STOATIE LIEKS CHOCOLATE MILK
21:08 / 06.12.04
Good lord. I used to work at a poster shop that catered to these people. Four walls of nothing but Anne Geddes and Thomas Kinkade.

If you want to know horror, imagine a baby dressed as a bumble bee stepping on a human face, forever.


lekvar gives me a reason to re-enter the terrifying "things that are supposed to be cute" thread, of which I am mighty afeared. Bastard.

Dammit, I second that one. I'm going to steal it, as I know many people who hate Anne Geddes.

King of Town, pleading for an explanation of crumpets:

Are the[y] individually wrapped or cut from a loaf or sold by the bag like bagels?

Spoken with just the right blend of curiosity and exasperation, it has a charming rhythm.

In September my cousin tried muffins 4 the very first time
Now he's doing crumpets, it's June
Ti-imes...

You know what Benny. I was just about to post that. Well done Xoc; feel proud of your lyrical genius - very funny.

I'm quoting LykeX from the Christopher Hyatt thread in the Temple. On trying to suss Hyatt out :

It's hard to figure out when he's serious and when he's not. He's definitely taking a shit sometimes, but whether there's a deeper plan behind it is unclear.

I just think it's funny.

And of course Sally Dammerung in the lateshift thread early this morning :

Just cause ninjas don't drink swill does NOT mean we don't drink. We drink sake, you flea bitten bitches. Hot as the blood of freshly killed victims, designated by the shogun, who pays for our drinks.

Awesome.

If engaging with the person takes too much time, victory can still be claimed by popping in to the thread with a quip or flame to prove you’re on the right side of the debate to your audience, those rightminded people who are reading the thread and will appreciate seeing the restated quality of your stripes.

By Seth in the Entertaining Repugnant Questions thread in The Policy.


When I first saw the thread title I thought the 'entertaining' was an adjective. No such luck.

Squirmelia, one of the Secret Masters of Barbelith, on anti-beardism:

1. Having to kiss my father on the cheek (or actually, beard, not cheek) as a young child.
2. Inability to grow one myself.
3. Beard hairs that somehow fall out during intimate acts, and then you're suddenly covered in someone else's beard hair.
4. The Twits. So much bad stuff might get caught up in those beards.
5. "Beard" meaning "untrue" in certain dialects.
6. It being more difficult to tell people apart with beards. On that Beard Championship website, I swear that half of them are actually the same person, disguised by beards.


It's the gradualism that gets me.

eddie thirteen in the 'Teaching American Literature' thread:
Hurston and Poe both died broke and mostly unknown, only to be reanimated considerably later.

Adventures of the re-animated corpse of Edgar Allen Poe? Barbelith must make this movie NOW!

Perfect Tommy, in the 'Zombie Biology' thread...

Y'know, I'm a little ashamed. All the time I've spent fighting zombies, and so little given to wondering why...

It's the italics that do it for me...

Xoc: In Scotland all the newsreaders are called Kirsty, which saves confusion, but down here there's Neena Nana, who sounds like a Bananarama tribute band.

And, recently, she has been joined by a new newsreader who appears to be called Rizla Teeth. Somebody at Broadcasting House is clearly taking the piss.


Because I like laughing so loudly at work that everyone instantly pauses whatever they're doing to peer warily at me. No really I do.

Inarguable wisdom from the OG, Jay-C Pain:

"Godzilla may not be as deep as Robert Anton Wilson but he can breathe radioactive fire and flatten entire cities. Old magician, or fire-breathing reptile? The choice, I think, is clear."

Does anyone know any Smiths lyrics about shoggoths?

Thanks fridgemagnet. My keyboard is covered in nasally-ejected Fanta now.

Another one by Phex :

"it ends on the 23 of september 2012": Firstly, if you're doing the whole Mayan/McKenna thing then it's the 21st of December 2012 and furthermore: what if it doesn't? What if you wake up on the morning of December 22nd and have to catch up on all the Christmas shopping you didn't do because a acid-guru and a comic book told you the world was ending?

selfish crap for selfish cunts

I've heard that's the working title of the new Hyatt book

GL makes me choke on my Altoids first thing in the morning. Not the worst way to start things off, I suppose.

I can't read that line without supressing a chuckle, still.

Odd Jest on Horn made my evening with hir mock infomercial about insecure shoggoth's with short tentacles:

You guys have made my dreams come true. I have been self-conscience for as long as I can remember. I did not want to serve the Great old ones with other shoggoths growing up, because I was embarrassed. Not only has your system increased the size of my members while devouring puny humans, but it has helped my size while in the incredible antartic cold. I can mold my tents bigger, and I feel more like the shoggoth I should have been all these eons. The change is tremendous, I wanted to send you this note to let you know what it has done for me, and of course to order more LONGTENTZ!

Gypsy Lantern, here, because it bears repeating:

A magician whose “magical practice” is actively disempowering is not really a magician, like a person whose “martial arts training” leaves them unfit, clumsy and unable to defend themselves is not really a martial artist.

Haus laying the smackdown so hard it hurts just reading it:

HysteriX: Oh and mentioning the name of a PKD book (which I own) is so bloody impressive.

Haus: I own it too. Leather-bound. Is your copy leather-bound? Mine is. This makes me six times more countercultural than you are, and makes you a sheep. A sheep, I tell you.

"A.R.T.F.O.R.C.E. 3: Smack Down Art H8ters". Tagline: One's a laid-back mixed media artist, the other's a deadline driven Photoshopper. Watch the worlds collide as they team up in the name of art, creative projects and world peace.
Grey Area on his team up with Bedhead in the Wandering Notebook 3 thread. I'd go and see that in the cinema.

Illmatic gave me a good laugh with this comment from the Binding sexual desires thread in the Temple :

I can see how it might be useful and cathartic if you can only get it up with a redheaded prositute in a scuba diving outfit licking jam off your legs, or some similar troubling fetish, but otherwise, why bother?

And from the same thread, Gypsy Lantern:

Firstly, anyone who thinks that lust and desire are not entirely spiritual processes is unfathomably stupid and should be beaten savagely with a swan.

Not from the 'lith but, from another forum. I didn't mean to hurt you Barbelith, that's the last thing I wanted. Things have been weird lately and... we just met one night and I asked for it's URL and before you know it we were spread eagled with it's registration form in my mouth. Oh God, don't cry!

Sweet 'n' Low is NOT REALLY SUGAR though! It's not! It's some kinda bullshit sugar substitute that causes cancer in rats when you inject an amount of it equal to roughly half of their body weight into them over the course of two weeks! SUGAR DOES NOT DO THAT! Also sugar contains SUGAR, which Sweet 'n' Low does not!

It's the sense of honest importancy that makes me laugh every time.
