Ain't socialist America great?

Lame.

In other lame news, I think I fried my desktop's motherboard last week, not even running POST. More on this when I have free time to actually try fixing the problem.

Also, just because this is the randomness thread.
Incorrect: "I graduated high school."
Correct: "I graduated from high school."

I use that as a litmus test to tell if the education someone received was worth a damn (worse when someone says they "graduated college")

Can we change the name of "Football" to "Tackle Chess"?  It's a more accurate description of what I see when I'm forced to sit through the Superbowl, and would help avoid this kind of confusion in the future.  

Can I like, write that into a ballot somewhere?

Or you can call it "The sport where the warm up is longer and more intense than the plays". It's only fun when you're drunk and eating a ton of chicken.

....of course because average America is to stupid to survive on its own without the government there to step in and enforce, by law, what should be fucking common sense to even a half-witted fly.

....with the exception of one major gaffe at the end. Robin, as a first name? Seriously? Overall, I enjoyed this one more. That is all.

Would you really rather he be named after a dumb ass bird?  Come on!  A Robin?!  That was something that never made any sense to me.  Bats are creepy and can be scary...ok.  I get the visual and the dramatic intimidation factor there.  I can guarantee you that there aren't many people out there with Robin-phobias as they are the furthest thing from intimidating.  lol.  At least by his legal name being Robin, it implies that he didn't actually willingly name himself after a red breasted bird in an attempt to strike fear into the hearts of criminals everywhere.

Highlight:

I would've preferred it if his legal name was "Richard"; I would've gotten my Robin/Nightwing fix then
