surrealism/marijuana references
last...@disinfo.net
at the very beginning, bender breaks fry's alarm clock into the
"persistence of memory" dali painting
of course one of the rooms is a tad surreal as well.
when fry and bender are fixing up their apartment, fry pick up a cigar
with the large clippers and takes a hit like he's smoking a huge roach
with a gigantic roach clip
when looking for apartments they go to the underground place and the
landlord goes " sure it's not all la-de-da like some above ground
places, but if you like DANK, fugget about it!"
also, the apartment they do move into has a plant with suspiciously
pointy leaves on it.

What does "Dank" have to do with marijuana? It just meant it was wet.
Unless... it's been a few years since I've lit up, maybe it's a new slang word.

Are you talking about the scene where Fry picks up Bender's cigar with the
umbrella tip. That is a parody of the old television show "The Odd Couple".

I thought it was just a take on 'The Odd Couple' but fry smoked the cigar
instead of getting rid of it after picking it up or whatever happened in the
original credits sequence.

I always thought 'dank' was supposed to be sort of wet and dull. What does
it mean to you?

I can't remember this, but I think that you should take a break and detox
for a month or so before you go completely doolallie.

The internet has disproved this theory.

i had the show on taped and watched it 2 times in the same night,
(completely sober, btw) and noticed these things, they are there :-)
"DANK" is what you might call some really really good marijuana which
has a smelly, sticky quality to it.
no i'm not stoned all day and yes i'm already "dollalie" or whatever
the hell you said :-)
anyway, just trying to point out that matt groening etc are old hippies
who are filling their tv shows with numerous things to keep your eye
busy.

situation:
i have just formed a new religion, the Order of Castrated Goat-men who stick
Large Pointy Jagged Rocks up our Asses for hours on end, or the
OCGSLPJRUOAHE's. we have declaired that the letter 'I' is a "sacred letter",
and any and all who use this letter are prasing their allegence to the
OCGSLPJRUOAHE. from now on, when someone says " 'I' will be going to the
corner market now", you may decipher their message as "i belong to the Order
of Castrated Goat-men...... and i am going to the corner market.
in closing, it's unfair for people to attribute words, colors, months, and
clothing styles to their specific club, group, organization, hobby, etc.
personally, i have a problem with the gay and lesbian alliance making purple
their "official" color, it was my favorite color long before they "outed"
it.
also, just because some pot-heads refer to their stash as "dank", does not
mean that everyone else has to stop using the word entirely unless they are
refering to reefer.
Krinkle
prasing should be praising, and the pc term for goat men is satyr
sorry to offend any satyrs who come to this newsgroup.

the entire post is based on two things:
1. your ignorance
2. your assumption, coming from whose ass i dont know, that i meant
that the use of the word "dank" could ONLY, singularly mean good
chronic dope.
now, dank is one of the more common slang terms, probably more widely
known than 420. but fuck you anway.
futurama is a funny show, i like it. matt groening is skilled.

innuendos to suggest marajuana at all. dank, in it's context, refered only
to the fact that it was a crummy apartment to begin with, and it was
fighting off a constant attack of moistness from it's surroundings (and as
the squid showed, the apartment was not air-tight).
as for the ignorance remark, i can only laugh. too many people leap at the
chance to play the ignorance card in online conflicts. even if it were true,
i would have to believe that of all the things possible to be ignorant
about, be it racism, sexism, homophobia, or the like, being ignorant about
narcotics isn't that bad.

1. Phallacy would be refering to a penis (or at least sounds like it, as
in "phallic"). I assume you mean fallacy.
2. I've never heard the word "dank" used in refernce to pot before now.
420 on the other hand... woohoo!

ps- i'm a nice person, but you're kind of a brainwashed retard if i
read your posts and base it only on that. ever heard of something
meaning two things AT THE SAME TIME?

from what I remember, whether he was "thinking with his dick" had nothing to do
with what you were talking about, so your little joke (if it was that, and not
just a simple error) makes no sense
unless "thinking with his dick" means something to you it doesn't to the rest
of us
