincide with Christmas?

In order to afford such a domain name, the Cherry Poppin Daddies must have bought www.daddies.com in 1998, which coincidentally is the same year they had their big hit, "White Guys Singing About Mexican Teens Being Beaten by Sailors During WWII"
