I sorta get why y'all spend so much time living in the past

You can't swing a dead cat without hitting all the cunts and dicks.

 

[JudasIscariot]

You're Plato reincarnated.

 

[CandiCame]

Why is that a turn of phrase? Did people used to just swing dead cats around? To the point that they considered a room too small if they were unable to?

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

I have become unstuck in time.



I was trained on Tralfamadore to recognize time as no more that a Möbius Strip.

I guess, in Latin, that makes me a Möbius Dickis.

Normally, I would ask Byron.

It's a big-band Swing era reference and a dead cat had just imbibed way to much...

Ian is a pretentious sot...



I cannot stand to listen to him drone on about his favorite subject: Ian.

Can I quote you on that?

But he can still play dat flute and put on a great show.

 

[DesEsseintes]

For those of you who rather enjoy living in the past - an idea.

Yeah, I know.



I just prefer my artists and actors to be long dead anymore. Then I can focus on their craft without the vapid patter that they think constitutes great thoughts.

Artists are superior to us mortals. They have insights into the universe they can only dream of. Just ask Rosie O'Donnell.

I just always thought that Billy was crazy and that made me sad.

The original expression was 'No room to swing a cat' but the cat and the (R)SPCA might object if you tried with a live cat.

In the UK at least there has been a considerable change in the amount of space occupied by individual people. Throughout the 19th and early 20th Centuries, poor people often living with 10 or more people in a couple of rooms.

In the 1930s the UK government established minimum standards of space for families with children, and during the 1950s and 1960s most families were close to those standards.

Since the 1990s, average new-build house sizes have shrunk to provide 'affordable housing' but there are more one or two-person households than there were in earlier decades.

In 1910 one branch of my wife's family were living in a 2 bedroom house with a single living room, a kitchen and an outside toilet. There were the two parents and 14 children aged from adults down to toddlers. The total area of living space they had was smaller than the largest one of the four living rooms in our family house. They certainly had no room to swing a live or dead cat.

What you swing isn't the real issue.

Kinda ironic thread title from someone who bumped a year-old thread with this post:

Good times.

GODS POCKET has a wonderful scene where an asshole swings his girlfriends cat by the tail and gets a comma scratched into the head of his penis. LENNY! THATS MISTER FLUFFYS WAY OF SAYING, 'BE GENTLE."

Being blown up in Dresden will do that.

Or being blown on in Liberia.

Are you calling me a cunt?

That's not very nice.

 

[4est_4est_Gump]

Crazy and dead are kinda different...



Although, I have not been dead yet. Wait, yes I have. Twice in the past year, but it was medically induced.

Are there paw marks on your cheek?

 

[phrodeau]

The expression comes from an old Navy term, when shipboard punishment utilized a short multi-lash whip called a cat-o-nine-tails. If the punishment was administered below decks, it had to happen in a compartment with enough room to swing the whip. It became a handy way to describe the size of a room.

No marks. Just my nice squishy pillow.
