Javid posted:The big issue is that Onstad does it well, and most people you describe do not. Eh. Sometimes seeing something imitated badly makes you realize the thing being imitated is kinda facile and hack-y in and of itself. Also it's just irritating to hear people talk about their hometown/childhood experiences like it's loving Penny Lane. Everyone had those experiences, and they're really only significant to you.

The main issue with a bloody mary for me is that I don't keep tomato juice in the house as a habit, so I could only ever make one if I went out of my way to get it. This probably isn't a problem for Ray

I mean, it's more or less known and understood by everyone involved that those kinds of experiences are special to the person who had them and not to anyone else. The exercise is to try to share one's own personal nostalgic experiences with others. There are a lot of different tools we can use to do that, and one of Onstad's is the use of disarmingly flowery language. But I don't think he thinks his experiences are special. I think he's just trying to communicate them to others in the form of stories, because that's how we connect to others.

I don't think I've ever encountered people doing this but the part of my brain that loves trash very much wants to find some examples. Is this an IRL thing or are there examples online I could go and find in the manner of a raccoon feasting on fish heads? Also, I just noticed that those automated diary strips take place on my birthday. It is nice to find a birthday strip.

Does anyone have the sinus infection strip handy? I tried to find it but I’m all kinds of gorked on percriptiona right now and it doesn’t look like it’s on the indexed strips for search. You’d make my day a bit less shite if you find it.

psst, the kids in college are all gen z. Unless, of course, by "millenials" you mean "that nebulous group of youngsters who is to blame for every single problem in society" then carry on.
