why is this such a prominent meme in pop music/literature/etc.? is there any statement more self-involved?

Masturbation isn't painful if you stop using nutcrackers.

For getting self-involved though, ned, nothing quite gets my attention the same way.

How's that barbed dick coming?

Barbed vs. spotted.

Spotted vs potted.

At first I thought Michael's first post was a response to the thread title

In the real world, Amateurist's thread title would be the likely response to my post.

When you say prominent meme, you mean...who exactly? Morrissey? Dante? The God of the Bible?

I'm not sure it's so much "some day you'll understand what pain is" as the inwardly turned anger of "some day you'll hurt as much as you hurt me".

since pain is one of those things that can't be adequately communicated under most any circumstance (both physical and psychic pain), it seems especially solipsistic to utter something like this.

I like the way Remy's post reads "M O E" over and over. Just say Moe!
