#you STOLE my fizzy lifting drinks !

[recapitulation]

[ID: gifs from the 22nd episode of the series "Mysterious Lotus Casebook." Fang Duobing says to Li Lianhua, looking outraged, "You had a beautiful woman in your arms, so you forgot about our important moon-viewing date!" Li Lianhua shuts his eyes and taps between his eyebrows to soothe a headache. /end ID]

I’ve heard a great deal about you, Fa Mulan. You stole your father’s armor, ran away from home, impersonated a soldier, deceived your commanding officer, dishonored the Chinese Army, destroyed my palace, and…You stole Fizzy-Lifting Drinks! You bumped into the ceiling, which now has to be washed and sterilized, so you get… NOTHING!!! You lose! GOOD DAY, SIR!

Some faves from the yoko exhibition

Bagism advertisement that reads like a shitpost (what I’ve learned from this exhibition is Yoko’s kind of a shitpost queen)

Here is me and a drawing outline of my shadow. I realised after I left this was a prime opportunity to do shadow puppets so if anyone goes to the exhibition in the future please find the outline that looks like me and draw a shadow puppet of a dog next to it in my honour ❤️

I love this piece. I reminds me of that scene in the original Charlie and the chocolate factory movie—“you stole fizzy lifting drinks!!” 😡

Ladder to yes you will always be famous!!!!!! (Devo they didn’t let you climb it 😞)

This one was inspired by the refugee crisis and the instruction was to write your hopes and beliefs in the room (there was a boat in the room as well)

This was my mam’s favourite piece. They had a video of people who showed up to the exhibition being confused like “I’m disappointed I wanted to see yoko’s art” and an interviewer being like “well this is yoko’s art. It’s conceptual”. And they were like “well ok.” clearly bothered about it. Let it never be said that Yoko’s not funny figdjahska

Overall, it was a really fun exhibition and I think it gave a decent overview of all her work and her personality. My main take away is that she would love audio erotica and those “wreck this journal” notebooks they always sell in art shops. The stuff where she invites audiences to participate is probably my favourite. Oh to have been there in the 60s when she was doing performance stuff.

Me: God. Siffrin's memory issues are a major source of distress for him and yet Loop wishes they could forget. They would rather forget their friends, the only people they remember loving, than remembering them while being unable to ever reconnect with them. Only being able to see and speak to copies of them who don't even recongize them anymore. Even after all those loops, even after hearing the same lines over and over, they're still so important to Loop that it hurts. That they couldn't even look at them until they had to approach them for Siffrin's sake. fuck.

My brain: YOU STOLE FIZZY LIFTING DRINKS! YOU LOOSE STARDUST!!!!!

Ryu Number: Tantalus

(Bit of pixely blood in this. Like, late 90's-ish video game blood, but I'm not going to not warn you.)

In Greek mythology, Tantalus was one of the inhabitants of Tartarus, the deep abyss in which the gods dumped the real jerkity jerk-jerkish jerks (for a given definition of "jerk," anyway—let's be real: This was Greek mythology; everyone was a jerk).

Tantalus has a Ryu Number of at most 3.

The nature of Tantalus' grand heck-up varies depending on who you're hearing it from, but one version of the story has it that he was invited to a feast with the gods and returned the favor by spreading secrets he'd learned up there up Olympus. Another version of the story says he went a step further and stole fizzy lifting drinks the nectar and ambrosia of the gods, and spread that.

(Nectar and ambrosia was the foodstuff that was basically For Goddish Consumption Only, with the occasional exception. Something something as a treat, etc.)

The most dramatic version of the story really ramps up the douche levels, even by Greek standards: Apparently, Tantalus wasn't so sure the gods were as all-knowing as they said they were, so he served them a grand feast, and by "feast" I mean "his son Pelops, cut up and boiled as a stew, to see if any of them would notice."

Spoilers: They noticed.

Whichever sin it was he pulled, Tantalus got himself one of those unique Tartarean punishments: He was stood in a pool of water with the branches of a fruit tree just overhead; whenever he reached for a fruit, the branches would rise just out of his range, and whenever he ducked to take a drink, the waters would recede before he could get any of it mouth-level.

And that's where we got the word "tantalize."

Odyssey: The Search for Ulysses is a 2000 video game (by Cryo Interactive, with all the quality you'd expect) wherein Penelope, noticing that her husband Odysseus/Ulysses is a bit late despite the Trojan War being ten years over, sends you, the dude's childhood buddy, to set sail and figure out what the heck. You end up at Tartarus, because of course you do, and can chat a bit with the who's who of the damned. For example, there's Sisyphus and the Danaïdes...

...and Prometheus, with his daily delivery of de-liver-y...

...and of course Tantalus, who's taking a break from all the fruitless (literally) stretching.

