Bazarov really is one of the funniest things anyone can say to me, it is up there with "Lord Byron" for consistent I-will-never-sicken-of-this funny.

- Anche la natura è un'inezia? - chiese Arkadij guardando pensieroso i campi variopinti dolcemente e pittorescamente, illuminati dal sole già basso.
- Anche la natura è una sciocchezza nel senso in cui tu l'intendi ora. La natura non è un tempio, ma un'officina e l'uomo è un operaio. [...]
Passarono presso a poco due settimane. La vita a Màrijno seguitava il suo corso tranquillo: Arkadij faceva il sibarita. Bazarov lavorava.

― Allyzay, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 06:20 (twenty-two years ago)

“I don't understand Turgenev. That Bazarov of his is a fictitious figure, it does not exist anywhere. The fellows themselves were the first to disown him as unlike anyone. That Bazarov is a sort of indistinct mixture of Nozdryov and Byron, c'est le mot. Look at them attentively: they caper about and squeal with joy like puppies in the sun. They are happy, they are victorious! What is there of Byron in them!"

― Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 06:22 (twenty-two years ago)

THIS IS THE THREAD WHERE NED TRIES TO KILL ME.

When you find yourself at the altar saying, "with this Stone of Jordan I thee wed," you have definitely played too much (beware also if your bride is named Charsi).

In 1795-96 Byron contracted scarlet fever and was sent to the Highlands (to the valley of the Dee river about forty miles north of Aberdeen) to convalesce. Byron, dressed in the Gordon tartan, spent many happy days roaming the countryside ("My cap was the bonnet, my cloak was the plaid;")

'cronies'

― kephm, Wednesday, 3 March 2004 17:13 (twenty-two years ago)

Not sure why, but once I imagined my h.s. history teacher leering John Stamos' line "I looove Neet girls," from the commercial in the early 1980's. I was asked to leave the room to regain my composure. It's still funny even now.

Also, a line from the night before I got married, said by my wife: "Don't get snots on the rab."

And, somehow, "Dr. Samuel Beckett is a top scientist."

"translate from the physical" as a euphemism for death. it's what the cult of eckenckar(sp?) calls it.

― Felonious Drunk (Felcher), Wednesday, 3 March 2004 22:32 (twenty-two years ago)

One night I got drunk and went to Denny's. The waiter probably meant to say "here are the specials" (which would have been funny too because in that state I would've jumped up and pogoed like I was at a ska show), and instead he said "our special meals tonight are..." I started laughing far too loudly, and I couldn't do anything but bury my head on the table and pound my fist, saying "meal! meal!" over and over again. Ever since then I can't hear that word without laughing.

"Vaccinating!!" instead of "fascinating!!" I imagine I said this once in a medical context but really, it's too good not to use all the time. Presumably.

50 Cent in a chair

There is context. '50 Cent in a chair' is the caption to a photo in an image library I use in my current job. Not so shockingly it appears under a photo of rapper 50 Cent sitting in a chair. I just love the implication that this is some special or unusual action for him. It is my secret project to use it everytime I upload a 50 Cent story.

Glad you liked that one. From the same HS class, another line that I sometimes enjoy declaiming in the most dramatic voice I can muster. It doesn't crack me up as much as the other one, but it's fun, too. We were enacting the Greek myth of Theseus and Procrustes. As Theseus I was to say:

"O, House of Hades! Man-devouring! Will thy maw never be full?"

Hilarity ensued.

When I'm babbling nonsense noises alone in the car, I will often proclaim "Das Lied von der Erde" or "the Oort cloud" in an impossibly arch faux-middle European accent for which, were you to hear it, you would instantly (and rightfully) despise me. That's usually followed by loudly reciting an excerpt of the Ursonate memorized from Morgan Fisher's clever weirdo compilation album "Miniatures."

I was 12 when Monty Python reached the States, and this is what happens when we get old.

murder is a hilarious word

I always like to say it in a sly 20c British thespian accent ("mer-der") for some reason. I can't even recall a specific referent for this, but I'm sure there is one.

any sentence that involves someone "brandishing" something. the less weapon-like, the funnier it is ("brandishing a spatula")

i love the word 'whore'. i mentally yell it at rando dudes i pass (it's only funny if it's dudes) fairly often. it's a little tourettes-y.
