My Stabbing Pen

 pen.jpg

Just in case you thought I was kidding.  By the way, I love it when people leave me comments telling me to relax, or to lighten up.  I love it because it reminds me how stupid and myopic 99% of the general public is.  Here's a hint: this blog exists for me to vent my brain, not to be smarmy and fuzzy and talk about my favorite things and unicorns1 and lollipops.  I'm not here to tell you how special you are or how much I like you, because chances are that I hate you.  When people read this blog I want them to see it as one of the last few bastions of hope in the storm of banality raging across the American cultural horizon.  I'm not saying I'm succeeding, but that's what I desire.  So please, please, please, don't ever fucking tell me to relax.

Anyway, as it happens, I've been in a good mood lately.  Things are indeed coming up Rambler.   I'll have something more substantive to post about after another day or two of stewing. 

1 To be clear, the reference to Pyg is not an example of banality, but of proper unicorn reference 

UPDATE:

You seriously need to relax man. Just calm down. You're way too tense. I can sense the anger and you need to channel that into more creative uses. I'm suggesting buying a sketch pad and some nice pastels...imagine you're in a field full of clover...a rainbow spreads overhead...and unicorns dance near the stream.

Now, just inhale, exhale slowly, finding your center...and draw.

Wow, Cuff, you're right.  I do feel better.

I don't like it when people tell me to relax either. Or smile. I'll smile and relax when I damn well please.

Putting the pen on what looks like a plain piece of plywood made it look like a hostage photo. You scare the crap out of me -- there's no way I'd tell you to relax. Christ.

I'm going to go offer up a prayer of thanks to the unicorn gods that I never have (and never would) tell you to relax, and that you continue to fight the good fight against banality (which is taking over a lot of blogs like. . .I don't know. Insert your own appropriate takeover analogy here).

And then I'm going to go rock myself gently in the corner, because you're kind of scary for 7:30 in the morning.

Whatevs, rcr.

If you relaxed (whatever in the hell that word actually means) you wouldn't be the hipster-hatin' dude that I've grown to appreciate.

Keep doing what you're doing at a frentic, heart attack pace.

Geez, RCR, you're so uptight.

"I don't like it when people tell me to relax either. Or smile."

Yeah. Next person who tells me to smile gets a pen in the neck like RCR suggested.

Fuck the relaxaholics. If you can't be acerbic, vengeful and petty on your own blog then what has this world come to? Will we Disneyfy everything on the internet? Will there be no bastion left where you can say "feel my rage, bitches!" without some "turn that frown upside down" asshat trying to give you a sunshine enema.

Talk to the horn, cause the tail ain't listening.

It's okay, unicorns feel you. Most people don't know this, but unicorns can be pretty fucking bitchy. They don't like many things, either. Posing on a windy cliff? Sure. Reading blogs? Unicorns don't care about blogs. They poop on blogs. The stab the stupid general public with their mighty horns of death.

Unicorns, man. Assholes. Really.

They don't give away the pens. The pen may or may not be stolen. As for the plywood, that's actually the butcher block thingy in my kitchen. I'm surprised no one commented on the white particulate matter that I didn't notice until I posted this. It's actually just flour. Or comet dust, I'm not sure. Anyway, now I have the Mr. Stabby theme stuck in my head.

If it was coke it wouldn't stick in those patterns.

Or...so I've been told.

i like how the particulate matter is a glowing neon pink. and if you were to relax, you might lose the snark, and then where would we be?

Coke is for me, not for tables silly rabbit

I've commented several times over the last few days that I need to borrow the Rambler's stabbing pen. People don't understand what I'm saying, but it makes me feel better. Relaxing is for wusses who can't hold their alcohol.

This is why I leave RCR rude comments from time to time. He needs the conflict. He thrives off it.
