I am still sick as a dog –more specifically, as a sick dog — so I thought I’d share the misery with you all by sharing this, what is possibly the most depressing ad for paper cups ever devised. Who knew that the solution to “the problem that has no name” was Dixie cups?
Mr. Show offered an updated take on this ad technique with their classic Mayostard/Mustardayonnaise ad parodies:
Yeah! Looks like they’re bobbing their little heads.
Stoned, headbanging emoticons. It had to happen eventually.
O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o
I can’t tell you how happy I am that worked.
My pleasures are simple ones.
Hey, you guys, typhoidblue has really been on a roll lately. In addition to comparing fucking everything to slavery, she’s also arguing that all societies are matriarchal.
Also, there’s this supposed debate sub on Reddit for feminists and MRAs to hash things out, but there are very few feminists who will participate. They decided collectively that rape jokes and arguments in favor of marital rape are a-okay, but that calling MRAs “misters” is a slur and will get your comment deleted, putting you on the train to ban-ville.
I can’t imagine why they don’t get more feminists to participate.
Oh also, free men in classical Rome could only be farmers or soldiers. That’s also something I learned from typhonblue recently. Slaves were freer than free men, because they could hold down a greater variety of jobs.
Here endeth your history lesson of the day.

I’m still wishing there was a :kitty: icon.
They have ’em on Ravelry, why can’t we have ’em here???
Has anyone here ever heard cats snoring? Because that’s what my cats are doing right now and it’s the sweetest thing ever. They’re also curled up towards each other so their foreheads are touching.
Yep, my cat snores all the time. She’s really loud too, I can hear her from the other room.
“… she’s (typhoidblue) also arguing that all societies are matriarchal.”
Errr, in the insect world, sure, it happens a lot. It doesn’t even happen in film that much — with some exceptions. Like that shitty Nic Cage version of “The Wicker Man,” in which the bizarro island community seemed to be modled after bees.
Let’s see, Wonder Woman’s Paradise Island…yep, matriarchal. And all those old timey black and white Amazon Women on the Moon flicks. It never failed in those movies. Male astronauts would land on the all-women planet — where no man has existed for thousands of years — and pow! All the amazon chicks would immediately want to tear the male astronauts’ clothes off and ravish them. Please. Didn’t those screenwriters from the 40s and 50s ever hear of lesbians?
O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o o_O O_o
O_o I’VE BEEN FRAMED! o_O

Rats! I wanted to make a frame of emoticons. Oh, well, they’re still fun.
My current kitties don’t snore, but dearly departed Twinkie was a terrible snorer. And drooler. Such a drooler.
Here are the kitties right now: http://i.imgur.com/ac6cQfi.jpg
:bear:
Sorry, no kitties, but there’s a bear. :: points up ::
Testing, just in case there are secret cat emoticons:
:cat:
:kitty:
🙁
My cat purrs and snores simultaneously sometimes. It is good for drowning out things, like perhaps typhoidblue.
So basically what we need is a giant cat who’s as bored with her as most people are.
Yes. A giant bored cat is definitely the solution.
:burrito:
Maybe if we’re extra persuasive we can get it to puke on her shoes too.
Cool, there’s a burrito emoticon!
Emilygoddess: because that’s what he threw around immediately after being challenged on one of his “reasonable” responses. I should have quoted.
Although it could also pass for a hairball.
How is it possible that there’s a :burrito: but not a :kitteh: ? What kind of world is this?
I can only wonder which came first: the mayostard advertisements, or Dijonnaise.
Okay. I can do more than wonder. Two quick searches reveal that Dijonnaise was introduced in 1992 while the Mr. Show was first aired in 1995.
Health update: My bronchitis symptoms are better, the cough has gone away almost completely. Still feeling run down, sore throaty, migrainey; not sure when I’ll be back to posting.
In other important news: I like mayo and gay men who aren’t total assholes; I don’t like miracle whip and gay men who are total assholes. (NOTE: My policy towards gay men also applies to every other person regardless of gender or sexual orientation.)
🙂 o_O O_O 😛 😐 :/
hey most of those worked! how do you make a green-faced sick one?
Ah, but if a giant cat gets bored, this can happen.
Cats snoring – most of ours have. Fribs is a super-snorer, I can hear her from another room. Mads snores even when she’s awake. Well, more or less awake.
Whereas I don’t like miracle whip OR mayo, but I do like gay men. Our hivemind seems to be broken again.
Is that an envelope emoticon?
Since the unfortunate reality is that some feminists are intolerant of gay men (be disappointed if you want, I know the vast majority are not like that, but I also know extreme opinions and intolerance tend to show up far more often on the internet), acceptance is a good way of determining whether or not a website is rational and readable. Yes, I am gay, and no, I have no intention of trolling anyone. I was honestly wondering what this site’s position on the matter was. Also I didn’t feel like lurking because I very seldom read blogs. Sorry.
What? We don’t have >:[ but we have BURRITOS? WordPress, you’re WEIRD.
😛 :bear: :horse: :unicorn: :duck: :rabbit:
If you’re looking on the internet, you’ll probably also find feminists who are intolerant of feminists.
WordPress doesn’t seem to have a puking emoticon. I know Skype does.
>-I
:kitten:
WORDPRESS Y U NO LIKE KITTENS
Yay, David walks among us
:mrpink:
And they get free room and bored too! Lucky ducks!
Is there a duck emoticon?
duck:
Unimaginative: holy balls, that sounds like some shit my employer would pull. Good luck on the job hunt if you do it.
:cat:
🙄 ❓ ❗ 😳
No cats? BUNK
Yay! Those all worked! My night is now complete.
Two more:
