Brigadier Rainham Steele, Mrs (blueski), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 15:41 (twenty-one years ago)

is "teh" really funny, if it's in so many sentences?

RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:53 (twenty-one years ago)

if the answer is "yes", then, OK.

RJG (RJG), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:55 (twenty-one years ago)

It's exactly as funny as the comma thing.

n/a (Nick A.), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 17:56 (twenty-one years ago)

"teh" is, very obviously, supposed to be "funny".

The title of the last excelsior thread bugged me, too. The lyric is "In the summertime, when the weather is HIGH." It doesn't rhyme otherwise.

You know what would have been a trip? If Brian got together with the Wondermints to finally put Smile together, but then the recording dragged on, studio bills piled up, Nonesuch began to approach bankruptcy, Brian was spending days in the studio re-arranging microphones to get the right sound out of the French horn, an inordinate number of fires happend in LA, Brian got on the phone with that sand company to see if they still did living rooms, before you know it it's 2007 and most of the Wondermints have left the band and everyone is like, "When are we going to hear Smile, Brian?" And Brian was like, "This year, definitely, or I'm cooked." Then Brian decides to join Guns'n'Roses.

Freshers week is a f-cking long time ago. I think I saw Dexys, The Distractions, possibly Echo and The Bunnymen.

The first thing I did in hall was set up my stereo and put some music on to show that, hey I was a fun guy, come and meet me. Unfortunately the first record to hand was a Cockney Rejects album and someone asked me to turn it down quite abruptly.

-- Geoff (pissingintherive...), September 24th, 2001 1:00 AM.

I Am the Walrus was first to be released, on November 24, 1967. But Mrs Robinson came so soon after, on Jan 21, 1968 that I suspect Paul Simon wasn't copying. I suspect there was just a 'kookookochoo' vibe the air in '67.

true, but it does seem to be a common misconception.

scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 22:11 (twenty-one years ago)

'Goo goo ga' is quite hard to sing fast without it coming out as 'koo koo ka'. People are maybe just lazy.

what do they do when the part comes up that goes "jooba jooba/ jooba jooba!" though.

scott seward (scott seward), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 22:15 (twenty-one years ago)

I'm not as convinced as you are that they all sing 'choo' in place of 'joob', but in any case certainly when it gets to that part they are in tune with the 'jooba joobas'.

I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together.
See how they run like pigs from a gun, see how they fly.
I’m crying.

Sitting on a cornflake, waiting for the van to come.
Corporation tee-shirt, stupid bloody tuesday.
Man, you been a naughty boy, you let your face grow long.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Mister city policeman sitting
Pretty little policemen in a row.
See how they fly like lucy in the sky, see how they run.
I’m crying, I’m crying.
I’m crying, I’m crying.

Yellow matter custard, dripping from a dead dog’s eye.
Crabalocker fishwife, pornographic priestess,
Boy, you been a naughty girl you let your knickers down.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob.

Sitting in an english garden waiting for the sun.
If the sun don’t come, you get a tan
From standing in the english rain.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.

Expert textpert choking smokers,
Don’t you thing the joker laughs at you?
See how they smile like pigs in a sty,
See how they snied.
I’m crying.

Semolina pilchard, climbing up the eiffel tower.
Elementary penguin singing hari krishna.
Man, you should have seen them kicking edgar allan poe.
I am the eggman, they are the eggmen.
I am the walrus, goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob.
Goo goo g’joob g’goo goo g’joob g’goo.

sadly none of the lyrics sites give clarity on the jumper jumper stick it up your jumper issue.

Allyzay Science Explosion (allyzay), Wednesday, 29 September 2004 23:13 (twenty-one years ago)

As much as one can go overboard trying to find the hidden meanings in a song like 'I Am The Walrus', it's so rich a harvest of images and evocations that one almost does it a disservice to leave it utterly alone. It requires a process of splitting the mind, more or less, to understand a) what the song might have meant to Lennon; and b) what it means to you, the listener.

