A Moment Of Clarity

The shittiest metal core band in Massachusetts. Band members consisting of Vibhor Sharma as vocalist, Peter as guitarist, Kevin Landers as bassist and main fatass, JV as second guitarist, and Conor Deer as drums. With cheesy tag line "Girl you DTF?" this band screams immature, literally! The band was formed in 2010. Their first song released on Myspace was titled 'Places Where You Shouldn't Get Poison Ivy'. The band somehow manages to book many shows across New England. Even though defeat and cancellations have been faced because venue owners don't want "goth faggots" playing, AMOC finds a way. If you do see them live, prepare to be let down. Their songs on Myspace are so auto tuned that they sound nothing like represented. Also expect to be insulted and in tears for lack of better music.
Person A: Yo man, want to hit up a concert tonight?
Person B: Hell yeah, dude! Let's see whose playing at the Wonderland Ballroom tonight.
Person C: Guys, NO! I heard A Moment Of Clarity was playing there tonight. Remember what happened when we saw them live last time?
Person A: Fuck no let's go somewhere else, they're terrible.
Person B: Yeah! Let's go to a concert with a GOOD band.

I'd just like to interject for a moment 

A classic copy-pasta often attributed to rms but contains parts that he denied being from him. It's best used whenever you see a debate over the correct format of Linux and GNU/Linux.

I'd just like to interject for a moment. What you're referring to as Linux,
is in fact, GNU/Linux, or as I've recently taken to calling it, GNU plus Linux.
Linux is not an operating system unto itself, but rather another free component
of a fully functioning GNU system made useful by the GNU corelibs, shell
utilities and vital system components comprising a full OS as defined by POSIX.

Many computer users run a modified version of the GNU system every day,
without realizing it. Through a peculiar turn of events, the version of GNU
which is widely used today is often called "Linux", and many of its users are
not aware that it is basically the GNU system, developed by the GNU Project.

There really is a Linux, and these people are using it, but it is just a
part of the system they use. Linux is the kernel: the program in the system
that allocates the machine's resources to the other programs that you run.
The kernel is an essential part of an operating system, but useless by itself;
it can only function in the context of a complete operating system. Linux is
normally used in combination with the GNU operating system: the whole system
is basically GNU with Linux added, or GNU/Linux. All the so-called "Linux"
distributions are really distributions of GNU/Linux.

Word of the Day on October 4, 2026
British slang for a scientist or technical expert, esp . when the speaker is not certain of the expert’s specific field of study. Not necessarily derogatory, but typically used by persons without a technical background. In the US, the equivalent would be “egghead”, “squint”, or “geek.”

Origin of the word is unknown. Started sometime in World War 2. Given the typical evolution of British slang, could easily have started because what these experts did was confusing or “baffling” to the common person.
According to the boffins downstairs, the murderer used a serrated blade.

Pee Calculus

When you have to pee in a movie but don’t want to miss anything, and must do the following mental equation: will the amount I have to pee cause enough discomfort to diminish my attention capacity for the remainder of the movie to an extent which is greater than the amount of the movie I would miss by making a mad dash to the restroom.
I saw Satantango last night, wonderful film but by the 5th hour I had to start doing pee calculus.
