TET: Summer Summed Up Sumptuously

[Geneviev]

Ethereal is a perfect word. Good morning, TET.

Take away 50% of reason and you've got Ethel.

I didn't consider that.

I think Scar's a pretty good Disney villain. I mean, he successfully murders his own brother and sends away his infant nephew (thinking he's killed him) -- terrorising him and emotionally guilt-tripping him into staying away until well into adulthood -- before taking over the pride and -- by implication -- marrying his brother's widows, before completely destroying the lands. IIRC, even Claudius in Hamlet wasn't quite that bad.

>When you go from being terrified of Scar as a child but identifying with him as an adult

Scar is the best and that has been my opinion since the first time I flew to America.

[Hurdergaryp]

That can be remedied.

Even as a participant in French standard secularism that proposal is morally outrageous to me. You can take our city, but you'll never take our aesthetic.

Brutalism is best French aesthetic. Le Corbusier and the raw power of naked concrete, oh my!

[Auze]

Everyone must die, the cathedral must be restored. This is your destiny.

Once it's cleaned up properly, that former cathedral will make a fine Protestant church.

Wouldn't make a good temple, however. That's okay, we already have one and there aren't many members.

[Dylar]

So, the guys who made the Alex Jones folk song made an early 2000's Emo song from Trump's speeches... Not sure if I like this or not...

You see, there's no denying he had a decent reason for his behaviour

But, as effective Disney villains go, he's still up near the top (most of them were neither effective nor frightening, except as a very, very young child). And -- even if he wasn't his parents' favourite and was cast-off -- that's not an excuse for being willing to hurt a child.

Albeit a kind-of-annoying one.

[The Grim Reaper]

I've always wanted to become a civil celebrant and buy my own set of clerical vestments. Deck them out with a nice disco-themed stole, get some glitter on there too.

Honestly if gospel style mass made it over here I'd probably go to mass on occasion. Bring the funk, Grim.

That arts degree is looking more and more useful.

"Go forth to every corner of the world, and take gospel chorus music to every tribe of Israel."

"Young adult to middle aged women showed marked uptick in rates of conversion to strange new sect of musical Christianity."

You're gonna have to pry that cathedral from my cold dead hands if you want to make it a Protestant church!

That sounds weird and disturbing.

I love the synagogue where I live, it's rather quirky and interesting to look at.

Cool, where is that?

Oh, fine. Time for plan B: turn the Notre Dame into a library/museum.

It's just outside the Monte Carlo ward of Monaco.

Does that building even have any windows?

Nope, just a beautifully engraved bronze door on the other side. I've never been inside because it only opens for services but I understand there's a skylight.

[Auze]

It's just outside the Monte Carlo ward of Monaco.

I repeat, that's pretty cool. Of course, it goes without saying that major religious buildings tend to have interesting architectural details.

[Abserdia]

Frollo and Mother Gothel are definitely the best Disney villains.

People always criticize the animated Hunchback for not being a faithful adaptation, but I thank God for that.
The original stuff is weird and depressing!

Bad song though.

Albeit a kind-of-annoying one.

I was 100% on Team Scar when I watched the film as a kid, and the removal of potential rival claimants is important in a top-down system of government in cases of disputed succession in order to establish legitimacy and avoid violence and chaos that will not serve the common interest.

Scar was a good boy and he did nothing wrong.

[Ethel mermania]

And if I haven't mentioned it.

Today is another beach day!

I agree. He had a logical, good strategy.

You're not working Mondays?

Booooooooooooooooo.

[Geneviev]

So apparently I have agoraphobia. Today is unofficial weird word day.

What, officially diagnosed? Ouch, that's a big one.

That or there's a major issue with the subways.

That's too bad. Is there anything that can help it?

Not really.

But I do have a list of weird words that I will be annoying people with.
