Well, this little joke went over well on Twitter so I thought I’d post it here too.
Here’s one that didn’t go over quite as well. But it might just come to haunt your dreams.

Not just gold. Liquid fucking gold!
For those who are unfamiliar with the infamous rant
https://www.wehuntedthemammoth.com/2013/09/04/pickup-artist-my-seed-is-liquid-gold-and-i-dont-give-it-out-like-its-god-damn-tap-water/
I recommend that everyone read the whole thing, but here are my favorite excerpts
@ occasional reader
“The belling of the semen in the night” cracked me up. And then reminded me off the story about belling the cat.
@ Yutolia and Alan
Lion poop scent works on deer too, even in the UK where deer have not scented wild lions for millennia. There’s a spray called “Silent Roar” – I’ve known foresters who used it to keep deer off the plantings.
So up here in Canadaland, local top secret file forgetter Maxime Bernier has decided to play dog whistle games about Canada’s multiculturalism, calling various stories about removal of a Sir John A. Macdonald statue in Victoria and the renaming of a park in Winnipeg to fearmonger about “extreme multiculturalism” in a series of tweets.
The timing of this is curious as it’s just causing problems for the Conservative Party on the eve of their platform convention. If I were a cynic, I’d imagine it was Bernier trying to boost himself in the party while challenging Scheer’s leadership in a race he placed second in. However, it has certainly earned a harsh rebuke from Liberal and NDP officials, as well as some former Tory stalwarts like Tony Clement.
I know wading into comment sections is a mistake, but they offer a glimpse into what is justifying the sentiment and the Tory base really do believe there’s some kind of migrant “crisis” caused by the recent arrivals from the US. And I can only blame both the right-wing media for that perception, along with the Trudeau government for mishandling refugee accommodations. StatsCan reports that more asylum seekers arrived in Canada in previous years, almost 10,000 more in 2008 than arrived last year. Yet it didn’t get the breathless reporting about a “crisis.”
Trudeau’s failures on this portfolio only make the other half of this dog-whistle all the more absurd: that Trudeau is some kind of ultra-leftist bent on destroying the fabric of Canadian society with an flux of scary honour-killing Muslims! Boogily boogily! Bernier targeted Trudeau specifically, invoking the same fears of “barbaric cultural practices” that Kellie Leitch invoked when she ran for Conservative leader, positioning the Conservative Party as some kind of vanguard for women and the LGBT community in contrast with perceived antiquated attitudes to those groups on the part of religious fundamentalists, which rings incredibly hollow in the wake of reports that abortion will be on the table for the Tory platform convention and Doug Ford’s rollback of LGBT inclusion in the sex ed curriculum. It’s like they can’t face the fact that they actually have more in common with Muslim fundamentalists than they do with Canadian secular pluralism and just hope the fear of brown people is enough that their base won’t notice.
The Conservative Party is just becoming the Republican Party a little more every day. Been doing so since the Reform merger, but now it’s coming to a head. Trudeau really needs to get his shit together if he’s going to put this nonsense to bed before 2019. I just worry his tepid centrism might not be enough.
@WWTH – That might be my favorite WHTM post ever. The whole rant is just *chef’s kiss*.
Nobody tell him his genetic line is also full of lazy, bon-bon eating women.
Buttercup:
Well, you can, but you wouldn’t want it on your wall afterwards.
Sarumangry’s dramatic reading of the “liquid fucking gold” rant is still one of the greatest things I’ve heard on the Internet.
RIP Aretha
@rubyogi,
We have a cat who came to us as a stray who refused the box and would only poop on wool rugs (not on the artificial ones) so we bought a piece of wool carpeting and put it in a litter box. Did the trick. The peeing is a completely different and unfortunate issue.
TMI incoming!
The only thing that I’ve noticed about my semen is that it stains like billy-o. Also, once it dries on a piece of clothing it makes the impacted part of clothing very stiff and brittle. So…not very much like gold, in other words. Can’t say that I blame anyone who’s not interested in it… 😀
TMI over.
I also read the Coca Cola machine paper as NOICE. It took me a while to realize the No I. C. E. thing. I blame the fact that I’m not a USAian.
Also, RIP Aretha Franklin. You were the best part of the original Blues Brothers movie.
Every time i see Stephan Molyneux i just want to run directly into a wall.
Christ yes, Aretha was incredible in that Blues Brothers scene. Well, she was just generally terrific, but the cafe scene is outstanding.
Ah, Aretha. Thanks for increasing the quality of life on this planet for a little while. RIP
Katamount – I saw your question on Firefox in the other thread and wanted to say that I switched over to Chrome in June because the last FF update deleted all of my bookmarks for some reason. Don’t know if it’s related, though.
@ wwth;
yeah, that rant…. and all the rants about bloodline…. As a mammotheer a while back so eloquently wrote…”If my proudest accomplishment was my white skin… I wouldn’t brag….”
“My great-great grandfather built the Eiffel Tower! You should be proud of ME for that!!!”
My paternal heritage includes a guy who stowed away on a boat to get to the U.S. from Ireland… and illegally immigrated… does that count for anything?
E.T.A. Shermer… “Skeptics” don’t talk much about the problematic issue of patriarchy in the ideas they rail against… cuz inside, too many of them are entitled pigs
re: Blues Brothers… a piece I wrote here a year or so ago….
That’s my experience, too. I will suggest that when the cat shits on the rug again, don’t just throw the poop away. Instead, place it in the litter box. Then, every now and again, pick up your cat and place her in front of the litter box. Make it clear where it is and what it smells like.
Basically, you have to train your cat the same way you would if it was a kitten. If she’s used to pooping outside, setting up a litter box won’t automatically help, because she probably has no idea what it’s for. Rug or litter box; it’s all the same to a cat.
Where do people even find stuff like lion poop and coyote pee?
Do you buy it at the local zoo?
“Noice” makes me think of Brooklyn Nine-Nine and The Good Place.
@ miss cobalt
The invisible hand of the market takes care of all your poop and urine needs. 🙂
I was in WH Smith’s yesterday and was horrified to see a book by Mr Peterson on the top 40 best seller list. Holy crap, I thought this was just Reddit nonsense, I didn’t think people were actually buying it. Strike me horrified.
There’s still a WH Smith’s? I thought they’d gone out of business. I haven’t seen one in over a decade!
Why not let them read it? If he is as wrong as you say then he will discredit himself.
@Alan Robertshaw
Lol, thanks
Never know when I might need it
@London Pilgrim
Why not let me throw up in your swimming pool? We’ll let a bunch of people who hate you and don’t ever have to swim in the pool vote on how clean it needs to be. Water, barf: both are equally valid.
Oh, and if you get sick, it’s because you took the bacteria out of context.
ok, I don’t get the “joke” in the OP. Is there something I’m missing here?
@Virgin Mary
“a book by Mr Peterson on the top 40 best seller list.”
Was it 12 rules for life? Yep, it’s a bestseller. I work at a library and I’ve had people ask for it and seen it circulating regularly.
@ miss cobalt
I like that “use liberally” label. I’m tempted to leave a bottle in the shower and see what happens when I have guests.
Having said that I’d quite fancy having a ‘natural lion essence’ myself. It can’t be any worse than Aramis.
