(We could start another thread for that.) I can't find the ampersand on my computer keyboard. Where the heck IS it? Does anybody know? I'm serious, here. I can't find the thing. RSVP, ASAP. |

09 Jan 04 - 03:40 PM (#1089641) Subject: RE: BS: My ampersand is missing. From: Helen This thread reminds me of a rather strange sogn which our Oz alternative popular music station used to play. The band name is King Missile and the song is called: Detachable Penis I woke up this morning with a bad hangover And my penis was missing again. This happens all the time. It's detachable. This comes in handy a lot of the time. I can leave it home, when I think it's gonna get me in trouble, or I can rent it out, when I don't need it. But now and then I go to a party, get drunk, and the next morning I can't for the life of me remember what I did with it. First I looked around my apartment, and I couldn't find it. So I called up the place where the party was, they hadn't seen it either. I asked them to check the medicine cabinet 'cause for some reason I leave it there sometimes But not this time. So I told them if it pops up to let me know. I called a few people who were at the party, but they were no help either. I was starting to get desperate. I really don't like being without my penis for too long. It makes me feel like less of a man, and I really hate having to sit down every time I take a leak. After a few hours of searching the house, and calling everyone I could think of, I was starting to get very depressed, so I went to the Kiev, and ate breakfast. Then, as I walked down Second Avenue towards St. Mark's Place, where all those people sell used books and other junk on the street, I saw my penis lying on a blanket next to a broken toaster oven. Some guy was selling it. I had to buy it off him. He wanted twenty-two bucks, but I talked him down to seventeen. I took it home, washed it off, and put it back on. I was happy again. Complete. People sometimes tell me I should get it permanently attached, but I don't know. Even though sometimes it's a pain in the ass, I like having a detachable penis. The singer, well narrator really, says it all in a totally dead-pan voice, like it is all an absolutely normal occurrence to lose one's penis at a party, and then be able to wash it off and put it back on again. Sorry for the thread creep, but you knew this would happen, didn't you brucie?! Helen |

Consider the ampersand: & Now, imagine that the ampersand is a human being. Exactly what kind of contorted perversion is going on here? The prefix "auto" followed by any of a number of words meaning various sexual practices comes to mind. And you do realize that if an ampersand and a treble clef were ever to hook up you'd probably never be able to get 'em apart, don't you?

09 Jan 04 - 04:07 PM (#1089672) Subject: RE: BS: My ampersand is missing. From: Rapparee I can picture it: Poor ol' Brucie gets up, does the morning things, sits down at the computer and finds his ampersand is missing. Frantic, he searches everwhere: over the one, the two, the eight, the four -- no luck. He finds his ~, his |, his [, even the }, but no ampersand. He's getting desperate...and there's a certain pressure building he needs his ampersand to relieve. He checks his manual. There's data on splats, on bangs, on pound signs, on tildes, on carats. And then -- the ASCII code for the ampersand will be found on page 124! Eureka! He turns to page 124 -- and it's missing, because someone tore it out. Naturally, he turns to Mudcat. Mudcat turns it into a crude series of deviant barbs of sexual connotativeness...but Catters first tell Brucie that his ampersand is over the seven (7)! Now having achieved Completeness, Brucie lies back content. But MC continues to debate and comment on such questions as the quality of ampersandiness, or is it ampersandich? WHY does the ampersand look so much like treble clef? Could you write out treble clef music by hand if you used the ampersand? Fertile groups for discussion, all of them. And all because Brucie lost his ampersand. Now that he's found it I hope that no one did anything disgusting with it while it was missing. |
