Posted February 11, 2007 Comments(0) This thing has been around forever, but I always think it is funny when I see it. It’s a little interactive thing that let’s you type in a phrase and have the great Phoenix Wright say it for you.
Here’s an objection you may have with my blog:
Make your own here:
AND…
Just like everything else on the internet the is a paraody of everything else. Some fine geeks decided to create a Phoenix Wrong site as well.
Have fun.

On more lenient boards, users will mention that they are high as often as they possibly can. It isn’t even uncommon for someone to start a thread asking how much a certain portion of drugs would cost them. This leads to the great debate about drugs and those who are against them.
Typically the conversation will start with a few stoners saying how great their drug of choice is. They will have a few laughs with fellow drug users about how great they are and how high they are too. This doesn’t last long however in a mixed community. It just can’t and the all knowing person that watched an after school special is going to chime in with a little:
“Drugs are bad, mmmk?”
sooner or later. This gets the ball rolling. Now everyone comes out of the woodwork to talk about drugs and how they like them, or how they think people who do them are losers.
Now if you aren’t familiar with the term, I should probably explain where it came from. There is a little cartoon on Comedy Central that is called South Park. One of the best shows of the last decade in my opinion. It is 4, foul mouthed kids who have some adventures in the town of South Park. Anyways, the boys’ principal, Mr. Mackey, always likes to say “mmmk?”. He has been known to say, “Drugs are bad, mmmk?” as well. So that’s where it came from.
The weed smoker will tell you that smoking weed is better for you than drinking alcohol which is illegal. They will give you all the reasons it should be illegal. To save time:
I’m sure you can think of many more, but we’ll stop there.
After this debate begins the guys who have never smoked weed in their lives start to spew off all kinds of crap they heard from some teacher, or whatever and act as if they are experts on the subject. Remember, they have never tried marijuana. They just know what they have heard about it. Of course that is a government conspiracy. We all know that.
Anywho, it’s a lot like the Religious Debate. There are people that know what they are talking about and there are those who clearly do not. Those who do not make the conversation go forever and the whole thing just escalates. If you want to spur a debate, drugs, and Mary Jane specifically, is a sure fire way to piss some people off.
Posted February 10, 2007 Comments(0) This is what the internet is for kids.
PWNAGE.
PWNAGE is the art of getting your ass owned in life. PWNAGE is the answer to any troubles you may have and thought to yourself: “Hey, I’m going to talk about this on a public message board and hope people care.” No one does and they all race to the keyboards to tell you that you just got “PWNT”, “PWN’d”, and in the most traditional sense “OWNED”. The crazier the situation is that you relay to the message board community the funnier everyone thinks it is at home.
Where did “PWNT” come from you ask? Good question n00b. Way back when in the land of Stinkopia the great message board icon FatKidInMomsBasement accidently typed the word “pwned” while trying to type “owned”. Everyone on the interwebs saw this great mistake and he is thought to be the first person on the interwebs to get pwnd, but actually became a legend. All derivitives since have popped up and now we can safely throw as many of them out there as we want on any given day. PWN’d, PWNT, OWNT, PWNED, PWNAGE, PWNINATOR, and on and on. It really has many uses. Much like the great story behind the F-word.
Pictures for this fantastic fad are so plentiful that I could probably just make a website with them on it. I am not going to do that becasue it would be stupid, but I will throw some fantastic examples out for you that I have grown to love over the years.
Ahhh…good times.
Posted February 9, 2007 Comments(2) When it comes to encounters discussed online there is always a sexual sort of connotation that can be drawn from almost any conversation involving one person and their encounter with another. They could be talking about how they went to the movies with their buddy, had to take their sister to school, just took a picture of their dog, or even that they hugged a tree. No matter how trivial the relationship between the poster and this other person, animal, or inanimate object, some weisenheimer on the board is going to make fun of them and that someone likes to say www.babynames.com. Why? They are implying that there is a sexual relationship here and that this person is in love with whatever object they are talking about.
Poster1: I just sat on my sister.
Poster 2: www.babynames.com
Poster 1: So I was at the store today and I just fell in love with the new iPod they had there.
Poster 2: www.babynames.com
Poster 1: I just shook Barack Obama’s hand!
Poster 2: www.babynames.com
Poster 1: I just saw my mom naked

Poster 2: www.babynames.com
You get the idea. It doesn’t show up all the time, but if used correctly it is a good punchline when you have nothing else to post.
