The Idea Ball

[zydrate]

OK, here's how this goes. We're all sitting in a circle in a dim room while relaxing music is playing. One person has the ball and tells everyone her idea then tosses the ball to a random person and they tell everyone what they think or what idea they have on their mind.

At the each of each post, you must end with *tosses the ball to the next person*

Please no fights allowed. If you must fight, do so in the BOXING RING or take it to PM. This is all just for some light hearted fun.

I'll start:

Regarding Starship Troopers: If the top part that was sticking out of the main ship was destroyed when it hit a meteor, did they use that example to redesign the ship later on?

*tosses the ball to the next person*

I dunno about the meteor but I really wanna know what was behind the censored bits of Starship Troopers...even if it did make me cringe just with the sound effects heh! Cool thread Zy!

Anyone else amused by the fact that magicJack advertises the same service as cable phone service for 19.95 a year, but what they don't tell you is you need broadband (cable) internet service for 60 bucks a month to use it?

*tosses the ball to the next person*

Hmmm... you should've looked at the FAQ on the web site! It states you must have DSL, cable or other high speed Internet service. Can you get Windstream where you are? That's only $19.99 a month around here. (I think.)

What I think is pretty cool about the service is if you have a friend overseas... buy a magicJack with a local number here, ship it to the friend, and voila! No international phone charges!

*catches again* Doesn't matter to me. I'm on cable anyways, and pay about that for phone service already. *tosses the ball again*

Oh...someone needs to send me one of those! Why the hell don't they have them here?! Whadda rip!!

Well, I think the one true miracle is the Sham wow

*tosses the ball to the next person*

 

[dragonrazor]

*catches the ball* Except that nearly a year before anyone had ever seen that stupid infomercial claiming that it was only available through the infomercial, Walmart was selling them. And not cheap, generic knockoffs but that actual brand.

*tosses the ball again*

 

[monique_minx]

Don't even talk about that Sham Wow fucking shit, oh my god they brought that here and that ad is so fucking annoying that it's not even funny!

*catches the ball again* So, a lot of socalled children's stories are really not meant for kids, or rather, are meant to serve a different purpose than entertainment. Take Alice in Wonderland for instance. The Rabbit Hole is a euphemism for Death. Most people don't realize that. Alice was written to scare children into behaving. Or how about Cinderella. Did you know that one of the evil stepsisters actually chopped off her toes to try on the glass slipper? Or that their punishment for trying to deceive the prince was to have their eyes cut out?

*tosses the ball along*

 

[WaywardHeart]

*catches the ball*

The rabbit hole is not a euphemism for death, its a euphemism for exploring the unknown realms in ones own mind. To explore the inner light and chaos of creativity, illustrating the possibility of becomeing lost in such a confusing maze as the human intellect.

On that note, I agree with everything else you said about fairy tales.

*tosses*

 

[dragonrazor]

*catches the ball* Actually, Alice was written as a story in which the main character died before the story began. It was changed by publishing companies and Disney to something less sinister. The hentai manga series Alice in Sexland is actually closer to the original idea than the modern Alice in Wonderland is.

*tosses the ball again*

 

[WaywardHeart]

*catches*

I beleive the facts in literature are secondary to the goal of said literature. The imagery and symbolism of that story is consistent with jungian psychological archetypes, the point of which is the expression of the individual and the creative impulse.

*tosses*

 

[dragonrazor]

*catches* That is true. However, Disney and others like them tend to usurp stories and make them kid-friendly where they would otherwise not be. At least it's not M Night's Whatatwist Syndrome *tosses again*

 

[WaywardHeart]

*catches*

Have to agree with you there.

*tosses*

 

[dragonrazor]

*catches* I still need to find a couple of sexy bunnygirls *tosses again*

Well, despite it all, Johnny Depp wasn't as hot in Alice as he was in Sweeny Todd

*tosses the ball to the next person*

 

[WaywardHeart]

*catches*

While that is very true, I did have an explosive orgasm when he danced at the end of Alice and Wonderland.

*tosses*

*catches* The best version I've seen (though I liked the SyFy Alice) was the hentai manga Alice in Sex Land and its sequel, Alice Extreme.

I am trying to enjoy my one day off while wondering instead of what I should do today, how long I can go back to bed for.

maybe a movie marathon would be entertaining lol

[dragonrazor]

*catches the ball* It amuses me that the term Booby Trap stems from attempts to catch the bird known as the Booby, which is native to the caribbean.

*tosses*

Can we go back to Johnny Depp?
