Grace Jones challenges binary sexuality but in a way that will be too strong for some people.

bony tony posted:Cornelius was laying it on a bit thick with his jeremiad about his "childhood drum", but Ray didn't notice, what with him being thick as pigshit. I never read the blogs so I never picked up on this, but it makes a million kinds of sense. Cornelius obviously knows that Ray has a childhood drum and goes to play it at Christmas etc etc most people don't have childhood drums because most people's parents have more sense than to buy a child a drum (due to the noise) EDIT: I always just assumed it was Onstad being weird LordSaturn fucked around with this message at 22:44 on Jan 9, 2021 |

It's a word with Cartillage Head and Nice Pete in it, where a five years old can put together a company that makes enough money to buy an ermine coat. There are enough differences that maybe childhood drums are just A Thing That Exists.

a childhood drum can be both metaphor and real, it's one of those delightful word tricks that Onstad really excels/excelled at it exists in the same beautiful liminality as "restroom eyes" the childhood drum can be both a broader conceptual thing about the exuberance and explosive optimism of young childhood, the warm heartbeat of nostalgia in adulthood for that heady time, and also literally a drum that many young children just wind up getting from like a parent or other family member or maybe it just sorta materializes I dunno, can a pot or pan be a childhood drum? Is roast beef's childhood drum like an empty coffee can or whatever? I got a wood+leather hand drum in the DR when I was five, and I have always had and cherished it, is that my childhood drum? Or is it the small handheld den den spin drum I'm told I received at EPCOT when I was 2?

If Achewood was Star Wars there would be a novel trilogy explaining why Connie's childhood drum was lying there and an animated prequel show with a guest appearance by Ray that details why he needed Connie's advice. Disney, buy Achewood please

This would now be the most important and pivotal thing to build the entire character around, even if it comes at the expense of literally every other bit of characterization that Beef has ever had. Oh God I'm complaining about Doctor Who in the Achewood thread, I need to get my rear end kicked by a guy who trained himself to be a Marine by jumping off his roof onto a trampoline.

Bongo Bill posted:It's a puzzle that's framed as being much more esoteric than it is, what with all the stuff about the works of Pliny the Elder. The joke is that Ray completely buys that it's difficult. It's a dunk both on MENSA for mostly consisting of expensive flattery, and Ray for falling for it. I once knew a guy who would drop that he's in Mensa first thing. Like literally, "Hi, my name is Guy and I'm in Mensa". He was exactly the type of person you probably think he would be. Turbo libertarian with chud leanings masquerading as a liberal left winger, but constantly "just asking questions" and "just having a dialogue" about everything and being the most exhausting motherfucker on the planet. It's actually good that nazis are able to harass people online and yell gamer words because it's freedom of speech and if you don't like it you should just debate them and explain to them the logical fallacies in their world view and furthermore Haven't really spoken to that guy in a few years lemme tell you what!
