Walrus 13: Reveal!!

That is a pretty bizarre way to define an idea.

I see “isolation” as pretty synonymous with “loneliness.” In the category description the word quarantine was used so that probably affected what I was thinking.

I, admittedly, overthink things. If I’m binging on a song then quarantine wouldn’t dictate that in any way unless we are talking about the psychological effects of the pandemic.

Dammit is this gonna ruin any future performative outrage? I was looking forward to busting out Furious Typing Cat and getting Fake Mad.

I don’t define ideas like that in general(the word association example), was just using it as a demonstration of how I would not associate film noir with isolation.

I am with you on isolation ~= loneliness.

It’s always interesting to see how differently other people can associate words and/or concepts.

This is what Ive wouldve used if I was slutting it up: (not saying it wouldve fared any better)

I considered this song for this category, but it was more just a quarantine feel good song I enjoy.

Tbf though Funcrusher is correct but I thought one of the whole points of Walrus is for the Walruser to troll and gaslight and angleshoot the competitors. Master did a ‘dance music’ theme and picked like hair metal to podium. He was like ‘I like to dance to hair metal’. It was fucking glorious.

If I didn’t relate to the lyrics on a deeply personal level it would be that way for me.

It’s almost Janis Joplin like in how talented this dude is and you’re like “how could you ever feel that way.” Gives people hope in an ironic way.

Personal pick would’ve been:

The earlier days of sampling are just hard to fk with, imo, since everything was shrouded in mystery and everything was magical.

I don’t think there really are rules. Whoever posted the joke about using GYBE 6 times made me lmao.

I think the biggest thing that hurt me for the first two rounds(other than selecting instrumental songs in a genre that isn’t meb’s cup of tea :smile: ) is that I really only listen to music that makes me feel good emotions.

So, in category 1, when @anon29622970 said he wanted something that gets him in the feels, I didn’t even consider anything that was melancholy or feeling down. Then in category 2, during quarantine specifically and when I’m alone in general, I really only listen to songs that are uplifting(to me at least).

Are y’all listening to melancholy music during quarantine???

During quarantine, you have been listening to:

  • More melancholy music than usual
  • More happy music than usual
  • The same, but I’ve always leaned more happy
  • The same, but I’ve always leaned more melancholy

I will consider this next time though, in my defense, I did warn people.

Maybe next time I will create an altar and have some fun with it.

Meb is obviously a good egg to tolerate my crazy ass.

If I had to do it all over again I’d go with:

Yep, Suicide was me.

Tonight’s the Night is so great.

Bruce Berry was a working man
He used to load that Econoline van
A sparkle was in his eye
But his life was in his hands

In advance of the next category, I felt like I should ask all of the participants if they have watched the entire parks & rec series?

  • Yes
  • No

Never even watched a whole episode.

Can’t recommend it highly enough. Anyone posting on this forum would likely love it. Although the first two seasons will likely seem slow if starting from scratch, they’re big for character development. The show took off when Adam Scott and Rob Lowe joined the cast at the end of the 2nd season.

Wow these are incredibly disappointing early results.

Same. I’ve seen maybe 10 minutes worth of clips on youtube. Amy Poehler is like Jimmy Fallon to me. I get that other people like them. But they just seem like people who are trying to be funny rather than actually being funny. IMO.

Mainly, I don’t watch much TV outside of sports and whatever episodic Food Network/HGTV/whatever stuff MrsWookie sometimes puts on. If I’m going to invest in a series, it’s probably going to be one of the major dramas I still haven’t finished, like The Wire.
