[notyourutopian]

That is a very in-depth guide to a game that I am pretty sure you could fit inside a word document.

Wow.

Maybe it'll help...

[parodeity]

http://www.wikihow.com/Act-Like-a-Mermaid-at-School

how do you top this

[notyourutopian]

Wow.
Whoever wrote that deserves a medal.
Except
How are they walking around as mermaids with legs and still talking?
Isn't that like, the basic rule of the curse?
Legs = no voice

[parodeity]

i think that sometimes like in fiction theres like
mermaids that only go mer when they touch water
or whatever?

[notyourutopian]

I can't say I'm familiar with the specifics of the wider reaches of mermaid literature.
So I'll take your word for it.

But I guess disney lied to me.

[parodeity]

dude disney lied about a lot of details in the stories i think
i mean
for a given value of "lied"

[notyourutopian]

So.
What you're telling me is

That the Genie of the Lamp did not really sing showtunes?

[parodeity]

actually i choose to headcanon they got that one right

[notyourutopian]

Well that's a relief.
I hope lions really sing too.

I have a lot of impossible dreams.

[parodeity]

im pretty sure the entire point of disney is selling kids on dreams so
youve officially bought into what they wanted to sell
congrats

[notyourutopian]

I'm not seeing the downside to that.
So what about you?
Were you too cool for the disney dream dave?

[parodeity]

i liked aladdin?

[notyourutopian]

Not my favorite but it's fun.
Although it's the music that pops into my head the most I think.

[parodeity]

yeah actually that one had super catchy tunes
i can show you the world
etc

[notyourutopian]

Shining shiiiimering splendid.
And now that's stuck in my head.
Better than Frozen I suppose.

Anyway.
I'm gonna go finish tomorrow's paper editing before the pacman stuff spreads to my computer.
I'll talk to you later Dave.

[parodeity]
