Get the Attard mug.A suburb on Sydney's north shore, just south of Chatswood. With its incredibly low crime rate, local school, public transport and varied shopping options, it is considered an excellent place for young couples to raise a family.
The most notorious event in Artarmon's history was the carpark firebombing, on January 1st, 2012. Several cars were destroyed in the resulting fire. Residents, who had never seen anything like it before, were terrified and assisted police and firefighters to return the suburb to its tranquil lifestyle.

"I want a nice place to raise my kids, where we don't have to worry about crime or violence."
"How about Artarmon?"

Get the Artarmon mug.A native subspecies of meta-human that inhabits the northwestern-most point on Antarctica. Antarctigons typically use walruses for their primary mode of transportation; however, it is a known fact that they harvest baby beluga whales specifically to travel undersea to the ancient city of Antarctigonia.
Once considered the mightiest of all meta-humans (although Atlanteans tend to highly disagree), an unfortunate accident caused scientist Flargalad Beenstrayazisman to be bitten by a radioactive spider and sparked a de-evolution which spread through the rest of the population, forcing the Antarctigonians to migrate to the surface.

"I can hold my breath for 1 hour; I think it's because of the blood from my ancestors, the Antarctigons."

Get the antarctic surfing mug.The best off-broadway show there is. It is about a religious boy band group of five guys from a small town in Ohio. It makes fun of boy bands and religion without offending anyone.

Get the Altar Boyz mug.The Home Computer, aka Personal Computer, of the late 1970s. Notable models were the 400, 800, and 800XL. The 1200XL actually came out before the 800XL and was a joke. The 65XE was simply an 800XL made over to resemble a Commodore 64. All of these models included a game cartridge slot that was compatible with the then-current Atari game cartridges.
The 800XL came with 64k of RAM. Most users wondered what we would ever do with that much memory. An external 5.5 inch floppy disk or cassette deck drive was optional.
The entire computer was built into the keyboard. Atari computers generally used an external converter that reproduced both video and audio through a television.
Atari computers rapidly lost market share in the 1980s due to Atari's preoccupation with video games and game consoles so that when Atari employees Steve Jobs and Steve Wozniak developed the first Apple computer, they had to start their own company to produce it.
Atari was the Home Computer to have until the Apple came out.
As was standard for the era of Atari's golden age, their computers only had rudimentary operating systems, so most operating instructions were written into each software application.
Their primary competitor, Commodore, entered the market late, with a Home Computer that wasn't good for much besides games and greeting cards, even though Atari was still better at those tasks due to better color and sound support. For a time, more Commodores were sold than Ataris due to better marketing. Other players in that era included the Timex/Sinclair and the TI 99/A.
Atari eventually developed IBM-compatible PCs in the late 1980s, but it was too little, and far too late.
