Probably. If anything can, Flare can.

You've been here three months, and you still think strange topics are uncommon?

If strange topics are common, does that mean they're not strange anymore?

Was it in reference to him not wearing shoes as he crossed Abbey Road?

No, they are just common.
The topics remain strange, and are they ever strange.

I'm fine and (as I hope all can see) alive. Who said I was "D-E-A-D?" I just had to take a breather for a while.
I'd make some clever allusion to the Romulan's speech in TNG's "The Neutral Zone," but I'm lazy.

Uh oh. Someone stole Captain Mike's line...
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
For one thing, it's "death", not "murder". And I think some of the rest of the wording is off, too.
Posted by Styrofoaman (Member # 706) on :
Five pages... Better get posting then.
Posted by Toadkiller (Member # 425) on :
Besides he was talking about Romulans and you bring up the Klingons - what's up with that?

Or had wanked off at the indian graveyard, previously.
To make up for what I just said (kismet), here's some select lines from Edgar.
And the Raven, never flitting, still is sitting, still is sitting On the pallid bust of Pallas just above my chamber door; And his eyes have all the seeming of a demon's that is dreaming, And the lamp-light o'er him streaming throws his shadow on the floor; And my soul from out that shadow that lies floating on the floor Shall be lifted - nevermore! Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
I have a nagging feeling that I should know whatever it is you're referencing.
Posted by Toadkiller (Member # 425) on :
Oh come on - it was on the Simpsons!
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
"Nevermore" was read on the Simpsons??? What, was it Sideshow Bob or something?
Cartman: Truly one of your country's best poets. He was in touch with melancholy in a way that reached Munchian, almost swedish levels.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
No, I meant your Abbey Road/graveyard reference. I know it's a Beatles album and the story behind the "Paul is dead" hoax, but I'm in the darkest of darks about that Indian link. Be my lightbulb, please. B)
Posted by Toadkiller (Member # 425) on :
Halloween episode - I don't recall the year, they did it well.
Come on page 3!
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
The Raven thing was on the first Treehouse Of Horror, which would have been season 2. I can't quite remember the Indian Graveyard one though.
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
Oh that! South Park, you should know that! Yeah, the pet store owner had drunken a whole bottle of whiskey and pissed at each of the graves out back. That did the trick.
Was it a precious guest star that read it, Psyloins?
Posted by Topher (Member # 71) on :
It was James Earl Jones that narrated, IIRC.
Posted by TSN (Member # 31) on :
I seem to recall that Lisa was the owner of the "chamber", the raven had Bart's head, and the bust of Athena was instead of Homer.
Posted by Manticore (Member # 1227) on :
The bust I think was Marge, and the main character was Homer.
Best...Treehouse...episode...EVER!

The Simpsons and the Beatles: two subjects that I have very little knowledge about. I must spend more time in front of the television and more time tuned into the golden oldies radio station.

A local Los Angeles radio station used to air old radio programs.
Great stuff that.

Yes, the men you deal with do suck. Of course, most of them are gay.

Ooh, very clever.

Well... they are.

Posted by Omega (Member # 91) on :
Well, most of the men of which I am aware in Liz's life do in fact suck, either because they're gay, or because they, well, suck. So yes.

I'm trying to figure out if that's a racial slur or not. If it is, I'm suing. If not, I'm laughing.
Posted by Jay the Obscure (Member # 19) on :
Is American a race?

Well, maybe if you're talking about the original settlers from Asia...

Ultra Sphagnum, I thought you were one of them pigs in that painting, with the top hats and tuxedos, eating dollar-bills from a trough? Man I want to see that painting again but the internet is a harsh mistress...
Manticore: "Though I've never been drunk. Just like the taste."
If you swallow alcohol, you get drunk. No person on this planet excluded. Even if you drink a teaspoon it gets out in your system, whether you notice it or not. Now lighter fluid, that's another beast entirely. I sniff that one by the cans. Hell I was Superman.
Posted by Cartman (Member # 256) on :
"Wait, were you meaning that double entendre or not?"
With Omega, you could always be 100% certain what he meant. But no longer. First that Viagra prank, now this. It is infernally frightening.
Posted by PsyLiam (Member # 73) on :
"American" is a race as long as the little people in my magic box continue to say things like "I'm American".
quote:Originally posted by Nim the Fanciful: If you swallow alcohol, you get drunk. No person on this planet excluded.
Not according to the definition of "drunk" used by, well, everyone I've ever met, where it means "advanced state of inebriation". No-one would claim to be drunk after eating a chocolate liquer.
Posted by Tora Ziyal (Member # 53) on :

Although from his explanation I don't think he realizes what everyone else thinks it meant.

Well, they could claim to be. They just wouldn't be right. It was my last day at school on Friday. I can now catagorically state that mixing the grape and the grain is an extremely bad idea. Although much of the grain part was free courtesy of my teachers so I can't really complain.
Posted by Nim the Fanciful (Member # 205) on :
"No-one would claim to be drunk after eating a chocolate liquer."
No but it goes into your system, and even alcoholically-flavored vanilla ice cream can show up on a police breath-test.
What I meant was that no one is immune, and Manticore simply hasn't been drinking the right way in order to get "lickered". Give me a sombrero, a case of "ol' snake tongue" and a looping tape of Sweet's 'Action', I'll straighten him out.
Because, you know, everybody needs a piece of the action, sort of a main attraction, if you will. Yep, what Manticore needs is satisfaction guaranteed, and no amount of Bud, Coors, Miller or whatever other girlybeer they serve over there will manage to take him to lalaland.
I've had three Long Island Iced Teas in a row without passing out or borphing, but I think I could say that I felt it. You know. Kinda. In my pinky toe. Because I'm a man's man. Hombre. Aroo.
Posted by Toadkiller (Member # 425) on :
He - I thought Manticore was one of the elusive she-Flares....
Posted by LOA (Member # 49) on :
I have a low tolerance for alcohol... VERY low... and yes, there were pictures last night.
And Omega is right... most of my friends are of the Gay and Happy persuasion I don't know why.... none of them were gay when I met them... it's kinda odd, really....
However, men still suck... big time... and I'm still in the depths of despair... though there's a glimmer of hope in the future... ah, yes, there's a light at the end of the tunnel. Faint, but there no less.... I'll keep you updated on that
Though I'm a bit gun shy right now - stupid boys. Last one messed my up BIG time. Grr.
Ah, well.. I must return to working now... though after last night, working is the LAST thing I want to do... instead, I just wanna sleeeeeep.............
