"For Sale; Baby Shoes. Never Worn." That five-word thing is a stellar reversal too.

The most famous six-word story is Ernest Hemingway's: "For sale: baby shoes, never worn" The implication of the original story is tragic: the baby died and never wore the shoes. The five-word version subverts your expectations and transitions it into a comic story: the baby was born with clown feet and so was unable to wear the shoes bought before its birth by parents expecting a baby with normal feet.

It’s a riff off of Hemingway’s six word tragedy: “For sale: baby shoes, never worn.” E: poo poo, new page and fb.

Its written to the tune of the Danny Phantom theme- so it wasn't funny at all.

It's campaign pitch was vague, he did not name any collaborators or what content he's creating for it, and he's trying to do it for only $250,000. When people pointed this out, he used the "if you're not in the business or an artist, you cannot criticise me" argument. Then it was revealed that Butch, a born-again Christian, was trying to sell this to religious church-going people as a faith-based service, which included blaming modern media for depression and suicide.

Blind Rasputin posted:Service request in our apartment portal I worked as a maintenance tech and maintenance manager for a few years and you'd be amazed at some of the funny poo poo that gets submitted. If it goes through a leasing agent or whatever you tend to get that stuff filtered out but a lot of places allow people to submit service requests online and some of those were just amazing. I wish I could post examples but I've been out of the industry for a couple years now. Like one time I had somebody put in a service request wanting us to fix their neighbor's blinds because they were broken and they saw his dick while dude was working out nude. E: we did, of course, but we had to jump through a couple minor hoops because we can't usually enter somebody's unit at the behest of another resident.

How does that tie into the weird poem?

Oh wow, this brings me back to my time in the Peace Corps. "You'll get very familiar with your own butthole" the volunteers that had already been in country a year told us in training. Those toilets are especially great for the 40% of your time in country when you have diarrhea. EDIT: The cistern also serves as a handy mosquito breeding ground in case you were running out or worried that you were going to be the one guy who didn't get dengue.
