The Isolated Blurt Thread XVI: The Butthurt Starts Here

I think it's funny when you do that. Like you're finding the 'truth' when really you're just finding agenda-driven crap.
 
'The executioner insists his breakfast omelette be prepared only from those eggs precisely on the point of blossoming into chicks and, prompt at eight, consumes with relish a yellow, feathered omelette subtly spiked with claw. Gretchen, his tender-hearted daughter, often jumps and starts to hear the thwarted cluck from a still gelid, scarcely calcified beak about to be choked with sizzling butter, but her father, whose word is law because he never doffs his leather mask, will eat no egg that does not contain within it a nascent bird. That is his taste. In this country, only the executioner may indulge his perversities.'

From 'The Executioner's Beautiful Daughter', by Angela Carter.
Thank you for sharing this. I want to read the short story collection now.

Imagine being in the boardroom of a fortune 100 company. 18-20 people in the room, with a long conference table and speakers up and down the table connected to the phone in the center. You are participating in 4 vendor finalist meetings, each meeting 2 hours long. A long boring day. I am sitting in front of the phone and the last vendor of the day asks me to dial their conference line for remote participants. He reads the number I dial....

From the phone and every speaker blares, in a sexy voice " you are now one step away from hot, wet, teens, wanting to talk to you"

Yep that was my day yesterday.

Fireworks? It is one of my favourite ever story collections: she writes so sensually and so beautifully about just about everything. I'm sure you'll appreciate it.

In other news, I seem to have long since passed through the ultimate tiredness barrier and am now in a looking glass world of strange clarity, albeit with a head like a slow explosion.
 
Sigh. The guys commentary was priceless but goddamn I hate that Trisha chick. Like, FUCK.

How do you know her name? Please tell me she isn't a friend of yours? :eek:

Also, I have a new theory about her and people like her, who think out loud. What you're hearing isn't speech, as such - it's her actual thoughts. We humans have neurons and synapses, working at more or less the speed of light, and it's an internal process. But that sort of proto-humanoid can only think at the speed of speech. Sometimes they can even talk more quickly than a human, and we may be fooled into being temporarily impressed. But it's just their larynx substituting for a frontal lobe. And when she stops talking, of course, that simple reptilian hind-brain shuts down altogether, which is why she cannot listen to anyone else.

Watch any one of the countless 'Housewives Of..' programmes and tell me I'm wrong. :D

I agree with all of that and throw in the fact that she just likes to hear herself talk, which is just as puzzling as the rest of her. She has a youtube channel with TONS of subscribers so she thinks she's amazing but I don't think she reads all of the hate comments on every one of her videos or she'd have a clue.

She's the worst kind of person because no matter who says what, there's no talking any sense to her. She'll always be in that shiny, pink bubble where she's not the dumbest person on Earth and no one can pop it. That pisses me off.
