the ladies on the internet

i think it's more or less impossible to address the subject of women on the internet

if you address that there are some women in here, then you run the risk of being called a creep. if you call someone a creep, then you run the risk of being called a white knight. if you call someone a white knight, then you run an increased risk of being called a creep, etc, etc

there's pretty much no way out, and all some girl has to do to start the whole thing again is mention that she's a girl.

this is why they're working on internet2

darmok and your mom at tinagra

imagine trying to come up with a contextual language like the tamarians for your own life and experiences. i think it'd go something like this:

"hey man, what are you doing after school?"

kris, his senior prom night

"well, since you're free, let's hit up arby's"

kris at steak and ale, his bowels unfurled

"yeah, i get that way around a beef 'n cheddar. let's just watch a movie"

kris at the movie theater, watching cloverfield

"cloverfield rocks, let's rent it!"

kris at here talking to you, his head nods

"why don't you just say yes?"

kris at here talking to you, his shoulders shrug

"no wonder about your prom night, dude"

oh yeaaahhh

mega-fives should only be rendered to those who deserve it. if your friend does something only worthy of a high five and you give him a mega-five, he will carry around latent guilt for the rest of his life. he will always seek to do something worthy of the mega-five, and he may forever fall short. it is not an easy hole to crawl out of. use them with care

sawn

the saw movies fascinate me. i do not like them but i read about the traps. i know it's morbid curiosity, but isn't that all saw is? it's like a death proof-of-concept. i don't care about the detectives and the crimes and the clues

in fact, all i would need to be happy with saw would be a guy standing in front of a blueprint going "okay, the dude is in here but he is chained together with live badgers." that's a pretty good idea, a saw trap pitch session

i think it'd go a little something like this

"check it -- this is seriously going to blow your mind. the guy wakes up and he is chained by both arms to the ceiling. he's swinging free. then jigsaw comes on the screen. he says this:

hello. i'd like to play a game. you made a career out of peeing on your neighbor's rose bushes because you didn't like her. now pee is the only thing that can save you. the question is, how much urine are you willing to lose? make your choice.

then the screen turns off and the guy sees a little cup below him that is rigged to a pee-detector. he has to aim super-careful to fill the cup and then the chains will release him if he can do it! if he can't then the room fills with pee and he drowns in pee

no? no good? okay, here's a better one

a girl wakes up in what looks like her bedroom. the tv comes on and it's jigsaw. he says:

hello. i'd like to play a game. you were always the popular one in school, thinking you're better than everyone, that you were alone in your greatness. now you really are alone. live or die, make your choice

so she goes outside and it's her house, but her family is gone. she tries to call a friend but no one picks up. she goes outside and knocks on her neighbors' doors, but no one comes

turns out that jigsaw actually killed everyone else on earth for this loneliness trap! what a trip, right

no? not possible you say

okay, what if jigsaw builds a replica earth that's empty and puts her there and that's why she's alone

okay, next

a guy wakes up and he's sitting at a table. there is a bowl of soup on it and a spoon. attached to the spoon is a pistol

'hello, i'd like to play a game. you always slurp your soup too loud and it's bugging your girlfriend. in this soup along with the noodles and carrots you'll find some bullets at the bottom of the bowl. you have to find these bullets to load the gun with. once you do you have to shoot yourself because if you don't before time runs out i'll send a wild dog into the room'

wait what... you're asking why he wouldn't just use the bullets and the gun on the wild dog? hrm"

whew, that was exhausting. i guess i better leave making death-fetish pornography to the experts.

i mean horror movies, sorry, i got confused
