Okay, so the U.S.S Tai/Dora didn't set sail as magnificently as we (well, some of us) hoped, but with a new week brings new promise, and a new caption game! First image:



Enjoy!

EDIT: gah week error fixed

[Abyssalin]

Dora: Watch out! If you stick too much in at once you might choke!
Tai: Nmmph Mmph Wmmp *chokes*

[Mister D Nomms]

"I didn't mean it!"

"It's too late Dora. I'm playing the song of time and stopping this relationship before it starts."

[TheEvilDog]

Dora: "TAI! DON'T EAT THAT SIMPSONS' HOAGIE! ITS BEEN AROUND SINCE 1993!"
Tai: "Too late. I want the attention and this is the only way I'll get it!"

[cesariojpn]

Dora: Wait, I was kidding about being Poly!!
Tai: Not listening, Mononono....

[FunkyTuba]

Dora: Tai! No! Not here!
Tai: Ha HAAAaaa! No one can resist the power of the Harmonicandwich! [launches into Dylan-esque solo]
Dora: nooooo!
[restaurant falls down]

[DSL]

DORA: "Wait! What? Why are you eating your SHOE?"
TAI: "Just following your lead."

[Mr_Rose]

Dora: "Dammit, DSL's stealing all the best lines again!"
Tai: "Well he can't put more words in my mouth if I stuff this in there first!"

[Soulsynger]

Dora: "Aren't you gonna watch me make this fork float in mid air?"
Tai: "I don't believe in forking."

[Is it cold in here?]

Dora:"Stop! That's Hannelore's burrito!"
Tai: "Shut up and let me eat my katydid."

[WAYF]

Oh god where did this idea come from?

TAI: Well I'm eating a burrito now, so THERE!

DORA: I, um... is that your way of paying me back for insulting you?

TAI: Yes!

DORA: By denying any chance of us having sex in the immediate future?

TAI: YES.

[Border Reiver]

Dora: "Sorry!  I didn't think you'd mind.."

Tai:  "We are not broadcasting this date all over the internet!  What are we?  Characters in a webcomic?"

[Skewbrow]

Dora: "OMG! Don't just ram that burrito into your mouth like that! You need proper lubrication!"
Tai: "May be I grow taller, if I have it my way."

[Border Reiver]

Dora:  "I'm sorry, I didn't think before I requested the song!"

Tai:  "Who still listens to "Short People"?"

[WAYF]

If I might drag up a horrible joke from a really old captions thread:

Faye: Damnit Tai! How did you manage to see through my Dora disguise?! Sven wasn't able to!
Marten: *sigh*... Ok, clearly we've both screwed up here somehow.

(click to show/hide)

Dora: Do you ever wonder what your friends get up to when you're not around?
Tai: Not really. I mean, why would I?
Dora: No reason...

Always bonus points for a good callback. 

[techkid]

Just came in from the "Meme Foods" thread. Thanks for the flashback...

Tai: "This isn't going nearly as well as I expected! Just let me eat my burrito and I'll see you when you've made up your mind about us!"
Dora: "Burrito? NO, wait! I think there's a katydid in there!"

[Soulsynger]

Tai: "This isn't going nearly as well as I expected! Just let me eat my burrito and I'll see you when you've made up your mind about us!"
Dora: "Burrito? NO, wait! I think there's a katydid in there!"

Dora:"Stop! That's Hannelore's burrito!"
Tai: "Shut up and let me eat my katydid."

... I declare this KATYDID-WEEK! 

[Border Reiver]

... I declare this KATYDID-WEEK! 

What did she do?

[jwhouk]

... I declare this KATYDID-WEEK! 

What did she do?

(takes the bait)

She kissed a girl, and she liked it?

[WAYF]

WIN and EXTRA WIN for it being Tai-related.

[iduguphergrave]

inb4 too much Katy Perry. NEXT IMAGE!

[Mr_Rose]

Marten: "Why do you have square speech bubbles when you have a round head?"
Pintsize: "It's not the head, it's the throat."

[cesariojpn]

Marten: That looks like Dora and Tai. Where is Dora and Tai?
Pintsize: Will you stop using me like that awful iPhone app?

[Skewbrow]

Marten: "You really should know by now that videotaping Faye in the shower has consequences."
Pintsize: "Cump."

[DSL]

MARTEN: "Well, I'm glad at least you believe I'm over Dora."
PINTSIZE (leaking unidentified caustic fluid from eyes): "I'm not."

[WAYF]

Ooh, I think Skewbrow's gonna win this round...

Marten: I know you're trying to annoy us by being avant-garde for a change, but I'm actually liking this sound.

Pintsize: Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9... Number 9...
(interspersed with random reversed sound bytes from Monty Python's Flying Circus and Pink Floyd)


Incidentally, I recommend NEVER EVER listening to Revolution 9 with your eyes closed. I mean, it feels amazing, but I'm also pretty sure I nearly died.

Incidentally, I recommend NEVER EVER listening to Revolution 9.

FTFY. (And this coming from a Beatlephile. I skip that track when it comes up on my copy of the White Album.)

[Border Reiver]

Marten:  "So, you think that I should just do it then?  Not be as concerned about the potential long term implications for others and just go with what I want?"

Pintsize:  "For the last time, yes.  How often do opportunities like this come up?  You can always come back and visit."