If John claimed it was a meaningless morass of musings intended to trip up the hot-shots of criticism, which he did claim, that's a worthy point. But the song (like any work of art - a painting, a book, a poem) takes on extra life once it's released into the general populace. The context of existence, the effect on its audience, both add variety and complexity to the work. It is not merely a practical joke. Beyond a certain point, it is arguably folly to read too much into a song such as 'I Am The Walrus'. But you can make a stab at it nevertheless, balancing what you know of Lennon's own grasp of literary/cultural allusions with the message that, in the end, is communicated to you as the listener.

A general question: does 'I Am The Walrus' mean something different to listeners depending upon which decade they heard it? I'm really curious about this. There's a certain undercurrent of paranoia in the song, one linked to an inexpressible fear of what we quaintly used to call "the establishment" - to wit, the powers of authority, the government, schoolmasters, whatever force was pressing you down at the time. (Consider that the musical inspiration for the tune was a British police siren, as heard one day in John's drug-induced mental haze.)

But if a listener first heard this number in the mid-80s, for instance, when according to your benignly beatific government it was "morning in America" and everything was coming up roses... would that haunting element of pursuit and paranoia be entirely missing? Would the source of that creeping fear be rendered impotent? And would the song thus seem more randomly disjointed, connected to no particular apocalypse?

I think that promised apocalypse is a vital element of 'I Am The Walrus'; it gives chill meaning to the singer's words, creates a bond with the listener who must similarly be convinced that advancing chaos (political or mental) is real. Otherwise, I think, you do miss out on an essential dimension of the song, and it becomes little more than incomprehensible nonsense, or part of an unprovable practical joke (to wit, the Paul Is Dead hoax).

Looking at the lyrics of the song (as printed in Campbell and Murphy's excellent concordance Things We Said Today, Pierian Press, 1980), and reading back through the chapter in Through The Looking Glass... which deals with Humpty Dumpty, I'm more convinced than ever that 'I Am The Walrus' evolved out of a mix of Lennon's impressions of that sacred book of his childhood, his own rage against forces beyond his control, his visions from drug-tinged psychoses...but the song became even more than that.

'I Am The Walrus' gained life from its in-studio genesis and the serendipty of layered elements (viz., the King Lear broadcast) - these could not all have been intentional, but fortuitously they add extra texture to the fabric. Is it my imagination, or is 'I Am The Walrus' often left in the dust behind Lennon's other compositional gems such as 'Strawberry Fields Forever' or 'In My Life'? I've always felt that 'I Am The Walrus' deserves an equal pedestal.

It's not surprising that the lyrics reflect a great compositional link with Chapter VI of Through The Looking Glass - the chapter that deals with the inherent meaninglessness of words, the arbitrary assignment of semantic content (a theory with which the Rev. Dodgson, ie., Lewis Carroll, was familiar), word regeneration (the "portmanteau" word), and the explanation to one of Carroll's most enigmatic poems (seen first in Chapter I), Jabberwocky. Was Lennon subconsciously recalling any of this as 'I Am The Walrus' came across his mental airwaves?

The song celebrates the same linguistic chaos that Alice explores with a large, egg-shaped being called Humpty Dumpty, though *he* never admits to being an egg, per se. " `When I use a word,' Humpty Dumpty said, in a rather scornful tone, `it means just what I choose it to mean - neither more nor less." Perhaps tracking down the *real* message behind "crabalocker" and "eggman" is thus futile. But we can guess. Is "crabalocker" some adjectival modifier of "fishwife"? Is the eggman a reference to some aberrant sexual practice, a symbol of florid fecundity, or shorthand for the nursery-rhyme character himself?

Then there are a few of Lennon's own portmanteau words: "two meanings packed up into one word", as Humpty Dumpty put it. Jabberwocky is full of them: "slithy", lithe and slimy; "mimsy", flimsy and miserable. Lennon's might be "crabalocker" (though I can't quite decipher what it must mean, other than the image of something to do with fishing, the original role of a "fishwife"...or perhaps via "crab" an elliptical reference to other shellfish, the oysters over which the walrus and the carpenter argue), and certainly "snied" (most probably an amalgam of "sneer" and "snide"). Is "eggman" one of these too? Maybe we're being too literal with metaphorical interpretations. Maybe an eggman is in fact meant to stand for the fragility of humankind against forces beyond its control?

