"This is pretty good. Oh, it's over." - what she said, and my current thought.

#1 Why does Boris always look like a zombie extra from Shaun of the Dead?
ToasterDent
It's his trademark look now, like The Rock's raised eyebrow

#4 I leave the bedroom door open, so the cat can get in and out of my bedroom.
knotwitchcraft
That's funny; I leave the door closed so they stay out!

TIL that chode is not only slang for perineum, but also for a penis which has a girth that is wider than its length.

I remember visiting Philippines and they have deep fried eggs as street food that you dip in vinegar chili. The quail eggs are better IMO.

#4 in all seriousness you should keep your door closed at night if you can because it is much safer in case of fire.

Pro tip: sleeping with all the doors closed will slow the spread of a fire down giving you more time to escape
DranksAndDragons
This is literally the reason I do.

Anyone who sleeps with the bedroom door open obviously doesn't sleep with a cat.
knotwitchcraft
My cat ruined the carpet trying to dig under the door. But now we have laminate wood. Take that, cat!
EternalMydnyt
I don’t understand how people can live their life with doors or cupboards open. Hell I LOCK every door in my house when I sleep

OP used Culture Tax. It’s super reflective.

The evil shadow in my hallway is my cat Kiki, so you best believe I leave the door open or she meows.

What's so scary about sitting next to a waterfall without a phone?
Arenlor
He lost it and he's at the top of the waterfall.

ccccaaaa
Yup, that’s me. Big old whoosh.
mutedia
that's a weird setup.. the joke is about pulling the plug and not being scared by social media or the news cycle.. I think. It needs work.
gwydd
Thank you. The way it's phrased, the waterfall is the source of the fear. Smart dude. Bad joke.
jackwagon311
It's... it's a joke. Or did you forget the /s? Or did I?
ccccaaaa
Didn’t get the joke. No worries. There will be other jokes.
MightyMorphinePowerRangerz
You got me with the mains powered fanny hammer.

It's my personal supercalifragilisticexpialidocious

Some say it still hasn't kicked in to high gear yet, the fanny hammer, or the acid.

That’s a nice kitty

Wonder if it would even work like that with a cat

Not with that attitude

I’d never seen a magic wand before, it came up last week on Imgur, I ordered one, used it today, and this fuckin image is here now. Magic.
blenn
Using wand, liking DnD - you are officially on the naughty-list, and that's just perfect!
DranksAndDragons
Haha, thanks!

I don't understand the poem
copperdomebodhi
Kid grew up thinking he was a disappointment. On his deathbed, his dad reveals he had been depressed / anxious from the horrors of WWI.
gibsonjoeboy9000
Flanders refers to a WWI battlefield where hundreds of thousands of soldiers died, if that helps you understand it better.
empire161
The dad has PTSD from WW1. Flanders was a site of a major battle. “In Flanders Field” is the most famous poem of the war.
DigiT00l
Well, Flanders is pretty much all of northern Belgium, Ypres, Verdun, and the Somme are all in Flanders
Trillcosby775
Stupid gloom in Flanders
iSellTeenyTinyFrogGreenBabyCoffins
Stupid Flanders
Skr121
Dad waited to talk to his kid until right before he died. It was due to PTSD from wwi, but the son still wishes he would have talked more.
NewMoonRising
The inheritance that most parents leave their children is disappointment and the memories of it. My relationship with my parents is this way
Thetingwitdating
Dude goes off to war, sees some shit, goes mad sullen at times, passed that shit on to his son.
mikeymikec
And then picks his dying breath to open up to his son.
xMalkav
Aw man. I was going to send this to my mother, all "Ha? Haaaa." But here I learn it's actually sad and not just edgy. This is bullshit.
DanielAsparagus
Sorry your dad loved you.
DanielAsparagus
Didn’t mean to sound like a dick @dopechicken. Just saying it’s about passing trauma and emotional damage. Realizing when it’s too late.
motherfluffer
It isn’t about his father not loving him, it’s about his fathers PTSD inadvertently affecting his son and him not realizing until his death
DanielAsparagus
You’re right. I was being glib.
motherfluffer
Ah my bad, but people should be encouraged to get help, I should have realized the glibness tho
DanielAsparagus
I agree. It’s shitty that trauma gets passed on and that it can’t be erased from a man. I had a scoutmaster who was 17 at Normandy. Even/
wandermanspacebot
Who wrote that poem?
ihavenoideahowthisworks
Can somebody explain the poem? ..for my..friend?
CiarMitc11
Also Google fugues interesting double meaning which could encapsulate the mental anguish his father suffered (and author inherits perhaps)
isthismemetaken26
didn't realize it wasn't credited. yes, Paul Bailey.
FoamingToad
Cheers, I liked it. Will read up on Bailey's other works.
Usertx2017
Thanks for posting the poem. Floored. Reminded me of my father. ++1

"Earned his gloom in Flanders"... dang. Some horrors pass through the generations in your DNA.

What’s Flanders? Not stupid sexy, to be sure.

Paul Bailey
AlmostCertainlyNotPickles
Did you know he wrote the poem Inheritance? Fun fact I learned recently.
michealangleo
No i didnt! But i did hear about this guy paul bailey who wrote a poem called inheritance
TheVenerableJudgeTaintyMcPoo
No. Common misconception. Inheritance the poem was written by poet Paul Bailey. That’s Inheritance the movie by screenwriter Paul Bailey.
michealangleo
Wasnt that actually Paul Bailey by the up and coming writer Inheritance?
