	3:13am Like I'm Like Like: I mean, you know, that I STAND corrected, huh...
	3:15am Like I'm Like Like: It's so, like, cool, that since the nuc-u-lar war never, like, happened, that all we really have to, like, worry about, is, like, pussy.

'Kay? I could do a, like, radio show, I think. Dude! I totally could! Like, for sure, you know? But maybe it's too hard, like. I wouldn't want, like, too much of a, like, challenge, you know?
	3:51am djarnis: WHAT DO YOU DO WHEN YOU SEE A CROCODILE?? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2PQH741svy4
	3:52am Peter: If you want a radio show you should start with, like, a local college station.

	4:48am Pieter: I remember from like 94 to 97 or something was the weirdest fashion change I ever experienced. In 94 all girls were saying pink was the ugliest color ever, which they would never wear, a few years later they were all wearing tight salmon pink pants ...
	4:51am djarnis: im tellin ya .. all the girls in copenhagen atm are wearing salmon coloured stuff .. or "Coral" as its called.
	5:07am Joshua K: need some chanting buddhist monks
	5:09am Pieter: I remember the 90's actually here as being when you were labeled based on musical interest and clothing linked to it. with alternative, grunge and rock on one hand and house / hardcore (and the here associated "Johnny & Marina" subculture associated to it) on the other.
	5:32am Pieter: from what I've heard in mathematics it's said that you peak around 27, after that it's very hard to have a real genius creative idea.
	5:33am owen: apparently certain people are really sensitive to a particular chemical in broccolli that most people cant taste which makes it really bitter. i spent most of the 90's listening to my parents mock my brother for not liking broccolli only to recently see them contrite and apologetic when it became apparent that it wasnt just him being picky about vegetables.
	6:55pm Elio from Chicago: Great show. It was fun to hear 80's fads from the perspective of East and West coast kids. When your growing up, you don't even imagine kids outside of your town. (Except the ones on TV)
