there are subtle nuances in every single one of those EXCELSIORS, I'll have you LOL

i know a professor who tells a funny story about moby dick.

the story is she knew (of) a guy who graduated with an engineering degree, managed to get through hs and college w/o really reading a novel, or shakespeare or much of anything. he didn't read. he thought maybe he should give a classic a shot, and someone recommended moby dick. so he gives it a good effort, reads it, finds it interesting, that's that.

this must have been the 90s; the story is months later there was an episode of the animaniacs cartoon on (maybe the guy had kids, idk) and one of the characters is on the phone, yells "call me, ishmael!" and slams the phone down.

and the guy just falls out laughing. because it's a joke that he gets. but then, laughter subsides, and he's crestfallen, and says something like, "oh my god. is everything like this?"

Double-bladed sword that one. "Moby-Dick helps engineering student understand Animaniacs joke" isn't the best advert for readin' books

I imagine Moby Dick guy approaching things like MST3K and Community with a combined attraction and loathing.

I approach MST3K and Community with attraction and loathing, respectively.

Well, yes.

seriously, why don't we just ban sexist/racist posters instead of making this big dumb unfunny spectacle out of it (ask ____ threads, frogbs) every time

"It was hell, I can't walk!" Man found sobbing in street after 36-hour sex ordeal with German nymphomaniac

The victim reportedly told police: “You have got to help me. She is trying to kill me with sex. I cannot get out and I cannot go on!”

Incredibly, when police arrived at the apartment, the woman even tried to tempt them into her bedroom.

In February, the day after 38 Studios released its first game, Schilling posted 3,200 gold coins — worth roughly $5 million at current prices — as collateral for a loan from Bank Rhode Island in Providence, according to financing statements filed in Massachusetts.
