makes me wish people knew about vanishing points and the directions shadows should fall!

in our social circle we had the recognised story-bail line of "and then the guy exploded".

for a while this was used to the point that just saying "A.T.T.G.E." was enough to signify an anecdote's inglorious death.

naming submissions is a conundrum, isn't it? i posted this to r/pics about 2 minutes before this post, with the title "i don't want to talk about fucking socks", where it immediately vanished without trace.

thought i'd have a crack at posting it to r/funny with a different title, and it's made it to the front page within 2 hours. granted, a sample size of 2 is hardly broad, but shit eh?

anyway, point taken, but i don't think it spoils the post at all...

i'm a fan of subtly segueing into a different story if the first one is nosediving. even better if you can do it with enough panache that a member of your audience who has heard both stories separately doesn't give you up.

EDIT: also, i didn't know how to spell segue until quite recently. i'd always pronouced the written word seeg, and didn't know they were the same thing. shortly after i discovered this fairly obvious mistake, i was stumbling though some horrendous poetry i'd written years ago and found i'd written "segue-way". wow.

wow, really? i guess i just assumed they did without even realising i'd made that assumption. like many people i suppose. dinosaurs couldn't roar, huh? could you google that for me?

well, that's perhaps not such a bad thing. i'm quite smart, and as a result never really learnt to work hard. this is fine through high school, less fine through university, and a burden for adult life. it's far more important to be motivated, and have the discipline to apply yourself. hopefully having to work harder than you thought you might will give you those skills!

please do! distribute fucks to your heart's merry content.

but amongst all this outrage i'm curious to know what the problem really is. is it that the guy/girl who reposted this is having their internet genitals lightly fanned in admiration by an unwitting populace, whilst yours are sitting neglected on top of a pile of original content?

or is it more to do with people not liking their humour recycled, and feel some hipster entitlement to niche enjoyment of gags that not everybody saw the first time around?

and really, how hard is it to hit the "hide" button?

except i (and probably most people here) didn't get to see it 11 months ago. and it's pretty funny. sure, the OP here might get some unwarranted plaudits, but really, who gives a fuck?

why? who cares if its on facebook? what's the issue?

nobody will see this comment but you. i am drunk, i have had an excellent night, and i have returned home to my usual ritual of perusing a few minutes worth of front page reddit before heading off to noddy blinkums. i applaud your prose, timing and deft touch of description. i doff my imaginary hat to you, good sir.

and i also understand your position, having experienced the questions that accompany a silly costume in the past. i am, however, too drunk to append a humourous description of said costume's explanations.

edit: drunk typinh. typing. yeah.

i have a MASSIVE dislike of my ears being folded. i'm cool with them being touched, played with, nibbled, drawn in with a sharpie. but i HATE them being folded. it freaks me out so much that i can't stand it when i see OTHER people's ears being folded either, by their hat or beanie, or when they have an itch or whatever.

even writing this now i've had to flatten my ears against my head with my hands to alleviate the tension (sometimes i press them into my head with my shoulders). of course my friends who know of his ridiculous quirk will often deliberately fold their own ears at me just for funsies. cunts.

nope, first time it's ever been posted anywhere!

it's far better than the american system. not quite as good as the poo-shelf toilets they have in eastern europe though.

gyrferret · 1 year

yeah, because when i was leaping from the bookcase cock-first i stopped to take a picture!

gyrferret · 1 year

why does it still hurt when someone disputes your integrity, even though you KNOW they're only doubting you because they've never had any ridiculous adventures themselves???

gyrferret · 1 year

it was pretty standard so far as i recall. we'd kissed a little and spooned on her friend's couch the night we'd all met at tam tams (an unofficial drumming party in montreal park that just evolved somehow, there's no organisers or anything, people just turn up every summer sunday, and have been doing so for years apparently. it's awesome!).

i don't remember it specifically, but i'm sure the text she sent me was fairly innocuous. probably your standard "hey, lying in bed thinking about how nice it would be if you were here" kind of stuff. there were a couple of texts back and forth to establish semantics and confirm, but nothing that particularly hinted toward any specific requests.

i think i just happened to be feeling particularly frisky and adventurous that day (i hadn't had any action for a couple of months), and for some reason suspected she'd be up for a fairly bold approach. happily, i was right!

that part was HILARIOUS. clearly, there are practical difficulties when trying to launch your entire body cock-first into a vagina from height, and there was a decent element of risk too. i somehow managed to safely land between her legs without snapping my skin flute in twain. but the cock-docking i envisaged, in which my knob made first contact and slid easily in, followed by my irrelevant body, remains a wistful pipe-dream.

you'll be comforted to learn that most of the time i'm completely rubbish, so your prejudices against australian nookie can remain warranted.

i've only ever shagged one kiwi, but she'd been living in london for years, so i didn't think i could fairly extrapolate her merits across a whole population.

how big is your australian sample size, so to speak?

gyrferret · 1 year

indeed, it's not our usual vernacular. although like many american-isms, it's slowly seeping into our lexicon. people have started using the term "downtown" in australia, which was unheard of ten year ago.