That would fit Lennon's implication in the song's dynamic. What's really happening in the lyrics? There are fragile, breakable beings harassed by incomprehensible mental breakdowns and authority figures (policemen and corporations); it's a man trying to fathom reality out of psychotic visions. Alice stood her ground before the totality of illogic during her adventures; but the singer in 'I Am The Walrus' is losing the battle. Quite apart from its evocation of Alice's world, 'I Am The Walrus' is a perceptive word-portrait of what can happen to people under the effect of syndromes like schizophrenia.

Perhaps Lennon's experiences with hallucinogens gave him the necessary insight. The lyrics sound like the aptly-named "flight of ideas", where images succeed others at random, and where impossible things really happen ("sitting on a cornflake", etc.). Who can withstand this unpredictable world? Only "the good guy", as Lennon saw him?

Is that why he singled out the character of the Walrus, who he misinterpreted as the hero of The Walrus and the Carpenter? Because the only firm statement of identity in the whole song is the singer's declaration "I am the walrus."

Other identities are mixed: "I am he as you are he as you are me and we are all together...." This "we" is also "they" of the next line: "Look how they run...." The psychotic distances himself from the group even while he is part of it, just one more dumb animal running from authoritarian weaponry, or mutely captured and herded into a pen later in the song. "Waiting for the van" sounds like a hospital or sanitorium van (with siren blaring!). The "corporation T-shirt" is another symbol of oppressive authority, the crime of "you let your face grow long" a suggestion that free emotional expression is an anathema to Big Brother.

Lennon creates some nice reverse parallelism in the next few lines. Whereas the pigs "run" and then "fly" (in the sense of "flee"), the "pretty little policeman" (to whom are they pretty?) "fly" and then "run". Here also is one of two Lennon allusions to a previous song: 'Lucy in the Sky with Diamonds'. But these policemen don't really "fly like Lucy in the sky"---it's an ironic contrast with the pastoral calm of the earlier work. "Lucy..." is full of non-threatening peaceful images, but that world is lost. And the singer at this point is near breaking. "I'm crying" is repeated in growingly anguished tones, four times.

The line about "yellow matter custard" is in fact part of a gruesome children's rhyme popular in Northern England; but in the context of the singer's anguish, it's a stark visual image that is all too real. Listen to the stress in Lennon's delivery at this point; death is hovering closely, no longer just a childhood fancy. And nonsense words continue to bedevil the poor protagonist. So do incongruities: under usual circumstances a priestess is a sacred role, but here the image is debased as "pornographic priestess", maybe even a demonic succubus.

John's second allusion to his own songwriting may be in the next lines. On the surface, it's more incongruity: "If the sun don't come you get a tan from standing in the English rain." Just a clever joke on the changeability of British weather? But look back at 'Rain' (1966) for a moment. There we're told that "When it rains and shines / It's just a state of mind." And the state of the singer's mind is none too stable right here; reality is inverted so that even if the sun disappears you still get the same effect.

I read the following verses as a dual attack: "Expert, textpert..." (the latter another probably portmanteau) deflects the attempts of folks (like me!) to explain what's happening in the song. However, within the song's context, these experts are more of those sneering, snide establishment folks, caught in the same trap as the desperate singer ("like pigs in a sty") but unwilling to admit that there's something real and fearsome to bewail. "...the joker laughs at you", the lyrics tell us, but in 'I Am The Walrus' pronouns usually refer to us all, not just the second person singular. And that goes for the singer himself, whose growing dementia will not be taken seriously by anyone.

More flights of ideas, more incongruity. No matter what "semolina pilchard" or "elementary penguin" refer to, we know they can't do in reality what the song *says* they're doing. Are these more expressions of the inability to link strings of logical thought, or vague references to a breakdown of respect for religion and art?

