Aquaman, King of the Seven Seas, has Fucking Had It with You, Man. Also: Conversations Overheard at the Suburban Neighbourhood Pool, if the Suburban Neighbourhood Pool was in Deadwood.

  • Mass sea-monkey suicide. .
  • Those sea monkeys fucking had it coming. They aren't *real* monkeys, man. They're just superannuated krill with a die job.
  • What's the problem with that second link, exactly? Sounds like a perfectly normal conversation between two mothers to me.
  • Those sea monkeys fucking had it coming. They aren't *real* monkeys, man. They're just superannuated krill with a die job. Plus, their father was a nazi.
  • What's the problem with that second link, exactly? Sounds like a perfectly normal conversation between two mothers to me. They used the word "asinine," everyone knows a mother's unconditional love cancels out the meaning of the word at first occurance of birthing. This is why you, as a mother, couldn't spot the problem! Word hunt! Yay!
  • Yeah, the 2nd link should have had more convoluted, flowery, round-about language to sound like a Deadwood script along with the cursing, but I thought the idea was funny. tracicle is right, in Oz & NZ, we do have filthy mouths, which would probably get us arrested in the Yoo-Ess. There's a mother with a young girl in this apt block, I was watching my language talking to her about a rogue feline in front of her daughter, she turns around & replies loudly "oh yeah, that fucking cat with the huge balls.."
  • Chy, the nuzild erudition went to Hull in a Hunbucket when a dog said "bugger" on telly. Now they're allowing fuck after Shorty Street and Outrageous Fortune is The Sopranos with flat vowels and mullets.
  • oh shit, now I remember, the dog saying "bugger" in the car advert, wasn't it? Over here, we laughed. I think it only started to sink in after we read about the kerfuffle in NZ. That was a very funny ad. Aussies are generally too laid back to care about such stuff. The religioids try to get us worked up now & again, but.. feh
  • But why would Aquaman talk like he's from the 'hood?
  • He's, like, trying to be, like, all intellint and all that, but, like, his language skills are all, like, filled with useless, like, words, dude.
  • The thing that amazes me the most is that McSweeney's etc. etc. is almost exactly as lucid and entertaining as Something Awful's front page posts. Sometimes it's good but most of the time it just seems strange, like "a surrealist on amphetamines" as Douglas Adams once said of failed comedy writers.
  • Should a quaman meet a quaman Comin' doqn the quay, Should a quaman kiss a quaman, Need a quaman flee?
  • Yes, six.oh.six, Yes! Dis McSweeney's! Three times the bastards have rejected my contributions, a pox on them!
  • I'm seriously doubting the veracity of this. I think this was written by Aquaman's little known understudy, Bubble Boy.
