Oh man, I got a massive one the other day, Seren was right up in it's grill and we caught it and let it go outside. At which point she burst into tears because I wouldn't let her hold it in her hands. |

You could see all his little knee joints and stuff it's bloody incredible that they come in sizes smaller than that and the little money spider guys, man if they're using the same knee tech at that scale that's totally mind blowing. |

It's nice to see Saturn stuff that isn't completely battered like a lot on eBay. The Game Gear seems to be gaining in popularity lately; I think it might be due to people offering recapping services or even replacing the screen with LCDs and VGA output. |

Yes, a London bus went by when I refreshed it, so I could see it was in London and that snow was... unlikely... unless there was a massive delay. It did look just like snow (on one side of the road) in the streetlights, though

Yeah, it's entirely fucking weird, especially given that it's actually a reference to a song from Aladdin of all things. None of this should be a massive surprise given that their founder, Gavin McInnes, is a total fucking nut job. As evidenced, amongst other things, by the episode of his online show he did where he fucked himself with a dildo on camera in order to prove he didn't hate gays. Or something. |

It’s meant to disguise the ugly truth of their thoughts. The idea being to dress “smart/casual” to make themselves look more normal, like the good kids in the neighbourhood, for instance. And it works. |
