dammit, i knew I wasn't stupid
So we're in Corvallis the other day, and I was talking to some kids there who are graduating from OSU. I was talking about all the delapidated houses I saw on the roadsides, and every time I said delapiDated, they'd interrupt me and say delapiTATED. OSU kids don't know shit. It's really been bothering me. I was thinking, man I know I wasn't so drunk I wasn't speaking English anymore! I know my words dammit! So here you go:

Might be a pissy and small thing to fight about, but seriously, I had three people chime in on me interrupting my little story and say delapiTATED like I was a goddamn retard. What are they teaching kids in college these days?
