As part of our neverending attempt to provide a thin veneer of culture over this otherwise lunkheaded enterprise, the Vitamin B Glandular Show is moderately pleased to bring you a new segment, Culture for Internet Subcultures. Today, we bring you an excerpt from James Joyce's classic novel Ulysses translated entirely into l33tsp33k. I think you'll find that Joyce's rich, enveloping prose style takes on a new significance when translated into a language used by Mountain Dew-chugging, outside light-eschewing hax0rs.
