102-The Last Durp to Snarksville
 
FPB.

Let's start this one off on the right foot. Retro or Current Snark welcome.

Everyone hates the title. I accept that. From this point on, any thread title stuff goes in the "Future Snark Titles" thread and any in this one will earn a 4-24 hour boxing (the duration will be arbitrary and capricious.)

Darmund 14th June 2018 12:56 PM

Also less :durpfight: in this one would be good.

Morgenstern 14th June 2018 12:57 PM

Last snark? They got to you?

A negative 20 hour boxing? Does that mean I'd be like an admin or something for 20 hours? :bouncingball:

@Fenris

Can you make a pre-emptive ruling that any bickering w regards to Morgenstern is verboten in this thread. If dopers want to come over here and beat him over the head, I'm fine with that, but do it in the Pit. It's getting fuckin tedious.

The title is fine, but can I point out that it should have been "Last Durp to Snarksville"? On account of "Snarksville" rhymes with "Clarksville"? Well anyway, I am pointing that out, and will accept my capricious and arbitrary boxing if necessary. Because freedom.

Morgenstern 14th June 2018 03:56 PM

A little retro retro. Johanna explains how men can suck urine back inside after peeing.

really,

Johanna06-15-2001, 11:10 AM
There is a yoga exercise called vajroli, which involves drawing liquids up the urethra. Anyone who has mastered this will also master control of his ejaculation. (I've also heard the Tantric semen control technique described as "injaculation.") Vajroli is also important in Tantric sex for drawing the female essence into the man.

There is a story about Ngawang Losang Gyatso, the Fifth Dalai Lama (known as "The Great Fifth"). He was being criticized for frequenting brothels and consorting with whores while he was the spiritual leader of Tibet. (There is also a body of erotic poems by him that are still sung to this day.)

So he summoned his critics to the steps of the Potala palace. He urinated out of his full bladder down the steps. And then he reversed the flow and drew all the urine back up into his bladder. This silenced his critics. He was a serious Tantric master.

....dammit, you're 100% right. That is better. I arbitrarily and capriciously box you for 4 hours, BUT, for dramatically improving a snark title, I give you an unprecedented -4 hour boxing, so it all works out to zero. (note to future historians among the Ant-People who will one day find these records, the original title was The Last Snark to Durpsville. I hope this helps you understand us better. )

How old is pool? In my young and pretentious days, when music had to MEAN SOMETHING and I would only listen to serious artists who poured their everything into the music, I felt that way. "Oh. They sing the song but they didn't write it? Might as well be karaoke." But then, I stopped being a teenager and grew up.

Jeez, another one whose parents never came to his recital. Sure, kid, it's all smiles and applause and adulation when you're 8 years old, but wait until you're 11 and telling your friends that Mummy and Daddy are going to be there for your triangle solo on "Yesterday", and you're tinkling away and they never come, and you're sobbing your guts out in a cold and lonely school hall while those lumbering heifers the Sugar Plum Fairies are getting the applause you should have had. Showbiz is a dirty, cruel business, honey, and the sooner you learn it the better. I bent my triangle into a parallelogram that very night, and I've never played again. WHY DIDN'T YOU COME, DADDY? WHY COULDN'T YOU MAKE IT?

Eh, I agree with Chucky-boy on this one: The original still exists, it's completely unaltered, and the sequel doesn't break into your house and wreck up the place in order to destroy your copy of it.

I think he's a yahoo for thread-shitting, though.

Oh, but it does. I super terrible sequel will indeed get in your brain and retcon the original into garbage. Once you know the highlander are aliens, there ain't nothing that can make me forget that.

ssgenius posts a conversation he had with his 15 year old niece, who lives in Alberta. Here's part of it. He manages to be that one creepy uncle.

Quote:

Her mother comes in and says that the teacher in her school and her daughter were returning to Australia next year and she thinks that it was Brisbane.
Emma: Brisbane !! Yes that was it. Can I go with them ?
Her mother then says: I don't think they want you to come with them.
Me: (in a joking fashion): If you go to Austraila, you might come back pregnant.
Emma: I am never getting pregnant !!!!

They're dancing again now but when they weren't all the other smilies were working. They were defenseless against the machine gun bananas.

Thanks! I feel so enlightened now! I read all the other posts in the thread and never knew up until that post that there ever was a time when there were no ATMs!

I think pool has stumbled onto a corollary of the Straight Dope axiom "If it is food, I can make it better and cheaper at home." (Perhaps, "If it is music, I can compose and play it better myself"?)
