Man one time I went to a Primus concert and their light show was just replaying clips from salad fingers...it was the wrong concert to do acid at.

I remember watching an episode and then reconsidering my life decisions

To make decisions that would make Hubert Cumberdale proud, of course.

Right?

Right?

I discovered Boards of Canada though Salad Fingers when it was new, and I love those guys.

Fun salad fingers story. When it first came out it was a hit in our circle of friends. It was also hosted on a website called fat-pie.com

One girl wanted to show her friend and her friends mum at their place, so she just googled "fat pie" on front of everyone.

Salad fingers was not above the fold in the search results. It was especially bad because her friend was a bit tubby.
