I don't really have any idea what was going on in that exchange at all, does it read to anyone else like someone badly translating something into English? Rap is lyric and art, but only when the white teacher explains it word-by-word.

Tunicate posted:I'm guessing it's a bunch of lyric quotes? I can believe this. Only in real life it's a bunch of people at work talking about what they're going to do for St Patty's day and then this buzzkill appears out of nowhere and loudly announces that he's not going to do anything because he's not Irish, Catholic or an alcoholic. After a long and awkward silence, the buzzkill gets the hint and goes away and everyone else continues on like they were before.

TV Tropes is a site where a bunch of autists who think Buffy the Vampire Slayer and My Little Pony are this generation's equivalents to the works of Shakespeare and Chaucer badly try to analyze art. Tropers are said autists.

STDH got into The Guardian today: http://www.theguardian.com/stage/2014/nov/19/adrienne-truscott-the-day-i-lost-my-job-for-linda-mccartney quote:Dear reader, I realise these shallow observations may seem unbecoming and unsophisticated, but it’s important that I go on – this man was repugnant. Time and diet had taken their toll. There was no hope even of placing him in the category of the “not conventionally pretty”. This man was hard on the eyes – even my bloodshot, half-lidded and crossed ones.

Even Reddit had trouble believing this poo poo posted:The week before Halloween of 2013, I found a great deal on a video card upgrade on Craigslist. I picked it up and decided to list my old card for sale to recoup the purchase and make it a "free" upgrade. A few days go by and I get a text. Someone is offering me a better video card than my old one for trade plus 20 dollars on my end. The author changed his story a few times in the comments when people started picking it apart. Also made fun of internet tough guys without a trace of irony.

High school for me was a joke, just like it is for everyone. As a result, me and my friends did anything we could to make the days more entertaining. One plan started with two of my friends and a fake blood pill left over from Halloween. They approached the front desk to the office from opposite directions, right in the middle of a sizable crowd. One pretended to bump into the other and knock his books out of his hand. A mock fight erupted quickly. Naturally, a satisfyingly large number of people gathered around to watch. Hall fights are the best thing about high school. The office staff even crowded around, peering over the top of their partition walls and desks. With a mighty (fake) left hook, one friend caught the other square in the jaw. Right on cue, he bit into the blood capsule, sending blood spraying onto the crowd and the wall. He fell down, clutching his mouth and screaming. The victor, his role played out, dashed off. The guy on the ground was really hamming it up, even going as far as to remove the popped capsule and claim he'd bitten a chunk out of his tongue. And what did we get from the office staff? Applause.

Here's a nice story from gbs thats totally trueFluffy Bunnies posted:Once upon a time there was a girl named Cuddles. She liked to cuddle so everybody called her Cuddles. She slowly transformed into Orgyfriend. Her husband was kind of a dick and screamed at her when they had a miscarriage because he had no idea how to deal with strong sad feelings like an adult. That plus the miscarriage broke her goddamned mind. She slowly went from just having sex parties now and then in their on-base house (while he was deployed) to going down to Mexico, getting tattoos (one of which was a shrimp and a horse loving) and getting hosed up out of her mind. She got knocked up to another guy who awol'd out of the military with her when she divorced her husband. Eventually they ended up several states away with her pregnant with the awol guy's kid. Her best friend got caught with a shitload of cocaine back on the base, and Orgyfriend herself had been selling drugs out of the base house apparently. Slushed out of her brains, high on who knows what, she and awol boyfriend did a majyical ritual to "cleanse the darkness" from the babies in which she cut off her fingers with awol boyfriend. She's in happy padded room land now. I call her Nubbins. There's a lot more to all this (like donut dick eating and stuff) but that's the short version.

What's unbelievable about a chick screwing around on her husband while he's deployed, doing drugs, getting trashy tattoos, and getting knocked up? The story is told in a profoundly idiotic way but the only part that even qualifies as "unusual behavior" is the finger thing.

Got this one in email from my dad today: AN ACTUAL CRAIGSLIST PERSONALS AD To the Guy Who Tried to Mug Me in Downtown Savannah night before last. Date: 2011-11-27, 1:43 am. E.S.T. I was the guy wearing the black Burberry jacket that you demanded that I hand over, shortly after you pulled the knife on me and my girlfriend, threatening our lives. You also asked for my girlfriend's purse and earrings. I can only hope that you somehow come across this rather important message. First, I'd like to apologize for your embarrassment; I didn't expect you to actually crap in your pants whenI drew my pistol after you took my jacket.. The evening was not that cold, and I was wearing the jacket for a reason.. my girlfriend was happy that I just returned safely from my 2nd tour as a Combat Marine in Afghanistan .. She had just bought me that Kimber Custom Model 1911 .45 ACP pistol for my birthday, and we had picked up a shoulder holster for it that very evening. Obviously you agree that it is a very intimidating weapon when pointed at your head ... isn't it! I know it probably wasn't fun walking back to wherever you'd come from with crap in your pants. I'm sure it was even worse walking bare-footed since I made you leave your shoes, cell phone, and wallet with me. (That prevented you from calling or running to your buddies to come help mug us again). After I called your mother or "Momma" as you had her listed in your cell, I explained the entire episode of what you'd done. Then I went and filled up my gas tank as well as those of four other people in the gas station, -- on your credit card. The guy with the big motor home took 153 gallons and was extremely grateful! I gave your shoes to a homeless guy outside Vinnie Van Go Go's, along with all the cash in your wallet. [That made his day!] I then threw your wallet into the big pink "pimp mobile" that was parked at the curb ..... after I broke the windshield and side window and keyed the entire driver's side of the car. Earlier, I managed to get in two threatening phone calls to the DA's office and one to the FBI, while mentioning President Obama as my possible target. The FBI guy seemed really intense and we had a nice long chat (I guess while he traced your number etc.). In a way, perhaps I should apologize for not killing you ... but I feel this type of retribution is a far more appropriate punishment for your threatened crime. I wish you well as you try to sort through some of these rather immediate pressing issues, and can only hope that you have the opportunity to reflect upon, and perhaps reconsider, the career path you've chosen to pursue in life. Remember, next time you might not be so lucky. Have a good day! Thoughtfully yours, Semper fi, Alex Probably don't have to ask you to forward this one. It is priceless
