Prince of Pickle posted:

In loving memory of Cornelius J. Langdon III.

You see, I've got this twin....or had this twin. He was practically everything I ever wanted to be, but I guess in order for you to understand this I'm gonna have to take you back to the beginning.
So it's 1986 and two healthy boys are born in a Red Cross Hospital. The firstborn, my brother, is named Cornelius. Ten minutes later, Arganaron is born....that's me. Thus begin the lives of two twin brothers, Cornelius and Arganaron. We lived a happy little life in a nice suburban community. One day in our 8th year of life we were walking home from school, Cornelius leading the way as usual. Cornelius turns to me and says "Hey Argy, why don't we try taking the shortcut today?" Now, I think right now is a good time to tell you that Cornelius was the daring twin whereas I've always been more rationalizing and careful. But, as usual, my pleads of protest against this brilliant new idea of Cornelius' prove to be useless. And, of course, I still tag along, because to tell you the truth, Cornelius was my only friend. He was real popular in school, but not me....I stuck to myself. So here we are, standing in front of this chain-linked fence. I say to Cornelius "Let's turn back and go home the usual way." Of course Cornelius doesn't listen. He starts climbing the fence. Within a matter of seconds he's reached the top and then three seconds later he lands artfully on the pavement on the other side. Another trait Cornelius and I never shared was coordination. He was always extraordinarily agile and athletic, while I was always fumbling around, clumsy as a bear. So I take a go at the fence. It takes me 2 minutes to reach the top, but I'm still proud of this little feat of mine. I extend one leg over the other side of the fence, so now I'm straddling it like a mechanical pony in front of the grocery store. Out of nowhere this dog comes and jumps at the fence, and I find myself falling, head first. But before I hit the ground I feels this sharp twang of pain and I'm still dangling with my head a couple feet above the ground. A few droplets of blood fall past my face. Then I see a little almond shaped pill fall with a splat on the pavement. Then another one. All of a sudden I realize that I can't feel anything between my legs. I look up to see that the sharp point of the chain link fence has penetrated my shorts....penetrated my scrotum, and torn it from the base of my penis to my thigh. I also notice that my penis is skewered on the point of the fence like a sheesh kabob. I roll my head back and vomit....it hits the pavement like diarrhea hitting toilet water. Then I realize that those two pills that fell to the a second ago ground are actually my testicles. Cornelius seems to be in shock, but he snaps out of it and tells me he's going to get help. He runs away, leaving me hanging on the side of the fence by the skin of my scrotum. Six minutes pass by....eight....fourteen. Suddenly I feel myself sinking a little bit. My genitals are burning with pain. I look up to see my scrotum slowly tearing even further. Then it happens, the last shred of skin holding me up tears off and I fall, head first on the pavement. Here I am, flat on my back....everything is blurry. I make out the skin of my scrotum still hanging on the fence....fluttering in the breeze. A little to the left of that is my penis....torn right out from between my legs. I've lost the pecker and the balls.
Ten years pass, I'm now 18. Cornelius and I are months away from leaving high school for good. Apart from our facial features, Cornelius and I have nothing in common. He's a lean, muscular football star with a deep, commanding voice. What am I? I'm an abnormally skinny, feminine boy with a high pitched voice that cracks if I talk too loud. Oh, did I mention that I have no chance in hell of getting laid? Not because I'm a loser....no not that. If that was the only reason I could at least go out and get a hooker or something. No....it's physically impossible for me to have sex....or even masturbate. I don't have a penis. How do I urinate? Well, the doctors implanted this special tube in my pelvic area. It's connected directly to my bladder so I can relieve myself whenever I want. But no, I'll never have sex. I'll never even have get to feel the pleasure of an orgasm. My only source of comfort is Cornelius. I look at him and see everything I could have been. It makes me love and hate him all at once. But he's a real understanding guy....he knows that I have my needs. That's why he lets me watch when he has sex with girls. At first they're weirded out, but Cornelius is a charismatic guy. He explains the situation and in 10 minutes tops I'm allowed to take my seat in the corner watching Cornelius do his magic. That could've been me, I tell myself. I would've had the looks....we're twins. But that goddammed accident ruined my life. It ruined my f*cking life.
It's the night after graduation. Cornelius is getting it on with this broad named Chella. He's taking his time....slowly working on every hole. Chella's irresistably sexy moaning fills the room. I sit in the corner in a reclining chair....just watching. All of a sudden I can't take it anymore. I pick up Cornelius' baseball bat (did I mention he was an all star baseball player?). Cornelius sees me....this isn't the first time something like this has happened. He tries to calm me down and still f*ck Chella at the same time. I've never felt like this before. I feel like....like I wanna kill Chella. I gotta kill Chella. Stop that f*cking moaning b*tch. I smash her skull in. Blood splatters my face. Cornelius is in shock....still thrusting back and forth into the dead corpse that was Chella. Then he says "What the f*ck did you just do Argy?" I can't take it. How dare he? It's his fault....all his fault that I'm like this. I swing the baseball bat as hard as I can at his head. He falls instantly, legs crumpled underneath him. I bend down and tug at his penis....still warm and wet from being inside Chella. I pull as hard as I can. I keep pulling....I can feel it tearing. Pay dirt....it's off. I eat it. Yes....I feast on it. Then I vomit. I'm sorry Cornelius....my brother....my friend. How sorry I am.

totally wikipediaed that one. it turns out dracula emerged out of a vampire genre of sorts.

Exploration is ill-advised.
Weird thing about Dracula is that the original book is really a far cry from what you'd expect from its adaptations, it's a first-person epistolary narrative that was basically a techno-thriller for its day with the constant showing off of cutting-edge technology. Also, there's a cowboy in it.

Not only is there a cowboy in it - well, an American, he's not exactly a cowboy - but he's the one who kills Dracula. 90 years of movies have taught us that Abraham van Helsing killed Dracula with a wooden stake and a crucifix, but actually Quincey Morris did it with a Bowie knife while van Helsing never even went on the mission because he was too old.

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.
The son of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, Archie, is currently seventh in line, according to Wikipedia. Four people, Prince William and his three kids, would have to die for him to be on the main line of succession (since William is Harry's older brother, and his line therefore takes precedent). And also obviously the three generations above him (his great-grandmother QEII, his grandfather Charles, and his father Harry) would have to die before he became king.

I've played a fair bit of Crusader Kings, so I can definitively say that Prince Harry's mistake was not plotting to murder his brother before he had three kids; now he's gotta do four murders if he wants to be in line for the throne, and that's a lot of work.
