Wheelchairs are too mainstream... all the cool cripples hire strongmen to carry them around.

It turns out that Hipster Blvd is so hipster that it isn't actually a boulevard at all! All of the hippest eateries can be found in the middle of lakes and rivers.

Fedoras stopped being cool in 1957. You can wear one, I guess, if you want everybody to think you're bald.

Where else can you get an artisanal grilled cheese sandwich for a mere $7.50? ($10 if you add in a PBR.) No bitcoins

Also rivers are so last week. Everyone knows isthmuses are the coming thing.

Isthmuses? Sure, they're a coming thing...if you're a time traveler from 2012, I guess. All the happening new establishments are on active lava flows to ensure they never have time to get stale.

If that doesn't work, we'll just round up every hipster and drop them into a volcano from an airplane.

You could probably set up an archive by saving all the pages or if you're so inclined, you could just take a screenshot of each page.

Both methods are pretty tedious though.[/quote]
Archiving? Tedious? Antitruth!

Code: Select all

npages=17 ; seq -f'https://www.roundstable.com/forums/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=3712&start=%g' 0 40 $(expr 40 \* \( $npages - 1 \) ) | xargs wget -EHkKNp

(No guarantees of success. Not all links will convert cleanly. Will use default colour scheme, etc. To archive the thread as it gets longer, increase $npages from 17.)

^ - You know, "Love Matic Grandpa" is a parody of a 1960s show called "My Mother the Car". One of the writers on that show was James L. Brooks, who went on to co-create the Simpsons with Matt Groening.

Grabbing a single page is much more pleasant:

Code: Select all

wget -EHkKNp <URL>

I wonder if there's a way to get wget to follow links with certain GET parameters? Then you could avoid the seq bollocks.

Wait...it was based on a real show? All this time, I thought it was spoofing fantasy sitcoms like Bewitched and I Dream Of Jeannie by making the most ridiculous concept ever. So, it was a car rather then a bar machine and it was the guy's mother....was it as cheesy as The Simpsons version?

mochabean · Post by **mochabean** (?) » Wed Oct 23, 2013 5:49 am

Cheesier - and The Love-Matic Grandpa was better written.

Every time The Love-Matic Grandpa posts something, the theme song starts playing in my head.

Aramek · Post by **Aramek** (?) » Wed Oct 23, 2013 9:08 am

Every Aquaman is great. I mean, it isn't like every other character from that show was cornball and useless compared to every other incarnation.

Plus Aquaman is super badass and super strong and pretty invincible, because he's the king of the ocean and his invincible skin can support the tons and tons of water pressure easily, which is why he's all bulletproof on land and stuff. Plus, he can force his psychic will into the creatures of the sea and command them to do his bidding. He's just a nice guy who *asks* nicely so he doesn't have to force them.
