Oh I've been going full shymalan all the way on the ends of these stories, didn't realise there was a menu.Buttrock as zen wrote: ↑Tue Apr 06, 2021 4:23 pmLol sorry it’s just an experiment to write without dialogue tags couldn’t resist the cheap shymalan
I'm not familiar with House of Leaves, but I was trying to get at something about the relationship of our society to the past. The things we remember that aren't spoken or talked about. It's weird because American society is sort of nostalgia obsessed at the present moment (and it's not just confined to the MAGA crowd), but at the same time, there's something about it that still is "forbidden" or "off limits" about much of the past. It's kind of like.... collectively we're obsessed with the wrong things about the past.. or something like that. I can't really articulate it so I'm glad I was able to grasp it better with metaphor.This whole thing was creepy as fuck, kind of like House Of Leaves pt 2.

Paid in full mother fucker.
Hey Butrock as zen, would you help me to better grasp what the themes are here? ThanksButtrock as zen wrote: ↑Sun Apr 04, 2021 6:55 amMambo #1
From antiquity, we can with slight certainty trace the archtypal mambo to the Old Kingdom, from the walls of the tomb of Neptut II, the so called Man-bo Sapem, or “Mambo of the Harem”. However, some modern egyptologists (Franzerl, Crumb in his later years) maintain that this was a silent dance which would confound our project here.
Mambo #2
The next reference in the historical record is in Villedelacroix’ Templar Chronicles (1274). “And the Greeks were commanded to send the evil women out from the city. This was done: the evil women were all put in a vessel as the bard intoned the Mambeaux Dei joined by the doleful strums of a lute.”
Mambo #3
Willhelm Grismeldus, in an apocryphal draft for his epic poem De Liminus, refers to our third Mambo:
The globe of blood forg’d rives
Deep from sky to sea and drown’d
The mambo gild with greaves of sin
Until the slab resound
Mambo #4
The fourth mambo was found on a sugar plantation and cradled like a baby. The jungle buzzed around her face, a little bit of Monica in the mangrove, a little bit of you makes me your sweat stained military shirt. a shiny black gun barrel. The river a blanket of cold sucking around her body, flailing towards a red bank, grey market methadone in a Havana bar
Just kinda fucking around trying to write in an epistolary style. Since the song is about laying mad pipe I imagined the mambo as a symbol of sex in various periods. dystopian periodsSomeInternetBloke wrote: ↑Thu Apr 22, 2021 5:50 pmHey Butrock as zen, would you help me to better grasp what the themes are here?
