apparently horses that are gelded - you are supposed to clean that stuff off of them, because it accumulates and could cause an expensive infection if not regularly dealt with.

I'M SAD REVIVE #34
summary because it was half an hour ago:
I'm sad dudes, againHad a great trip to Chicago last week, saw all my old friends, remembered that I used to have friends Back at work, hall conversation: "You're not smiling anymore, now you're not new anymore lol" me: :(attempt to lighten up I'M SAD REVIVE #34 with second anecdote that was pretty funny, I thought, but it involved a bathroom story with (a lot of) poop and fartz, which is a kinda touchy subject nowadays so I left it alonekeep having childish thoughts about running away and living in the woods/another country/on the beach/working as drunken depressed cook in Antarctica research lab
I dunno, I've always had a good 15-20% of my posts that I delete before I post because they're just stupid, but lately it's probably up to the 50% range. So next time I post something ridiculous, remember that it could be waaaaay worse

Given all the Ralph business, I considered a parody/parallel poll:
- Ralph literally believes that Ms. Hoover is his mother- Ralph calls Ms. Hoover "mommy" because he has trouble distinguishing his personal family life from his public social life- Ralph's use of the term "mommy" witnesses a parapraxis in which Ms. Hoover, her role as a teacher standing as that of an ersatz maternal figure for Ralph, is transposed with a conception of his mother in that her ability to provide him milk echoes a maternal desire in part established by the pleasure first derived in infancy from being breastfed. For Ralph, who evidences a difficulty in intellectually and emotionally developing beyond an infantile state, Ms. Hoover is "mommy" insofar as she hold the promise of delivering the milk he desires.
Unfortunately the last point, though I myself would totally vote for it, wouldn't fit as a poll option.
in so far as she can

Also, I wanted to post that Ralph sucks, he was the very first character to delve into the sort of cheap, empty gag-dom that took over in later seasons. He was perhaps the first that stopped being a character and became an easy, prepackaged stereotype that frankly, isn't funny.
But I know everyone would take this as challops, etc.
― Tonight I Dine on Turtle Soup (EDB), Thursday, 29 April 2010 03:10 (fourteen years ago) link
I had third thoughts about posting an elaboration on that point, but then had fourth thoughts, so I'll post it here:
The general notion of ralph's problems with language and his proclivity for fantasy is generally OTM.
Consider when Ralph says to Ms. Hoover, "can you open my milk, mommy?"Given his cognitive impairments, this may be evidence of an inability to differentiate personal and public lives, insofar as figures do not become fixed in their signification, rather existing according to the scattered logic of the fantastical mind of an individual who has trouble moving beyond an infantile state. Here, Ms. Hoover, in her role as a teacher-qua-ersatz maternal figure, is for Ralph transposed with a conception of his mother in that her ability to provide him milk echoes a maternal desire in part established by the pleasure first derived in infancy from being breastfed. She is "mommy" insofar as she holds the promise of delivering the milk he desires, thereby revealing what, on one hand might be an instance of parapraxis, but on the other hand, might indicate a deeper lack of rooting in symbolic reality. Ralph's readiness to assume the role of a viking - an ideal figure he fantasmatically identifies with - indicates his stance in regard to a life led according to desires evidently detached from reality.
Perhaps, then, Ralph is in fact more a viking than he is a boy.
