<victrola> CHIEF
<TheSpaceCowboy> please stop calling me chief
<victrola> what’s that, chief?
<TheSpaceCowboy> i hope somebody sets fire to your house
<victrola> maybe you can get your friends to sing and dance to summon down da rain to put it out
<TheSpaceCowboy> or we can watch purple rain and eat popcorn
<victrola> prince in his heyday
<victrola> (trick statement – prince never had a heyday)
<TheSpaceCowboy> id say purple rain was his heydey
<TheSpaceCowboy> and it ended around under the cherry moon
<mrjihad> hi im on your team
<victrola> it was an inspired choice to become symbol though
<victrola> more for the “wtf how do i write this” than “wow what an inspired choice”
<victrola> i bet the dmv loved him for that
<TheSpaceCowboy> im sure prince is rich enough to where he doesn’t need to drive
<victrola> that caused a massive cost blowout because their computer systems couldn’t handle non-ascii characters
<victrola> which caused the economy to falter
<victrola> so, in summation, prince is an idiot
<mrjihad> uh
<TheSpaceCowboy> i actually like purple rain, mainly because morris day and the time are awesome
<mrjihad> I think he actually had to provide an ascii equivalent
<mrjihad> or a normal representation
<victrola> what, ‘symbol’
<TheSpaceCowboy> the artist
<victrola> prince’s ego wouldn’t have allowed him to do that
<victrola> he would have had to hire someone to write it down for him
<mrjihad> yeah
<mrjihad> but I mean they arent going to put prince’s symbol in ascii because that would be retarded
<victrola> think of it – a standard that has lasted for years has to be amended all because a pretensious rock star changed his name for more fame
<TheSpaceCowboy> well this was the 80s/90s
<mrjihad> uh
<TheSpaceCowboy> did the dmv have computerized records then
<mrjihad> it doesnt have to
<mrjihad> its not in ascii
<victrola> ah, those pesky us government types
