What have they done to Kermit????

[Raw Shark]

Two thoughts:

1) Kermit's always been a real muthafuckin' G, he just keeps it on the DL. Man walks around nude on the regular, that establishes some dominance.
1a: Watch out for the swamp mafia. The Cajun branch of my family is hella sketch.

2) Their parody legal statement cracked me up.

Elmos supposed to be the muppet equal of a preschooler. (According to google)

Sure, but what purpose does that serve when we already have the much less shrill and obnoxious Big Bird asking the childish questions?

Google: Big Bird's primary purpose on Sesame Street is to be a relatable, childlike character who embodies curiosity, innocence, and a love for learning. He serves as a bridge between the adult characters and the young viewers, often asking questions that help children explore their own understanding of the world. Big Bird also models positive social and emotional skills, like kindness, empathy, and resilience.

So, Elmo is the pre-school brat, and Big Bird is the school age (6+) kid.

[Raw Shark]

So, Solauren, you basically just googled what I just said.

Big Bird serves a purpose. Elmo is some garbage,

Level of definition.


"Child" ranges from age 2 - 14 or so. (Mind you, 12 year olds would disagree)
Elmo is for 2 - 5
B.B is for 5 - 8 or so.
After that, I think it's Groover.

[Raw Shark]

Grover's not a child, he's just an imbecile. "Don't do what Grover did," is the lesson he teaches.

[Raw Shark]

Tough shit monkeys, you're not wrong, Solauren. Sorry I got off the handle yesterday; it's been a hard week. It's been coming at me every direction and my first impulse is to throw fists and crowbars. Your analysis is accurate.

[Raw Shark]

I always carry a crowbar in my bag, and I have never regretted it. You never know when you might need to break down a door, Just one little tool for every little guy, walkin' around doing his thing. Not hurting anyone.

I'm just one man walking this green Earth. I do whatever is the purpose of my birth. And If I hear a scream I'm coming through! One two, Shark gonna get you!

But yeah, I keep my crowbar handy.

I have a totally random question: Do you guys have an inner monologue or an inner dialogue? I have several inner voices and they have full conversations with each other in my head, some of my friends only have one voice and they think I'm crazy.

Sometimes I hear them in specific peoples voices.

[Raw Shark]

I have a tendency to talk out loud whether anybody's around or not. I just keep up a running monologue. I know it's a sign of psychosis and I don't care.

Have you ever read "Wild Cards?" Edited by George R. R. Martin, back when he was just some guy who played a lot of GURPS from Bayonne, Jerz. One of his collaborators (PBUH) wrote a character called Captain Trips who could assume different personalities by (you guessed it) ingesting dangerous chemicals. When he's himself, they still talk to him. All seven of them live in his head. It's a mixed relationship. Aquarius threatens to kill them both on the regular. "Push me one more inch, Mark. I'll swim across the Atlantic ocean as far as I can go before you wake up and we both drown."

[muse]

I haven't read the book, but that's exactly what it's like for me! Minus the chemical use, I'm like that when I'm perfectly sober. The voices in my head are different people, sometimes they're family or friends I know, sometimes they're people I saw in a magazine or characters on TV which look like they'd fit the voice, and sometimes I have to invent new people for the voices I haven't heard before. Like one time I had talking dinosaurs because I was trying to write a story about dinosaur extinction for a religious school.

[Raw Shark]

Yeah, it's like that. I hear the voices and they're present. I wish it wasn't like that but it is.

[J]

It's probably a good thing Raw Shark and my sister will never meet in real life, it's just too much crazy in one place and may violate the laws of the universe.

I have to respectfully disagree, here. It'd be the exact right amount of crazy in the same place. We'd create an epic singularity that would collapse reality into chaos gloriously while we run around laughing and tossing axes and hand grenades and molotove cocktails and blowing kisses at all of you.

That doesn't sound to bad Muse. Sounds like a good memory for voices and the like, with a good imagination.

Unless the voices are telling you to do stuff you'd rather not.

Help! How do I get this song out of my head?
I can't understand a single word but I can't stop listening to it!

[J]

Have you tried cowbell?

[Solauren]

I can't understand a single word but I can't stop listening to it!

If you've listented to it end to end, try putting a different song on a loop for a bit. One you know and enjoy.

[Broomstick]

The only way to get rid of an ear worm is replacing it with an even more annoying ear worm.

[Batman]

Or rampant substance abuse.

[muse]

I think I'll try substance abuse, thanks for the idea Count Chocula!

By the way, did you know they have horse raves in Mongolia?

[Raw Shark]

Or rampant substance abuse.

That's generally how I accomplish this. Rampant substance abuse solves a lot and yet nothing for me. Rampant substance abuse. Mary Jane and Cocaine and a sip of the burboun every night. The story of my (mostly) useless life. I've tried to give of nicotine, but that ain't workin'. I've tried to give up womaninzing, but... That ain't going correctly.

[Raw Shark]

By the way, did you know they have horse raves in Mongolia?

I mean, that's not exactly unexpected if you think about it.
