I now have an OFFICIAL CERTIFICATE which states OFFICIALLY that I am tuberculosis-free! HOORAY! I will frame it and put it on my wall! (That's a lie I will send it to the UK Border Control people so that they will let me into their country.) (SAME DIFFERENCE

Also ALSO ALSO Frederique and I invented an emoticon for "a goat with an earring" after watching the lolarious Disney Hunchback of Notre-Dame film together last night

See, for most people that would be the pinnacle of silliness (and by 'pinnacle' I mean 'thin high spire with an army of tiny gargoyles on the way up', each of them representing one of the times a. we quoted the same thing at the same time and/or b. I misheard it in a mildly disconcerting way ... or maybe they're all the times Phoebus said 'ah um' or Frollo was clenching something purple or Esmeralda made that 'you have got to be kidding me' face). No further ascent possible. Reason begins to set in after that, or unreason to set out, if that's a word. NOT SO WITH US. WE WENT FURTHER.

(Also, DID YOU REALISE that the man who voiced Meryl Streep Frollo was in "Twin Peaks"? He's the old man Lana 'kills' by sleeping with him [yes, this is during the bad part]. WHAT ABOUT THAT.)

What was the book you were lookin' for?

NO INDEED. WE LIVE BALANCED PRECARIOUSLY ATOP THE HIGHEST POINT ON THE SKYSCRAPER OF ABSURDITY it's pretty much the best place to be and it has a LOT of pillars

(OMG I DID NOT! That's ... hm. I am actually not sure how I feel about that!)

SOMETHING ABOUT WALT WHITMAN, preferably.

(ALSO ALSO I found a site w/ a billion screencaps and I was going through them to find things to make icons out of and I clicked on this one and NOW I AM UPSET ABOUT THEIR EYES ALL OVER AGAIN)

[lucieandco]

I would have to agree! (How do we get more than one pillar onto a point?) (Never mind. I do not doubt we are capable of that.)

I SEE.

They were disconcerting! (And that giant head in the high up room.)

I DID, HOWEVER, ALSO FIND THIS PICTURE. Which is just the best picture of the best character in the ENTIRE FILM, EVER.

[lilpocketninja]

that is a pretty rad emoticon and also I want to go to that store.

[hammster]

fff you should come visit me and I can show it to you!!

NGL laughed out loud at "HORRIBLE BAG OF DICKS." Not least because "bag of dicks" will forever remind me of the C. elegans bag-of-worms that I once found in lab (see worm B, where the eggs were never laid and the progeny hatched inside the parent).

Uh...ew? Just like Hitchens?

[hammster]

"BAG OF DICKS" is one of my favorite insults 8D!! It's so. Visual.

... Ohhh that is deeply unpleasant

JUST LIKE HITCHENS

I see that we understand each other.

On a not-really-related note, I have similar sentiments towards Dawkins, Harris, etc, but were you aware that Dawkins' voice is ridiculously beautiful when pumped through autotune? (Go to 0:44 in "Our Place in the Cosmos" and be. amazed.)

[hammster]

OH NOOOO I fucking love Richard Dawkins forever do we have to fight now :( :( :(

..I mean I accept that he can be a total smug douchebag but idk at least he knows what he is talking about I guess

I just want him to be my really smug uncle or something tbh

Can you read the Sephardi script and translate it to Ashkenazi? I'm not familiar with Sephardi script.

Maybe this could help you? NOW YOU HAVE ME INTRIGUED.

[hammster]

AH! That is an interesting idea, but my design isn't actually going to have script in it at ALL; it's only using the designs. The issue I am having is whether it's too appropriative to nick designs from a... parallel Jew-culture, you know? I feel like I ought to be using ones I can legitimately claim as my own. Or at least... sort of my own. XD

[loototherah]

Dude, at the end of the day, we all call ourselves Jews, y'know? I don't think any Sephardic Jew would look at your tattoo and be like "BLAAAASPHEMMMYYY THAT IS MINE"

unless they're like "btw jews are not supposed to get tattoos"

in which case they have a point

but shhhhh :D

[scissorbite]

MMMM TATTOOS my favourite food group.

Keep us all updated on the tattoo development front, I am MOST INTERESTED!

[hammster]

Pfft i cannot promise it will be interesting on account of I have been developing this idea for like FOUR YEARS??? but I can show you the design ideas I sketched out a couple years back that I have uploaded if you want
