KATY: Dary, you better tuck in that bottom lip before a bird comes by and poops on it.
DAN: Yeah Daryls, yer lookin a little perturbeds over there.
DARY: It’s just... I seen something when I was in the city.
WAYNE: Probably another brunch bistro, fuckin’ citiots.
KATY: $15 for a sandwich. Pull your finger outta your ass.
WAYNE: That’s what I said, I said pull your finger outta yer ass.
DAN: So what’s the rumpus, Grumpus?
DARY: One night I ended up at a club with Dan’s second cousint.
KATY: Who, Garrett?
DAN: No, Jarrett.
DARY: And on the dance floor at this club, we seen this quirked-up white boy.
[Wayne sits up in his chair]
WAYNE: Quirked-up... white boy?
DARY: Quirked-up white boy.
DAN: You means like a skid?
KATY: More like a methed-up white boy.
WAYNE: Quirked up... white boy.
DARY: White boy was quirked up.
DAN: Quirks Bentley?
KATY: The Quirks of Being a Wallflower.
WAYNE: Was he quirkin’ hard or... hardly quirkin’?
DARY: Oh, he was quirkin’ 9 to 5.
DAN: Probably wearings his Quirkenstocks.
KATY: No need for a knee-quirk reaction.
DAN: No swags though, that’s for sure.
WAYNE: Oh, there's no way he had any swag, there’s no GODdamn way.
KATY: No swag on a quirked up white boy.
DARY: He had a little bit of swag.
KATY: Just a drill bit?
DARY: Just a horse bit.
DAN: Now Daryls, we all seen a quirked-up white boy with a TimBits of swag from time to times.
DARY: I know, but... it’s almost not worth thinkin’ about.
WAYNE: Get this guy a fuckin’ Puppers.
KATY: I shoulda packed a lunch for this.
DAN: Out with it, Dary.
DARY: My point is, he was busting it down sexual style.
[Wayne sits up again]
WAYNE: Busting it down... sexual style?
DARY: This quirked up white boy, with just bits and bites of swag, was busting it down sexual style.
DAN: How was it sexual styles?
DARY: I can’t really describe it. You know it when you see it.
KATY: Can confirm.
WAYNE: Katy...
KATY: I’m just saying, when you see a white boy bust it down, you can tell if it’s sexual style.
DAN: Y’know, Miss Katys, Professor Tricia says—
KATY: Withdrawn.
WAYNE: ...sexual style.
DARY: It was definitely sexual style.
WAYNE: OK Dary. Dary, OK. So you’re saying... this was a quirked-up white boy... with 16-bit of swag... busting it down... sexual style.
DARY: Quirked-up white boy, with a mosquito bit of swag, busting it down sexual style.
DAN: Can’t say I see a problems here.
KATY: Figure it out.
WAYNE: That’s what I said, I said figger it out.
DARY: I AM trying to figure it out! And what I’m trying to figure out is...
KATY: Tick tock.
DARY: ...is he goated with the sauce?
[Everyone sits up]
WAYNE: Goated... with the sauce.
DAN: Goateds with the sauce?
DARY: Goated with the sauce.
KATY: A quirked-up white boy… with a Ritz Bit of swag… busting it down sexual style… and you want to know if he’s goated with the sauce?
DARY: Almost not worth thinkin’ about.
WAYNE: Get this guy a fuckin’ Puppers.
DAN: Well, Daryls, given the evidence as laid out befores us... It seems fair to assumes he’s goated with the marinaras.
KATY: Goated with the Cholula.
DARY: So he’s goated with the chimichurri?
WAYNE: Goated with the Mae Ploy.
DAN: Low-sodium soys.
KATY: Rick and Morty Szechuan.

Anonymous asked:

Is it really correct to say that Biden vs trump won’t have an affect on those at the bottom? Even if it’s slight? There’s at least some emphasis on free healthcare, raising minimum wage amongst the dems right?

Here's a little tip: when you start talking in terms of "emphasis", "centering", "focusing", you're not talking about politics anymore, you're talking about branding. "Free healthcare" and wage increases are ideas that are merely associated with the Democratic brand right now, as abortion and immigration restriction are associated with the Republican brand. These are not commitments, these are not party line items, these ideas are brands in themselves, usually with a slew of NGOs and non-profits to speak on behalf of whatever "cause" they claim to represent. It's all middle-class makework programs masquerading as politics.

You have to understand that the political sphere isn't just a marketplace where two rival products (Democrats & Republicans) compete with one another to win over buyers (voters), thats the neoliberal ideology obfuscating the political. It is a duopoly, an implicit agreement of cooperation between the 2 dominant forces where no other competition is feasible.

You also have to understand that the class composition of both party's donor bases are fundamentally the same, they just represent different factions of the ruling class. Often, both parties are supported by the same people (see: billionaires who donate handsomely to Democratic and Relublican candidates in the same races).

In the case of a political system that is run as a duopoly between 2 parties, every policy or law that does pass is basically a matter of consensus, the feuding and bickering over details is largely just political theater ("politics is showbiz for ugly people").

Democrats get the ACA passed, Republicans get tax cuts, all any of this means is that the ruling classes determined that these measures were appropriate for whatever reason, and leave it up to the party apparatchiks to manufacture the conflict to maintain the illusion of political struggle between 2 fundamentally opposed sides.

The bottom line though is that both parties are equally complicit in the fucking over of the underclass, whoever that is comprised of. Neither party will ever do anything to critically undermine the other, or else the stable and balanced system of power falls apart. If you do see that happen, and not from the influence of a communist party, you might have what is called a "bourgeois revolution", where the shape of the power structure might reconfigure, but only in a way that maintains the dominance of the bourgoisie over the exploited class.

What does the God of your childhood look like?            A soft apparition pigeoned in the attic,
a wound eating you one year at a time?
