Big Bird: “The next letter is G. God is for God, who doesn’t exist, and if God doesn’t exist, that means everything is permitted…”
This feels like a very Tumblr joke. Purple prose trying too hard to expand on a simple concept, ultimately losing any real connection to the starting context.
I thought it was just boredom but in a pretentious and French way…
The word is loaned 1:1 from the french word for boredom
Yeah, exactly that.
Wait, what do you mean it’s nameless? It’s called Ennui? Is that not it’s name?
The combination is ennui. Ennui is a conglomeration of despair inducing feelings, among which is the nameless horror.
Ah, ok. I thought it was an umbrella term, not a conglomerate.
Maybe more a consortium, or a concern. Definitely not a corporation; it’s not publicly traded.
N is Neville who died of ennui
The Gashlycrumb Tinies!
Frogs aren’t happy…I had a frog in my back yard last year for 2 weeks. He just screamed bloody murder the entire time. Just hours and hours of screaming at 2am.
I don’t know if he hopped away, or if he got eaten by a predator, but I feel like I appriciate the circle of life a little bit more knowing that fuckers probably dead.
He wasn’t necessarily unhappy. He was probably horny, though.
That’s a good stratagy. I’m going to go to the bar this weekend and just stand next to women. Then just start screaming as if I’m being stabbed, while a basket of puppies burn in a fire. All with an erection.
What could possibly go wrong?
If you’re eaten by a snake because you sound like a frog, I will enjoy the scientific paper that results.
Nothing like empiricism.
What could possibly go wrong?
Lots of watery wet frog eggs in a pond near your bedroom window.
Fuck me… That’s a real word.
Taken from french, maybe ? IDK, I’m not a languiste.
Yes. It’s french for “boredom”, but the kind of boredom that’s results from life being too easy. It’s like being an over-achieving student in a class where the teacher is focused on the kids who are struggling to catch up.
It actually translates to boredom in every context!
