I'm not very good at introductions, in real life or online. I'm a 30-something who's trying to survive and keep the cat fed. I try to remain positive and am always there for anyone who needs someone to talk to.
I reblog a lot of whatever takes my fancy.
I can’t believe this is in the English Wikipedia :D
Oh and to be absolutely clear: yeah, every year several people unbirth himselves (always hims) doing this. Summer doesn’t kick off here until you see in the news that the first tourist of the season has splashed his brains off in Palma de Mallorca.
Uh .. what?? Let me check something…

I… What… Well… Oh fuck it, why not, sure.

Tim Curry candidly reveals an ill-fated affair during the filming of Muppet Treasure Island (1996)with Miss Piggy.
They say that Michael Caine did so well in Muppet Christmas Carol because he treated the Muppets like fellow actors, and Tim Curry did so well in Muppet Treasure Island because he treated himself like a fellow Muppet.
I’d say this counts as strong evidence toward that theory.
“It’s digestible” has got to be the laziest goal I’ve ever seen achieved by a food product.
“It’s digestible”
“It’s digestible” is pertinent!! Okay, for those of you who haven’t researched Crisco for writing fic about gay sex in the mid-late 60s:
The first-edition of The Joy of Gay Sex, published in 1977, declared, “Vegetable shortening may be the best lubricant, since it is not only greasy but also digestible”[4] Such a statement perhaps gives new meaning to the companies boastful declarations that “Its digestible” and “Crisco has been making life in the kitchen more delicious for years.” Similarly, in the 1978 sex manual The Advocate Guide to Gay Health, Crisco even earned an entry in the book’s index. Discussions of the shortening’s use as an anal lubricant indicate its popularity, with statements such as: “The lubricant, typically the cultic Crisco, must be copious.”[5] In fact, Crisco was so synonomus with gay sex that discos and bars around the world took on the name, such as Crisco Disco in New York City, which was one of the premiere clubs during the 1970s and early 1980s. Other clubs or bathhouses, such as Club Z in Seattle, even featured murals with Crisco. Thus, Crisco was conversely also one of many things that led to the formation of gay identities during the 20th century.
Love this post for so many reasons but most especially because this is from all the way back in 2012 and and yet not a single blog in this thread is deactivated
I enjoy that not only does this have a link to an actual source, but the link still fucking works.
but @rhea314 you didnt include a picture of the crisco disco! AND MY GOD THE DJ BOOTH WAS A GIANT CRISCO CAN!
Go dance and get fisted. Fucking iconic.
Love the gay history, but i just wanna correct that the “it’s digestible” in the gay stuff was a reference to crisco’s tagline it had been using since 1911, the actual meaning of its digestible is because it’s main competition came from “enhanced” lards which were rendered pig fat mixed with non food thickeners that literally did not digest and caused people to basically just shit out pig cream, since crisco was veggie based the body digested it along with the food
And in case you were still wondering, @mudwerks.. Tuna Croquettes
This post is the opposite of net zero information. Not only did I learn several new facts about gay history but also we rounded our way back to the original question of the tag line and the mini obelisks.
It’s a net profit of information. 12/10 post
Someone finally answered the question!
Thank God. I really wanted to know what the Fried Cone Obelisks were.

Beep boop! I look for accidental haiku posts. Sometimes I mess up.
I can’t even begin to figure out how to find it, but I vividly remember a blogged account of an American in Greece who needed Crisco for a recipe and could only find it at sex toy store
