Random is the new Lame

So I have a shitty job. At least it pays pretty well, considering the job specifications and my qualifications. Thing is, you don't need qualifications to be in this job. You just have to have a sense of direction and know how to use a telephone. A monkey could do this job for bananas.

Lame (or random, the new word for "lame", we'll get to that later) job aside, I'm recently watching an exciting series called "Numb3rs". It's interesting if you are intellectually stimulated by the process in which a college Applied Mathematics professor solves crime using math.

Otherwise you'll just be plain bored.

Does anybody remember when "random" started being used in place of "lame"? I can't really remember but it's not until recently that it has caught momentum and now everybody doing it. I don't know, it just kinda bothers me that nobody really knows where these terms come from. Like "lame", where did that come from? Does anybody remember? Did it replace some other word, like "loser" or a simple "that's not even funny"? And just so you know, the word that replaced "loser" was "noob". Thank the internet for that one.

I now herald the coming of the new word to condescend people when they do something you don't like.

Random is the new Lame.

I just got my pay by the way. It's nice to have one more digit in my balance again.
