There used to be a lil chinese buffet that was nearby that got shut down cause the health inspector found a head in the fridge.

Pretty WTF worthy itself. Well-played.

Randomly browsing the internet, and found out that the Drew Carey Show had an episode that directly parodied The Sims. Not only is such a direct reference to a specific game rare on television, but I had no idea that the show lasted long enough to exist at the same time.

In the days when Sussman was a novice, Minsky once came to him as he sat hacking at the PDP-6.
“What are you doing?”, asked Minsky. “I am training a randomly wired neural net to play Tic-Tac-Toe” Sussman replied. “Why is the net wired randomly?”, asked Minsky. “I do not want it to have any preconceptions of how to play”, Sussman said.
Minsky then shut his eyes. “Why do you close your eyes?”, Sussman asked his teacher.
“So that the room will be empty.”
At that moment, Sussman was enlightened.

That rollerblading movie with Drew Barrymore taught me that a "head shop" is the American name for a shop that sells bongs.
Or "water pourers" as they're officially called here... >.>

Not just bongs, but all sorts of stereotypical "stoner" merchandice -beaded curtains, incense, homicidal-rage-inducing New Age faux-music, psychedelic posters, etc.

It was a cross-promotion with one of the expansion packs, which had Drew Carey as a cameo.

That makes sense, I just thought that the Drew Carey Show ended in the late 90s a little after Full House did, and I also thought the Sims didn't come out until 2002 or 2003.

Well Drew Carey Show like Full House is one of the few shows that became a zombie.

It actually lasted far longer then most people realize.

A human head, a human foot, and three cats. I never ate there. But it was in the local news.

AND SHIT.
I'm curious as to who would buy faeces alongside the other merchandice. Periphery market, maybe?
