Emily Armstrong

Emily Marcia Armstrong is an American singer and guitarist. She is the co-founder of Dead Sara and became the lead singer of Linkin Park when the band regrouped in September 2024, seven years after the death of their long-time lead vocalist Chester Bennington.

Initially known as Epiphany, Dead Sara's first gig was at the Los Angeles nightclub The Mint in March 2005. In addition to singing, Armstrong played the bass. As a songwriter, Armstrong was significantly influenced by folk rock. Armstrong received significant attention as a singer before Dead Sara's debut was released. Noting her "strong, urgent sound", Grace Slick said Armstrong was a singer she admired and Courtney Love brought Armstrong to New York to sing on Hole's 2010 album, Nobody's Daughter. Prior to joining Linkin Park, she recorded and/or performed live with artists including the Offspring, Beck, Demi Lovato, Awolnation, and Robby Krieger of the Doors.

On September 5, 2024, at the start of a livestreamed Linkin Park concert, Armstrong was introduced as the band's new co-lead vocalist. The livestream began with a performance of "The Emptiness Machine", the lead single of the group's album From Zero. Linkin Park's first public show with Armstrong took place on September 11, 2024 in Los Angeles. In a review in Los Angeles Times, Steve Appleford wrote: "Like Bennington, Armstrong is as capable with rich melodies as throat-ripping vocals, which fit naturally in the established Linkin Park sound."
Person 1: Yo dude, have you seen Linkin Park’s new singer, Emily Armstrong?
Person 2: Isn’t she a Scientologist?
Person 1: Bro. Em is openly gay (Scientology is extremely homophobic), has said that she had a therapist (Scientology rejects psychology as a medical practice) and many of Dead Sara’s lyrics suggesting opposition and rejection of the teachings of Scientology. Also, do you think that Mike Shinoda would let a Scientologist into Linkin Park?

abandonware 

n. software that is no longer sold or supported by the original publisher / developer, often found as free downloads on the internet because it cannot be obtained elsewhere. Not legal, but often seen as morally acceptable because the company that made it is no longer selling the title, nor releasing it as freeware, therefore abandonware is "keeping the game alive", so to speak.
Doom II is not abandonware because id still sells it, while The Incredible Machine is not sold, therefore is abandonware.

Foot prisons 

Socks. Annoying, sweat-causing, non-barefoot enducing, everyday socks.
The first thing I do when I take off my shoes, is rip off the foot prisons I had to wear inside them. That's why I prefer flip flops, even in winter!

Ruler of Lake Titicaca. Rumored to have a bunghole that gets very angry if it does not receive toilet paper. Cornholio the Great is often seen walking around with his shirt over his head and his hands in the air, chanting songs about his power, and his bunghole.
"I am Cornholio! You do not want to face the wrath of my bunghole, for I need TP!"
Butthead: Shut up, Beavis! (uh huh huh huh)
Beavis: Um, okay. (heh heh heh heh).
