Why is this type of phrase so commonly used and why does it have such a weird connotation when said the right (or wrong) way:

"[superlative] _________ ever"

It gives me the shivers. It's like you can;t just say "man that was the best red velvet cupcake ever!" anymore without people being all, "damn dude since when u talk like a fgt?"

i think you sounding like a fag stems from your use of the phrase "red velvet cupcake."

i would like to know where i can find the best red velvet cupcake ever.

― grady (grady), Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:13 (seventeen years ago) link

no judgement against the cupcakes themselves! but their name sounds kinda faggy. namedropping a type of fabric really does it, much like "lemon chiffon pie." GAY DESSERT.

i don't think i've ever had them. but i am wary of that much red food coloring.

― elmo albatross, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:20 (seventeen years ago) link

i thought it was the YELLOW food coloring that did that?

― elmo albatross, Tuesday, 28 November 2006 21:24 (seventeen years ago) link

It's not food coloring..they just put millions of these in the cupcakes

cheese is something that is small and expensive, and it doesn't rattle around, so it's really easy to steal. when you're on a budget, an expensive cheese can really fancy up the rest of your cheapo crapolo.

― bohren un der club of gear (bohren un der club of gear), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 23:26 (seventeen years ago) link

i actually kinda liked fargo rock city in a beach novel kinda way. but i was reading A LOT of books when i worked at that record/book store. i think klosterman's (only) okay when he's talking about himself, completely batshit when he talks about almost anything else.

― violent j (sandboxhulkington), Tuesday, 2 January 2007 23:31 (seventeen years ago) link

and his batshitness, unlike, say, chuck's or many other writers i enjoy and respect, isn't even entertaining or well-written, which is the cardinal sin, i think.

I haven't seen a movie musical made in the last whatever amount of years that I actually liked very much to be honest; in fact, most of them I've hated a lot so I don't hold high hopes for any modern movie musical. I might very well be pleasantly surprised if the singing is as good as being touted or if the main performances are good.

^^^ ILFing it up whoops

xpost Bad Santa was pretty funny but I don't remember much of it. I saw Lucky Number Slevin last night which was surprisingly good.

i think nabisco is arguing (maybe) that klosterman wrote a mediocre piece and people wouldn't be up in arms if it was just some anonymous obit writer. which i don't think is otm, because the piece is shitty enough to catch flak no matter who the author is.
