Lets Analyze Stuff

Admit it. You guys love to overanalyze things. Anyone who analyzes SEX is just too analytical. But hey, if that's what you like go for it. So I decided to add this page for analyzing other topics, things more important than that other stuff you guys have been picking over. So here it is. I will throw out five topics to get you started. Add your own topics too Enjoy! - JasoNtheArgonaut


ok so i was sorta bord/in the mood and i thought id pick apart the song untuchable face by ani difranco

  • what do you think of the song?
  • what do you think she means?
  • what does it mean to you?

here are the words:

                             untouchable face
                        think i'm going for a walk now 
                        I feel a little unsteady 
                        I don't want noone to follow me 
                        except maybe you
                        i could make you happy, you know 
                        if you weren't already 
                        i could do a lot of things 
                        and i do
                        tell you the truth i prefer the worst of you 
                        too bad you had to have a better half 
                        she's not really my type 
                        but i think you two are forever 
                        and i have to admit, you're perfect together 
                        so fuck you 
                        and your untouchable face
                        fuck you 
                        for existing in the first place  
                        and who am i 
                        that i should be vying for your touch
                        who am i 
                        bet you can't even tell me that much 
                        2:30 in the morning 
                        my gas tank will be empty soon 
                        neon sign on the horizon 
                        rubbing elbows with the moon 
                        safe haven of the sleepless 
                        where the deep fryer's always on 
                        radio is counting down the top 20 countrysongs 
                        out on the porch the fly strip is 
                        waving like a flag in the wind 
                        you know i really don't look forward 
                        to seeing you again soon. 
                        you look like a photograph of yourself 
                        taken from far far away
                        i won't know what to do 
                        i won't know what to say
                        so fuck you...
                        see you and i'm so perplexed 
                        what was i thinking 
                        what will i think of next 
                        where can i hide 
                        in the back room there's a lamp 
                        that hangs over the pool table 
                        and the fan that's on it swings 
                        gently side to side 
                        there's a changing constellation 
                        of balls as we are playing 
                        i see orion and say nothing 
                        the only thing i can think of saying

  • Caniballism is perhaps mankind's biggest taboo. What are your thoughts on the practice?

Actually, I don't know if I'd have a problem with cannibalism. I mean, I wouldn't murder anyone for food, and that would be my biggest concern... that people would start murdering for food. But I don't really mind the thought of eating people that die naturally. (Except I think, being on the top of the food chain eating what we do, we're problably full of toxins). But I kind of like the thought... of a body being eaten by a person's friends, like in the book "Stranger in a Strange Land". But I read another neat book as well. It was written by a lady, who was staying with some missionaries in Fiji ages ago. And she had the cutest description of cannibalism... talking just about... about them eating only the bodies of their enemies whom they've killed in war, and the respect and honor with which they did it. It was neat.

- Christy

I don't have any problems with the moral aspect of it, either. Like eating people who have died, especially if they have given prior permission. I wouldn't really mind if my body was eaten, although I wouldn't like thinking about it too much. My only problem with the concept is that it makes me want to gag. It just sounds very unappetizing to me. I just don't really think of peoples' bodies that way, in the same way that I don't think about dogs' bodies that way, except moreso with people because I interact with the humans in the bodies more. So to me it would just be...weird. I would only do it if it was the only thing to eat for a long time, and there was still hope and still a good deal I wanted from life. -courtney


  • (in a Jerry Seinfeld voice)
    • grape nuts are good for nothing except putting in yoghurt. marina
      • Check it ~ Honey. Lots of honey. Mix it all in and you have crunchy honey clusters. And lots of milk. Delic. :-Danopian

  • Socks. Do you have left foot specific socks and right foot specific socks? If so, why?
    • I don't (Ari)
    • Yes. Each sock also goes with another specific sock. They aren't marked or anything, and they are all the same type of sock, I can just tell which sock goes with which. If I had the left and right on he wrong feet, or wore two socks that were not a proper pair I would have it in the back of mind all day.... this, as far as I know, is my only major wierdo fixation - Jason
    • the only designated right and left socks i know are toe socks. i personally don't have a pair *sigh* but yeah. marina
    • No, I don't even have much in the way of pairs... I have a whole bunch of the exact same kind of black socks, so the only difference is the age. I do try to get two that are about the same shade of off-black though. ~z~
    • No. I'm lazy. I just throw all my socks in a bag and grab 2 every morning. This gets me 'Colour-blind?' comments, 'Why are your socks different?' comments, and all sorts of other comments from people who think I'm insane. You never know, they might be right. Nikki
    • I have 70 pairs of socks (used to have 86 but I got rid of some), but I don't care which foot they go on, so long as I'm wearing a true pair that matches. Sock seams used to bother me when I was a little kid--really bother me (so I often didn't wear them, even in the middl eof winter); sometimes they still do every so often. -Rachel H, Mar 02

If you dont put the left sock always on the left foot a so forth, your socks will last longer.


