I suppose it's time to tell you what was inside the magical space pussy. You can believe me or not. What do I care? I'm the guy who's been inside the magical space pussy.

yeah, i've noticed that sometimes people post weird things on the internet

da vinci beaver testicles (contenderizer), Friday, 13 May 2016 14:16 (ten years ago)

Apeneck Sweeney [34M] spreads his knees
Letting his arms hang down to laugh,
The zebra stripes along his jaw
Swelling to maculate giraffe.

The circles of the stormy moon
Slide westward toward the River Plate,
Death and the Raven drift above
And Sweeney guards the horned gate.

Gloomy Orion and the Dog
Are veiled; and hushed the shrunken seas;
The person in the Spanish cape[22F]
Tries to sit on Sweeney’s knees

Slips and pulls the table cloth
Overturns a coffee-cup,
Reorganized upon the floor
She yawns and draws a stocking up;

The silent man in mocha brown[40M]
Sprawls at the window-sill and gapes;
The waiter[59M] brings in oranges
Bananas figs and hothouse grapes;

The silent vertebrate in brown
Contracts and concentrates, withdraws;
Rachel née Rabinovitch[20F]
Tears at the grapes with murderous paws;

She and the lady in the cape
Are suspect, thought to be in league;
Therefore the man with heavy eyes
Declines the gambit, shows fatigue,

Leaves the room and reappears
Outside the window, leaning in,
Branches of wistaria
Circumscribe a golden grin;

The host [44F] with someone indistinct[50M]
Converses at the door apart,
The nightingales are singing near
The Convent of the Sacred Heart,

And sang within the bloody wood
When Agamemnon [52M] cried aloud,
And let their liquid siftings fall
To stain the stiff dishonoured shroud.

lol didn't we have an ilx thread where we were talking about dating and hiking and what counts as a hike? I'm cracking up reading this

Two of my best friends (married) regularly go on small hikes and camping trips... and neither actually enjoys it.

She was in a long-term couch potato relationship before and presented herself as wanting more adventure/activity and as an outdoorsy person. He presented himself as the guy to make that happen even though it wasn't really his thing, now they're invested in the gear and the trips and all that and will continue doing this until they have a kid most likely with neither one particularly happy about it.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:45 (ten years ago)

That they continue on doing it for each other and won't say a word because they don't want to disappoint the other is adorable.

Kiarostami bag (milo z), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:46 (ten years ago)

my advice is to start very slowly with that kind of thing and if you're not that into it, maybe scale back

there are probably a million couples with a "shared interest" that neither one is particularly into, though

μpright mammal (mh), Monday, 23 May 2016 19:48 (ten years ago)

OMG milo why doesnt another friend put them both out of their misery and tell them both!

Stoop Crone (Trayce), Monday, 23 May 2016 22:43 (ten years ago)

how can you tell people who are otherwise happy outside of this shared loathing that their relationship is a lie? that's how they bond!

So you are a hippocrite, face it! (Bananaman Begins), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 09:03 (ten years ago)

dude obviously knew the song parodies were parodies, just hadn't picked that the pastiches were pastiches and not merely original comedy songs

glandular lansbury (sic), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 09:27 (ten years ago)

presumably he's a bigger CSN fan than whoever else Al has pastiched, or possibly he'd never listened to a whole album until the new one (I've never listened to a whole Weird Album)

glandular lansbury (sic), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 09:33 (ten years ago)

I didn't understand the style parody thing until someone broke it down on ILM. I just thought he was good at making his own wacky songs.

how's life, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 11:48 (ten years ago)

Weird Al style parodies are probably his best stuff and I always wish like Jack White or Devo or whoever would bust em out for their live show

queen elseq of ærendelle (Whiney G. Weingarten), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 12:16 (ten years ago)

I dunno a lot of people get into Weird Al at a young age before they've heard the stuff he's parodying from, seems pretty normal to me

I mean I remember hearing "Satisfaction" on the radio and being amused that someone would cover the Devo song

frogbs, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 13:14 (ten years ago)

Am I going to be the first person to reference the 'inverse weird al' song on 30 rock?

inside, skeletons are always inside, that's obvious. (dowd), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 13:51 (ten years ago)

that seems to be the case

qualx, Wednesday, 1 June 2016 18:24 (ten years ago)

I suspected as much.

inside, skeletons are always inside, that's obvious. (dowd), Wednesday, 1 June 2016 19:43 (ten years ago)

so like apparently once information started coming out that the pulse shooter might have been a muslim /r/news locked every thread on the topic and started banning ppl who tried to start new threads. currently the only place to discuss the shooting on reddit is the donald trump campaign subreddit which has multiple threads on the front page bc that's the only game in town. it's like a metaphor for my worst fear about donald trump becoming president of the united states.

Mordy, Sunday, 12 June 2016 14:53 (ten years ago)

I bet we're missing out on some insightful and totally-not-racist commentary.

inside, skeletons are always inside, that's obvious. (dowd), Sunday, 12 June 2016 15:03 (ten years ago)

regardless - biggest shooting in US history, second biggest terrorist attack, you have to give ppl an opportunity to talk about it

Mordy, Sunday, 12 June 2016 15:08 (ten years ago)

Sure - and people were. I was reading the thread earlier. Once it gets swamped by racists (which is not the same thing as it emerging it might be a Muslim, though they're connected) what were they meant to do? Their posts were against the rules, and there was no way of controlling it. The Donald should have been shut down already.

they could have modded it extensively within the thread. shutting down the venue was a huge self goal.
