What's all this Pimp stuff about?
(Category: Miscellaneous )

A couple of people have asked just what the hell this Pimp My Ride stuff is about so I shall endeavor to elucidate.

MTV has a show called Pimp My Ride where they take peoples' nasty old beater cars and Pimp them. That's where they fix all the garbage that's wrong with them, tune the engine to sound like an egg beater, drop them so low they can't take a residential speed bump and put enough chrome on them to blind Stevie Wonder (oops!).

Way back in December of 2003 I had a one sentence post that linked to a flash game that let you take a virtual car through a virtual pimpin experience. That post started being found by searches for "Pimp My Ride" (or rather "pimp my ride" as none of these retards uses their shift key). They left comments asking for me to pimp their cars. I tried replying that this site has absolutely nothing to do with the MTV show. That post and the comments allow absolutely no opportunity for any rational or even semi-intelligent person to confuse this site for the MTV site.

But they kept coming. After a half dozen or so of these simps had commented I decided to screw with them. So now when somebody comments there I send them emails to mess with them, pretending to be the host of the show. My general purpose is to amuse myself, my secondary goal is to get them to send me pictures of themselves holding signs about my website.

That original post has never been changed. The people commenting really are morons who need to be taken advantage of. You can see the whole shebang (in reverse chronological order) here.

i was wondering what all that mess was, and now that i know the backstory, i applaud your decision, it's hilarious.

now if i could only find that 'shift' key...

"can't take a residential speed bump". Please furnish us unsuspecting readers with a warning before writing something like this. Something at the top of the post, like, "put your coffee down before reading". You almost got me pretty good there. I just managed to supress the laugh/spit reflex.

Ok now it all makes sense. So can you pimp up my car now?

BTW any news on the job hunting?

Sure, I'll pimp it up for you. Have it shipped to the address on my resume.

The job hunting goes extraordinarily poorly. Whoever said no news is good news was a fucking moron.
