You know, after coming home from a hard day's school/work, it's so nice to be able to log on to FARK and find such worthwile intellectual discourse. I mean, we've gone from pop culture to pop music to classical mythology to geometry to computer games in the space of 50-odd (and I do mean ODD) posts. Thank Bob for FARK!

"Our positive is our ball of twine."


Most zen-like comment of the day.

Damn, I thought I was the only one left alive who memorized that entire song.

Off to seek new claim to fame.

Ah...Sam & Max. Probably one of my favorite games EVER.

/me thinks he's gonna play it again (thanks SCUMMVM!)

props to you louiedog...beat me to the gun...

FArkMeToTears: Thanks. Now I have Mountain Dew/masticated pretzel all over my monitor. Good one. If there was ever anyone with less Slack than Gore, I dunno who it is!

Y'know, I visted the twine ball in Minnesota, back when I lived in the Twin Cities. Scary little town, Darwin, with a population of 254 plus the twine ball. My ex and I looked at the ball, bought a couple shotglasses and a bumper sticker at the liquor store out on the main highway, and got accosted by some drunk local woman who lived across the street. She tried to tell us that the guy who made the twine ball was a hermaphrodite.

Seriously.

You rule Trapezoid!
I'm glad I'm not the only Al fan around. Did you know the other attractions mentioned in the song are real too? I wanna go to the Mecca of Albino Squirrets. Better pack some diet chocolate soda...

That's an AMAZING headline. Mucho kudos to the submitter.

Wow, something on FARK close to my home! I drive past the ole' ball of twine many times a year as I have inlaws that live that way.

I know Ross & Cher Olson. She's a nice lady and a great artist. I think she and her husband moved to Cawker because he became a church minister there. Before that, Ross was my AFLAC representative.

By the way, if you're ever in Cawker to see the ball, look but don't touch. I'm told by people in the know that all sorts of kinky stuff has happened to that ball, including bodily excrement and copulation.
