Damn it. I was hoping we could leave this commentless, so as to make it clear that Unf exists in a parallel universe, with no spatio-temporal connection to the busy hive of activity that is the Mineshaft.
Actually, the whole review goes without saying. I can't believe Slate spent almost 1,000 words analyzing a stupid cartoon that was really at its best in Adam West's '60s light kitsch. Talk about beating a dead bat to death. As for SpongeBob up a 2-year old's ass, well that's pretty Freudian, and now, and right up the Mineshaft's alley. If that's where one wants to go.
I think many people believe that it was at its best when Frank Miller was doing The Dark Knight Returns.
5. So you want to play rough? Many people also believe a bat is just a bat.
And I think you just make things up sometimes, which is fine with me.
I'm with w-lfs-n. Or, I guess, his many people. Dark Knight was great.
Unfogged needs an "I'm with w-lfs-n →" t-shirt.
Judy, O Drunk of the North, many people seem to think that latest movie is quite good. Have you seen it?
I'd definitely buy a shirt that said,"1.1 The world is made up of hats."
I was musing to Ex a while back about a "superkoranic fellatio power" t-shirt. She seemed to think that no one would wear it.
I would buy all of the shirts mentioned thus far, provided they were well-designed.
Also, I should say that I've never read any Batman comics. In fact aside from a few issues of Astro City, lots of Dan Clowes, The Watchmen and V for Vendetta, a really strange manga series, and maybe some others, I am unread in comics.
Maybe not, but only because one can think of at least two different groups who might be inclined to kill you and who aren't averse to using violence.
There were some other iconic Unfogged phrases that I though would make great shirts, but I can't remember them now. I don't imagine "Sorry I'm late, I masturbated a lot as a kid" would sell.
We need something to stay warm up here. In Russia it's wadka, or petro from disgarded tanks. Actually, I don't drink and I haven't seen ANY bat flicks. The last good, useful film I saw was "Best in Show."
I find it fascinating that Frank Miller so wants Batman to beat Superman. Is this because he hates America? Most definitely.
Superman is too earnest. God, what a tool.
Anyone who wears underwear as a uniform and takes hirself seriously should reconsider one or the other.
SB: How did you know I am wearing just my underwear and typically wear it as a uniforum?! ! It's an astounding feat of "E" SP. Oh, I guess I'm being too self-centered.
Superman is just the example of why earnestness can be ok. Truth, Justice, and the American Way. Boo-ya!
Superman blows. He has the same dark "will to power" tendencies as Batman, but he doesn't realize it. Both are ambiguous characters, as social actors, but Batman has the virtue of realizing that. And, yes, this comes directly from my cuelo.
Ass. I've suddenly become intermittenly prudish about swearing/bad language in English. And, apparently, I hang out with a lower class of people than the Apostropher. (Like that's a surprise.)
E mumu lo'u muli. (as an addition to the conversation at SCTM's link.)
Sometimes it feels like I'm the only one who hasn't been to China. Me and Mills, anyway.
I'm not a native speaker, but I'm pretty sure the word is culo.
I hang out with a lower class of people than the Apostropher
This I doubt very, very much.
Was it w-lfs-n who wrote the "superkoranic fellatio panic" limeric? 'I would buy that t-shirt.
Weird. While googling "superkoranic fellatio," I came across thi.
Did you mean superconic fellatio?
Man, if they ever perfect the technology to bring blowjobs into the Fourth Dimension...that, uh, that's like, uh, another whole dimension!
Fellatio Pornblower would be just the man to do it.
Early, early, early Southern Culture on the Skids had a song called "Love in the Fourth Dimension", the lyrics to which I may be slightly misremembering.
I found love in the fourth dimension
My baby's shaped to strange dimensions
I found love in the shape of a cube
She's kinda square but I'm her kinda dude.
I find it fascinating that Frank Miller so wants Batman to beat Superman. Is this because he hates America? Most definitely.
No no no. Miller loves Superman. He has his charred corpse regenerate after being torn apart and dessicated by a nuclear blast. In the vocabulary of comics, this is pretty much the highest compliment you can pay someone.
16. Dammit. It's "discarded". I hate writing at the speed of light when everyone knows thought engrams can only travel at the speed of superman. Actually, I should have just not said anything and be presumed to be making up words again. "It's better to keep your mouth shut and be presumed ignorant than to open it and remove all doubt."
Captain Pornblower! I may steal that. Although actually Hornblower is quite the man-love story as it is.
Apparently I'm not the first to think of it.
And the pornless variation is even more common. I am ashamed to have committed such a triteness.
Apostropher,
If you really want to know how far down the rabbithole goes. Go to the link you provided, click on the present list of comments, then click on your link in one of your comments.
(Failing to reassure SB because lost in a reverie of the white naval pants Ioan Gruffudd wears as Hornblower.)
I am disappointed in the pants pix the internets have to offer.
it's late and i'm about to bed, but first I want complain, and it seems appropriate enough to this post in spirit. I was reading the White Stripes review in the New Yorker, and I wasn't enjoying it, but after this:
O.K., Jack, you’re a genius. You could write a hit underwater. But why not bring in a producer like Rich Harrison, write a killer bridge, and get Christina Aguilera to sing the chorus with you?
I am not reading another word.
(I didn't think too much of their batman review, either, FWIW.)
You could write a hit underwater.
The White Stripes have a hit?
Although actually Hornblower is quite the man-love story as it is.
His men are already affectionaltely calling him 'Horny' -- is 'Pornblower' even an improvement on that?
The White Stripes have a hit?
I don't actually watch the charts, but weren't "Seven Nation Army" and "Fell in Love With a Girl" hits?
I really dislike Sasha Frere-Jones. No, Gary Farber, I am not personally acquainted with him.
I remember finding his review of the latest Eminem album either insightful or laughably over the top, but can't remember which.
it's late and i'm about to bed,
Whom are you about to bed? Ogged's mom? It's ogged's mom, isn't it?
Anyway, for finding the suggestion that Jack White sing a duet with Xtina upsetting, SF/J would doubtless find you rockist. Yes, rockist.
What a wanker.
It's not only that I don't like xtina and have issues with her approach to music, but it's more that I can't stand sf/j's arrogance. That's not the first time in the article that he says, "yeah, you're the man, but, really, i know better than you," and, in giving this unsolicited advice, it doesn't seem he ever gives consideration to Jack's artistic preferences. "Meg's drumming is flat, you should replace her" he bitches. He doesn't seem to consider that, after 5 albums, Jack may have noticed that, or more, that he prefers it.
In fact he's discouraged her from taking lessons.
ha! did not know. IN YOUR FACE, JONES!
Did you know that Jack White is a big fan of tesla coils?
A friend went to college with SF-J and does not like him, personally.
w/d: you know what your problem is? You've got no joie de vivre.
I can't figure out how that's a reference to either my comment or the movie my comment refers to, so: Hey, I resemble that remark.
