Funniest Comments of the Week


In a DYW journal titled Bits 'n' Pieces, where she mentions being in trouble with the RIAA for downloading a Britney Spears song from Limewire (even though she already owns the CD):
HylianNinja: Wait wait wait, you own a britney spears cd? My god. I didn't know real people really bought her music, I assumed she just had hype men running around buying them all up.
DoYouWash: I have all of them. And I love them. She freakin' ROCKS.
HylianNinja: It's like finding a unicorn!

In wolfdemon's "the book store" journal:
wolfdemon: I was looking at some comics and this emo, gothic, dressed in leather girl with an evil look on her face walks up next to me, so I grab a comic and act like I'm reading it (to avoid eye contact), what I didn't know it I grabbed "In The End" AKA a yaoi (gay) comic, and the girl said "you like yoai, you're my new best friend"
thh: So what did Raph sound like in person?

In a thread by Sammy about a man getting in jail for having sex with a table:
Floor Demon: The practicalities of this confuse me... Does he use the parasol hole? Is hole size an issue or does he make do with what he finds? Is sexability an issue for him when buying tables? Does he apply something to said hole to make it more accomodating (says it was made of metal, got to get some friction burns with that...)? Thats just assuming the table was on the recieving end.
chips2001: FD, you've thought about this too much. WAY TOO MUCH

In a news story about a teen who was decapitated by a roller coaster while trying to retrieve a hat from a restricted area:
w8in: Looks like he didn't need that hat after all.

In a journal titled 'I only have one oar in the water right now' by Sander:
Sander: I believe in money trees. And dragons. And elves. And leprachauns.
Skade: and good men, and other fantasy creatures.

JoeInterview's Member Feature


This week's interview features CrunchySocks. This interview was conducted by travbowman.

JoeInterview: First off, how did you find YT?

CrunchySocks: Google, of course. I was searching for a new Quiz filled website that wasn't as obnoxiously colorful as whatever website I used, that clearly wasn't awesome enough for me to remember the name of.

JI: What would you say is the biggest reason you keep coming back for more?

CS: I love sloppy seconds. Plus, I've been here for so long it's become an automatic reflex to type youthink.com into the magic URL box. And, I'm not going to lie, I like to talk about myself.. especially since YTers don't exist in my Real Life I can say and do anything PG13 I want to with no repercussions.

I also secretly hope one day Jonathan_C will come back to offer me his virginity.

JI: How would you say that you have changed the most in your almost six years here?

CS: I don't hate myself anymore. It's pretty awesome, actually. I no longer thrive on writing bad poetry and slitting my wrists and whining about how horrible my middle class existence is. (So glad Emo wasn't so prominent back then.) Aside from the ridiculous amount of drunkenness my body endures, I'm finally heading in the right direction.

JI: What's your drink of choice lately?

CS: PBR. Mos def. Richmonders love it and my roommate totally turned me onto it about 6 months ago. A step up from Milwaukee's Best Ice, I'd say. I'm such the Downtown-er now.

JI: What's the best part about living in Richmond?

CS: Besides having awesome friends, I live about a mile from Belle Isle at the James River. The home of Dead Rock. It's a great place to drink your beer, smoke your weed, swim in the river, and if you can filter through all the white trash that goes there, there's a lot of really cool people to meet.

Also Hollywood Cemetery is in my neighborhood, if you're familiar with that.

JI: What are you most looking forward to this summer?

CS: A helluva lot of fun. I'm going to my first Anime Convention which should be pretty intense. Lots of beach trips, random road trips if I get a Honda soon, as many concerts as I can afford, and plenty of drunkenness. Hopefully making a lot of new friends, too. Nothing too out of the ordinary.

JI: What's the best anime out there today?

CS: Couldn't tell you, actually. I'm going for the Hotel Parties and to make out with Beautiful People.

JI: Where do you see yourself in ten years?

CS: I hate this question. I don't even know what my entire day for tomorrow is looking like. But, since you asked.. I'll be 30.. that should be interesting. Hopefully doing something fun in fashion.. maybe in Japan if I don't make any babies by then. Or maybe making babies in Japan. I definitely want my name known, though. And I intend to be ridiculously successful.

But, honestly, I don't know. I just hope I'm still happy.

JI: What's your draw to Japan?

CS: I love the fashion. It's so much more thrilling to me than what's going on in Europe. Or the filth in LA. It's colorful and wild and totally eye popping. And there's something very exotic about Asians.

