HAPPY THURSDAY THE 20TH EVERYONE

If you can’t find a place on your blog for Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster, then your blog probably doesn’t deserve such majesty anyway.

It has returned to my dash and I cannot fight the compulsion to reblog…

the patrick lobster appears only once in a thousand years, reblog for good luck

Hail thee, Master Lobster!

I feel like I reblogged this before…but it’s Patrick Stewart in a bathtub dressed like a lobster.

That’s worth reblogging again and again.

Based on actual events

Once again @everyone: REBLOG stuff you like!

John Mulaney | The Salt & Pepper Diner

THE BEST JOKE IN EXISTENCE

GOD I JUST TOLD SOMEONE ABOUT THIS STORY

This is one of the best pieces of comedy that I have ever had the pleasure of witnessing. I love this. I have been looking for this online for awhile.

[Audio transcription: I wanted to tell you one story. Uh. This is the story of the best meal I’ve ever had in my life, okay. Happened when I was eleven years old in Chicago, IL where I grew up. I went to a place called the Salt & Pepper Diner, uh, with my best friend John. We walk into the diner one day, and they had a jukebox there, okay? And the jukebox was three plays for a dollar. So we put in 7 dollars and selected 21 plays of of Tom Jones’s What’s New Pussycat. And then we ordered and waited. 

Here’s the thing about when, uh, What’s New Pussycat plays over and over and over and over and over again. The second time it plays, your immediate thought is not ‘hey someone’s playing What’s New Pussycat again.’ It’s ‘hey, What’s New Pussycat is a lot longer than I first thought. The third time it plays you’re thinking maybe someone’s playing What’s New Pussycat again. The fourth time it plays you’re either thinking ‘whoa someone just played What’s New Pussycat FOUR TIMES or at least someone played it twice, and it’s a really long song.’ So the fifth time is the kicker, alright? 

Now, John and I we’re watching the entire diner at this point, alright? Most people have gotten wind as to what’s going on. And we’re staring at this one guy and he’s sitting in like a booth with his stupid kids jumping around, and he’s like staring at his coffee cup like this, and he’s been onto us since the beginning. And he’s sitting there, and his hand is shaking, and he had this look on his face like, aw, like he had just gotten his thirty day chip from anger management. And he’s staring like this, and the fourth song fades out. It’s dead quiet. Then, I don’t know if you know this, but the song begins very quietly…

BWAAAH BWAAAAAH WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT and he goes GOD DAMN IT and pounds on the table, silverware flies everywhere, and it was fantastic. But a word about my best friend John and what a genius he was because when we first walked into the diner, okay? When we first got there and I’m punching in the What’s New Pussycats alright? I’ve punched in like 7 at this point then John says to me ‘hey hey hey before you punch in another What’s New Pussycat let’s drop in one It’s Not Unusual.’

Oh yes. That is when the afternoon went from good to great. After seven What’s New Pussycats. In a row - It played seven times. Suddenly - Dum da dum, IT’S NOT UNUSUAL and the sigh of relief that swept through the diner. People were so happy. It was like the liberation of France. You know for years scientists have wondered can you make grown men and women weep tears of joy by playing Tom Jones’s It’s Not Unusual and the answer is yes you can. Provided that it is preceded by seven What’s New Pussycats. It’s true. Dead honest.

And on the other hand. When we went back. Holy shit. It’s Not Unusual fade out. It’s dead quiet. BWAAAH BWAAAAH WHAT’S NEW PUSSYCAT people went insane. People went out of their minds. No one could handle it. No one could handle it. And they were surrounded by this seemingly indifferent staff that was just like ‘yup some crap as always.’ 

They unplugged the jukebox after eleven plays. And that was the best meal I ever had.]

reblogging again coz this time it has audio transcription (bless you) and it’s still forever hilarious omg

If this is your first time seeing the Salt & Pepper Diner story, I envy you. Sometimes I wish I could hear it again for the first time.

For anyone who needs an honest, wholesome laugh today - here is one of the greatest comedy moments in modern history.

Schrodinger’s OC

Avatar

Elaborate

Sherlock Holmes is in the public domain, so everyone is free to make their own version of Sherlock Holmes as much as they want.

Therefore it’s Schrodinger’s OC because it’s both Arthur Conan Doyle’s original character, but also your original character at the same time if you make your own take on Sherlock Holmes. The OC is both yours and not yours at the same time.

This also applies to:

  • Pretty much anything made by Shakespear
  • Most of Greek mythology (Specifically the Odyssey and The Illiad)
  • Pride and Prejudice
  • Dracula
  • Jekyl and Hyde
  • The three musketeers
  • Anything else in the public domain but these examples are the ones I’ve seen original characters made from.

You make an original take with an original cast for any of these? Totally legal, and an example of Shrodinger’s OC.

So basically, if I really wanted to, I could have Sherlock Holmes team up with the Three Musketeers to solve the Strange Case of Doctor Jekyll and Mister Hyde (who turns out to secretly be Dracula), and throw in Puck from A Midsummer Night’s Dream for the heck of it.

You can and should.

Schrodinger’s OC

@birdinggal I want you to know “Sherlock Holmes fights Dracula” is AN ENTIRE SUBGENRE OF HOLMESANIA.

Also I am reasonably sure I’ve seen Holmes-and-Jekyll stories a few times. And in the original canon, Holmes is an English gentleman (in the formal “part of the gentry” sense, he’s a squire), but closely related to a French family. Sadly, the Musketeers predate him by about 200 years.

HOWEVER.

H.G. Wells’ works entered the public domain in 2019.

He wrote the novel, and coined the phrase, “The Time Machine.”

I STRONGLY encourage you to exploit this fact, and assure you I have plenty of room for another Holmes-vs-Dracula in my heart.

more public domaine characters 

everyone in the league of extra oridnary gentleman so

  • Capitaine Nemo
  • Dorian Gray
  • the invisible man

It’s so fucking weird to see Tubby on my dash from just like a random unrelated blog I follow. That’s just my best friends’ cat. I commissioned a plate painted with her likeness.
