Mind-blowing elegance, thy resonance is akin to syrup

There was a time when my rods and cones were all jacked up, but now, not so much.

This is an epic thread. Here’s a couple more:

Many people attempted to convince me to enter an inpatient treatment program for drug and alcohol addiction; I thrice declined. I agree that I have gone through some dark times in my life, but you will be quite aware of my return. I am a very busy person, and my male parental figure believes I do not have a problem.

* * *

People claim we lack the knowledge and wisdom imparted by age, a fact which will not become clear to us until we, too, are older. I am not aware of the veracity or falsity of the previous aphorism.

* * *

Here’s the chorus to the earlier one that nobody got.

For the reason that the young men in the inner city are tough without exception, if a person attempts to insult us we will slay them in cold blood. Our highest aspiration is simply to be cool; however, do not repeat what I have told you, for my words are mere defecations.

Still not getting it, but I suspect it’s way outside my genre.

Somebody already said that this “Hey Nineteen” by _Steely Dan_, but I do not think I agree with your interpretation (in your second paragraph). As I have always understood the song, despite the age gap, she _is_ willing, or even eager, to have relations with him (he is a rock star, after all). What he is lamenting is that, despite her youth and hotness, _he_ can’t get into it because (from what she says, rather than what she looks like) she seems like a kid to him.

And that, I submit, is a lot sadder. Even in the unlikely event that the hot chicks want to do _you_, it is still no good. ☹

What will your course of action will be in the eventuality that you become emotionally desolate, when to your left and right there is no one to tarry for you?  
Lately you’ve adopted a mode of societal interaction that makes it hard for me to connect with you, in fact you have gone as far as camouflaging yourself… all in the name of your nonsensical and asinine inflated self-esteem.

Mutual oral sex used to be the same thing as an inexpensive sample of the type of the intermediate state of matter that is produced when hexoses contained in extracts of the non-climacteric fleshy structures regularly produced by _Vitis labrusca_ (or some closely related species) are broken down anaerobically.

Not only that, the girl doesn’t even know who Aretha Franklin is. That fact alone would be a deal-breaker.

…I’d still fuck her, of course. But I wouldn’t bother calling her afterwards. 😃

Is there a person who will inform you that the most opportune moment has already passed?  
Is there a person who will inform you that objects are not large (not to such an extent, anyway)?