"Aight, funny video game connections man," I hear the version of you I've created whole cloth in my imagination say, "but what if I don't like Minecraft in my Ryu Numbers? Do you have an alternate route for me that satisfies my arbitrary requirement?"

My dude, not only do I have an alternate (if slightly longer) non-Minecraft route, but it's the whole reason I made this post.

Now, does Rock of Ages explicitly state that this gray-decked staff-and-sword-wielding wizard is Gandalf? No, of course not, but let's be real.

That's Gandalf.

you STOLE fizzy lifting drinks

i didn’t have too much time today but thats ok! running this account has really started to help me stomp my perfectionism into a small brown stain

[latenightsuburbansprinklersystem]

it's been so uncharacteristically busy tonight like rarely will I have to deal with more than 5 people on a given overnight shift at this place but tonight feels like an average Saturday at my old job with how steady its been and how everyone seems to have a fucking problem with everything which like. it's been a rough adjustment going back to that so suddenly after more or less getting paid to commit time theft for the last 2 and a half months but I've quickly remembered just how much joy I derive from fucking brickwalling these entitled shitheads who are so used to putting on their best acting faces saying the magic words and getting whatever they want. like you're in my world now brother and here the customer is always wrong. you STOLE fizzy lifting drinks. you get nothing. you lose. good day sir (<-someome who has decided to make a career in an industry called "hospitality" btw)

You stole fizzy lifting drinks just like you stole my heart

Space Ghost Week

Space Ghost Coast to Coast #60: “Lawsuit” | August 21, 1998 | S05E03

Yet another unique opening; this is meant to look like a more staid network program; I get an 80s primetime soap vibe, such as Dynasty or Falcon Crest. Honestly, I’m not sure what the actual reference is, if anything. Snard describes the theme as Mork-and-Mindy-esque. The final credit says it was created by the Arlington Sisters. 

This is an Evan Dorkin Sarah Dyer episode, and it’s a pretty good one. I had my suspicions when the characters referenced “Harvey”, referring to Birdman. Man, those two really should’ve gotten a piece of that Harvey Birdman.

This one is rather scripted; a huge chunk of the episode is comprised of animated characters talking to one another. Dr. Nightmare, a villain from the 1960s iteration of Space Ghost, shows up in Tad’s monitor on behalf of Jan, Jace, and Blip; Space Ghost’s old teen and primate sidekicks. He’s now Dr. Nightmare, Attorney at Law (Jesus, just cut those two a check already). Another way you can tell it’s a Dorkin/Dyer script: they actually care about the 1960s lore of Space Ghost and you can tell they get a lot of joy out of including old characters in their episodes.

Jan and Jace are suing for back wages, trauma, and accuse Space Ghost of preventing them from enrolling in school. Eventually Greta Van Sustren shows up to talk to Space Ghost about representing him in the upcoming case. She’s wearing a cool jacket. 

In addition to the references to the 60s show, we also get several references to past episodes; Cameron Diaz, Flip Orley, Sean Medlock, The Hoover Dam, and Paris France are all in talks to sue Space Ghost. Flip Orley was the magician that was on the Late Night episode, and Sean Medlock, hilariously, was the aggrieved Space Ghost fan who got on the show via a haiku contest and was disgruntled because he was lead to believe that he’d be the focus of the entire episode. He now has a substack under the pseudonym Jim Treacher, and is reportedly a massive wad.

Among the funny moments are: Brak, the little fella who shows up “from time to time” as Dennis Miller put it, shows up briefly to pointlessly reference I’m not Rappaport. The beginning of the episode actually has a lot of the show’s funniest jokes: Space Ghost’s spit-take, his invoking the name “Jack Lord”, and accusing Dr. Nightmare of stealing fizzy lifting drinks all tickle me. I need to confess that I stole the fizzy lifting drinks line in high school for an unfunny sketch I wrote. I also love the bit where Space Ghost meets Greta Van Sustren and then blinks, using Zorak’s blinking sound-effect. Zorak gets pissed. 

Shout out to Matt Harrigan and Isabel Gonzalez who play Jace and Jan respectively. Isabel is the insanely beautiful woman who portrayed Fran Drescher in “Woody Allen’s Fall Project”. Dave Willis also has a brief turn as Jace’s post-puberty voice.

MAIL BAG

from peopletellmeilooklikehansolo:

Space Ghost's dialogue at the start of Terminal is lifted from Terms of Endearment. When I saw the movie a few years ago I was smiling inappropriately as soon as I recognized the words coming out of Debra Winger's mouth. (she's speaking to her sons while dying "in hospital")

THANK YOU! I can’t believe I missed that. I’ve seen the movie and somehow didn’t make the connection! It was a somewhat recent watch, even, and I easily could have connected the two. My main takeaway from that movie was the cool photo of Jack Nicholson in the astronaut outfit, which is shockingly hard to google. Where is that prop?
