There's more than one way to skin a cat. And I happen to know that's factually true.

Which was the Wonderfalls episode Tim said should hook us? Was it Muffin Buffalo, perhaps?

It's in the archived first Minearverse thread:

Perfect example of when "nice" is so much better than "funny".

... Some pipe did need to be laid here and that's what the first couple do. If you find that by episode five you haven't settled into it, you might not. If you're patient enough to get to seven, I'd put bets I'll own your ass. And to be totally honest, there's a very good chance your ass will be mine by the end of episode three.

The 3rd episode was "Wound Up Penguin", the 5th was supposed to be "Crime Dog", and the 7th - "Lovesick Ass".

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

So I was 1/3 right....

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

You know, I didn't think much of it at the time, but all the talk about laying pipe and owning people's asses is really disturbing.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the talk about laying pipe

You have a gutter mind. And I don't mean it in a plumbing sense.

If I only had a brain...

There's a clean meaning of laying pipe?

I can't work out a dirty meaning that makes any sense in the quoted paragraph, but I suppose I could be overly prudish and literal.

I think it wouldn't have caused an eyebrow raise if the pipe or the asses were separate posts.

Together, they are porn.

Note to File: asspipe = porn.

Well it's certainly more likely than "asswipe = porn", which is how I first read that.

Although, I guess, one person's porn...

What is even happening?

Pipe always takes me to a No-more-full-copper-repipe place, because I own an older house, so ass and pipe in the same sentence, just remind me of all the workers we've had here. I've only *not* wanted to kill two.