  • Why must Americans use such a complicated term for "elevator"? Wouldn't it be preferable to adopt the British term of "lift"?
    • Because we can (Ari)
      • Because it's more fun to say Ell-eh-vaa-tor than to be blunt and say "lift". Carrie who sticks up for those fun-to-say words.
    • Because "Elevator" sounds very snobby and brittish, and we like to sound snobby and brittish sometimes, even if the brittish don't.
      • actually, to the unrefined american mind, "ele-vay-tour" sounds distinctly french, and since americans like to pretend to be cultured (and also because the word french is relatively related to greasy slices of fried potato. and americans are creatures powered only by their mouths and what they can put into them.)
    • r the precise reason of getting them confused with escalators, of course!

  • Why the hell are those disgustingly thick spaghetti noodles so much more popular than the superior angel hair noodles?
    • Because they're less fragile, easier to make "Al dente"[2] and not have a pile of mush when they're cooked (Americans[1] are lazy, y'know?). Besides, spaghetti is more chopstickable. (Ari)
    • Because Those 'superior' angel hair pasta noodles are nasty and get turn in to mush soooo much easier. Besides the Penne noodles are the best and they hold just the right amount of sauce too! (Ruth)
    • Not if you know how to cook them right. Just don't go by how long the package tells you, but by testing them. [4] Even with the best sauce in the world, spaghetti gives that cheapo "chef boyardee" quality to everything. Penne is good for white or cheese sauces, but not really other kinds. Oil based sauces are only good with angel hair or fettuccini, tomato based only with angel hair. White and cheese sauces are quite flexible however. None benefit from speghetti. - Jason
    • Elbo Macaroni Forever!!!
      • I'm rather partial towards fusili, myself. Rainbow fusili! It's fun that's why!

  • Duc(t/k) Tape
    • Aaaaw, those poor, baby, silver ducks.
    • No, no. Duct tape. For taping air ducts. That's why it's silver, too.

~It is said were I come from (Alaska) that Duck Tape holds our state together.

    • Duct tape is like the Force. It has a light side, a dark side, and it binds the universe together. (love the saying)

  • The question made famous by Bowie: Which do you prefer as a concept prostitution or sliced bread? Please explain your answers.-
    • Sliced bread. Less dangerous, yet equally satisfying. An unnatural combination, that, safe and satisfying. Usually the two are exclusive. (Ari)
    • I do not know that there has ever been decent quality pre-sliced bread. Although the majority of protitutes are ugly crack heads with bad personal hygeine habits, I am sure if one has the money, and lived in the right place, they could find quality hookers...... an interesting side thought: pre-sliced bread encourages lazyness, so guys sit around and get fat and out of shape to the point where they must sink to using hookers. The prostitutes (the $5 crack head ones anyway) have little money and subsist on 25 -per-loaf wonderbread. This keeps the sliced bread industry afloaf. So, perhaps to an extent, the two are mutually dependent. - Jason
    • Aaah, yes, but that's just pre-sliced breads. What about self-slicing? Is that dependant? (Ari)
    • I'm no expert, but I doubt the average crack whore eats a lot of unsliced bread, since it tends to be more expensive. So it is probably not dependent on prostitutes. - Jason
    • i prefer the concept of sliced bread, the human race taking control of their environment and making it easier to spread butter, to the concept of prostitution, women degrading themselves and selling their bodies.

of course, that's only my logical opinion. my first thought was prostitution, because... well, prostitutes make better characters than most people who regularly eat sliced bread. there's just more to talk about. i can't imagine having a conversation about sliced bread.

      • you just did.

I think we have to analyze analyzation.

If I let myself I analyze everything way too much. I read silly meanings into everything and take things much too seriously. I start thinking about childhood and past influences. It's hella fun. And hella silly. I do know some people who analyze too little I think. You gotta think about some things before they happen, figure out what you want/need to happen.

I'm tired. Someone else write about this now. --marina


[1] "Americans", meaning "People who live in North America", not "People who live in the United States".

[2] "Al dente", literally "To the tooth", or in layman's terms, "Chewable". This is as opposed to "Al Dante", which Dante, being the 19th Century(?) Author that he was, and being famous for his book "The Inferno" (About hell and eternal damnation. Pleasant stuff, that), means roughly "burned crispy". [3]

[3] Nick makes awesome Pasta al Dante for dinner a lot.

[4] and, of course, the best way to test them is by throwing a noodle at the ceiling. if it sticks, it's done.