'I Am The Walrus' collapses here after the chorus into an orchestrated cacophony of weird voices (actually the Mike Sammes Singers, session vocalists hired to laugh, whoop, and mutter mysterious inappropriate messages); schizophrenics often hear disjointed voices insulting them or telling them to do things, and it's remarkable how well this passage suggests it. Even the indistinct voices of the Fabs create a hallucinogenic aura. Compare this to an antecedent: The Yardbirds' "Happenings Ten Years' Time Ago" (Nov. 1966) and listen carefully to the middle break. You even have an alternating sequence of notes that sound like the siren-wail of 'I Am The Walrus' (could this be a subconscious influence on Lennon?) as well as the raucous British-inflected laughter and commentary.

But there's another stroke of accidental genius, admixed with serendipity. The "King Lear" broadcast is a perfect final commentary on the chaos of the song. Remarkable, too when you consider that the BBC aired plenty of plays on radio and it could have been *any* random offering. Instead it was one of Shakespeare's most bleak works, in which a king looses his sense and his kingdom, in which hierarchies of social structure unravel and cause the downfall of previously-coherent men and women. The briefly-intelligible excerpts underscore the mood of the song so perfectly that it's a wonder it wasn't planned that way. The singer could easily be described as a "most poor man, made tame by fortune's blows".

And the last fade includes a reference to death, which the protagonist has feared along with his madness throughout the song: the inevitable nothingness, the last chaos. It's a masterful stroke of finality.

Does all this really exist in 'I Am The Walrus'? It's what I hear; you may hear something entirely different. And if Lennon were still with us, he'd probably deny that he meant anything at all. He wouldn't be the first artist to claim that his work had no more within it than what he intended. But what a limited view! Even Lennon admitted that he had "spasms of being intellectual." And inevitably, even Shakespeare knew that there were more things in heaven and earth - more visions, more explanations - than one man alone could dream.

Doo-a-poo-poo
Doo-a-poo-poo

[The following four lines can be heard in Rutles bootlegs,
but do not appear on the released recording]

Civilizing jungle bunnies
guinea pigs including me and you
Talk about a knock-kneed frog
Second cousin to a nun living in the zoo

Walky talky man says hello, hello, hello
with his ballerina boots
you can tell he's always on his toes
Hanging on a Christmas tree
Screaming like a bogey man
getting up my nose

Hey diddle diddle
The cat and the fiddle
Piggy in the middle
Doo-a-poo-poo
a-poo-poo-poo

This little piggy went to market
This little piggy stayed home
This little piggy had roast beef
and this little piggy had none
This little piggy went
Woooo!
All the way home
(repeats, fades)

He was clearly fished out of the disused Capital City breadbin and is therefore a cryogenically-defrosted thrusting '80s Thatcherite goer and doer.
that was the big twist in the end Marcello, you just gave it away! He was supposed to reveal himself as some kind of time traveller sent by Thatcher to infiltrate 2000s USA to weaken it for future Britain's benefits, under the disguise of some city loser falling in love with an american record store clerk with a $60,000 income.

While being reluctant to question your honesty and integrity, I distinctly remember the mutually agreed-on price being '$40', not '$60', and was only dissuaded from questioning this change of arrangements by the two friends of yours who mysteriously appeared on either side of me before the deal could've been completed on the terms originally confirmed.

DUD DUD DUD!!!

ESPECIALLY if you are also tripping and THEN have to take care of people.

Before proceeding with this story let me just state that I love mushrooms and with this one exception, have incredibly positive memories – including the one time I (a la Kenan’s friend) ate cigarettes before, according to my friends, ‘regressing to something amphibian’. (I did have people pointing and laughing the next day but all of those people were so inspired by my enjoyment that they had all ended up taking something) Having said that, disaster follows.

A group of people who I went to college with and also worked with over a few previous summers at summer camp are having a lil reunion party at my flat. I am at work but come in and find out everyone has taken mushrooms. (Note: ALL are tripping for the first time)

I also take some (well, a lot) before realizing how messed up they are (I only realized how drunk they were when I was cleaning up the next day and found massive amounts of empty bottles ranging from cheap cheap wine to beer to much hard liquor)

End up with 8 very drunk people tripping in my place. I end up having to through sheer force of will sober myself up (something I did not know was possible) to take care of everyone as:

One person starts having a bad time coz he is so drunk he wants to pass out but can’t coz he is tripping. So very scary as his eyes are rolling back and then he comes to so I’m trying to take care of him while one person is suggesting calling the cops.

