Get bashed, platonist!

Something Awful has always been notorious for being transgressive and bucking the status quo. I’m glad the mods are continuing this proud tradition by getting rid of the people who refuse to stop denigrating trans people like some furious old conservative grandpa.

That one is just ironic shitposting about video games. Like taking the gamer stereotype seriously (ironically.) They don't say gamer words, and I tried too hard to fit in there.

The Brits and the Americans do a lot of similar but different things, and the differences are fairly pretty meaningless.

That said, the greatest musical ever is Cats. And it is 100% American.

I'm supes jazzed for Cats. Can't wait to see those little cats running around singing. It's one of the only things that doesn't seem cynical to me, it's too bizarre. It's like god gave it to us.

I know it could only be seasonal like the paranormal forum but if we could have an Andrew Lloyd Webber subforum for like ooooone week I think that would really give us a chance to appreciate the holidays in the spirit that jesus et al. intended

Memory is the worst part of Cats. the best part of Cats is that people forget there's an orgy scene.

Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is clearly the best ALW musical. It's fun to watch and fun to perform. Memorizing this was a delight:

It was red and yellow and green and brown
And scarlet and black and ochre and peach
And ruby and olive and violet and fawn
And lilac and gold and chocolate and mauve
And cream and crimson and silver and rose
And azure and lemon and russet and grey
And purple and white and pink and orange
And red and yellow and green and brown and blue!

Best. Song. Evah.

God dammit. I was hoping some idiot Brexiteer would point out how Weber was British so I could blame Cats on the limeys.

Anyway I lied, Starlight Express is the best musical. And it is also 100% American.

You'd think a big cat orgy would be memorable but it's just too weird and people's brains reject it. what's amazing though is sure, sort of like how people forget Wicked loving sucks, people would forget, except Cats ran for 29 years or some poo poo and these cats were having orgies every time. for twenty nine years. like that's actually a shitload of cats!

I have a special hatred for Cats because my extremely manipulative grandmother tricked me into going to it.

She called up my mother and told her that my uncle, who was kind of a crazy loner who grew his own pot and once drew a gun on his mailman, thought it would be really nice if he took us to Cats for his birthday. Then she called up my uncle and told him that me and my mother really wanted to take him to Cats for his birthday

We got to the intermission and we were all standing there in a triangle telling each other how much we liked Cats, only to realize that we all hated it and had been tricked. And that we were all idiots for falling for my grandma's extremely stupid lie. Then we just went and got some food and laughed about all the weirdo Cats cast members running through the audience.

Plato's cave is just you, bent over a table, watching the shadow of a cat loving an rear end and being so desensitized and unaware that you don't realize it's your rear end being hosed in the shadow.
