Tavis Smiley has two pastors on tonight talking about him, at the grocery store today I saw a magazine did a retrospective of his life. What gives?

Actually, I think it was "Early morning..."

Besides...4/4/68 was a Thursday.

P.S: That happened 11 days before I was born.

Oh. I guess I am retarded. I just don't think about the anniversaries of people dying, even famous people.

What makes the 40th anniversary so much more significant than the first, or the 39th? There is no more significance, next year he's still gonna be dead, and the year after that, and the year after that too.

Sure Drake - we believe you.

Even giving you the benefit of the doubt, that's not an April Fools joke, this is.

OK, bguirk, but it was still an April Fool's joke.

Ano, that's a funny article. Did I tell you I'm going to start making my own PSAs for my show?

Anyway, how is "hay guyz I can't figure this out lol" an "April Fool's joke?" Remember what Adam always said - the art to playing a prank is making someone believe something extraordinary. There's nothing extraordinary in you being dense as fuck.

Exactly. I've never been so in agreement with Liz.

It makes me feel kinda dirty

Anyway - weren't you claiming that you were weening yourself off of posting here?

That's his idea of backpedaling.

Totally typical of his MO.

Heck - at least you admitted it this time.

Maybe next time, you'll just forgo the transparent bullshit step altogether.

And Ano, what's "MO" mean?

Why don't you just Google and look for the Wikipedia article that's about four links down?

I was reading the Thinkgeek page. I remembered the wikipedia page on Beta that I read a few weeks ago. In 1988 Sony released ED Beta which had a comparable resolution to DVD. So much for the wisdom of the marketplace. Or wisdom of crowds. Or whatever other hippie terms are used to look optimistically on the dismal headless chicken sway and fro of the people everywhere.
I mean, seriously, recordable DVD quality in the 80s. What could we be doing now?
We're doing nothing.
Guess which video player we had when I was little.
I liked the hype around Blu Ray better than HD DVD but Blu Ray hasn't won yet. It still has to avoid the fate of laserdisc.
