So I was looking at getting a hoodie for work. It's kept pretty cold where I work.

I don't like anything that most shops put out for the general populous...so I decided to look at what was happening online.

I looked at some 4chan pics and looked at the price for designing a hoodie online. It was an Australian company/business (I'm Australian, so it figures) and the price was at ~$80au, too expensive for my ideas....soooooo

Megatokyo store was selling some nice stuff. (Thinkgeek's hoodies didn't have anything I liked the look of). One of the shirts said "I would like a Japanese girlfriend" which I found funny because most customers would be of English or American appearance...well .Jp gals sure are cute, but diplomatically - it's uneven... and there's giant red love heart in the middle of the hoodie.

Kinda multi-lingual the heart - and embarrasing to people who can't understand .JP. pity.

So I opted for the one that reads "b4k4^2" instead. For the geeks who are also nerds; it's fine, but for those who are not I'll explain. b4k4 is netspeak or "l33tsp34k" or "newbspeak" for baka. Baka means "idiot" in .JP and ^2 is a mathematical expression for putting to the power of 2.... maybe this is more complex than I thought.

^2 is x times x. ^3 is x times x times x. simple.

so b4k4^2 refers to the idiot proclaiming himself as one wearing the shirt, and that person reading it - especially if that person doesn't understand.

A very close friend of mine, and co-incidentally my valentine this year said it was very me. <3
