Oh, no doubt about it.

A friend is re-editing a mostly-unfunny film to make some cash on the side and... there is a mostly-unfunny scene about a man getting hit in the nuts with something and... I just can't get over the fact that the object hitting him in the nuts clearly hits the dude in the dick and not the nuts. Which... hurts but is just not as world-shatteringly painful as getting hit in the nuts.

And it just... kills me. It kills me in my brain. I can't get over it.

EDIT: Also, I guess it is telling of me that the picture does not cause me to re-examine my own over-thinking, rather it causes me to want to read whatever pamphlet the Easter Bunny is handing out. The Easter Bunny went to all the trouble of painting a sign, the least I can do is consider his theory.

"Hm, the Easter Bunny thinks that the government allowed it to happen, thinking it was only going to be a hostage crisis that could be blamed on Iraq but Osama double-crossed him and used the planes as missles. Well, he IS the Easter Bunny, he's probably privy to some inside information due to his connections with The North Pole..."

Listen.Seriously. I want you to go on a fiber bender. Just drink lots of fluids and eat so much fiber that you will clear out your system. Raw oats, okra, kefir, grapes, bananas -- lots of bananas! -- kale, spinach, bran, cabbage. Just hell of a fiber bender. Drink lots and lots of water throughout.

Then, sit back, relax, clear your mind -- if you get my drift -- When you're done you will find all those bad, obsessive qualities swept away.

That's right. Eat fiber, relax and for God's sake avoid prose written by David Foster Wallace (particularly "Inifinite Jest"; that fucker will be to your obsessed little brain what the last groove in Sgt Peppers' Lonely Hearts Club Band vinyl was for the stylus and I don't care if my convoluted analogy makes no sense to any of you).

Sadly, the only fibrous item I've ever discovered that can actually stop my brain from churning renders me useless for anything other than listening to Pink Floyd for the rest of the day, is illegal and is mostly out of my current budget range.

The last concern, of course, is the only one that is actively holding me back.

This has nothing to do with the current conversation, but David Foster Wallace is a professor at my college. Unfortunately, I've never seen him walking around or talked to him.

If you do, give him a couple swift kicks in the crotch for us.

I wonder if when he converses¹ he has odd mannerisms².

1. In person.
2. Namely, oral footnotes.

The TOUAMBIEs are so hardcore underground that they only exist in our imaginations.

Man someone strap littlefallsmets to a chair in a quiet room and make him read "Run Spot, Run" for like a day.  Try to slow down his mind.  The dude just outputs too much goddamn text.



Back on topic - I love Beef's expression in panel 4.  He's just thinking, "The man was in Apollo 13 too, I should have said that. I should have said that."

Chair in a quiet room and Tom Jones music videos on endless repeat.

I think it would be a splendid twist. Currently I'm so used to the Underworld paradox just working smoothly... at some point it would be a great deus ex machina for a human to wander into an improbably-complicated achewood arc and, apropos nothing, just bug the fuck out. Brain completely melted from talking cats in thongs to a stuffed bear cradling his bong while the other stuffed bear films a squir -- OH MY GOD WHAT IS THE SQUIRREL DOING???

ok, does yours just infinitely re-play the last groove? My friend told me that, and I told my dad and he said it was a lie. But... I have never actually thought to check on the actual album.

HOLY CHRIST IS THAT AN ALIVE STUFFED ANIMAL

Yes! Just like that.

From the land before alt-text no less... thanks for the history lesson!
