Think of a dog cone on a human, but mouth height. Build a platform on the edge, so as to support a donut-shaped pizza. Place said donut-shaped pizza on the platform and inform the wearer that they'll die in the cone if they don't eat the whole pizza

The cone is an inverted pyramid shape but aside from that, that's my understanding of Pizza Tomb.

That doesn't seem very "atop the customer's head." And if the pyramid is inverted, it doesn't really evoke a tomb anymore.

But it does make more sense, thanks.

I think he just posted in a subforum (FYAD?) where active contempt was the standard forums tone. The roast-offs between Infrateal and Heebie-GBS that frequently resurface in the Funny Quotes thread were the gold standard of a specific posting culture, wherein digging on his long face also neatly fit.

sadly unfunny

he never flipped the gently caress out about the long face comments, nor did he let his minor celebrity go to his head, and those are the main ways that forums notoriety goes bad

this is gonna sound odd, but i’m not from any of the anglophones, so hear me out.

what on earth does that “showing your whole rear end” thing that people love shouting at each other in QCS these past few months mean? at first I thought it was something like looking like an idiot, like the trousers fell down or something, but then there’s the “whole” bit, which makes me think it’s looking like an idiot on purpose? but this gets thrown around in arguments, so then I get kinda confused

It's a Southern thing- I think an AAVE thing, or at least lower-class. And yes, the general idea is "you do not realize it, but you are making a fool of yourself to a catastrophic level." The "whole" part is just emphasis; I used to encounter the phrase as "you're showing your rear end."

I got this title for the dumbest fucking possible take on sea shanties. Specifically, I derailed the meme thread because sailors in the 18th century weren't woke enough for me, and you shouldn't sing sea shanties. In fact, don't have any fun ever.
Does someone know what thread the "Experience Bij" gang tag is from?

I know the phrase is a reference to Star Trek: The Next Generation: Interactive VCR Board Game: A Klingon Challenge, a low-budget Milton Bradley game where a klingon dude named Kavok steals the Enterprise while everyone on the crew is off-ship for maintenance, with only 2-4 low-ranking officers aboard. This is obviously a convenient plot device to get all the shooting done on the TNG sets during the off-season, but without any of the actual actors from the show. Anyways Kavok shouts "EXPERIENCE BIJ!!" at you a lot ("bij" is the klingon word for "challenge" or something, and when he yells that at you, you have to draw a bij card and potentially get hosed). I've played it once, and that phrase is burned into my brain.

So was there like a thread about the game somewhere, or did the tag just come from the general TVIV trek thread?

I think the tag comes from the Modern Star Trek thread, but pretty much every Star Trek thread overlaps and the "Experience Bij" thing comes from someone posting about the boardgame in one of the threads and it became something of an in-joke for those threads.

I went with some friends including one from Australia to an Outback years ago and the waitress gave us really lovely brusque service for the first half of the meal, until apparently someone took her aside and said my friend wasn't putting on a fake Australian accent to make fun of her, he was actually from there :v:

I had the opposite experience where a guy a friend was dating thought he was being really funny by doing an atrocious Aussie accent, and it was exhausting and terrible for everyone involved.

So I completely understand your waitress.

I've seen outback steakhouses everywhere but never been in one. If they actually try to speak in an australian accent then that explains this joke from The Good Place



For those who haven't seen it, it's an American themed restaurant in Australia and the hostess greets you with a really bad fake southern accent. The menu's funny as hell too. Also go watch the Good Place
