What Jenn was experiencing last night was very disturbing. As RK was stuck in Jenn's head, he was simultaneously bouncing between the frequencies of a Clear Channel radio station broadcast and the Lifetime network. Oddly enough, it was a Coldplay song combined with a Meryl Streep soliloquy...
Time freezes, and Burt Reynolds steps in to explain, "You see, yeah, while RK was only gone a few days to us, it was like 42 years to him, yeah. Since he was in the frequency domain, he didn't age. Weird. Why can't this be a thread about running moonshine?" Time resumes, and RK gets in the...
After spending 42 years in the darkness of Jenn's soul, the rat bastard known as RK rematerializes. After his first refreshing breath in the time domain, he realizes that he has returned from the frequency domain with x-ray vision and total tolerance to alcohol. "Dear God."
RK makes a comment on how twisted Jenn's mind is. Despite trying to use a word with no connotations, RK notes that any word, even "platipus", can mean anything anyone wants it to. RK is swallowed by the darkness that is Jenn's mind. His final words were as follows: "Prose before Hos. Kenya...
Under the spell of Jenn's mutant flirting ability, RK threatens to forward the "special pictures" Ricky sent him to Jenn if Ricky doesn't start helping Jenn out with the parents. Suddenly, RK's platipus sense starts tingling . . . .
RitalinKid says something both mean and funny about Jenn's situation and her relationship with her family. Then he makes a sarcastic remark about her Father's Day gift ideas. To smooth things over, he winks at her.
RK reminds Jenn that he's been working a lot, and since he missed Bonnaroo last weekend, he had to get messed up and do something crazy this weekend. He then harasses her for Father's Day gift ideas while the words to "Contact" continue in his head.
Yoda shows up and says, "Too early it is for third person discussions." After covering his body with PB&J, RitalinKid demands to know what Ricky did with Arnold! RitalinKid calms down when he remembers how kickass the 7/28/98 Phish show was that he streamed last night from nugs.net.
RitalinKid thanks Ronny and Honeydevil for their company, says some really deep stuff, and walks out the door. For a split second, Honeydevil and Ronny feel an intense sense of loss. Then, they snap out of it and do the crazy hippy dance while Phish plays "Contact".
Because he's drunk, RitalinKid laughs it off and tells Ronny to stop being a prude. He then pulls Ronny up onto the table, and the table falls in from the weight of three people. Honeydevil punches RitalinKid, and he kinda likes it, but then Honeydevil calls him a scruffy looking nerf herder...
...shakes his fist and says, "One of these days Alice! One of these Days!" He knows Honeydevil likes his Apu impression and is only making a scene to bring them closer together. RitalinKid starts to ask Honeydevil where the screen name came from, but, in a surprise move, Honeydevil . . .
Hearing the talk of tequila, RitalinKid fills his slushy machine with margarita mix and twice the amount of tequila required. He serves everyone drinks, and, as Apu from the Simpsons would have it, gives everyone a, "Thank you. Come again."
After rolling his eyes initially, RitalinKid now thinks Mr Michel has started something pretty interesting. Reading the posts brings a smile to his brain. RitalinKid jumps in through the window broken by the tequila laden Honeydevil. Out comes the hookah, and RitalinKid looks at Ricky...
Great post, novella. Never underestimate the importance of stopping to look back at the facts to access patterns. This is a more quantitative analysis than the common what-do-you-think thread. Kudos.
I don't have time right now to go through all the decades, but already some patterns...
No, bobby, he doesn't give in naturally occurring examples. I'm sure someone's written a book on it somewhere. Bobby, have you considered majoring in psychology? You seem really interested in the subject, but then again, who doesn't want to know how the mind works?
I just ran across...
Yeah, that's what I said. Just reading words with deep associations in your mind can effect you're actions. I really can't get over how just reading the phrase "African-American" can have such a negative affect on test scores.
My roommate was a psychology major, and he said that in an...
I understand what you're saying, bobby, and I'm not saying I disagree, but I want to reiterate what I said earlier to make sure I'm getting across the whole idea of priming. The idea of priming is that just reading a group of words with similar qualities attached to them in rapid succession...
It's nice to have the time to post again. I was starting to worry that I would never get time to get back here. I could whine all day, but I won't. Instead, I'll just say that I've missed you both.
Here are a few examples he uses in reference to priming. The major research that he cites...
