2/20 After Bill's post goes up

[charlastan]

HEY. HEY FORD.

CALLED IT!!!!!!

👈👈

[He did not call shit; he is jumping to conclusions.]

[cryptograms]

[ Huh. Maybe it really was that simple. ]

I suppose you did.

Though it's strange that he talks like they HAVEN'T broken up.

[charlastan]

YEAH, THAT IS KINDA WEIRD.

YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT DENIAL THOUGH. SOMETHING SOMETHING A RIVER IN EGYPT, HE'S A PYRAMID, THERE'S A JOKE IN THERE SOMEWHERE.

[cryptograms]

Maybe, 'It's no surprise a pyramid is in denial'?

[charlastan]

NO CAUSE WHY WOULD A PYRAMID BE -IN- DE NILE? THE MUMMIES WOULD GET ALL WET AND CURSE EVERYBODY

The mummies don't curse people, Stanley. A select few have curses placed on them.

There'd be many more firsthand accounts of curses if they were more common. Did you know that eating mummies used to be a widespread custom?

[charlastan]

NO I DIDN'T AND I KINDA WISH I STILL DIDN'T

BUT I FEEL LIKE YOU'RE GONNA TELL ME ANYWAY EVEN IF I DON'T ASK WHY

SO

WHY THE FUCK

cw: discussion of cannibalism

[cryptograms]

An extremely poor understanding of medical science.

It was common practice in Europe to create antidotes and tinctures from human body parts. Powdered skull to help with migraines and epilepsy, blood for vitality, and so on.

Mummies were just a convenient source of raw materials.

SHEESH I'M NOT A DOCTOR OF ANYTHING AND EVEN I COULDA FIGURED OUT THAT WASN'T GONNA WORK

"YEAH SURE LET'S EAT THE DEAD GUY! THIS GUY WHO ISN'T ALIVE ANYMORE IS SURE GONNA MAKE US FEEL MORE LIVELY!!! DEFINITELY WON'T GIVE US ANYTHING HE DIED OF EITHER!"

[cryptograms]

As I said, an extremely poor understanding of medical science.

In any case, do you really think Bill's behavior is just denial?

[charlastan]

I MEAN I WANNA BE RIGHT, SO YEAH, I DO. HE DEFINITELY SOUNDS DIFFERENT THOUGH.

I DUNNO, WHAT ELSE WOULD HE BE HAVING A MELTDOWN ABOUT? THAT WHOLE MESSAGE IS SOMETHIN ELSE

[cryptograms]

Stanley, you want to be right about everything. We need a better criteria than that.

[ On the other hand... ]

I don't know what else it could be, unless they didn't break up.

[charlastan]

LOOK, I'VE BEEN WRONG A LOT SO I FIGURE I'M OVERDUE TO BE RIGHT CONSTANTLY IN MY GOLDEN YEARS HERE

[But, that's just bickering for the sake of bickering.]

HUH. BUT IF THEY'RE STILL TOGETHER THAT'S EVEN WEIRDER...HARD TO PICTURE HIM CARING ABOUT ANYBODY ENOUGH TO PITCH A FIT OVER IT YKNOW?
