well i must be, if i can flip you all the bird eleven times in a row without you knowing it, use the word gaggle in the appropriate context, wear glasses, find waldo, and appreciate the genius of debbie does dallas and jesus christ superstar (true cinema and theater, respectfully).

A Dr. Suess book: $9
Where's Waldo: $10
I Spy: $10.74

Has it always been this expensive? I used to have tons of all those. My kids will not have the pleasure of this "reading" stuff until they're paying for it themselves.

Savage Clone 07.29.2006 06:53 PM

I have "The Lorax" by Dr Seuss on 16mm film. That was free, but finding a working projector is probably gonna cost me more than 9 bucks.

because then the spirit of my faeces is able to roam freely throughout the house before i flush, which would not be the case if the door was closed, obviously. and because of the glorius essence of my shit (the glory of which my housemates are entirely ignorant of, and unlikely to be receptive to) i think it is only right to leave the door open when possible.

Savage Clone 07.29.2006 09:28 PM

You are a vile human being.

atari 2600 07.29.2006 09:30 PM

He cannot be serious about the daemon faeces ritualis*.
Um, I had a friend that stole a projector from a hallway on a college campus. We decked out this thousand square foot basement to his house for parties & would show Godzilla movies mainly. One Halloween, (pre-operative Popper hehe) Blues Traveler (I am not a fan) stayed there after their Georgia Theater show.

One thing you might try Savage Clone, if you haven't thought of this already, is contacting your local university & see if they have any surplus projectors in storage they could sell you for cheap.

^A classic.

Savage Clone 07.30.2006 06:01 PM

I think there might be a K-Tel compilation of 80s hair metal called "Klassic Kock."

Toilet & Bowels 07.30.2006 06:14 PM

i'd like to point out i wasn't entirely sober when i posted that stuff last night.

HaydenAsche 07.30.2006 06:14 PM

Greatest thread this week. Bravo.

Indeed you are. Interesting is also the fact that you've pointed out several times in the past how you're disgusted by excrement, but despite that you're the one who talks about faecal matter more than anyone else here. It's just like Glice and his fascination with cocks.
I'm going to get that $5 book about Freud I saw at the bookstore.

Oh yeah, I've lived alone about a year now and I haven't taken a shite with doors open even once. I'm paranoid about the people in the building on the opposite side of the road seeing me through the windows (although the distance between the buildings is probably 50 metres or so... but still).

Toilet & Bowels 07.30.2006 06:52 PM

nothing horrifies me more than scat porn, yet nothing satisfies me more than a sizeable & healthy bowel movement. i believe that excrement should be deposited and flushed, not smeared over one's body, or worse, ingested.

Pah. You clearly don't understand the notion of a leitmotif. It adds a certain jouissance to proceedings. Fascination? Cock, I say.

Savage Clone 07.31.2006 02:39 PM

Please not to say "jouissance" in my presence again.

Thank you.

This thread is so weird. It fluctuates between pretentious intellectualism and pretentious trashiness. How so very interesting. And on a Sonic Youth board too! :)

Rob Instigator 07.31.2006 02:50 PM

It behooves me to expound on my general belief that this thread captures the true gestalt of the sonic youth forum

In my youth,when political actvity was my daily routine,someone told me that intellectuals are the first people to be sterminated in a war(as well as homosexuals of course).

alyasa 07.31.2006 03:00 PM

Were it so, that for every intellectual pretension that someone has to suffer through; eardrums melting to tallow, and blood streaming like hot wax from ripped cochleas; psyches marked indelibly by warped, twisted, psychotic, inherently egoistical prattle that tears at your soul like inane loons, mindless and unrelenting; God lets an angel drift to Earth from Heaven to warm our hearths and touch our hearts and take the pain away, to soothe like a nourishing balm of our hurt and despair at such pretentious intellectualism. Were it so...

No one's gonna sterminate me, not without me biting someone's finger off...

I have already made plans for a swift sex change in such a case.

alyasa 07.31.2006 03:04 PM

Effective, though that might hurt a bit...

Cantankerous 07.31.2006 03:05 PM

i'm getting testy, someone tie me off. T&B, i am looking in your direction.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2006 04:01 PM

tie you off? is that some kind of american youth slang?

or are you talking about this?
 

touch me i'm sick 07.31.2006 04:04 PM

haha

Savage Clone 07.31.2006 04:37 PM

I would have no problems with people posting more pix along these lines.
Sayin'.

me neither. i found one i like on google, but it has a bit of vag and i'm not sure if it is suitable for some of the younger & more demure readers of this board.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2006 05:37 PM

still, this one only shows tits

To me it does not sound like Truncated is jealous, it sounds like she has had a bad experience or two in academic discussions and is upset by the way people present their knowledge of certain things as a way to say that they are better than others. In my experience, these "academics" soon find they have few people who wish to listen to them, or people who they view as worthy to listen to them.

Academic discussions are amazing...you just have to find the right people to have them with.

I haven't had 'bad experiences' in academic discussions; nor do I doubt their potential worth.

It's quite simple really:

Pompous pseudo-academics are annoying.
I don't care how much you know, or how obscure that information is. You want a cookie? Get one from your mommy.
You talk too much at parties.
You think you look dashing in horrid tweed combinations.
You 'make love,' and don't know how to fuck.
You develop funny affected accents.
You style your facial hair.
You spend either far too much or not nearly enough on clothing/hygiene.
You are egocentric.
You're boring. Trust me, people who don't read Harold Bloom for fun don't want to hear about him.

In short, most other people piss me off.

Let's get back to the tits, eh?

Savage Clone 07.31.2006 07:39 PM

Yeah, everybody likes tits.

Toilet & Bowels 07.31.2006 07:43 PM

do you think this one is too rude?

 

Savage Clone 07.31.2006 07:44 PM

Certainly not, though I personally prefer full suspension.

touch me i'm sick 07.31.2006 07:44 PM

that's some serious knot work

yeah, full suspension is cool but i kind of like the more sadistic nature of this one in that she has to balance on one foot.

Savage Clone 07.31.2006 07:46 PM

Indeed.
