"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Holy crap. I was skeptical about the original version being much more mournful than Billie Holiday's "Gloomy Sunday," but I just downloaded a classical quartet's instrumental of "Szomoru Vasarnap" and even without words the Hungarian Suicide Song is unbelievably haunting.

The reputed nihilistic effect it inspires may be somewhat muted if one has "Tubular Boobular Joy" pop up as the following selection on one's playlist, though.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

Burrell, second wind?

Nope, but a cup of tea helps.

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.

OOooh, Matt. Where did you get the version you're listening to?

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

I should have tea. But without caffeine.

And PB&J. I should have that too.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

I was thinking popcorn, for myself.

Actually, I was thinking Tamarind Balls, but I got greedy last week.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

I need to make another run?

Hi, guys! I've missed you! How've you been? I care, you see, but not enough to actually read the last nine natters that I've missed.

Who wants to help me buy a car? I am tired of this whole business. Also, insurance. I think insurance is stupid and that I shouldn't have to buy any, if the payments for it will be almost three times what the car payment is.
