mypasswordis Posted March 19, 2011 Report Posted March 19, 2011 Funnily enough, one time I was looking for olive oil in the grocery store, I swear some chick was eyeing me and wanted to talk. I think she was a high school student, though, and I think she thought I was, so I bailed.

Knuckledragger Posted March 19, 2011 Author Report Posted March 19, 2011 Two fun Daft Facts: Guy-Manuel de Homem-Christo (back) is holding a Leica. Probably an M9, with either 50mm or 35mm Summicron (meaning "F/2" in Leicaspeak) on it. Thomas Bangalter (front) and I share the same birthday, to the year. Sadly, that's as far as the similarity goes.

Knuckledragger Posted March 20, 2011 Author Report Posted March 20, 2011 Brace yourself, folks. We're going to turn the WTF up to 11. This is possibly a repost, but a .gif version showed up on reddit a few days ago and reminded me of it. NSFW What's going on here? Via Reddit: It's a combination of several 2channel / Nicovideo memes. The ones I recognize: Overall, the thing is a parody of (a parody of, see this video) the racing scenes from the racing anime Initial D, which all look kind of like There is also a "Gutter run" in there, which is kind of the main characters signature move, where he hooks his wheels into the gutter to be able to go around the curve faster. The dudes on the bike are from a gay wrestling porn movie. It's popular on nicovideo and has sparked things like this. (NSFW) The steamroller is from The person driving the Steamroller is Kagamine Rin, a Vocaloid personification. She and Len are somehow associated with steamrollers now, presumably because both are yellow. The background music is also a pretty distorted Vocaloid song, see that first youtube link up there. The video came from the Japanese video sharing site Nico Nico Douga. I believe it was made for an annual 3D animation contest a few years back. The downhill drift race setting is almost certainly based on car racing anime/manga Initial D. The two guys in their underwear are from a wrestling-style gay porn video starring Billy Herrington, which (I have no idea why) became a somewhat big internet meme in Japan. The song in the background is a mashup of audio from the same gay porn video (lots of ass slapping) and Miku Miku ni Shiteageru, the character song for Hatsune Miku, the most well known Vocaloid. Vocaloids are essentially characters designed for the voices in Yamaha's singing synthesizer applications, and have a whole subculture around them in Japan. Dig through wikipedia if you want more. The girl driving the steamroller is Kagamine Rin, another vocaloid. I don't know why, but Rin and her brother Len are often associated with steamrollers. I also don't know why her hair comes off. The baby in the dude's crotch that shoots the laser and is in the sunset at the end is the Gedou baby. That link has the full story but tl;dr it's a popular japanese image macro, generally ended with "Masa ni gedou!", or roughly "What an asshole!" Fun trivia: the baby is the son of a redditor! And now, for some comparative normalcy:
