The use of "hymen" as a verb confuses me. To me the verb would mean "to cover with a thin mucous membrane." But man, that doesn't even make sense in this context.
fourninefoxtrot » pro 1 day ago
The purpose of a hymen, ultimately, is to break.

The fellow with the self-applied cognomen of "Yojimbo" who admits to having butchered Mozart's Turkish March seems to be asking Teador not to break his ass.

It seems rather like rhyming slang.
Without the rhyming.

To hymen an ass could be:
1. to make it virginal again
2. to plug it up

It does imply previous penetration as well.

the association of the hymen with virginity is partly a myth. there is wide variation in hymens.

This is pretty much how I feel every time I play Mass Effect. I'm like "I want to go down to that planet" and it's like "here's some historical facts: you can't go down to this planet, fuck you".

Then the Xbox explodes and I get yelled at by my parrot who DOES NOT LIKE bananas or crackers but does like steak and potatoes.

You cannot get yelled at by a parrot unless you first yelled at that parrot. I have no sympathy for you.

Ronda Alla Turca, not to be confused with Blue Rondo a la Turk, but definitely to be confusing when pyschobilly is added.

Oh and hey, why is Philippe still in his little massive man attire if he's still really shined off at Ray?

Rondo alla Turca was my favorite song in Donkey Conga.

I would pay a reasonable amount of money to hear it rearranged in such a manner, and then have to play a bongo styled peripheral game controller along to the beat.
jeffspaulding » neu 1 day ago
I prefer Brubeck's Blue Rondo a la Turk. Paul Desmond's Alto break is sweet.

However, he can stick the soprano up Kenny G's ass (only Coltrane can make it sound decent).
fuzzyshoo » neu 1 day ago
I haven't been able to find a decent version of the song. The best I've found is performed by Radio-Sinfonieorchester Warschau (seriously) in A major.

Though, chubby for making me read your post in a Groucho Marx voice/style.

if Philippe can't make it there, no one can.

sidenote: my enjoyment of Achewood has been magnified ever since I began pronouncing "Philippe" as "Fee-LEE-Pay".

that wasn't the most accurate approximation but damned if I'm gonna mess around with upside-down vowels and the everpresent "schwa" sign.
nice-on-water » neu 1 day ago
I think since Ultra Peanut's phonetic rendering all those years ago of Philippe as "Feereep," the pronunciation is officially Phi-leep. So.
mawk » neu 1 day ago
that crossed my mind, but I've never been one to pick canon above a badass name like "Fee-LEE-Pay". think of me like a bad fanfiction author who clings to his character interpretations even as they're shot down by the official sources.

just, more affable, and with nicer shades.

Tacky Television Technicion Ticks-off Teodore

Terdore ozikju woz coming through on his promise to phillop when he encountered his first problem the man whom he hired to make the television spot in the first place!

when I asked the ethnic I.T. (un)professional he had these words to say:

"I sent that DUDE rondo alla turca rearranged for psychobilly and yet he hymen's my ass still. unbelievable"

the story was coming together. was teordre the one out of line? i reinterviewed him to be sure.

Therdel: "I asked him to move phill closered to the planet. that it would make him more trustworthy"

Me: "and then what happened"

Thronda: "the image disappeared when he tried to move it then then the system had a heart attack and we had to load up our backup and then NOT move phill closer to the planet"

It all made sense now. the story has come together.

despite stereotypes indians are no good at computers

That video editor man resembles a genie. I wonder if he got someone to wish for his freedom and now he doesn't know what to do with his time, so he walks. Lately he bought a video editing rig so he could "earn" it.
