"free np": WTF?

Post by jajjguy » Tue Aug 24, 2004 6:30 pm

i've been seeing this written on cars and stuff lately. "free np." i did a web search and all i could turn up was some silly online game thing called neopets, and they earn and trade neopoints, or "np". is that really what the fuss is about? and if so, then for god sakes why?

"NP" is an internet abbreviation for "Now Playing," and the "free" part means that what they're listening to is "All Right Now" by '70's rock act Free. With the bass breakdown and the claves and everything.

I'm sure it's something like Free Mumia, you know?

"Free Norman Peltier", ha ha.
