even though I had not read the article before reading the post, I immediately recognized it as the onion's work, or at least onion-ish. a half-second of googling confirmed it.

personally I don't think quoting a mainstream written piece verbatim qualifies as "passing off" even if you're not giving explicit credit. we're just a tiny group of folks trying to make each other laugh, including by recycling jokes etc. it's not like someone chasing twitter superstardom by paraphrasing a joke of a semi-obscure person, or a comedian building a reputation by leeching other people's unique humor concepts without credit.

but ya, credit where credit is due is always a good policy. it's not wrong to point out where this came from, just to be clear.

Yeah I didn't know. Gravitron just put it in the chat thread, not like anyone tried to pass it off as a thread or sometin'

I think it's good to not post it in the Good Post Goldmine where one of the two rules is to not post posts from other forums (which, I guess includes publications) but it was a funny article I wouldn't have read otherwise if not for all of this stuff so I'm glad Ride the Gravitron posted it.

Pizza in the morning. Pizza in the evening. Pizza when you get home from work. Pizza when you pet the cat. Pizza when you cry into your ice cream and lie on the couch. Pizza for when you think of Jennifer. Pizza for when you you hug your mom. Pizza for when you see a dog. Pizza for when you picture Jennifer rubbing Brad's dick through his pants at the Christmas party last year and wrote it off as a drunken mistake. Pizza when you see a cute lil' bird out the window. Pizza when you stare at the scale and realize you've gained 14 pounds in two months. Pizza after hitting the gym. Pizza when you laugh at a funny joke. Pizza when your wallet is empty. Pizza when you scrub the blood out of the floorboards but it stains, how it stains, and it won't come out. Pizza for when you describe to the police how you and Brad were actually rather close friends. Pizza for Jennifer, who sobs into your arms. Pizza for when you take advantage of a woman's suffering. Pizza for two kids later and she can't leave you now. Pizza at suppertime. When pizza's on a bagel, you can eat pizza any time!

After 15 years I got burned out on smoking and decided to quit. It was just too much trouble buying the packs, and unwrapping them, and tapping them to make the tobacco denser, and opening the pack, and taking a cigarette out, and putting the pack in my left pocket and putting my other hand in my right pocket, and closing my hand around the lighter in my right pocket using only my tactile sense to guide me, and pulling upward with my right arm muscles to pull my hand out of my pocket, and adjusting the lighter in my hand with my fingers so that the strike wheel was situated near my thumb, and parting my lips slightly in preparation for placing the cigarette between them, and positioning the cigarette between the second and middle fingers of my left hand, and moving my left arm to place the cigarette in my mouth while with my right I placed the lighter in front of and slightly below the cigarette so that when I moved my thumb downward on the strike wheel, bringing it to rest on the lever that unblocked the chamber with the fuel in it, allowing a small amount of butane to escape just as the spark produced by the friction of the wheel on the flint came into being, a flame was created that began to burn the paper wrapping of the cigarette, and then at that moment, inhaling deeply so as to give more oxygen to the flame while simultaneously drawing it towards the cigarette and allowing the flame to catch in the tobacco so that the smoke would enter my lungs.

Too many steps. Now I just breathe.

I never thought it could happen to me.
My pipes were clogged, the water couldn't come.
I called for help. They sent a plumber out.
To my surprise it was a woman! Tall,
and lean and limber. Wow. She knew just how
To turn her wrist to loosen nuts and soon
My pipes began to rumble, I could tell
That this was gonna be a gusher, so
While she was on her knees, working the wrench,
Pert tits straining her plumbers uniform,
I cried "watch out, this duct is gonna blow!"
She smiled and said "That's okay I'm a pro.
This job gets messy. That's my favorite part,"
Then winked, that's when my faucet spurted hot.
Six days of blocked up flow cleared out at once.
She made a satisfied small noise and stood.
I asked her what she charged. She licked her lips.
"Three hundred bucks, but this was fun, So it's on me."

Maybe some background information would be helpful. 'Shaq Uncut' is a very strange book. Part of it just talks about his life, but a vast section of it deals with his ongoing crisis starting in 1996 with a very strange organization that would follow him for years, maybe even to this day.



