So, what backs the value of South Carolina currency?

I mean, idiocy and racism are far too common to be of value...so what else does South Carolina produce?

STDs

Roscoe said...

.. Peanuts? Hilton Head Tourist tchotckes?

Andrew said...

Holy crap, have they outlawed condoms in SC?

_J_ said...

Jesus didn't need condoms. Why ought South Carolinians?

Caleb said...

Abstinence is the only 100% effective measure one can take.

Andrew said...

I see your point caleb. Since SC is a land of absolutes, abstinence is the only option that exists.

What backs the US Dollar?

Magic.

Roscoe said...

... Why can't we back some South Carolinian sex ed programs w/ that magic?

Caleb said...

The same magic that backs the Bitcoin.

What the fuck happen to Kotaku's page layout?

Roscoe said...

The great gawker blog shift.

The argument behind it? vaguely reasoned, to avoid story churn and burying important posts under daily stories.

In practice? Fucking awkward.

Did you not read Tycho's post or the comic? It explains my feelings adequately.

J doesn't read. J has lesser men do that for him.

We're just lucky J hasn't castigated us for not doing his reading.

Mikey.. you know if that works for all the Gawker stuff?

Mike Lewis said...

it does. magic of full text rss feeds that they don't post on their website, except one lifehacker post.

Roscoe said...

man, I love magic.

Why the fuck did I decide to go fighter?

_J_ said...

I read Tycho's post. Then I went to Kotaku. Then I never went to Kotaku ever again.

Unknown said...

If only I could have read Tycho's post before I had ventured to Kotaku. It could have prepared me. I might've known....

Roscoe said...

You'd have gone anyway, like J. Dark Arts succeed by virtue of curiosity.

"What could be so bad?"

"MY EEEEEEEYYYYYYYES."