While I am dealing with this, another friend decides to scream at the top of his lungs prompting a “WTF, Are you OK?” moment. Quickly discover this due to his revelation that he is filled with passion and love for me. As he is straight and dating my best friend this is a kind of a problem for him. I’m now forced to split my attention between his somewhat (to put it mildly) freaking out about this and the person passing out.

Then, the ONE sober person there, (henceforward to be known as evil bitch from hell) decides to take the tripping people into another room and force them to read the pig-head scene from ‘Lord of the Flies’* to a skinless calf’s head (long long story) that was in our freezer. Of course now the head is out of the freezer, defrosting and seriously freaking people. (My friendship with evil bitch from hell – hell, civil behavior towards -- ended that night)"

I spent my night calming down multiple severely upset people, disposing of a head and generally having a miserable time. The one semi-light moment took place when my roommate walked by with a bucket around his neck. I stop him to ask him why and he said “if I get sick so I don’t have to run to the bathroom” There was at least enuf logic there for me to feel free to wave him by and eliminate him from my group of ppl I had to take care of.

*For those who do not remember, here is the scene if you want to imagine what this did to people.

“Simon's head was tilted slightly up. His eyes could not break away and the Lord of the Flies hung in space before him.
'What are you doing out here all alone? Aren't you afraid of me?'
Simon shook.
'There isn't anyone to help you. Only me. And I'm the Beast.'
Simon's mouth labored, brought forth audible words.
'Pig's head on a stick.'
'Fancy thinking the Beast was something you could hunt and kill!' said the head. For a moment or two the forest and all the other dimly appreciated places echoed with the parody of laughter. 'You knew, didn't you? I'm part of you? Close, close, close!' "

I used to babysit these complete nutcases that lived down the street from me when I was a teenager - their mother would always instruct me that they could have ONE PIECE OF FRUIT for a snack (she was always explicit about FRUIT being their only choice). Anyhow, the kids didn't like this shit. They'd have a fit about having to have fruit for a snack. Especially the younger daughter, who was about 8. One day she completely threw a temper tantrum about the fruit and started wailing and screaming and locked herself in the pantry. When I finally got the goddamn door open she had opened a jar of peanut butter and a packet of graham crackers and was eating both furiously (if I recall she had peanut butter smeared all over her face). She grew up to have an eating disorder. NO SURPRISE THERE!!

You should alert the authorities immediately: seemingly meaningless "spam codes" like this one are currently being used by terrorists to undetectably transmit information about upcoming attacks. For instance, the phrase "chugging teahouse yankee" refers to the revolutionary acts of "terrorism" like the Boston Tea Party, and by extension, ironically, to the upcoming terrorist action descripted in this text. The phrase "compote contusion prayer" is clearly intended to indicate that this action will be a particularly terrible and deadly one, full of injury and lamentations unto god. But where will it take place? The next phrase clearly answers this question: "carlton harshen bestial
atalanta" not only points out that this attack will target the "bestial" infidels of Atlanta. More specifically, it indicates the specific targets to be "harshened" -- with its reference to "Carlton," meaning the character played by Alfonso Ribiero, Jr. on the sit-com "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Aire." Carlton's last name, you might recall, was BANKS.


In the later portion of the message we find more details about the organization and method of the attach. "Corinthian indecomposable Gaulle" is a clear reference to Al Queda sleeper cells along the Mediterranean -- sleeper cells that will "bind" and "Click" in anticipation of the attack. The phrase "mallow manor anyway accurate" indicates that some planning has taken place among cells in London, and the phrase "Balinese noise dearth" clearly means that Indonesian cells have been inactive in the process. (The "bodice" that follows is likely a reference to Indonesian authorities.) "Diethystilbestrol Bialystok" is a common fertilizing agent that can easily be converted into an explosive, and the latter reference to "Oppenheimer" is a clear indicator of the particular technique to be used in the conversation. "Diacritic chigger" refers to a message to follow, in Arabic, which sports many orthographic marks that cling around the associated letters something like the insects known in America as "chiggers." But most chilling of all is the obscure ending of this text -- "sanitarium messenger bottleneck" -- which clearly describes a plan to keep ambulances ("sanitarium messengers") from reaching the maimed and wounded of the attack ("bottleneck").

