That is pretty cool, but I'm not sure it's $700 cool.

I've been wanting to find a cheap small MIDI controller and take it out of the case and mangle it into a keytar...

[Billy's Little Trip]

I'm sold. Just look how much fun this girl is having.

[HeuristicsInc]

I wonder if her name is Nevada.

[Billy's Little Trip]

I don't get it.

[JonPorobil]

I don't get it.

Aww, a random reminder that Billy's Little Trip wasn't, in fact, already here when we moved in.

Anyway, Bill, what resolution are you running? It looks fine on my machine.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Please, call me BLT, good sir. I still don't get it. But it has to do with nerds and Nevada to the best of my recollection.
...by the way, I think this is the first time I've ever typed recollection.


...also, I heart nerds, so don't think I don't. :fingers in a heart:

[HeuristicsInc]

yeah, looks fine, i was just making a lil' joke for the oldtimers.

And it was a good one.

I just couldn't think of a way to make it rhyme for the Hannah Montana parody.

Carlotta Nevada?

I, too, thought it was a complaint about the image size.

[Spud]

I'm pretty sure it was, fluffy.

[HeuristicsInc]

wow, this doesn't go away... it was a joke referring to image size. not actually a complaint.
-bill

[Spud]

I didn't think it was a SERIOUS complaint, bill.

[Billy's Little Trip]

I'm still don't get it.

It involves history.

As funny as it is to keep certain people in the dark, it's a pretty important bit of shared culture so I'd might as well explain.

Long, long ago on a forum far, far away, there was a very heated debate over the merit of art or something of the sort, and it got pretty intense and so someone (I think Jefff) posted a gigantic picture of scenic Nevada to calm everyone down and otherwise disrupt the thread, since at the time, giant images also screwed up the formatting and made it harder to keep reading posts.

Ever since then, to "nevada" a thread is to post a gigantic picture in it, either accidentally or with the intent of making it harder to read.

[Billy's Little Trip]

Thank you, fluf.

See, now was that so hard you assholes?!

And by assholes, I mean..........



There, I Uranused this thread.
