5 for Troy Hurtubise

Sometimes, we all feel like that electrocuted squirrel. Stuck. Our lives melted onto a nauseating, bleak and repetitive thread of fate. In desperation, we try to look at the other side, only to see more clearly the futility of our struggles.

My P.H.d thesis is a treatise on the overarching paradigm establishing a power hierarchy between the electric wire and the squirrel as it relates to third wave feminist erotica in rural Latin America.

And five stars for this thread.

Witty Pop Culture Reference, I offer to you, free of charge, a title for your thesis:

From Shine Louise Houston to Xochiquetzal: Toward a Demotic Metaphor Via the Reification of Ventricular Fibrilation and Apoptosis of Sciuridae.

Or--

Don't Bite the (Under)Wire: The Problematization of B(r)easts

Also, 4 stars for the video.

It needed better editing.

If that's a probem... why five stars?

Because I'm a bouncer.

YES! I was coming to tell this story and you beat me to it!

Our neighbor knocked him down with a basketball, not cool.

We just need Thundercougarfalconbird to comment now. And Severian.

Two feet on the live wire and one on the ground wire. It stank and there were flies. Several people took turns trying to knock Sparky from the wires with the basketball -- I think I offered a reward.

How was that not cool?

This looks more like our sparky, and think the narrator knows more about electricity than me:

The child's delight is palpable. That's some awesome cool stuff when you're a little kid.

You and Rape Van Winkle make me proud.
