Post by: Brentai on October 02, 2009, 12:30:49 PM: Depends on whether he really didn't care or if he was passive-aggressively telling you to stop. A lot of sackless managers will tell you what you've got up on your screen just to let you know that they know what you've got up on your screen, hint, hint.
Title: Re: Band Names
Post by: The Artist Formerly Known As Yoji on October 02, 2009, 01:24:55 PM: I don't think he'd care as long as I don't spend three hours (http://xkcd.com/214/) browsing. He's a pretty laid-back guy and doesn't afraid of anything. That and he sometimes spends a half-hour gushing about his son's latest adventures in computer science, so I think we're even.

Post by: François on December 25, 2009, 06:48:36 AM: Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turbonegro#Band_name
Initially the band had two running ideas for band names: Nazipenis and Turbonegro. They were advised that a band named Nazipenis would never sell records, so they chose Turbonegro as an arguably more consumer-friendly choice.

:facepalm:

Quote from: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nazipenis
Anal Gestapo (sometimes credited as Nazipenis) is a Serbian tribute band to a Norwegian band Turbonegro.
