Roast Beef asks if Onstad has seen Eraserhead because the movie revolves around the protagonist's struggles dealing with a disgusting-looking baby.

Eraserhead story: I showed it to a friend of mine while I was making ziti. After mixing it for five minutes he told me to stop, as the sound of the pasta, cheese, and sauce was causing undue additional disturbingness.

It should, however, be mentioned to all prospective parents. Perhaps we should start making it a mandatory part of sex ed classes. Plus, hey, getting kids to watch Eraserhead is pretty crucial too I'd say. Gotta learn these kids up some culture.

He has done some erotic photography if I am remembering correctly. Along with the previously-mentioned scenes in Mulholland Drive. That was actually probably the closest he came to just straight-up mainstream sexy too. Nothing especially weird or otherwise to comment on the eroticism and take it into new, interesting, and artistic ways. Mulholland Drive basically was like "Hey, these are some rad breasts. Isn't it great to look at them?"

Not having lips, you'd think cats wouldn't be very good at coping with any can opening. Though they could probably drain it directly into their throats from cat-sized bottles.

My buddy went to a Mensa meeting and tried to smooth some broads with raisins in their purses, and came back with just the craziest little newsletters Mensa people make about themselves.
A lot of it is made up of letters to the editor complaining about how they joined Mensa to save the world with their massive intellects but all the other little Mensa factions have the wrong ideas about saving the world etc., so everyone just sits around doing puzzles and isn't it a shame.
And then there was this lengthy poem about how young black people don't seem to be appreciative enough, and the refrain was something like:
"But the answer is blowing like wind in the sand,
For I am white and can never understand."
And just... I shit you not. I mean what the fuck goes wrong with your head when you do well on tests and nothing else in life.

I wish I could remember what picture I posted there, as it netted me a lot of chubbs... and now I'm overcome with the agony of insatiable curiosity.
It was of that brontosaurus-looking baby from Eraserhead.
I did rather deduce that from later postings after having made the comment, but thanks for clarifying. ^_^
