I'd wear this ironically at my job (we use metric for everything)

I've said it before and I'll say it a thousand more times: if George Washington was an NPC in Fallout the title over his health bar would be "Slaver" and I would laugh when I make his head explode in slow motion.

Lot of these folks go in that rebellious teen phase except they never leave and become even more insufferable

9,091 Big Macs or 1,000 M16A4 rifles is a "kilometer"

[–] sexywheat@hexbear.net 8 points 2 weeks ago