I swallowed a pen cap in Dec. 1999, I was chewing it and had to slam on my brakes to avoid hitting a kid who stepped into the street. I felt it catch in my throat, but couldn't make it come up gagging myself, so I assumed it passed and digested it even though I started having sinus problems and trouble breathing off and on for months.

Then, last summer, I was hanging some insulation and got to coughing from the stuff in the air, went outside and COUGHED UP THE PEN CAP, which was still black but kind of filled with stuff. It had been lodged in my throat or somewhere for almost four years.

i've never quite understood why there's a Ghandi statue on Union Square (Ghandi's walking North from University Place...possibly on his was to Diesel Jeans or Staple's ["loin clothes? Yeah, we got those!"]). But his little plot is very lovingly looked after, and pilgrims do drop by and drape garlands around his neck. It's quite nice, actually.

Houston, Washington DC, Milwaukee, Chicago, Salt Lake City, St Louis and Atlanta also have Gandhi statues. I think they are usually in connection with Martin Luther King, because of Gandhi's influence. As far as I know, though, Gandhi never visited the US (well, he was shot in 1948 - it still wasn't that easy to travel); if he had visited the statues might make more sense. The one in New York is lovely though, Alex, you're right.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Monday, 11 October 2004 02:40 (twenty-one years ago)

so as the result of a completely random u-turn i ended up going out with a totally different group of people last night and they ended up being the most obnoxious, ridiculous people ever, the kind of assholes that you spend your whole adolescent life cultivating an extrasensory instinct to avoid and now more or less forget exist until they're sitting in front of you saying one ridiculous thing after another and you're confronted with the crushing reality check that this is what most of the actual world is probably like.

i guess they were hipsters? diagonal haircuts and pinstripes and suit jackets (i had one on too, never felt like a bigger retard) and all that, but really that was nothing compared to the completely ridiculous things they were saying. there was a married couple in the group, and everybody else had been host to their four year old's birthday party earlier in the day so these ridiculous people are sitting there goofing on the FOUR YEAR OLDS who attended the party (they collectively dubbed one of them "that really ugly girl") and then the intergalactic champion of ridiculousness declares "i'd rather spend six months in afghanistan or be a homeless garbage-eater than run a daycare." it's at that point that i feel an overwhelming disgust for basically all of humanity, especially ben sherman and franz ferdinand.

i was hoping i'd have a question at the end of all this but really i just needed to vent. i've filed the thread under "abject stupidity." feel free to take this opportunity to talk about ridiculous people you have known and mentally throttled, or about franz ferdinand, or about whether i am old yet.

ideals literally, behaved ironically:

--Blacks sitting at whites-only lunch counters
--Gays getting married
--William Upski Wimsatt touring "the bad parts" of every city to show how safe they are
--Kids treating adults as equals

When we got there we went to the front and found a setlist so me and my friend yelled "Play _____" to correspond with the setlist before each song. We didn't know they were keeping to their setlist until the singer goes "Hey you guys are ruining the element of suprise", to which my friend retorted "It's ok I see dead people too".

Lucky lucky lucky me!
Root canal work, tee hee hee!
Strap me in the chair oh yeah
Turn on the drill and tear, tear tear!

Yay! Ole! hip hip hooray!
Root canal work, happy day!
Dentist can I come in early?
Drug me up, my world is whirly!

