Man 1: One of the ideas explored sometimes was to take useful items and somehow corrupt them and make them unusable/impractical and pass it off as art. Anyways, this guy is about 100 years too late with this.
Man 2: Using that logic, we should all stop making art at all because we're all 41,000 years too late with it.

She explains that it’s okay to call white people “crackers” because it’s a term slaves used to describe whites. So using that logic, she shouldn’t be offended if a racist white person calls her the “n” word. After all, that’s how the white slave owners referred to the slaves.
Conversational:
Batman gets his name from a fear of bats. Using that logic, what's your superhero name?

Disaster Us is a punk band from New Jersey with members in Perth Amboy and Freehold. This three piece fucking shreds and releases records on their one label Attic Tan Records. Their style can be described as early 80's British influenced punk/hardcore. Very entertaining energetic, and angry, the band shows no signs of stopping. Fuck you.
