Gotta love that 13% interest rate on yearly student loans!
When I did the online calculations, the interest added an extra 13k to my loan :D Yay!

Edit: The "default" repayment plans are for ten years (114/120 months) if that gives any ideas...

But we're getting off topic, here.

Despite bringing my Grandfather to the show, he still says Al is a lazy artist. But he's old. I don't think he knows about his originals. He says he only remembers Eat It, anyway.
But I think after watching the show, he started to respect him a bit more (but he still thinks he's lazy in the song writing category. But he applauds him mobility and performance!)

"Good ol' Al might be weird, but the bro ain't stupid."

:huh: As if to imply weirdness and stupidity are directly correlated?
I think the author of that article was trying to be clever, but that attempt failed miserably.

Most of the comments I've seen are those who don't know when the parody was made, so they end up saying "AL IS STUPID HE MADE A PARODY AFTER MICHAEL JACKSON DYED!" or "CURT COBAIN IS DED SO TIS SON IZ STUPID BECUZ HE PARODING ARTIS TAT IS DED I WIL NEVA TRUZT WEERD AI"

Sometimes used as a cry of victory. Usually used ironically.

This is not ignorant but, I heard Al started high school at age 12. When did he start K and also elementary school?

Al skipped a couple of grades during his elementary school years IIRC. I assume he started school when every other kid does.

My mother asked me where I got my Mandatory Fun shirt because "He committed suicide, like, five years ago".

Did I see a ghost??? :rolleyes: She likes to make up stories to sound " in", but a lot if them are.... Well, you know.