Root canal work, yeah let's go!
Drill me fast - no! Drill me slow!
I want to hear the lovely scraping
Of steel my enamel raping

Drill me dentist, drill me good!
Go through the nerve, I wish you would!
I want to feel the agony
Of root canal work, endlessly

HOLY FUCK I FORGOT THIS STORY

so one time, when i was living in philly, i and some friends of mine got drug to see some horrible play my roommate was involved in and needless to say i drank about 19 beers (this is sadly not an exxxageration) during said performance (after which i got on stage and played "the blues"...but that's another story). so afterwards we're - this is mostly people i went to college with most of whom i had since fallen out of contact with - trying to figure out where to go and there's this all night diner around the block, so we go. now, once there i'm seated next to this girl who i UTTERLY hated during college, because she was a pretentious art bitch, but who was way way hott and who had been making googly eyes at me all night because since i stopped eating and started taking lots of drugs i had somehow transmogrified into the waif-like indie boys she usually went for. so i order - insanely since my stomach was already doing the jungle gym - cheese fries and she gets a waffle. and we're exchanging banter and at one point i lean over and - drunk as a skunk - rest my head on her breasts and say, "you know, i really hate you." she just laughs. so then during the food, i start to dip my fries into her syrup. she goes, "are you sure you can handle that?" and i reply, within full earshot of the ten people around the table, "of course, you bitch...you should see the way i handle the cheese fry in my pants." stunned silence follows, before some brings up something else and we move on. then, outside the restaurant, as we're splitting up. she says to me, "so are you going to show me how you handle it?" by that point i was totally all "so what i'm drunk" and seeing my deer-like expression she says - TOTALLY DEADPAN - "your cheese fry."

so we went back to my house and fucked.

and then, i threw up on her.

Everyone is missing the key point: it's a feminist history class, so the perfect approach is "Hey, what's a hot babe with great tits doing in an intellectual class like this?"
More seriously, you aren't with your friend so don't have to sit in the same place. Sit near enough to her (not right next to her) so that she is a natural person to talk to as you gather your stuff and start to leave. Yes, "what do you think of the class?" is fine, as is any comment or question about the class, especially one that can turn into a discussion, and can offer an opportunity for something like "I'd like to continue this conversation - do you fancy a coffee?" or some such.

You can't excelsior that and not this:

I have a good one for this! Okay so there's this kind of cereal called "Good Friends," some kind of healthy-type plainoid cereal, and every variety has a photo on the box of two people sort of hugging up for the camera and being, you know, "Good Friends." Now look at these pictures and just tell me you don't interpret some kind of weird irony in the whole "Good Friends" formulation:

http://a1468.g.akamai.net/f/1468/580/1d/pics.drugstore.com/prodimg/86661/200.jpg

See, the guy is relaxed and comfortable. But look at the pinched dying-inside expression on the woman! She's in love with him, and he'll never see it, and she can't say a word because they're just ... "Good Friends."

Now in this one you might assume that the guy, with his horrible fearful constipated expression, is the one secretly in love with the woman. You'd be wrong. See, look at the smug, possessive look on her face, the way she's nuzzling so comfortably in on him. You can hear him shouting, just under the skin: "I'm not with her! Don't listen to her, she's crazy! She won't stop calling!"

Here's more of an uncomfortable success story: these two college volleyball players got very drunk last night and actually crossed the line.

http://www.shopnatural.com/product/16368.jpg

Another lesbian scenario. The black woman is the white woman's idol, see? That's how they became friends, based on the white woman's immense respect for the black woman's experience. Which was fine for a while, maybe just a little annoying, until one day in a moment of passion the white woman leans over and lays one on her "Good Friend."

Am I the only one seeing this?

I can't believe I didn't post to this about how I once decided to microwave plain M&Ms in the hope of creating a candy-swirled liquid-chocolate treat (to be poured on ice cream). I was ten. They caught fire. Then my dad got home from work. Really, though: who would have ever thought that any substance people regularly eat would catch fire in a microwave?

Ned, take Elvis is Dead's rundown. Say a classic album's one where at least half the songs are good. There's 15 good songs. Say between Unforgettable Fire and The Joshua Tree there's five good songs. We're at 20. Add three more for Achtung Baby! and you have the magic mandalic number 23. 23 good songs is hard to just dismiss. Sure Bono wears sunglasses, and yes he's over 40 and concerned about Third World debt and he socializes with other fabulously successful people. 23 good songs! Don't people who love music like good songs? Don't people who love music appreciate bands capable of recording double-digit good songs?

How long will this joke continue? I have no idea. I'm not bored of posting nonsense that gets a rise yet. Are you not bored of being the one that rises to it?

I like the implication that:
