A Thread For Absurd And Absurdist Questions Of A Questionable Nature

[CatherineM]

My father, and his older brothers as well, were dressed in dresses and had long curly hair until they were school age. Their grandmother firmly believed in leprechauns, which only took male children. Over a certain age, they would be bigger than the leprechauns, so it was no longer a danger. Their grandmother was a very devout Catholic who was a soloist at St. Patrick's in NYC 100+ years ago. My godmother was a very devout Mexican, and she had some similar beliefs that don't translate well into English. I think that it was a way of putting a name and face to evil.

Interestingly, someone I know on FB had their status about chickens and eggs today.

Person XYZ: it is my thinking, that if most major genetic and physical mutations occur in embryo... that the egg must have come before the chicken.

Personally, I don't know what on earth she's talking about. Sounds like a brutal non sequitur to me.

Perhaps a highly pronounced speciation event where two non-chickens produced the first true chicken offspring? By a random accident of nature a duck and an iguana were able to mate and the result was the first evarr chicken. True story. But why are there no crocoducks?

Believing in gnomes and fairies is almost like believing in Vulcans or Klingons, and who would do that?

You’ve got to be kidding me. I’ve been further even more decided to use even go need to do look more as anyone can. Can you really be far even as decided half as much to use go wish for that? My guess is that when one really been far even as decided once to use even go want, it is then that he has really been far even as decided to use even go want to do look more like. It’s just common sense.


Lol, well that phrase in particular is a meme that started (where else?) on 4chan. Backstory really isn't that important. It's just a post by someone who obviously spoke really really poor English. That thing I just posted above s someone's imitation/ response.

Yea, I guess I'm mostly the same.
Although sometimes I get this impression that she's agreeing and disagreeing at the same time.