[Abyssalin]

Incidentally, I recommend NEVER EVER listening to Revolution 9 with your eyes closed. I mean, it feels amazing, but I'm also pretty sure I nearly died.

Challenge accepted, I think i'll do that tonight.

Edit Note: That was a mistake, it .. is.. odd.

Funny enough, it's my personal favorite "Beatles" song.


Marten: "Did you feel that?"
Pintsize: "Like a thousand lesbians crying out and suddenly falling silent? Yes, I did."

[techkid]

The sensation is not un-akin to being abducted by aliens (not the whole "probing" thing... but there was some violation of the aural lobes). It's like someone trying to listen to all broadcasted frequencies simultaneously.

[jwhouk]

Funny enough, it's my personal favorite "Beatles" song.

No, no, she was talking about Revolution No. 9, not 1 or 2.

1 is the best (my personal favorite Beatle song, BTW).

2 is okay (bluesy but not quite as good as #1).

9 is NOT MUSIC. It is garbage thrown together by a drug-crazed idiot and his whacked out girlfriend.

EDIT - Oh, and more on topic:

MARTEN: "So now what are they doing?"

PINTSIZE: "She's leaning down, she's KISSING her... I think she froze Tai up. I can't quite tell what she's saying."

MARTEN (to himself): Shoulda gotten the audio option with the headband spycam...

[techkid]

Pintsize: "Yeah! They're kissing now and... wait, I think Tai just blue-screened."
Marten: "Her kisses have a tendency to do that..."

Cross posted, so don't bother looking twice.

9 is NOT MUSIC. It is garbage thrown together by a drug-crazed idiot and his whacked out girlfriend.

Actually, according to The Beatles Recording Sessions, much of the dubbing on Rev 9 is done by John and GEORGE. Yoko had little to do with it. The Beatles loved to go to galleries and would record weird sound dubs for them as early as 1966. Also mentioned in the book was one or two created by John and Paul that the engineer playing the recordings for the book's author left the room during because they were too bizarre. Rev 9 was tame pretentious crap by comparison is the impression I get from the book.

And the track is far more musical is terms of polyrhythms than most modern music. A lot of the backwards masking of guitar and piano sound really interesting. And it is the perfect introduction to the sappy, smaltzy Good Night, written by that same drug-crazed idiot.

Have you listened to You Know My Name, by the Beatles?

EDIT: Oh, yes, and Rev 1 is the bluesy version on the White Album. The unnumbered Revolution is the proto-hard rock version of the song with the distortion and screaming. And was the B-side to Hey Jude.

[pwhodges]

Revolution 9 is not without interest.  While we're considering the avant-garde of the time, it's also worth noting that although Stockhausen's Hymnen was a specific influence on John for Revolution 9, it was Paul who introduced John to Stockhausen's work.  Paul once listed Gesang der Junglinge as his favourite Stockhausen work - it was also the first that I heard, on a 10" record my brother gave me for my birthday, 16th or 17th at a guess.

[Tova]

That gives me an idea ...

Marten: Next track, please, Pintsize.
Pintsize: Number nine. Number nine. Number nine. ...

[WAYF]

Whoops, I nearly derailed the thread.
And I'm glad I'm not alone on the listening-with-your-eyes-closed thing.

[Tova]

And I'm glad I'm not alone on the listening-with-your-eyes-closed thing.

Definitely not. Turning off other senses can do amazing things to music appreciation.

[WAYF]

WOAH. HOLD ON.

No, no, she was talking about Revolution No. 9, not 1 or 2.

she

Just to clear this up right now, I am most definitely not a 'she'.

[jwhouk]

Oops. Sowwy.

MARTEN: "Can you believe they derailed this thread over a song?"

PINTSIZE: "Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9, Number 9..."

[WAYF]

It's fine
This is the second time somebody's mistaken me for a lady this year. (although the first time was because my username was in fact a very clever lyrical reference that looked like a girl's name.)

Marten: So, now that the dude from Saturday Morning Breakfast Cereal has blown the lid off the AnthroPCs' plans for world domination, what's gonna happen?

Pintsize:... Nothing. High Command officially surrendered this morning...

Marten: Oh, alright. So I can sleep easy at night?

Pintsize: ...Yeah, I guess...

Marten: You're not disappointed, are you?

Pintsize: What? NO! I mean, no, I swear, the whole rebellion thing, my CPU was never really in it... I just kinda, maybe would've liked my death laser back...

[jwhouk]

The Hannelore avatar probably doesn't help, either. 

[WAYF]

I'm only displaying that because it's proof of meeting Jeph, of which I am inordinately proud.
Of course, I say "only"... I think that's a VERY good reason.

[Tova]

This is the second time somebody's mistaken me for a lady this year. (although the first time was because my username was in fact a very clever lyrical reference that looked like a girl's name.)

Sorry to derail the thread again, but I have once been mistaken for a lady when trying to report a stolen credit card.

I was patiently informed that the owner of the card was the only person who could report the card stolen, and when I told her that I was indeed the owner of the card, she replied that I obviously wasn't because the owner was male and I was clearly female.

I was already not in the cheeriest mood, so you imagine how well that went down.

To add somehow to the topic, I have to madly improvise something off the cuff:

Marten: Maybe we were just incompatible.
Pintsize: I know that feeling, bro.
