Well, one of my friends has finally succeeded in convincing me to get a Youtube account.
Actually, what finally got me around to doing it was so I could comment on my cousin's video.
She's auditioning for the role of Louisa in a production of The Sound Of Music, and decided to sing
the song "Frank Mills
" from the musical Hair.
Due to my stunning originality, I made an account under the name "Little Red Serge".
“This happy breed of men, this little world, this precious stone set in a silver’d sea.."How appropriate that dude is named "DJ Earworm."
"Proto-Indo-European makes the damnedest words related. It's great. It's the Kevin Bacon of etymology." ~MadrugadaHaven: That video reminds me of the Evangelion version of Fly me to the Moon.... I'm not quite sure why.

Did you have a fun trip?

Not just for the dead victims either. It's also because of my love for soccer. See, the British soccer team Manchester United was going to go to Indonesia to play an exhibition match with the Indonesian team. Every soccer fan there was excited, of course.
Then the hotel they planned to stay in got bombed. Naturally, they decided to not come to Indonesia and the people had to return the money to those who already bought tickets.
Goddamn bombs.

I don't understand your language. Speak up.Eh. Fast Eddie tricked us into thinking that he was going to delete the fora. You can read about it in Made of Forum Win.

I wouldn't be surprised if "the bomb" is similar.
I'm pretty sure "the bomb" started as a reference to, well, The Bomb. I've never heard someone refer to a category of drug as "the bomb", though I've definitely heard it used to describe particular strains in the slang sense. I could see it having originated in drug culture as a reference to potency.
Edit: Well, I've heard it used as an adjective to describe certain categories of drug. "Cocaine is the bomb" and similar. But that's the slang sense still.

the dice are loaded, the deck is stacked, the game itself will hold you backOn holiday tommorrow. Gonna have to find something else to do. You see, I think I probably do need a holiday, but I'd rather stay here. Last year we went on holiday and when we came back the boiler had leaked all over part of the top floor. This year my bet is on frogs. That's right. We're gonna come home, and bam! Frogs everywhere. I don't like leaving my stuff unattended.
Still looking for someone to take my place for the next few days.

Does this count as pop?
