Re: This is a post for John Emerson

I think I've just been scarred for life. Thank you.

Oh, god, I clicked before I saw the comment that it wasn't safe for work. Maybe an update saying really, really not safe for work? I was so not braced for hard-core necrobestiality. ('Don't you mean sado-necro-beastiality?' 'Now you're just beating a dead horse.')

Ahahahahahahahahahaha. Ben sent me those links before he posted 'em. I'm going to enjoy watching people's reactions. I think mine was something like "oh, dear god."

Heh, I was reading that Metatalk thread earlier. I wouldn't have thought that jessamyn would be the first one to bring the goods.

A comment on the second link's thread: "I’m proud of the internet. It has finally procured something so completely nonsensical I can only stare at it and wonder what the hell happened to the world."

That and "ew ew ew" pretty much sum up my reaction to these pictures.

You couldn't pay a dead chicken to fuck you, Fritz.

Nothing happened to the world; this stuff has always gone on. Digital cameras and urls have made it easier, or even possible, to "share."

7 strikes me as remarkably unfair to dead chickens everywhere.

If I've offended any dead chickens, I do apologize.

Is the editing for clarity being rotated? I'd hate to think it falls to one person with other duties.

horizontal rule
12

Like most things around here, it's ad hoc. Whoever sees it first clarifies it.

horizontal rule
13

Next time, maybe try some research, first? Would that kill you?

horizontal rule
14

Because if it did, you'd be eligible for membership in the DCU.

15

Guys, I've started deleting rather than editing for clarity. Also, I think lots of discussion of the TOS is only encouraging. I propose a deletion on sight/code of silence policy.

horizontal rule
16

But I'm not even finished with the first verse of My Favorite Things.

17

Oh, that was you LB? I thought those were the original comments. Sorry.

horizontal rule
18

Can we still talk about dead chickens?

horizontal rule
19

I wonder if Ogged is reading.

horizontal rule
20

You people talk and talk, maybe sing a few folk songs about the dead chicken plight, but at night you go home to your toasty houses and what have you done for us really?

horizontal rule
21

Nobody here but us dead chickens.

horizontal rule
22

I agree we need our second topic to be something else.

Anybody have any thoughts about whether the fact that both of these involve creatures is important conceptually, or just for physical sensation? I've cleaned enough chickens to "understand" the first one, but I've never seen the organ featured on the first picture of the crab.

horizontal rule
23

I wonder if Ogged is reading.

I'm sure he is, with interest.

horizontal rule
24

what have you done for us really?

Lovingly massaged you with scented oils and herbs, and roasted you to a beautiful golden brown? With little crisp potatoes?

horizontal rule
25

this comment thread is beguiling if you're at work, and so cannot see the pictures[?] in question...

horizontal rule
26

15 - I'd just recommend editing over deleting in high-traffic threads since deleting when other people are posting can mess up comment number references.

horizontal rule
27

24 makes me wish I were a dead chicken...

horizontal rule
28

22: IDP, I thought that the crab organ in the first picture (link 2) was actually a leg, and therefore not particularly sexual. The sexual part comes afterwards, of course. It's been a while since I've eaten crab on the shell (and now it'll probably be a while before I eat it again), but wouldn't that be sharp?

horizontal rule

No Spring chicken

Shit, that last "spring" should've been "Spring"

24: "lovingly"? Maybe I'll be reconsidering that Tgiving dinner invite, LB.

26: Small price to pay.

horizontal rule
32

28: So, JM, you vote for creatureness? That the appeal is doing it to these creatures? I think so too, at least in part.

horizontal rule
33

28 makes me think I may be misunderstanding these pictures which I know only through Unfogged discussion of their contents -- is the crab picture somebody inserting a crab's leg into one of their orifices? I am hoping it is the leg of a dead crab? And yes, that sounds to me like it would be painful. Or is it somebody inserting one of their appendages into the cavity of a crab? That would seem to me like a bizarre and ultimately unrewarding activity but not necessarily painful.

No one answer 33. The Kid will just have to see it for himself when he gets home.

Unlikely, Bitch -- tonight is mostly dedicated to band rehearsal, and to minding The Modesto Youngster. (The Modesto Wife will be otherwise engaged, readying herself for tomorrow's medical ordeal.) If I get online at all it will not be to viddy naked chicks and crabs but rather to snark out my frustrations on this and similar comment threads. Speaking of snark, WTF happened to Fafblog!? I am drowning in a sea of unrealized irony.

horizontal rule
36

Lovingly massaged you with scented oils and herbs

LB's been hypnotizing dead chickens.

horizontal rule
37

I wouldn't say that I vote for creatureness, IDP, but I agree with the other part of your comment. Well, as long as "taking pictures of doing it with creatures and then posting those pictures to gross other people out" is factored into there somewhere.

horizontal rule
38

The chicken one was disgusting The crab one I still don't understand. TMK -- if you're wondering what the chicken one showed, thing "That man could have been known as a warblogger if he hadn't had a good dentist"

"thing" s/b "think". (I supposeI could reuse that slogan as the shorter Dan Dennett)

No kidding? Really? That's great! It just happens that I love good food too!

A little bird tells me they're coming back sometime this week.

Should I click on those links or not? I'm of delicate constitution and shan't take well to shock.

horizontal rule

No.

horizontal rule

Too late.

Ah, well. It's not like I was ever planning to eat food again.

horizontal rule
45

is 42 a regular unfogged reader? 'cause god, that would explain a whole lot.

horizontal rule
46

Are you referring to me or to the TOS post that used to be there?

horizontal rule
47

Darnit, I knew we should have kept on editing mockingly rather than deleting.

horizontal rule
48

46 -- i was thinking of you (in 42), not the TOS post (for which I came too late, and am duly confused).

i think the modesto kid only put into words what a lot of others have probably been feeling, about fafblog... and so if yer name really means you do know what your talking about when you say that fafblog's coming back ... then double-w00t.

and if this is all too revealing, or if i'm completely wrong, then edit this...

horizontal rule

Wow. That may be the missing link in abstinence education.

Is the Mineshaft blog-connected or what? If this place is one reader removed from Fafblog!, I'm going to keep reading even after clicking through B-Wo's links.

51

I don't get #2 teh crab one either. I almost thought of that one as art; it sort of reexamines our relationship with food. It underscores the erotic element of all eating.

The first one was just gross and, obviously, NSFW.

horizontal rule
52

I don't get #2 teh crab one either.

Um, you did scroll down, right?

People who have sex with food products such as plucked chickens and cooked crabs are sickos with a psychopathic fear of intimacy. True bestiality involves a meaningful, multidimensional relationship between two sensate organisms, with all the emotional risk that that entails, especially in the case of crabs.

A beautiful poem.

You know, Buck doesn't generally read this blog. I was showing off a little: "Look, look, I got some links," and he saw this post.

"You're posting on a blog about chicken-fucking!? That's disgusting!"

So I've pretty much lost whatever credibility this blogging thing had in the Breath household.

Why? Why? Why did I have to look around that site?

Unfogged, the only blog where saying "Unfogged, the only blog" is guaranteed to annoy Standpipe.

Which is, of course, all the more reason to do it as often as possible.

I'll skip the coke & belly combo, thanks. I'm ticklish, and you'd just end up yelling at me for spilling it all over the sheets, like that scene in Annie Hall.

Except it wasn't cocaine, it was lobsters.

wait, I thought it was a crab?

horizontal rule

No, that was the kitchen scene.

Then what the hell movie was I watching with the lobster snorting?

Kitchen = lobsters.
