ABOUT THIS PROJECT
Hi you guys! Joe Biden and the rest of the gang here! :) We’re looking for some awesome people to help us Kickstart our dream project of having a functioning federal government! That’s where you come in: all we’re asking for is a little help. And twenty trillion dollars.
As you may know, we (the United States government) are a little strapped for cash. Salvage a first-world government’s economy? In
I recently did a teleconference with the country’s only Adult Swim college course, at Kent State University. I signed on to Skype and was greeted by this:
A classroom full of students all wearing ski masks.
They also had a giant party sub and home made skins bar.
And a paper mache…
Labeling the globs of sugar and wax that you market to children as “organic” doesn’t make them not globs of sugar and wax. The first four ingredients, which make up the greater part of the product, are, as a matter of fact, sugar. (Sugar syrup from cassava, aka tapioca; cane sugar; tapioca solids; grape juice concentrate.)
“No icky additives” is patronizing, especially considering that one of the ingredients listed is the ominously vague “Natural Flavors.” You can hide anything under the term “Natural Flavors.” Check this out. This is the actual FDA literature that defines a “natural flavor”:
The term natural flavor or natural flavoring means the essential oil, oleoresin, essence or extractive, protein hydrolysate, distillate, or any product of roasting, heating or enzymolysis, which contains the flavoring constituents derived from a spice, fruit or fruit juice, vegetable or vegetable juice, edible yeast, herb, bark, bud, root, leaf or similar plant material, meat, seafood, poultry, eggs, dairy products, or fermentation products thereof
I would call most of those additives “icky”, if that were a word I used, which I don’t. But then again, I don’t work for a food company that sells sugar bombs with a feel-good earth attitude.
Can you blame them for taking this angle? These four-dollar “organic” packets of sugar are one of the best-selling snack food items on Amazon. (By comparison, 115 grams of table sugar costs $0.44.)
In the 15+ years since I owned a TI-83 graphing calculator, wifi has become ubiquitous, we’ve had four or seven foreign wars (who’s counting?) and telephones have gone from football-sized chunks of plastic with twelve pushbuttons to pocket computers with magical touchscreens.
The TI-83 has remained the same, including the price. It wasn’t so outrageous back in the day, but considering you can get a real laptop for a hundred bucks, $80 is a bit much for this piece of shit calculator that barely plays Space Invaders.
Got mine yesterday!
Got one of JR Goldberg’s framed tiny cat prints, and now I’m feeling pretty cool. Just look it him there amongst my Dave Cooper figures and such.
Check out her store if you want to be as cool as me (maybe ten cools).

I want a Crosbytop!
The Cosbytop. It’s made out of duck tape, card board, and a single sheet of holographic stick on.
It was made by printing out a picture of the cosbytop at a good size, cutting out pieces, and using the holes as a stencil to cut out the duck tape.
This is my first attempt to do a complicated design with duck tape, and the first time I’ve ever used an exacto-knife.Edit: Added another photo.
You’re welcome.
Another video update. I have no intentions what-so-ever to type as Sollux right now so, deal with it. Anyways I got around to making another video and it just so happened to be about sopor slime pies. If he/she didn’t even mean it, kudos to
