apple has style

Smart, Subtle, and Shiny
I thought that ThinkGeek had cool geek stuff, and they still do, and since I’ve run Linux in the past, I justified buying a ‘Chicks Dig Unix‘ shirt.

However, I just discovered The Apple Stuff Store and every ounce of poser in my body wants that unjustifiable original Apple Lapel Pin.

  1. Why, I think I might, Steve!

    I seem to have a horrible curse for being misinterpreted when I speak. Leading me to be a quiet person unless I know the people I’m talking with don’t assume I’m some kind of pervert.

    This being said, I thought I would wear my ‘Chicks Dig Unix’ shirt to high school. Now. I was approached by a fellow anonymous schoolmate, she stopped, looked at my shirt puzzled, thought about it for a minute, then looked back at me with a disgusted look on her face and said something to the extent of, “Your shirt is disgusting, and spelled wrong” and walked off.

    I looked at my shirt puzzled, and then realized she must have thought it ment “Chicks Dig Eunuchs”.

    Curse this curse! I once asked somebody, “What’s up?”, and they said, “You’re sick, Rob”.

    Now that I think about it, most people to whom I mention this website will say, “Gross”, then I say, “Volition, not Violation” and they say, “Ahh”, but still seem to suspect a porn connection (possibly because they don’t know what it means?).

    This even happens in ICQ which puzzles me because I always type volition carefully. We totally should have named this site Dogs and Cats.

    I almost never use the expression “Did you have a hard time” anymore. I actually got smacked once for saying that.

  2. Rob, I can sense your affinity for pr0n in that post itself… You have a problem. Face up and deal with it.

    Sick freak…

    Why don’t you tell everyone about your Irish Sandwich… FREAK!!!!

    This is not a joke… Not at all….

  3. I respectfully choose not to mention the Irish Sandwich as I think there are readers younger than 19.

    In related news, when I was in Montréal last weekend, I enjoyed a carton of Québon Chicken-Milk to your health.

    (if I could find Jevon’s comment on inside jokes in AOV replies, I’d link to it.)

  4. I suggest the ‘got root’ shirt and/or mug, much more clever…

    The one thing I will definately be getting at thinkgeek.com is a pack of thumbscrews for the next comp I buy.

  5. Correct me if I’m wrong, Burkas, but isn’t “Root” is a slang term for a female specific body part in the lands down under? I seem to recall an amusing conversation about Canadians wearing ‘Roots’ sweatshirts down there.

    I’m not falling for that one.

  6. Root was actually an Aussie slang term – Roots sweaters didn’t quite have the same ring in NZ.
