THREAD TO ESTABLISH PERMANENT EMOTICON TO BE USED IN RESPONSE TO POSTS EXPOSING HATRED OF PERFECT FOODS SUCH AS CORN DOGS

bob dylan played my last meal

nothing ruins an execution like a dancing dude with "SOY BOMB" painted on his chest

Not if he's the guy being executed.

I thought that guy was really cool in junior high.

Bahaha, yup, I still have a pic I drew of him & Dylan. Not wort scanning tho.

ITR CLASSIC THREAD BUMP

also i want a corn dog

just reading through this made me sort of almost yearn for the days of yesteryear, but it didn't make me want a corn dog

still thinking the lobster dog might be good, tho

you know you totally want a corn dog, stop fronting

RONG

considering eating the last hot cross bun in the house, tho

are you sure it isn't a corn dog in cunning disguise

i am impressed that sara eats imaginary food that only exists in nursery rhymes

when I was a confused child, I thought "hot cross buns" had something to do with the Klan

you should probably go out in the back yard and harvest your gumdrop tree while you are at it

xpost hahhahaaa really?

no, not really ;_;

awww boo

you have ruined my morning now, THANKS A LOT DAN

Also I bought the hot cross buns at Panera Bread, and for some reason they insist on putting dried strawberries instead of raisins into them. Not as good as regular ones.

regular "imaginary" ones

"brb pruning the lollipop bushes over here on big rock candy mountain"

one of my friends insists that everything at Panera tastes like a caeser salad (this is actually true)

did he go to the magical land of Panera by climbing through an old wardrobe in his uncles house

I think I'm buying the wrong stuff at Panera then. And I LOVE Caesar salad. ; _ ;

I do draw the line at a Caesar salad latte, though. I have standards.

"may I interest you in an iced coffee, young one? it only tastes a little like Caeser salad"

Well since you called me "young," I can't possibly resist.

actually you'd probably end up as Susan, wouldn't you

but both John and I would be Edwin

at least we can agree that FB would be Lucy

I feel like I've been insulted somehow but now I have to go re-read a book to remind myself how that has happened...

Susan was the independent-minded older sister who stopped believing in Narnia

In The Last Battle, Susan is conspicuous by her absence. Peter says that she is "no longer a friend of Narnia", and (in Jill Pole's words) "she's interested in nothing now-a-days except nylons and lipstick and invitations." Similarly, Eustace Scrubb quotes her as saying, "What wonderful memories you have! Fancy you still thinking about all those funny games we used to play when we were children," and Polly Plummer adds, "She wasted all her school time wanting to be the age she is now, and she'll waste all the rest of her life trying to stay that age. Her whole idea is to race on to the silliest time of one's life as quick as she can and then stop there as long as she can." Thus, Susan does not enter the real Narnia with the others at the end of the series.

okay, yep, that's me... well maybe not the nylons

maybe if I only believed in Narnia I could not kill every gumdrop tree I try to plant ;_;

"...nylons and lipstick and invitations." Sounds like a Bryan Ferry lyric.

reading that paragraph reminded me how much I hated all the Narnia travelers by the end of the series

like, shut up you judgy fucks, only one of you actually knows how to LIVE and the rest of you are actually dead

^^^ more evidence that I desperately need to re-read? Apparently the whole series fell through the gigantic gap in my memory.

Can I just go ahead and blame nursing school? Because that is my inclination.

they're all actually dead in the end, but susan doesnt get to heaven iirc

Hot cross buns exist, and are the only thing we ever actually thanked the british for i think

The proselytising in the Narnia books got a little tedious after awhile.

I guarantee that when you reread, you will find yourself rooting for most of them to die

yeah, but at the time i think it would have gone over most readers' heads.

it's interesting because in many ways it's the exact opposite of Pullman's His Dark Materials but at some point near the end of both you find yourself really rooting for an apocalypse to come sweeping through and get rid of all the people doing things you think are stupid

or maybe that's just me

His Dark Materials I remember a little better - first book was ace, second one was pretty good, third one was still creative but I remember thinking the end was disappointing

felt the same way about 'green eggs and ham'

Lately I've gotten the notion while reading fiction that writing a good ending is really, really difficult. I've run into trite endings and a few that didn't make any sense at all.

xp LOL

It started early for you, then.

i want to say yes.....

Damned fish in '1 fish, 2 fish' got on my nerves, too.

agree with you on endings, particularly with anything fantasy-y

There has to be a word for that