JI: As a fan of fashion, do you watch Project Runway?

CS: Never seen an episode. All of the competitive reality shows hurt my head. I'd rather be interactive, anyway.

JI: What sort of music is getting the most spin from you lately?

CS: I won't lie.. I bought a Hannah Montana shirt tonight. But, my usual lame answer.. I listen to everything.

Right now I like the uppity stuff. Techno such things. A little bit of angry stuff.. Manson, Disturbed, MSI. Plus the stuff I've always listened to.. Sublime, Eminem, RHCP, anything 90s really. Good and Bad.

And I really wish Flobots were coming close to RVA this summer.. and they're not.

JI: What's the best show you've ever attended?

CS: I honestly haven't been to that many. So, I think I'm going to have to go with Dropkick Murphys at Warped Tour 2004, I think it was. It was my first time being in a pit of people and it was hot and dirty and sweaty and such an adrenaline rush. I loved it. Not to mention the music was great and I almost got hit in the head with someones air born shoe.

JI: So what's the story behind your screenname?

CS: Oh man.. the Crunchysocks? I feel like I haven't told this story in awhile.

But.. you know when you wear your socks a few days in a row but one night you decide you don't want to wear them? So.. you throw them on the floor and then you get up in the morning. You want to put them back on (because you got to private school and you have a required uniform and you can't find your other pair of socks) but... because of the 72 hour accumulation of sweat and dirt and toe fungus.. you're socks are hard. But not that hard.. they're just kind of crunchy. I thought about those times the day I joined YT.

JI: What is your most prized possession, and why?

CS: Eh, I could lose everything tomorrow and I'd survive just fine. To answer the question, though.. I'm going to say my purse.. 'cause its sitting right next to me.

It's fuzzy and black and I've had it for a little over 4 years. It pretty much goes everywhere with me so its seen a lot and been though a lot. Falling in the river, getting set on fire, many a people have used it as a pillow. Plus, it kind of a magic purse.. so when I chose to be homeless for 4 months not too long ago it totally fed me and clothed me and kept me drunk.

JI: What was being homeless like?

CS: Cold. It started around the end of September '06 and ended when my boyfriend and I finally found a place to live in February '07.

It was a lot of fun, though. Mostly we slept in friend's cars. Couches if they had their own place.. but we did our best not to over stay our welcome. And there was one time we squatted in an abondoned daycare for about a week.

It's definitely an experience I won't forget.. Every day was a new and fun adventure.

JI: What are you doing for money these days?

CS: Loving my job. I work with my mom and step dad shipping sinks and sink parts.. I put together binders for various companies, do mailings, keep the warehouse clean. I don't work with food. I don't work with customers. And I don't work past 5 or on the weekends. It's awesome.

JI: Sound like a pretty good job. So what's the best sink to get?

CS: They're all pretty nice sinks. Oliveri. From Australia. My stepdad himself has the 890u, though. With a Grohe faucet and an ISE hot water dispenser.

JI: Sounds classy. So the Anime convention...what are your thoughts on the fans who take it a little too seriously?

CS: Having just returned yesterday, I can tell you first hand that they're all awesome. Even the smelly, overweight nerds who devote way too much of their time, IMO, into their favorite Animes. I had a blast.

JI: Outside of family members, who inspires you the most?

CS: I don't really find inpiration in people, to be completely honest. There's plenty of people I respect and admire because they're strong, unique individuals and I care for them a lot.. but, if I ever feel inpsired its probably by something beautiful in nature. Like sunny days or summer thunder storms make me want to get out there and do something good. And I hope that's the corniest thing I ever write.

JI: What is the most awe-inspiring thing about nature?

CS: Aaaahhh this is getting lamer and cornier. I don't even have an answer without getting oddly sentimental and creatively writing.. and I save that stuff for the graded papers.

JI: Let's finish where we started. What do you imagine Jonathan_C has been up to the last couple of years since he last logged on to YT?

CS: Visiting the library a lot. I'm sure he went to some fancy college for the overly intelligent, possibly for writting or maybe photography. And I hope he found a cute little bookworm girl to give him his first kiss. But, I bet he still has never been drunk.

Where does instability begin?
Excerpt: Mental instability is a thought that scares me more than anything else. At what point does a person become unstable? What is the switch that flips in someone's head that changes that person from sane to insane?
