@achewood I am composing a tone poem about eagles, lawnmowers, and Ted Nugent. It is composed only of the sounds of those things.

My Japanese class has a lot of this stuff -- one guy owns both a Homestar hoodie and an 8-Bit Theater shirt, which is some sort of divine concordance.

I do, however, have a disturbing trend of getting bugged by professors about my Wigu-related shirts. (My Neuroscience prof appears to dig my "Not a Doctor" shirt, which is good, but having a really awkward conversation last week with my Japanese professor about my "ceci n'est pas une potato" shirt just got really odd really fast.)

This reminds me of a scene from "Lost in Translation:"  there is a wonderful scene where Bill Murray's character meets a Japanese man in a bar who speaks no English, but fluent French and attempts a conversation with him.  I highly recommend this movie to anyone it's got a decent ammount of depth for a comedy.

I saw lots of homestar and strongbad shirts at the Weird Al show a couple of months ago.

I hope I never have to refer to a scone in spoken conversation.

I saw an American wearing a Homestar T-shirt in Florence, Italy.  Do I win €5?

I'll give you €80 each if you can tell me if Leisuretown has been archived, and where.

The burning question, indeed...
