Okay. My wife and I have a running gag about Five Guys but it is a different vibe.

Do you want five guys?

I could eat five guys.

Sorry, I don't have the appetite for five guys.

Could we maybe just have four guys?

Etc.

It's in poor taste but sometimes it works.

so a good insult for when you're with your bros, and maybe one of your bros isn't being the best bro they could be, is making hard eye contact and asking, "bro why are you being such a crotch?"

I have seen several headlines about Ecuador electing a "millennial banana heir" as president.

My most wholesome thoughts are with the people of the Republic of Ecuador. May they survive and thrive. I wish them peace and prosperity.

That said, my stupid dad-joke pun-brain is going freaking WILD, yo.

Like, is a "millennial banana heir" someone who inherited thousand-year-old bananas? Or merely someone who has inherited bananas that were born around the year 2000?

And... hear me out.. isn't there a common phrase for a republic run by a banana magnate? Maybe, um, could one potentially call it.. a... republic of bananas?

Wankin' on Bobo

― don't let days go by, Listerine (Ye Mad Puffin)

everybody remembers the album as being called "The Clones of Dr. Wankenstein", but all the copies of the album clearly say "The Clones of Dr. Wankenstain". This is an example of the "Mandela Effect", which has in turn led to widespread conspiracy theories about alternate timelines.

To me, though, it's all about the pronunciation of "Wankenstain" on the iconic title track:

We love to wank you, Wankenstain! Your wank is the best!
Take my body, give it the mind to wank with the rest.

It's spelled "Wankenstain", but it's prounced "stein", not "stain".

That's not to say that we're not in some fucked-up alternate timeline, or that there might not be some timeline where it's spelled "Wankenstein". I've always thought of it as "Wankenstain". I mean, there's a pun there, right? That's the whole point.

Kate (rushomancy), Tuesday, 31 October 2023 15:22 (one year ago) link

Further notes:

Various online sources give the lyrics to the second line as "Wank my body and give it the mind...", however, the official lyrics, as found in the 1996 Parliament/Wankadelic box set "Give Up the Wank: Tear the Roof off the Wanker" confirm that the lyrics do in fact go "Take my body, give it the mind...". Another argument against the so-called "Mandela Effect" is that we sometimes _misremember things_. If our memories were to be trusted, the lyrics to all of Parliament/Wankadelic's songs would just be a load of wanks.

It's also of note that Parliament's use of "Wankenstain" to refer to the doctor accords with the terminology used by Mary Wollstonecraft Shelley's classic novel _Wankenstein_ - and note here that Shelley _does_ refer to the novel as "Wankenstein" and not "Wankenstain", another probably reason for the confusion. The "Wankenstain" pun just wouldn't have worked in Shelley's day - although "wank" to refer to masturbation was well-attested by this point, the use of "wankstain" to refer to the discharge produced by masturbation had not come into widespread use yet.

Shelley, it is often noted by pedants, used the term "Wankenstein" exclusively to refer to Doctor Victor von Wankenstein. However, it is equally incorrect to refer to "Wankenstein's Monster". It is hardly credible to refer what Shelley consistently refers to as "the Creature" as a "monster" - based on context clues within Shelley's original novel, it is unlikely to be more than nine inches - hardly what I would call "monstrous" proportions! Why, I've taken...

Ahem.

In any event, understanding of Shelley's work has perhaps suffered a little bit from later adaptations, adaptations which significantly alter her source material. In particular, the visual appearance of the creature in James Whale's iconic 1931 film bears no resemblance whatsoever to the creature in Shelley's book. In addition, the behavior of Whale's creature is entirely different. While in Whale's movie, the creature makes no more than guttural outbursts, in the original novel, the creature is intelligent and articulate. I'm certainly sympathetic to the transmasculine contemporary reading of "Wankenstein", but it's not one that's necessarily reflective of Shelley herself.

Indeed, "Wankenstein" is one of those works of art which has engendered (no pun intended) both transmasculine _and_ transfeminine readings. Unlike with other works to garner such interpretations such as "The Addams Family" and "The Legend of Zelda", transmasculine and transfeminine meanings accrue to different versions of the work. The transmasculine reading primarily takes as its source material the film by James Whale, a cisgender homosexual man. In contrast, the transfeminine reading, as expressed in the seminal "trans studies" essay "My Words to Victor Frankenstein Above the Village of Chamounix: Performing Transgender Rage" (take a shot), takes as its origin the original novel written by Mary Shelley, a cisgender heterosexual woman (making allowances for the fact that both "cisgender" and "heterosexual" are anachronistic terms when applied to Shelley's era.)

this is another anachronism but I'm pretty sure shelley was "bi" by today's standards (presumably still "cis" although the book does give me pause)
