Silverblade5 he/him Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 In band today, we realized that a band class can sound a lot like a language arts class. This led to jokes on MLA formatting for solos. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 I just learned that there is a town in Arizona called Catfish Paradise, and now I'm imagining it in a song a la "Ganster's/Amish Paradise." I am also imagining the moment Ding Dong, TX was named and it is amusing me. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many of those sound like people confused "What should we name our town?" for "I'm going to McDonalds, want anything?" 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kaymyth she/her Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 There's also a Golconda, Illinois. This caused much hilarity back in college and we were all playing Vampire: the Masquerade. Missouri just likes to steal other cities' names. Mexico, Cuba, Venice, New London, Versailles (do NOT ask how it's pronounced - you won't like the answer). There's even a Texas County whose county seat is Houston. And me? I grew up in Memphis, MO. It's in Scotland County, just 20 miles down the road from Lancaster. Another one of our school rivals was Milan (also a cringeworthy pronunication).

TwiLyghtSansSparkles she/her Posted September 19, 2016 Report Share Posted September 19, 2016 Night Vale: Spoiler Intern Danielle shares my first name. She also did exactly what I would've done as a Night Vale Community Radio intern (assume she's doomed, refuse any field reporting, and eventually leave when forced to take endless pictures of a floating cat). This is a little eerie. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's a podcast set up like a community radio station for a small city called Night Vale, where the host, Cecil, reports on a totalitarian government and Lovecraftian horror in a super deadpan way.

Zathoth Posted September 20, 2016 Report Share Posted September 20, 2016 Have you ever wondered why my scary stories are so awesome? I just took a nightly walk and I think the answer is: "Because I am scared of everything" I decided to walk down the hill towards the school, realized that there is a small factory of somekind next to it. I have lived here for years so of course I knew it was there, I just havent realized how bizarre it is to have a small industrial building on a parking lot right next to a school before. I walked around on the school grounds for a minute, decide to sit in the gazebo that is for some reason on the playground, who puts a gazebo on a playground, seriously? I however dont go near it as it is obviously cursed or whatever. On my way back up the hill again a cat starts mewling at me, now my first reaction is to pet it, it is a cat, but it is also way past midnight and this is their domain. I will be cursed or something if I pet it. As I keep walking I see another cat, just chilling on the side walk, staring at me. I thought it was the same cat as previously for a minute. It wasnt, that would have made me even more paranoid. And finally, about 50 meters or so away from home there is a black cat, just looking at me. In review I was paranoid about An industrial building A gazebo Cats 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
