We’re doing Postmodernism is Sociology, and the teacher was talking about ‘language games’— language that is so specialised that unless you’re part of a specific group it’s totally incomprehensible.
And, as an example, he gave us this monstrosity:
And, what’s even worse— I fucking UNDERSTOOD IT. I had to EXPLAIN this to my fucking sociology class.
This is why we should never have let the millenials become teachers.

Yes! Dancehall parodies are a thing! Of them, my favourite is Fake Jeans Admit It.
So, Vybez Kartel is kind of known for singing about clothes. For other things too, but singing about clothes is one of the things he does. Of those songs, the most well-known is the one where he fangirls super hard about how much he loves his shoes.
De ledda hard // De suede sof Tootbrush get out the dus fas Everybody ha’fi ask where mi get mi Clarks Everybody ha’fi ask where mi get mi Clarks
However, this isn’t his only song about how great his clothes are! No, he has another one which is a more general exploration of his style and how #quality it is.
Straight jeans and fitted Inna white t-shirt we did it We rock dose shades to di limit (Uptown, uptown) Same so wi dweet, wi dweet ah portmoooore (OH)
Mi gucci belt ah di realest Mi rosary chain ah di purest Mi G-shock watch: Timeless Same so wi dweet, wi dweet ah portmoooore (OH)
But, if you think that looks silly, then you’re not alone. It was ripe for parody from the start. Enter DJ Bambino, who’s here to sing about his own style – and how to look fly on a budget.
Fake jeans – admit it! Knock off T-shirts – we did it! We rock wannabe Clarks to di limits (Downtown, downtown) Cyah shop uptown cuz we too poooor
Mi grocery belt a di realest Mi clothes knock off – but ah di cleanest! Got nuh G-shock watch, so mi timeless Cyah shop uptown cuz we so poooor
I love my culture

#music #anything that makes me laugh this much deserves a reblog #I haven’t actually listened to these songs #(I might do that later) #but that ”timeless” pun is amazing #puns #oh my god
so we went to an improv show and we played this game where somebody is given a trait and another player has to guess what it is based on how they answer questions
and one of the players who was a taxidermist was asked “what do you do for a living?” and she replied “oh you know…. stuff” AND TO THIS DAY THAT IS THE GREATEST PUN I HAVE EVER HEARD MY GOD
In some ways it’s sorta sad that almost every computer now is programmed in a high level language and has memory protection and we probably will not see any more awesome bug stories like the tale of the escaping Tron bikes.
casual reminder that i wrote an 90-page novel when i was eight about a deranged pensioner who wants to take over the world and return everything to “The Good Old Days”, and which included such choice elements as
a really neurotic vegetarian vampire
alice cooper, for no apparent reason
an evil supermodel called miranda goth
three nine-year-olds climbing mount everest in diving helmets
the entire population of scotland appearing out of literally nowhere to help defeat the antagonists
“you can take our lives but you cannot take our trousers”
a few people have been asking me to post extracts from this so uh
here’s something
#are you Douglas Adams?
THIS is the kind of writing I aspire to

In retrospect, I’m pretty sure the reason every American kid my age knows the song “Kids in America” is because of the jimmy neutron movie
