If you give a man a lego, he can make a shoebox. If you teach a man to buy a bunch of legos, he can make a shoestore.

Delusional kid
You just think you feel better
EAT THIS SOUP RIGHT NOW

Around the table
Chasing a sneaky rodent
Then it exploded

da weasle

DING! :)

Israelite Matron

It's kind of an obscure movie scene but could be generalized.

boxer, not diver
mother #&$%ing miracle
needle in the heart


adrift upon the waves
born amid sperm whale vomit
soon spray'd on ladies

ambergris (sp?)

Darn that was quick.


DING.

I just re-watched the first Jackson/Travolta scenes of Pulp Fiction.

I was thinking about Pulp Fiction, because they have that needle scene. And now that you mention it, Samuel Jackson swears a lot. I seem to remember a fighter. Yeah, Bruce Willis was a fighter.

That has to be a DING!

Good one!

Yeah, Willis was a fighter who was supposed to go down in the 5th, or something. But he didn't. That's why "punchy" (Butch) was in so much trouble with Marsellus Wallace.

And most of the exchanges between Vincent and Jules were "fucking this fucking that." My favorite is what I think was a mistake but left in...when V and J are walking to Flock of Seagulls et al's apartment, arguing about why Marsellus pushed Tony Rocky Horror out of a fourth story window, and Vincent says "and Antwone should have fucking better known better..."

I've only watched it like 100 times or something. :blush:

Yeah, props to UT.

Confirmed.


"We just experienced a mother-#@$%ing miracle and I want you to mother#@$%ing acknowledge that!"

I have seen an abstract for a philosohpy seminar where Samuel L Jackson was referred to as "an icon of contemporary negritude".

Look. I know it's been posted before. Fuck it.

one is most fond of
generous posteriors
verily, forsooth

wooly twins to bathe
soaped-up, separated,
forever alone.

dark balance with light
yet changing at its fastest
only just gone by.

I like big butts and I cannot lie!

You otha bruthas can't deny...

Tow'ring fractured spine
has more manly meat-herders
than Lions' dinner

One dwellar would find these very useful, but only one.

Gone by a little while ago now, actually, and was going in opposite directions.

eclipse

Not eclipse, but you're quite close. And it starts with an E.

Everything starts with an E :rolleyes:

might as well try... evening ?

Ooh, very close. It went by about two weeks ago.
It was travelling in one direction for you but the opposite for me.

Like the toilet flushing?

equinox

It must be Elenin...

I got hung up on the space junk coming down but the "E" threw me...

Winner!

You've known your own age
You've got hundreds of statues
Third seems beneath you.

bronze

correct!

In the red.
Home sweet home.
Another time, another place.
Fictitious with a parallel from across the pond.

(YMMV, perhaps you can name both!)

Don't get the last line, but ... Brokeback Mountain?


wooly twins to bathe
soaped-up, separated,
forever alone.

a tube with a turn
in a bath that doth churn
life's mystery.

If life's mystery = gravity
tube = Archimedes' screw pump ?

Kinda ;)

Brokeback mountain's cowboys are better than Dallas' cowboys ;)

ETA: Reply to Lamplighter

Haha, nope. Clever, but way off.

Oh and that is a haiku clue to the previous haiku about the wooly twins.

Even with the clue, I'm not touching that one...

Haha, it does sound kinda dirty! But it isn't. It is most definitely not dirty in any sense.

did you lose another sock between the hamper and the drawer again, Zen? I hate it when that happens.

why does the water drain the other direction on the other side of the equator?

Ding Ding

The answer was Lost Sock.

wonderful!

More, please.

Wild guess... Suez and Panama Canals?

(Wizard of) Oz and Australia.

You're on track with two of the same kind of thing; but, they're out of this world.

You got the gist of things being fictional; however, the Cellar Brits would be more keen on the subject than the Aussies.

Dr Emmet P Brown and Dr Who.

You're getting close to one of the things.

Superman and Dr Who in a phone booth ?

October turkey
Amber liquid, amber fruits
Show gratitude, eh?

You're almost there! The clue "home sweet home" refers to places of origin. I emboldened Dr. Who when earlier quoting you to redirect you beyond the people/characters (Dr. Who is the story, the lead character is simply the Doctor). Congrats so far on seeing the story parallels and going for both of the possible answers, either one of which solves the riddle.

This one has stagnated; so, here are two answers either one of which works:

In the red.
Home sweet home.
Another time, another place.
Fictitious with a parallel from across the pond.

Gallifrey
Covered in red grass.
The last child of Gallifrey (the Doctor).
Gone from the present, time locked during time war.
British Sci-Fi about a superior race on an alien planet, lost to disaster, giving Earth a space and time travelling hero with other extraordinary capabilities.

Krypton
In the light of a red sun.
The last son of Krypton (Superman).
Gone from the present, exploded.
American story about a superior race on an alien planet, lost to disaster, giving Earth a space and time travelling hero with other extraordinary capabilities.

NEXT

Sorry for not pursuing... I had nowhere near enough knowledge to penetrate those spheres.

(I did spend some time trying to put together the "red" as mortage forclosure, etc., but that got to be too silly even for me.)

You're Welcomesgiving, jah?

not mine.... or theirs.....

How about non-observance of Columbus Day; i.e., Indigenous People's Day ?

Canadian Thanksgiving?
