1. just read it. it talks about what the song means.
2. because it's a novelty song. it doesn't have to mean anything, it's just silly lyrics for the sake of being silly
3. it's based off of a hallucination the singer had. there's no more to be learned from it, so asking stupid questions like "why" won't get you anywhere
4. well it's based off of Gravity's Rainbow and its poems so that's what most people get from it

now for the last time stop asking

USE THE THREAD

Moved it there if anyone wants to answer my questions.

I'm pretty sure I'm the only person on the planet that eats tofu because of the taste.

I eat tofu because it's not dead meat. But It tastes fine to me.

Better than bacteria pre-digested soy beans.

Whenever I create a character for a tabletop RPG, I silently dread coming up with a name. Because it's so hard for me. Though it's helped by random name generators and possible name lists in the book.

I always clock out during action/fighting scenes in movies. They literally never engage me. We already know: either the good guy wins because he's the good guy, or the good guy loses because the writers are cockblockers.

Not all the time, sometimes it's done simply as to present the characters in a dire situation, such as in a war film where it seems hopeless.

My sister and I use the adjective "sexy" to describe everything

"Check out how sexy this new food processor I bought is."

"Is this one sexy new houseplant or what?"

"Check out the sexy grade I got on this test!"

When I play Agar.io, I like to spend my time feeding the viruses, and I call them sexy a lot!

There's something I find very appealing about living in a nondescript small town in Flyover Country, and I plan on moving somewhere like that once I graduate school

No offence, but that sounds pretty bad.

But then again, I grew up in a fairly small town where there was nothing much to do. Maybe I'm biased.

I am originally from a town like that in New England. I loved it. Now I live in NYC which is my personal hell

I live in flyover country. I like it just fine. I think living in one of the big urban centers would drive me nuts.

Thing is, in the US, you're never that far from a reasonably sized city, even if you ARE in flyover country, so if you're hankering for the city lights, and you have access to transportation, you can indulge yourself without much trouble.

I live four hours from Detroit. Saginaw and Flint are on the way, but neither is big enough, and the latter is a dying hellhole too.

And why should I care when they're in a hopeless situation? So much of the time, they're still hopeless at the end, having tried entirely for naught. That's why I hate dystopian fiction.

Your earlier post, about not finding the action/fight scenes engaging, doesn't seem to leave much wiggle room. You say you dislike them because either the protagonist is guaranteed to either win...or lose (those really are the only options, unless you want everyone to fight to a continual draw). Or is it the reasons for winning (being the good guy) or losing (arbitrary on the part of the writers) that bother you?

This post makes it sound like it's more than the fight scenes that fail to engage your interest.

I don't see any point in the world sucking if it still sucks at the end. It's like the characters have accomplished nothing, and since they accomplished nothing, they might as well not have even tried.

I'm just kind of curious as to what you'd view as a good path for a story. It wouldn't involve fighting, or any foregone conclusions, like the good guys winning at the end of it all. Does that mean you only like endings where the bad guy wins? Where nobody wins?

I think you should watch something like My Dinner with Andre or Slacker.

It means I don't know what I want.

Michigan is great because Sufjan Stevens cares.

Persona is 2deep4me.

Would you mind explaining?

I am genuinely curious.
