Her mom taught her the ancient lore. This is good.

I learned dances like this from a book.

WTF are those obelisks on the right?…

Tasty obelisk fries..

“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.

“It’s digestible”

“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:

The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.”  Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index.  Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5]  In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s.  Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco.  Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.

The more you know! :D

I have learned a new thing today.

Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated

I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.

but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!

Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.

Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food

And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes

This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.

It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post

Someone finally answered the question!

Thank God. I really wanted to know what the Fried Cone Obelisks were.

Thank God. I really

wanted to know what the Fried

Cone Obelisks were.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.

I can’t even begin to figure out how to find it, but I vividly remember a blogged account of an American in Greece who needed Crisco for a recipe and could only find it at sex toy store

GIMME THOSE DINOSAUR STICKERS

A young fey creature just tricked you into giving them your name. They are now writhing on the ground in agony begging you to take it back. You have no idea what’s going on.

You can breathe. That’s the first thing you notice which seems ridiculous considering the transformation your friend just went through. The air is sweet and warm like the kitchen after your babysitter pulled your birthday cake out of the oven. Every inhale is smooth and your lungs don’t rattle on the exhale. For the first time, you can hear the pounding of your heart over your own breathing.

“You okay?” you ask. You shield your eyes from the noon sun to better see her up in the tree. “Are you part cat?”

“No,” Kai hisses. Her eyes are completely black and glittering like a stinkbug exoskeleton. The round face all of your classmates have is gone and she seems older with her high cheekbones and sharp nose. She’s shaking so hard that the plastic beads of the necklace you gave her chatter against the ones of the necklace she lied about giving to you. “I’m not a cat.”

You look doubtfully back at the swings. She seemed part cat with the way she yowled and leapt off them, twisting in the air as if her tail caught fire. You were too busy breathing to see her bounce into the tree, but it happened too fast to be human. The way she’s hugging her entire body to the big branch she’s on reminds you of a wet cat in particular.

“I need my mom,” she says.

Happy anniversary to none pizza with left beef!

they’re being haunted by spectres

Remember when Terry played the Joker like a fiddle cause I sure do

Joker status: [ ] Told [ ] Told like a bitch [X] Batman: The Brave And The Told

Terry is literally what bruce would’ve been if his parents didn’t die. Well either that or terry got his sense of humor from his mom.

I love Batman Beyond because it’s basically Spider-Man as Batman with a healthy dosage of cyberpunk.

The best part is this isn’t just Terry fucking with Joker, Terry realized after bats told him “Joker likes to talk” that he likes to talk too. So he decided to answer joker back with something Joker was never expecting. Joker could easily deal with the typical hero “you won’t get away with this” talk or someone being absolutely quiet. But mockery? taking the piss? Telling joker straight up “you ain’t shit?”

He can’t take a joke

Just a ghostie cat with giant mushrooms 🍄🐱

Shout out to Spanish for having the correct word for kitties. This is literally el gato there's no other word for it

we have multiple actually. you forgot gatito and gatita.

HOW could I forget....

Los gatitos....

I have been informed that in Spanish these are also called MICHIS... the winning streak continues

The phrase "Astarion, you ignorant slut" entered my mind a week ago and hasn't left since and that's the only reason this exists.
