Conform To Anti-Conform!
« on: April 23, 2003, 09:20:27 AM »

Before I go on: Caution! There might be mentions of rap or other popular music on this page!

Ok, good. Glad I got that out of the way. Hopefully that warning will help ward off some of those morons that break out into spasms over the thought of rap or other popular music because they believe it isn't right to like them because everyone else likes them and if they do like them, their head will explode splashing what's left of their brain all over their original Woodstock posters ruining the effect of them.

The whole "anti-conforming" thing is fine by me with the exception that it is a total oxymoron(Which means "two words that contradict), not to mention generally stupid. That's fine with me as well, I really don't care what people decide to do with their lives or lack-there-of, as long as the crap doesn't start coming my way. And indeed the crap hasn't started coming my way, so I figured I'd get a head start on them starting today.

You see, the problem starts when you have a group of people that try to "anti-conform". Since it's a group of "anti-conformers", they all must be trying to do the same thing, which is to "anti-conform". Allow me:
http://dictionary.reference.com/search?q=conform" TARGET="BLANK">Definition of 'Conform'
1. To correspond in form or character; be similar.
2. To act or be in accord or agreement; comply: a computer that conforms to the manufacturer's advertising claims.
3. To act in accordance with current customs or modes.
With that in mind, I believe we can come to the conclusion that people who "anti-conform" are really "conforming to be anti-conformers".

Then again, I guess the dictionary doesn't apply to this large group of people who engage in really deep thinking, after all, they wouldn't want to agree with what everyone else things, they might be conforming if they did. According to the 2002 Anti-Conforming Handbook, the punishment for an anti-conformer conforming is the loss of his or her favourite shirt/article of clothing for one month.

I'm going to go hide in my basement now before I have a mob of anti-conformers banging on my door about how wrong I was to attack them in the manner that I did. (They don't like it when you use words to attack, since they can't read).

Thanks to http://www.gotthegeek.com/forum/profile.php?mode=viewprofile&u=32">some guy from http://forums.gotthegeek.com">The Forums (AKA: TheJudge) for giving me the brilliant idea to have a weekly poll question for the viewers to be forced to answer or face the punishment of having his or her favourite shirt/article of clothing taken away for the period of one month. This week's poll question is something like, "How many computers do you own?". Uh... I think it's that anyway.

I was just picturing Lacerda in his basement making the recording, signing and swinging his arms around doing the typical hip hop hand signals as he's raping and that image just validates the whole article. No offence to you Lacerda.

Actually, I had a head-set mic when I recorded the song, so my hands were completely free to do all the swingin'. I think my right hand got away now and again, but overall I remained still, tightly clenching what remained of my shattered dignity.

Anyway, what's with all the votes for 6+ computers? You people can go to hell!

I have 3 boxes running everquest, 1 box running look-up data for EQ, my music box, and a box I let my mom use every so often.  Not to mention countless I-got-bored-so-I-took-it-apart-and-never-was-bored-enough-to-put-it-back-together.