Shaquille O'Neal" posted:

Chapter 4

The Incident

Playing basketball at that level opened up doors I never thought existed, but it also opened me up to new threats. I felt like the biggest star there was, unstoppable, but everyone wanted their piece. Everybody wanted my name on everything, or for me to be in their commercials, everything. I was even cast as a genie in a movie that revealed national security secrets by accident, and the government had to do a massive conspiracy to remove all copies of it. Movies were far from the strangest paycheck I earned. The reason I was inspired to write this book was because of what was pitched as the strangest promotion of all, and it put me in the most frightful situation of my life.

On my schedule for the day, I was meeting with representatives from the ACC. Atlantic Coast Conference, alright, cool, wonder what they wanted? I still don't know if it was a trick all along, or the hotel just sent me to the wrong conference room, but I immediately knew something was wrong. It was just a room full of a variety of men in suits, all looking very smug. So far so normal. But as I sat down, that's when the strangeness started.

"Mr. O'Neal. I'm Jeff Cordon. Pleasure to meet you. I must say I'm surprised you agreed to the meeting, most atheletes don't see this as a relevant issue."

I replied, "Just Shaq is fine. What, the ACC? That's a very important collegiate basketball association, and basketball is one thing I know a lot about, Mr. Cordon."

Polite chuckles sounded out around the room. Cordon smiled at me.

"No,... Shaq. We're the American Circumcision Council. We promote... issues regarding circumcision in America. And we'd love for you to be the face of circumcision. We've already prepared some proposals."

I was a little confused. "What, so like, you're anti-circumcision? I'm not sure I really wanna draw down on either side of that debate, Mr. Cordon."

The room looked a little anxious all the sudden.

"Oh, no, Shaq. We're pro-circumcision. We think the ideal form of the human penis is circumcised. And you could help make that dream a reality. Did you know less people are getting circumcised every year?"

I looked around a little nervously. What? "No. No, I did not know that."

"And it's only getting worse. We could be looking at a future where every penis is trapped within a thick caul of thoroughly disturbing skin. Evolution could even lead to that caul thickening until penises are lost... forever."

"That sounds extremely unlikely, Mr. Cordon."

"It's science, Shaq."

I made to stand up. "Well, gentlemen, I'm afraid I just couldn't get behind this sort of thing. I would prefer less controversial topics."

"No, please! Hear us out! We'll pay billions!"

I sat dumbstruck. Billions? I was starting to think something was seriously wrong with this guy. Two of the other men quietly got up and left... then closed the door, and I heard a latch turn. I got up and went to the door, turning the knob. Locked.

"What the hell are you playing at, Cordon? Open this door immediately."

The strange businessmen shook his head slowly. "Ten billion dollars. Just tell me why you'd turn that down."

Flabberghasted, I couldn't think of much. I just said, "Well, I'm not circumcised for one. How could I be the face of circumcision if I'm not circumcised?"

Many of the men in the room covered their faces or just plain looked green. The idea of being in a room with an uncircumcised man was extremely disturbing to them, I could tell, but I was getting the heck out of this meeting. Then Cordon drew a bowie knife the size of my face from an ankle sheath, a disturbing sound of metal sliding out of the clasp.

"It's no problem. We can fix it right now. I'm very good." He moved toward me and the fight was on. I was in a struggle for survival: The survival of my dick.

another wrinkle to consider is that even though the idiom is about the one bird that you have, if you had TWO birds, and those birds were a boy bird and a girl bird... well, you know. Like, if the boy bird was very charming, and the girl bird maybe would be kind enough to take a chance on him... maybe the boy bird isn't very smart but he has kind of a dry wit and usually the girl bird tends to like birds that are taller than she is, but she's been with some real jerks and this boy bird seems genuine with her... well, you know. It's called the birds and the bees, but the bees don't have to be involved, and well, you know what i mean at this point, I think. ok, I'll just come right out and say it, I'm talking about bird intercourse. So now on to my real point, if those two birds then create more and more birds, then you're not choosing between 1 bird in your hand or 2 in a bush, you're choosing between 1 or an innumerable amount of birds and their offspring plus while you're in the bush, maybe there's some good stuff in there also, like a snickers wrapper that got blown into the bush and stuck and there's still some good chocolate stuck to it.

You enter the Starbucks. In front of you, there is a line of people waiting to order. There are chairs and tables all around, mostly occupied at this hour of the day by solitary individuals on their laptops or smartphones. However, there are a couple of free tables. There is a cashier behind the cash register and a barista making drinks. You assume there's probably a manager in the back, behind a swinging metal door.

>TAKE GRANDE COFFEE FOR CAD
The barista eyes you warily, but says nothing. You take the Grande Coffee for CAD.
