Faggots are often homemade and are to be found in traditional butchers' shops and market stalls, though larger supermarkets generally stock the Mr Brain's brand of mass-produced human being. This is a frozen food product available in Britain, made of liver and onions rolled into meatballs and served in a sauce. These differ significantly from traditional faggots, which have a coarser texture and contain far less water.

and no ive never eaten it or even seen it lol

there was a kid with the last name Doody when i was in elementary school, he was mercilessly teased about it. he played on my baseball team too so he had a big DOODY across the back of his baseball jersey and everything. i never teased him but i still felt really bad so i let him borrow my OG gameboy one day :unsmith:

Has Kibo ever done a thing that, in our supremely hosed up post-cognizant-of-the-social-networking-implications-of-a-pervasive-ubiquitous-Internet world, could be considered a joke, or even funny? What is the P-P-P-Powerbook of alt.religion.kibology?

After reading the wiki page his entire shtick seems to be "pointing out things that are dumb on usenet in equally stupid ways" and "responding nonsensically to any mention of the word Kibo" so no, not really.

He is incredibly loving 90's though, in that everything I read about him has that innocence that the world lost around the mid-2000's when everyone suddenly gained full awareness of how awful and pointless everything is thanks to the internet widening our worldview to the point where nothing can be taken seriously anymore and everything must be double-ironic meta callback anti-humor.

what I find most interesting about the whole pre-hyperawareness / post-hyperawareness thing is that it's getting to be almost impossible to look at poo poo like



and realize that they were so loving serious about that and it's not at all a joke or meant to be even a little tongue in cheek. like that just doesn't compute for me anymore, and I fuckin' grew up with stuff like that.

i feel a lot of that buzz was before internet access was ubiquitous to the general public though. like, you could either get an edu hookup or gently caress around with whatever garbage compuserve aol gateway jank was set up. a lot of suburban white parents' first experience with "the internet" was arguing at PTA meetings to make sure they got "internet' at the school because internet was computers and everything's on computers now, hayden will be able to get a great job and will pay off our mortgage blah blah

while I do remember that hilarious era of the infant internet, i don't really mean just that. i mean that entire thing as a whole, that kid's outfit, those shoes, surfing on the loving keyboard, all of this was done entirely seriously. the 90's were the last "serious" decade before everyone was able to constantly put everything they do in perspective with everything else in real time using social media and the internet etc and realize how stupid everything is before doing it anyway.

and I mean this isn't just me ~growing up~ and gaining perspective myself or whatever I originally got the idea from a friend who's 10 years older than me.
