Corn is revolting in any form
So is coffee

Corn sucks. but coffee?? nooo
― Colonel Poo, Saturday, 4 November 2017 00:07 (six years ago) link
Corn is worse in it's unadulterated form because you just shit it straight out, and it looks the same. It reminds you of death, and the whole grim eating/shitting cycle that is keeping you alive!

The estate tax is immoral and wrong.

Estate tax should be 100%

"The Tax Policy Center estimates that the estate executors for only 11,000 people who die in 2017 will end up having to file for the estate tax and that only 5,200 of them will end up having to pay anything."

corn is in so many ways a surprise fruit
― rove mcmanus island (Autumn Almanac), Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:23 (six years ago) link
it’s a grain we did funny things with
― mh, Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:32 (six years ago) link
Ok brimstead, I DO eat popcorn. I meant like canned corn, creamed corn, frozen corn, corn on the cob
The thousands of times I was forced to eat it as a kid I swallowed the kernels whole, with water, like terrible pills of terribleness. So it was definitely not chewed.
― just1n3, Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:47 (six years ago) link
I felt it was controversial bc everyone is always fuckin raving about fresh corn on the cob
― just1n3, Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:48 (six years ago) link
I ate your share and my share of corn on the cob this summer.
― WilliamC, Saturday, 4 November 2017 01:51 (six years ago) link
fresh corn on the cob is just ok, I am fine cutting the kernels offI mean it’s a ridiculous thing to eat a lot of because it’s so sweet, but we have events called “sweet corn feeds” in this part of the country right during that season, where it’s the main thing and you have sides, but just eat as much sweet corn as possible. I still have the baggage of having braces on my teeth for years as a kid, and no corn on the cobit’s wild because people think of that as corn but the corn you eat as “corn” typically is like 1% of corn grown. it’s all field/seed corn
― mh, Saturday, 4 November 2017 02:01 (six years ago) link
True. In its own way it was as bad as Answer Me!, and the current revival is even worse than the 90s version.
― grawlix (unperson), Saturday, 4 November 2017 02:03 (six years ago) link
sorry, I get all cranky-ass after working in the main corn business too many years

Grilled corn on the cob really can be the best

Book of Mormon is just a toned down South Park riff turned into a musical so yes
― mh, Tuesday, 14 November 2017 21:04 (six years ago) link
280 "doesn't bother" me either, but that's because my eyes/brain just automatically skips tweets longer than 150/160 chars, I've noticed. It's a terrible change, taking the pace and USP out of twitter entirely. If I want long winded updates I'll check FB, which I'd rather avoid tbh.

yea i was indifferent to 280, who gives a shit really. but i do notice that i don't read any tweets longer than ~150 or so

comedians aren't important at all
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:47 (six years ago) link
That's controversial?
― Terry Micawber (Tom D.), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:50 (six years ago) link
well i keep reading "comedians are important, especially in this day and age" as if its a truism.
seems like its a popular narrative in the media, they really "tell it like it is" and "push boundaries". is any evidence that any of this has helped anyone ever?
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Tuesday, 14 November 2017 22:53 (six years ago) link
like if anything comedians probably make it easy to laugh about horrible shit and move onto ignoring it
a sense of humour is bad not good
