I mean trump isn't even in yet so I figured it couldn't just be an anti Irish joke right

Roberto Spiralli, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 01:54 (nine years ago)

in fact the joke has about 5 different levels to it, but I don't want to give them all away.

iatee, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 01:57 (nine years ago)

the joke will be explained in the next oppo dump

I would love a coffee table book of annotated ilx threads

someone should totally do this. just print all this up and annotate the hell out of it. what could go wrong?

It hinges on knowing who Kitty Genovese was.

Good morning. UK shift starts...

Mark G, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 06:52 (nine years ago)

it's wordplay

is the implication here that it's to do with Irish pronunciation of "third world"

diary of a mod how's life (wins), Wednesday, 23 November 2016 10:00 (nine years ago)

Pronounced 'Trócaire' iirc.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 10:10 (nine years ago)

Some of you not immediately knowing who Kitty Genovese was is forgivable, but not bothering to look her up on your own only adds to the punchline.

pplains, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 14:09 (nine years ago)

In fairness the need to research an entry on the Excelsior thread is somewhere in the sub-basement of my pyramid of needs.

Andrew Farrell, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 14:14 (nine years ago)

Aren't most basements subterranean?

pplains, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 15:12 (nine years ago)

I know, I know, I could look it up, but that would take me away from my view of the street.

pplains, Wednesday, 23 November 2016 15:12 (nine years ago)

i was gonna look up Kitty Genovese on Wikipedia but just figured someone else would do it so I didn't bother

I'll save everyone some googling: it's a brand of cat food.

ME, TODAY: "You know, a month from now, you and some other posters are going to be cracking Kitty Genovese jokes on the Excelsior thread."

ME, LAST MONTH: "... ... ... Trump's going to somehow win this thing, isn't he?"

pplains, Thursday, 24 November 2016 01:54 (nine years ago)

Way more surprised at and disappointed in Iago than in Trump.

Iago's selection of a diehard torture proponent for his attorney general was the last straw

sarahell, Tuesday, 6 December 2016 20:18 (nine years ago)

I watched a Danish show recently -- it involved a mentally ill woman who was a sociopath as a teen who talked to her miscarried fetus that she kept in her purse. Kinda pissed Fred is banned, so he can't respond to my assumptions that most Danish women carry miscarried fetuses in their handbags and talk to them when they are alone.

Just realised I was confusing Vera Bradley with Vera Drake the abortionist mike leigh movie, which made sufjan's joke seem nastier than it was

I hear from this arsehole again, he's going in the river (James Morrison), Thursday, 8 December 2016 22:58 (nine years ago)

Vera Bradley might not be so well known. Either way, I apologize for any nastiness felt. Not a good topic for clumsy jokes.

tried Blue Apron and we died (Sufjan Grafton), Thursday, 8 December 2016 23:35 (nine years ago)

As if a danish woman would carry a vera bradley bag, fetus or no

Treeship, Thursday, 8 December 2016 23:36 (nine years ago)

Perhaps if she had a semester at IU

if pizza is allowed as pie, pie will wipe the floor with cake. or something else a bit less disgusting sounding.

not necessarily, if pizza is allowed as pie then it stands to reason that gin & tonic can be allowed as cake and then it's all to play for again
