Xcerpt from film "The Blob (1988)". Everything has built up to this. Will we ever be this Kewl again?

When I was out smoking dressed as Venom Snake 3 separate people approached me to say how cool/sexy I looked. Pretty sure it was mostly the scars and eyepatch, but good lil egoboost that day.

I thought that said "Kew!" and expected XD Falcons and orange trams.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kew,_Victoria
"Because keyboards are accessories to PC makers, they focus on minimizing the manufacturing costs. But that’s incorrect. It’s in HHKB’s slogan, but when America’s cowboys were in the middle of a trip and their horse died, they would leave the horse there. But even if they were in the middle of a desert, they would take their saddle with them. The horse was a consumable good, but the saddle was an interface that their bodies had gotten used to. In the same vein, PCs are consumable goods, while keyboards are important interfaces." - Eiiti Wada

(...)Whereas back then I wrote about the tyranny of the majority, today I'd combine that with the tyranny of the minorities. These days, you have to be careful of both. They both want to control you. The first group, by making you do the same thing over and over again. The second group is indicated by the letters I get from the Vassar girls who want me to put more women's lib in The Martian Chronicles, or from blacks who want more black people in Dandelion Wine.
I say to both bunches, Whether you're a majority or minority, bug off! To hell with anybody who wants to tell me what to write. Their society breaks down into subsections of minorities who then, in effect, burn books by banning them. All this political correctness that's rampant on campuses is b.s.

Only the ones with special culture. Everyone else has moved onto rebadged euro cars or overpriced, under featured Japanese 4x4s. Oh wait that is the top half of Straya.

That's your textbook definition of a mullet but they come in all flavors. He had to add the 80s flare of getting it permed. I believe as long as your hair is much longer in the back than compared to the sides and front than that classifies it as a mullet.
