Correction: The only iPod-specific accessories that should exist are stereos and those 2 piece hard plastic cases that protect everything but the controls. I have one of those cases on my 2 gig Nano from 2006 and it still looks like new. (The case is all scratched up from being in my pocket, but that's easily solved with some car polishing compound. But, as long as the screen area isn't scratched to the point where you can't read the screen at all, what does it matter?

Scrambled Egg Machine · « **Reply #201 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 12:41 »

How about AK-47s, IEDs, and RPG-7s. None of those things should exist.

Verergoca · « **Reply #202 on:** 18 Mar 2009, 12:55 »

Eh, if they didnt exist, humanity would probably fall back onto the much more civilized Sharp Pointy Stick...

What about this one?

Not only does it keep the iPod from getting scratched up, the case itself never gets scratched up either and it looks incredibly awesome.

Old rubber bands. Those that lost all stretch and usefulness and are just very dirty and awful. Those should not exist.

Things that should not exist: time differences. It pisses me off that I cannot talk to my girlfriend when it is convenient for both of us. Either I'm waking her up or I'm keeping her from going to bed, and so I would rather inconvenience myself, but goddddddfiosmemgsioemrg it is frustrating.

I was at this pub last night, and there was the gorgeous woman. We started talking talking about our shared love for Barry White. Everything was going great until she asked for my name and phone number. "I'd like to continue this conversation with dinner and a bottle of wine at my place sometime," indeed. Try to steal my identity will she!

Honestly, though, the worst you're going to get is junk mail and telemarketing calls.

The internet as is

But, of course, if these things didn't exist, then my earlier fear that we might all disappear when it was posted might come true. po

Well, still, be careful. One of you is going to will sex out of existence. Trust me, none of us want that. At the very least, all we'd have to talk about then are our bowel movements.

Vent on the inanimate only, please. Let politics and biological functions get their own threads. Like, almost every other freaking thread on the forum.

self help books.

You should either try and help yourself, or help your friends, you should not simply give money to some perma-tanned, teeth whitened, manipulative gitwizard who claims that you can get ahead in life through lying your way to the top.

On the same note "dating" books, partially for me because they take away any mystery and rommance about the whole thing, and partially because there is just something wrong about them, its like they are the Great Old Ones of the literature world.
