Oh boy, ILX! That's where I'm a viking!..?

"horn" in "drinking horn" is actually an acronym - the full phrase is "drinking hell of rum nuts"

increasingly the A people are sounding like creationists who are just so shocked at how unwilling the scientific community is to take their theories seriously

ONE EYED TROUSER WORM

Just curious, to the people that think a literal interpretation of the joke is implausible or lacks humor, what do you think of the "My cat's breath smells like cat food" line?

it's never been one of my favorite ralph lines

"I bent my wookie", OTOH...

BTW, wookiee should have two e's.

My cat's breath smells like cat food is an ontologically nuanced statement. Essentially, everything eaten by a cat is 'cat food' and so there is actually no way Ralph could be lying in the construction of this assertion. Had the cat eaten pee, bullets, turkey gravy, an apple, Eleanor Roosevelt... and smelled of any of those things, Ralph would be irrefutably truthful.

can cats eat Eleanor Roosevelt? I don't think she'd be having any of it.

xp

I agree- anyone that tries to limit what can be considered as smelling of 'cat food' is an enemy to free thought.

my cat's bræth smells like cat fjord

is there anything in the world, then, that doesn't smell like cat food?

Friskies

viking food

I always just assumed cat food was slang for a really awesome scent, akin to bee's knees. Mmmm mom this meal is straight cat food! You're the best!

your mom smells like cat food

thanks!

given a sufficiently motivated cat that can work a food processor, that is true

is there anything in the world, then, that doesn't smell like cat food?

Well, theoretically speaking, nothing really smells like cat food (except things created, labeled, packaged, or intended as Cat Food) until they've been eaten by the cat.

1000 fucking posts in this bitch

an unending ring of cat

a la human caterpillar.

argh nooooooooooooo

a-yo waiting for my paycheck

cat gets ringworm, ralphs

dyao, dyao

dyalight come and me wan go hoooooom

Of course there are. But Granny Dainger's argument was that because Ralph put the emphasis on the word "Viking" and not the word "I'm", that would automatically be a proof against the "Viking of sleep" interpretation. And I just wanted to point out that it isn't necessarily so: there are many ways to interpret Ralph's emphasis.

If it were option (a)/"excels", he would've accented "That's", surely

The "trickster" with a hardon for fire!

RAGNAROK!

Oh, so this thing is still going on, huh?

ha not until you just posted

i almost want to count and see what percentage of those thousand posts are people going "800 posts!" or "i can't believe you guys are still posting!"

V few of them iirc.

Flush this question out

Don't misread my tone! I wasn't expressing dismay. I love that it's still going, tho I find it kinda suspicious that the evil option A people have all tried to divert our attention with their Cthulhu nonsense. Did you know that were it not for the Option A'ers, ILX would have won World War I?

yes. who was ilx fighting in WWI again?

The vikings.

think you mean the excels ats

Fuckin' biplanes all with wigglepuppies on 'em.

do this & send the receipts for the dinner you take your family out to tonight to me

run up a huge bar tab while you're at it, drink like a viking

uh the phrase is "The Bar? That's where I'm a Viking!" actually

run up a huge bar tab while you're at it, drink like a viking

dude you don't know what you're dealing with here

right or wrong, granny danger always comes across like a humongous cock

no one cares

I've read just about every post imaginable in this thread. I stayed up without sleep last night, even avoiding showers or going to work. I missed my band's gig tonight so I could take more time to ponder. I turned down three opportunities at hot under the covers action so I could wrap my head around it. I then ingested some of the most highly illegal drugs known to mankind, and a little gasoline.

And I still have no idea what the fuck dyao is talking about. Answer B, stop listening to Pink Floyd and smoking up so much. Next you'll be telling me Everybody Poops is an anarchist screed about bucking conformity.

But Ralph is like the guy from Memento, he can't remember anything that happened more than 10 seconds ago, now he's onto something new, taking a nap. And like everything else, he's exuberant: Naps are great. In naps you get to be a viking excel at something.

fixed. BTW, I know we're long past actually discussing this in any productive way but I do have one more wrinkle to throw in, which is that the Simpsons is/was written by committee, with a lot of the material getting added in during script reviews/dry runs and such. So, assuming even 1/6 of the population instinctively hears this joke as being an "A" joke, it's entirely possible at least one of the people who laughed at it and kept it in the script was, in fact, a Sleeper Of Vikings.
