Unsent email theater

Basically

I just need some fucking information man

Otherwise I gotta fill in the blanks all by myself

And you know how mad libs go

Shit never ends up following the story they had in mind when they wrote it

Like

You never want to actually explain anything to anybody because explaining shit is too much of a hassle for you

Well not assuming shit based my own frame of reference is too much of a hassle for me

People make assumptions because the world is fucking filled with unknowns and leaps of logic and shit that requires immediate response

We have a highly evolved survival mechanism in our brains that is literally based around being able to jump to conclusions

Saying people need to stop assuming is like saying people need to stop being afraid of things they feel threatened by

You don't want people to make assumptions

You gotta fill in

The fucking blanks

So I rented Face/Off

From an acting perspective the movie is kind of interesting

Since Travolta and Cage switch roles halfway through the film

So you get to see Cage trying to play Travolta while Travolta apes Cage's delivery

I wonder how much work they did together during shooting to come up with a cohesive set of characters so that when they swapped roles it would at least be believable in the context of the film

Actually I don't really wonder that at all

Because when the movie started and I saw Nick Cage with a mustache I instantly reached nirvana

I like to think that the mustache was originally the star of the movie but died halfway through production and was relegated to a short cameo during the prologue
I found the only question I am now capable of asking

Is why doesn't Cage have this mustache in EVERY scene

In EVERY movie

EVER

Although to be fair it didn't end up detracting from his performance

Pictured: Nick Cage winning every Oscar EVER
In fact after it's only after he loses the mustache that Cage graces the audience with what is unequivocally

The most fantastic hostage execution ever

The Bottom of this Beyblade is its most valuable part

Holy SHIT

They're tops

TOPS

This is like someone writing a POG strategy guide

Complete with advice on POG technique

It's like that time I was at the drugstore and had my mind BLOWN by the existence of SPINZ



And that was before I saw the article on the subject

But guys

GUYS

"That is all I need for about 35.00 Dollars maybe because im getting some from japan I dont want to spend all my money there."


The best part of course is the first response

"if u want all of them for $35 ur goin to have a hard time. Uriel and Gabriel alone cost that much"


We live in a world

Where the exchange rate

Of the US dollar

To the Bayblade

Is SEVENTEEN-POINT-FIVE TO ONE



BEYBLADES

The William

I'd also like to bring it to the attention of those concerned

That I am not someone in the habit of backing down from a challenge

So I have decided

On reflection

Not to stop with just a single reply

Notching the dial

Of this internet exchange up a twist

Will be much more satisfying

Basically I am increasing my update speed to a degree unheard of on this blog in the hopes that the sheer volume of awesomeness drowns my opponent in a deluge of biblical postportions

I suppose you may be wondering how I plan to increase my blogging output by such a ridiculous degree while maintaining the high standard of content with which this blog has become synonymous

To this I reply

Content

Have you been reading this blog at all

Everybody best check themselves because oh snap

Shit just got REAL

第81回仮装大賞準優勝作品【スーパーマリオ】

You may recall my in depth analysis of the relative merits of the scientific study of libraries and the man behind the second greatest live action rendition of Mario in history from a few days ago

It has been brought to my attention that this masterful piece of scholarship has garnered a response

And

I'm going to level with you

I remain

Unconvinced

Now I have to admit that calling me out on being secretly infatuated with Library Science but lacking the nerve to ask her to the 8th grade dance is a pretty valid point

And honestly

It wouldn't be so bad

If I could just ask her in person

But I am a pretty loud guy

And Library Science gets spooked by anything above a low whisper

Which limits my options of communication severely

Because have you ever tried contacting Library Science

With anything of an order remotely more advanced than a 19th century telegraph

It is borderline fucking impossible

She doesn't understand how cell phones work

Or the internet

It's like she is trapped in the past

Which to be fair is part of why I am all up ons

Being perpetually stuck in the 20th century myself

It kind of makes me wish she'd take a page

From the book of Captain Lou



Because paying a buck fifty for the first minute

And thirty-five cents for every additional minute

For a chance to be RANDOMLY selected

To have a LIVE conversation with Library Science

Would probably save me like several thousand dollars

In the money equivalent of the time I've spent

Trying to ask this flighty field of study out

How wrong I was

I thought the ocean had done its worse

I mean how the hell do you top eight foot long arthropoid spider alien abominations that EVEN NOW skitter through the darkness at the bottom of the sea

Thirsting for our flesh

But

You guys

Seriously

FUCK

''Unlike many transparent jellyfish, the red pigment in Big Red's dome prevents researchers from peering into its stomach to see what it had for lunch.'' Hey scientists, maybe the red pigmentation is a CLUE to its diet? Like maybe it ate a whole lot of red plankton or it's been GORGING ITSELF ON THE BLOOD OF THE DAMNED

THE OCEAN

You don't really get a sense of scale from that picture so let me straight up bust out some fine-ass block quotes and get some mad perspective all up ins

"Four thousand feet beneath the surface of the Pacific Ocean, water temperatures hover around a chilly 37° Fahrenheit, and the tiny sparks of bioluminescent life forms provide the only light. In this dark, cold world, scientists have discovered a strange new predator - a gelatinous, blood-red jellyfish that can reach up to three meters in diameter. Named Tiburonia granrojo (Spanish for big red), this massive jelly is particularly unusual because it lacks tentacles, which most jellies use to catch their food. Instead, Big Red has between four and seven thick, wrinkled arms."


You guys

That thing is OVER NINE FEET ACROSS

It is literally a giant mouth

Surrounded by ever-grasping arms

This is an entire SPECIES of creature

That is ALIVE

RIGHT NOW

ON THE SAME PLANET

AS US

H P Lovecraft has lulled you into a false sense of security. Ponderously large mindless horrors motivated by endless hunger are in fact ONE HUNDRED PERCENT REAL
