Now that’s how a short story is written!
Maryland responds, “but wait! Where are you?”
Are you sure it wasn’t “Are you horses yet”?
I just read the synopsis. Wtf did in just read?
So I saw your comment, went to read the synopsis, and was nodding along like “Yeah, this good, what seemed weird?”…and then hit the line “Looking for the bathroom, Cash discovers a shackled half-horse, half-human hybrid who begs him for help.”
…wtf?
Of course now I have to watch it
It’s an excellent movie, I would recommend watching it, even if the synopsis is insane.
It is an excellent movie, especially if you go into watching it knowing it’s a satire. I went in blind and was totally blindsided
Same, still loved it. The big reveal completely derailed my brain for a solid minute before I started cackling like a madman.
A synopsis for a great fucking movie.
I spent 20 years in call centers. I felt so much of this movie.
Suddenly another voice breaks through the silence:
Ded-a-chek?
Dad-a-chum?
Nice try, you two, but us crabs ain’t falling for your lobstroganda
edit: spelling of lobstroganda
lobstroganda
Wouldn’t it be lobstraganda?
Or lasagna, I dunno. Just hurry up and become a crab already!?
I had lobstraganda at first but amended to lobstroganda due to the quoted sources being lobstrosities.
Well, I wasn’t 100% sure of how King had spelled it so I searched duck duck go for “ded-a-chek” and the Dark Tower Wiki entry for Lobstrosities topped the list. Sound out of deference to the source material: lobstroganda.
Thanks for coming to my TED talk.
Oh “lobstrosities” for sure (become a crab)
But I’m firm on the “lobstraganda” (I don’t care just hurry up and become a crab already! - it just makes too much sense, for us
crabsuh… gotta go, bye!life as a crab is awesome - are you really really sure that you don’t want to join us today already?
Edit: it took far too much effort to make every single word small like that, so I totally lost track of what I was doing. So replace “crab” with… whatever you want:-).
We have an over abundance of drawn butter.
You say we’re not crabs, but what do you call car culture and the main battle tank.
We’re Hermit crabs!
We’re cosplaying as crabs. We are no crabs.
Do you want Prador? Because this is how you get Prador.
Note: You do not want Prador.
Neal Asher’s space operas are some of my favorite books. The Prador, the AI, Spatterjay, he even has a short story with terrifying carnivorous sheep in it!
For reference, just in case you’re actually a crab and have been living under a rock: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carcinisation
Human is endoskeleton optimized crab. Arthropod crab is exoskeleton optimized crab.
Alternate plot line for the movie Contact
“Negative. We are trains.”
Negative. I am a meat popsicle.
Big badda boom
Multipass
I know what you mean. But still…
Not sure if disgusting or delicious.
Toot toot!
anyone with extensive use of kitchen tongs has a primordial understanding of our clicky-clack fates
It’s true. It’s so satisfying to click those tongs, how can we NOT turn into crab?
reincarnation + carcinisation = clickyclackclack
reincarcinisation (clickity clack, crusty comrade)
