so that's how you like it, eh?

What are you doing with that pillow?!

A more comforta8le version of a facepalm.

I wish that when I was younger and whenever one of my parents said "Because I Said So", I would respond with:

"Eh, sorry! Invalid answer! Please try again with a response that actually holds water."

I probably would have said that if it wouldn't have gotten me in really bad trouble.

I wouldn't care. Any not-reason masquerading as a reason is no reason to do anything.

Granted, they probably would have actually come back with a reason that was probably horrible, to which I would have said "Ding ding ding ding! Now THAT'S a reason!" and have gone to do it before they started wanting to beat me.

Discipline is a cruel thing. It's doing something to make someone hate you just so they'll do what you want. Sometimes it is necessary, but it's no friendship-builder.

It's actually not a good idea to try to be a friend with your children.

It doesn't really work out.

I know. But it helps if they still somehow like you.

Ah, the parent-child relationship is a terrible one.

Indeed.

Well, at least if done properly, it works out in the end.

Specifically, a hearse. Because duh.

More specifically, because it hearse the most.

Eh? Eh?

I get it!

...I was just listening to the original version of that before I checked here XD

Blarrrggghh

Aside from being a ridiculously blunt way of flirting with someone ^note which is the whole point of the blog, Straight White Boys Sexting, this amuses me because of the unintentionally ambiguous lack of punctuation. In fact, let's analyze the many ways to parse "Hunt fish drink fuck and work out":

1) Hunt, fish, drink, fuck, and work out: The most obvious interpretation - This man is an avid huntsman and fisherman, and also enjoys alcohol, procreation, and exercise.

2) Hunt fish, drink fuck, and work out. Fishing can be described as "hunting for fish", so "hunt fish" could simply be a redundant way of saying "fish". "drink fuck" is decidedly more ambiguous: He could enjoy consuming a beverage that happens to have a highly unusual brand name. Or "fuck" could refer to a person - "fuck" as a noun can mean "contemptible person" or "partner in sexual intercourse", so he could be claiming to consume his enemies or lovers, speaking either literally or metaphorically. "Fuck" could also refer to the act of intercourse itself, which, being an abstract concept, could only be consumed metaphorically.

3) Hunt fish drink, fuck and work, out. He spends his time searching for an elusive beverage known as "fish drink", procreating at his place of employment, and exposing the secrets of others.

5) Hunt fish drink, fuck and work. Out! Similar to the above, however, "out" is not a third activity he engages in, but an interjection. After stating his interests, he brusquely dismisses his questioner. Or perhaps "out" is simply a sendoff in the manner of radio communications.

4. Hunt fish-drink fuck, and work out. At one point in this man's life, someone played a prank on him, putting a live fish in his drink. He did not respond well to this practical joke, and now devotes much of his spare time to searching for this contemptible person who contaminated his beverage with marine life, or "fish-drink fuck". Perhaps the two listed activities are directly related - if he plans to ambush and physically assault this person, he may have developed an exercise regimen solely for the purpose of making sure he can best them in hand-to-hand combat.

I laughed out loud. Thanks for that.

Commas are the difference between "let's eat, guys" and "let's eat guys."

Don't forget the Oxford comma. "I was at the party with the strippers, George Bush and Barack Obama."

That's so funny.

omggg

How is it that I always get into discussions about semantics despite my utter loathing for semantics?

Could it be that...I actually like definitions of things? DX Oh it would be so horrible...

No wait, I'm sure now that I do hate definitions. Because they are broad and sweeping and vulnerable to change so much that they start losing worth.

If ever there was a language where all words had only one definition each then everybody in the world should adopt that language.

Derp derp derp◊

You're just going to spam that everywhere, aren't you?

always and forever

so that's how you like it, A?
