    As much as it is possible to live one's best life during These Times™, supping on a hunk of meat off the bone and sipping from a bejeweled goblet might be it.

    There were plenty of legs to go around.

    I guess now we know the answer to whether he was burying or exhuming.

    As for "go back to your cocoon", Mike heard it during this racing clip.

    The bug was so laid back about it,"Go back to your cocoon, man...", like the lebowski of insects, "this aggression will not stand, man"

    Was it not just a roundabout way to compare you to Wilford Brimley ..?

  • SpinelesSSpinelesS Registered User regular
    My first thought is they were saying your old, like the people from the movie cocoon. (I know it's about old people and alien cocoons, but that's it.)

    Anyone old enough to know Cocoon is old enough to be made fun of for being old, though.

    What 13 year old today knows about Cocoon?

    Oh yeah? I didn't hear your mom complaining about my cocoon while she was busy rubbing her hypopharynx up and down my aedeagus .

    So glad people picked up on the "Cocoon" reference, because I too am old...

    All I can remember clearly about that movie is Wilford Brimley and Don Ameche talking about how hard their dicks were.

    I think Gabe may need a grill tutor.

    I dunno, it kinda tracks that they'd think the movie Cocoon is about olds living in cocoons.

    They'd kinda have the basic understanding of the movie but also, having not actually watched it, would be oblivious to the fact that only aliens actually live in the cocoons and the olds are just parasites.

    Maybe he thought that Gabe needed to return to his Elder Womb.

    If I was to spend an inordinate amount of time examining this exchange, I might come to the following conclusion. In a vast plurality of moths and butterflies, the final winged form is used predominately for mating. Such that several species do not even possess a functional digestive system. They emerge from the cocoon, mate, then die all in a very short time relative to their entire lifespan. So perhaps the pejorative intent was, "Dude stop fucking around and dieing out there!"

    And now Wilford Brimley is gone. I find it hard to believe he was only 85. I'm in my 40s and it seems like he's been a crotchety old man my entire life.

    The key is becoming a crotchety old man early. He was 51 in Cocoon.

    Broodax’s species clearly undergoes incomplete metamorphosis.
