Have you ever noticed that every time they show someone writing lyrics down in a book either in a TV show or a movie that they are writing it with a sharpie marker? This is unbelievable bullshit. Have you ever tried to write anything useful with a sharpie that wasn’t graffiti or a incoherent label on a disc, no of course not. If you did actually try to write a book full of lyrics with one you’d notice you don’t know what the fuck the first page says and everything after that is just smudged shit.

This makes me question if there is some kind of Mason-like underbelly, a conspiracy with sharpie and mainstream media. Ask yourselves, ask a friend, write a letter to sharpie and ask those whores because someone is lying to us all.

Here I am, sitting at my computer, attempting to retrace my horribly drunken steps from last night, and it has just hit me… George Lucas is, in fact, the devil! Now, you may be asking yourself what one has to do with the other. Well, allow me to explain..

Last night, in a drunken haze Rashid, Catherine, and I decide that it’s time to boot up the ol’ emulator and whoop up on some NES.
Good plan so far
Then we start reminiscing about the games of our youth
uhhh ohhh
And what do we decide must be played??? Only the most sick, twisted, evil, masochistic game of all time

STAR WARS

Now, I don’t know if you’ve ever played this particular game, but let me tell you IT IS HARD! So after 20 mins of going at this we decide correctly that it is just not possible to play fair and square, not with the NES deck stacked so clearly against us. So Cat fires up the lappy and gets us some game genie codes. PERFECT! How can we fail?!!! HA
Fast forward a few hours and after many a death defying leap, spine tingling shoot out, and game genie ass-saving, we come to the famous trash compactor scene. As we jump and jump narrowly avoiding death there’s a hideous beast popping out of the muck water below, and blast as we might, the thing just will not die!! Another hour goes by and Cat decides she’s had enough and pulls out a walkthrough thank you gamefaqs and to the shock and horror of us all, she finds that in order to defeat this beast you need to get the lightsaber from Obi-Wan in the FIRST STAGE!!!!!!!!!! Sobbing, crying, pain and finger pointing all ensue, but we ban together under the notion that NES is evil and really enjoys the suffering of all mankind.
Looking to put this all behind us, we decide Rashid needs to see the Star Wars Robot Chicken special, so we head to youtube and THIS is what we find

I HATE EVERYONE!! especially george lucas
