Thoughts, Feelings, Raves and Rants: The Rambling Thread

Vanguard448 · July 29th, 2010, 05:11 PM

Here's my basic premise for this thread.
A thread where you can post pretty much anything you want. Any thoughts, ideas, feelings, ranting, griping, boasting, little things you wanted to say but thought were too insignificant for a full thread, things you just wanted to get off your chest; anything goes. Obviously normal forum rules still apply, but other than that it's no holds barred.

Whether there has already been something like this or indeed still is, I don't know. I just remembered it from another forum I used to go on (A Warhammer forum... I'm a dork.) and it worked really well over there (very tight-knit community on that forum, much like it is here) so I thought it was a good idea to bring it here. So, assuming this isn't a completely stupid idea and nobody wants to, go crazy guys!

Hollowman...42 is the punchline to an inside joke for all misfits, not just the Brits.

Watch the film of 'The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy' or, better yet, read the books. Seriously, go do it. Now. I'll wait.
Done yet? Yes? Good. Now you understand the joke. Congratulations.

Why does the local ice cream guy have a Good Humor menu poster on his van, but after you fork over your money he slips you something called "Blue Bunny"?

Canned laughter. There is no place in this world for canned laughter. Let us be rid of it, and make it compulsory for TV sitcoms to grow their own laughs, not get them from a can.

I was pretty disappointed when I found out Evel Knievel was going to jump the Snake River Canyon in a rocket. WTF. He's supposed to jump stuff on motorcycles.

LOL...remember how drunk he was? He had hired a guy who couldn't cut it at NASA to design a rocket to go across. All that guy managed to design was a poor spectacle.

OK, so we can all agree that a hickory dickerydock is a dickerydock made of hickory, right?

Has anyone ever made a dickerydock out of anything else besides hickory?

And, what the heck is a dickerydock?

I oiled mine...but only around the edges, so people didn't notice until it was to late...

We still laugh about my slippery hickory dickorydock periphery trickery.

I'd like to take this opportunity to state that IT'S FREAKING HOT!!!!! I now return you to the previously scheduled program.

I always thought that booger and burger sound way too much alike, being that one is made of snot, the other food. Also, I have recently noticed that too many facebook status updates quote obscure lyrics and end with ...., which is okay only if you are leaving something out....

When I was a boy my mother bought Parkay margarine:

I could never eat it because of its jingle, "tastes like butter but it's snot".

tgfmike · July 30th, 2010, 01:17 AM

Now we're going a hundred twenty
As fast as I can go
The Rambler pulled along side of me
As if we were going slow
The fella rolled down his window
And yelled for me to hear
"Hey buddy how do I get this car outa second gear?"

Okay, based on recommendations here for summer reads, I'm reading the book "Infinite Jest" (including the footnotes, and the footnotes' footnotes). I like it, but then I like "Gravity's Rainbow". I'm up to page 130 (the long, drunken soliloquy of James Incandenza's father) . In other words, I'm at the beginning. Now, the questions:

Okay, the author is fascinated with casual drug use. But tennis and Quebec Separatism, what's up with that? Why the elaborate story of these Teleputers? Why does he use "The Year of the Depends Adult Undergarment" instead of actual years? Are you supposed to piece together what year each of these phrases refers to? Right now, I'm just going with the flow.
