Grex Enigma Item 333: Esthetics
Entered by remmers on Sat May 16 21:55:07 UTC 1998:

Form is nothing without content.
Content is nothing without meaning.
Meaning is nothing without coleslaw.

Coleslaw is nothing without Hellmann's and paprika.

And the mayonaise was without form, and void; and darkness moved on the face
of the picnic table.
And Mom said "Let There Be Lunch."  And there was lunch; and it was good.

Didn't she do anything about those black ants crawling around on the picnic
table first?  Or was the lunch for them....

on the west coast:
"hellmans" is under a different name, calle d"best foods"
"edies" icecream is called "dreyers"

On the east coast, they occasionally see an awesome emerald-green flash 
of light as the sun is just starting to rise above the open ocean in 
the morning.  (Caused by some odd optical effect when the atmosphere's
just right for it.)

Do they have that out on the west coast, too? 


#6 of 23 by orinoco on Mon May 18 01:41:25 1998:

No.  The emerald light is actually caused by a large Edie's ice-cream deposit
offshore, which clearly does not exist on the West Coast.

The mother *was* an ant; ants always serve coleslaw.
It's a matter of form flowing from function.


#8 of 23 by lee on Sun May 24 00:42:23 1998:

I thought ants showed up at all picnics, whether or not coleslaw was present

Well, they do--they're very social.  But they always serve coleslaw,
even if it's just them eating amongst themselves.

I thought butterflies were the social ones.


#11 of 23 by i on Mon May 25 22:17:18 1998:

Only social butterflies are social.


#12 of 23 by orinoco on Wed May 27 02:12:48 1998:

What are the antisocial ones?  Chopped liver?


#13 of 23 by i on Wed May 27 23:10:37 1998:

No, insects.  Count the legs as you pull them off.....1..2..3...4..5...6!


#14 of 23 by lee on Wed May 27 23:47:47 1998:

how many legs to red legged taratulas have?


#15 of 23 by snowth on Fri May 29 03:23:17 1998:

37. But some of them are invisible.


#16 of 23 by lee on Fri May 29 18:05:27 1998:

Hmm, what do you do to make invisible ink visible again?  Hot iron?


#17 of 23 by snowth on Fri May 29 23:22:17 1998:

I've heard you can coat it in the blood of a black cat killed in a haunted
cemetary on Friday the 13th if it's the last month of a decade. But I wouldn't
try it. Too messy for my tastes.

Today is NOW.

But your experience may vary.  Offer not good where regulated, taxed,
exorcised, or subject to bottle depot fees.

Nice job reviving a decade old thread :p

I suspect some users weren't born yet when this item went dead. (Will it now
becomea zombie?)

That would require a 10th level neutral or evil cleric.

But to be safe, you might want to sprinkle holy water on your computer.

And stock up on shotgun shells, too.


#22 of 23 by rcurl on Fri Nov 4 04:27:15 2011:

I understand I can make holy water by boiling the hell out of it.


#23 of 23 by i on Sat Nov 5 02:52:10 2011:

A common mis-understanding - you'll just end up with pergatory water.

Holy water can only be made by distilling certain free-roll baby swiss
cheeses.
