Random thoughts

[Mudcat]

So I went out beside my building and placed a garbage dumpster against the wall. Then I took a person from the sidewalk and threw them at the wall directly over the dumpster. They kind of splatted on the wall and fell straight down - landed in the dumpster.

It got me wondering: what if I threw them really hard? Would they bounce? So I took another person walking down the street and threw them at the same spot on the wall - this time really hard. They actually did bounce a slight bit but it was basically negligible. They still fell into the dumpster.

I think it is theoretically possible to project someone at the wall so hard that they would bounce right over the dumpster and land on the ground in front of it. But I tried it a few more times and threw the people with all my possible strength ---> it wasn't even close. I tried it with a catapult and then a cannon --> they still just hit the wall and dropped right into the dumpster.

I don't know. Maybe it just isn't possible as dictated by the physics of the situation.

So I think that's it for now.



Killed By A Human

So you really just learned about John Wayne Gacy in the last few days? That kinda freaks me out. I really would have thought he was common knowledge. Maybe that is yet another indication of how I am all old 'n shit.

Also an indication of the extreme dark streak in my general knowledge. Lotta psycho-killer trivia stored away for no good reason.

I was surprised by that, too. But I'm also all old 'n shit. And I grew up in Illinois.

 

[Cougar Bait]

Illinois sucks. I know, I'm stuck here.

 

[MrX]

I will never be back, except to visit. That's for sure.

Shitty weather and killer clowns everywhere.

 

[Mudcat]

I think of Gacy in the same category fame-wise as Jeffrey Dahmer, Ted Bundy, Son of Sam.

I guess this question is for Matty - and I'm not meaning to be a dick in asking it - seriously, I'm not - are they well known to you?

All these serial killers are essential American pop culture figures. It's not surprising that Matty would be unaware of some of them considering he spent the most of his life in Quebec which is bizarrely cut off to a lot of American culture.

different nations, different cultural references

what a strange concept

Another reason for Tron to fart in the general of Quebec.

Can't drive worth a shit and don't know who the fokken Killer Clown is.

 

[Matty]

I'm an excellent driver.

Well I know but these are guys who have all had movies about them and whose names would be referenced repeatedly in all different kinds of situations. Dark comics would have lines about them. Especially Dahmer I would think. Body-parts-in-the-fridge jokes. Their names would come up in edgy music. I think there was even a band called Sons of Sam or something like that.

Anyway, I wasn't meaning to be a dick; I was just gauging the cultural disconnect or whatever.

I guess I came off as a dick.

Do keep in mind that I didn't understand a word of English before the age of 8 or 9. Didn't seriously start learning/reading/speaking it before getting my first real job at the age of 21.

Goody for matty. it strikes me fagotitty(?) how much of Canadian perspective appears to be revolved around American stupidity.

[Blitty]

We know all the serial killers very well.

 

[Mudcat]

Turns out there was a band called Dahmer formed in Quebec City in 1995 that did songs about serial killers and other humorous stuff for 5 years or so.

Goody for matty. it strikes me fagotitty(?) how much of Canadian perspective appears to be revolved around American stupidity.

More unavoidable than faggotitty. American culture comes at you like a bombardment. Nothing you can do to avoid it short of permanently sealing yourself in a box.



Me personally, I am more well-rounded anyway. I am conversant in Canadian serial killers such as Clifford Olson, Pickton, Bernardo. I am even aware of the Russian Chikatilo whose rape-murder numbers surpass all those Americans getting recent mention here.

Pickton was misunderstood IMOramirez
