so when i was back in high school i used to write vb3/4 applications to do your veritable ms powerpoint slideshow presentation, cuz hey what the fuck i did the same thing with tutortech in 4th/5th grade on the apple IIe's, so it wasn't even some "hurr hurr look at me i'm the computer hipster" (please forgive the anachronistic colloquialism there) as i didnt know a damn thing about powerpoint but i'll be extra damned if you're not talking to the guy who made both aophun v1b4 and the forgotten-on-the-internet a031337 applications.
so yeah, having the dude who i got into the childrens-book-reading-war with (PROTIP: i won. heartily.) with his off-the-same-assembly-line friends in the honors chem class he was one of those jr/sr year honors student "zeppelin stoners" who got into growing out their hair some, smoking crappy/ish weed (which eventually they revered us like gods for being able to help them upgrade the paradigm with, amusingly enough), and wearing zeppelin shirts. or well, now that i think about it in his presentation he took a shot with a pre-photoshop of my head on a fat chick in a two piece bikini's body, but i wanted to take the higher road and make a philosophical point and get to the root of the problem.
i used to make slides and all that, but i coded in a little control panel with names on the buttons reflecting the slides. so when i did this presentation i made sure prominently featured at the bottom of my remote control thingy was a "led zeppelin" button that i wouldn't make any sort of reference or gesture to in the least. so i did my presentation on whatever chemistry stuff and took questions, and at the end good ol mr. alperin (or "gar" as we called him. dude was married to the vp of marketing at ameritech, and she was getting him sitting courtside during the jordan years. he was "the dude" accordingly) knew i had to put that there for a reason and he asked "so jim, what's the led zeppelin button for?"
well only because i live to do requests i clicked the button and the volume jumped up an the speakers blared this song out with only one point right to that motherfucker jason when the word "idiots" came upand that was the end of the great media/meta war with jason. suffice to say, i dont know why he wanted any after what i did to him in oral comm class, but hey, i guess some people are gluttons for punishment, are they not?
