There's a fun game called "NPR host or Star Wars character?"

I don't know about the rest, but Jek Porkins died for the rebellion during the battle of Yavin, everyone who's seen at least the original film should know this.

Im not a major fan but none of those sound like Star Wars characters to me so imma guess: all NPR?

what's the pattern where you say "I'll never do to my kids what my parents did to me" then you do, and they do it their kids? and it just runs in your family for decades

Flashback to when you used to be able to make stuff like this your desktop background, just changing the pattern, color, and if it would fill/tile/stretch etc.

Hm... It says common fabric patterns, so it probably doesn't have that one 90's paper cup pattern. I want to know if that one has a name.

I used to know a person named Jazz, so that works

[–] [email protected] 9 points 10 hours ago (1 children)

Amazing. It has a name that perfectly fits the vibe! :D

[–] [email protected] 2 points 6 hours ago

I feel like that design was used everywhere back in the '90s not just on disposable cups.

I'm fairly sure it was used at the leisure centre I went to at one point. Probably without permission but I'm not sure if you can really copyright blue squiggle on turquoise squiggle.
