Seriously.
Everything looks good from here... Yes. Yes, this is a fertile land, and we will thrive. We will rule over all this land, and we will call it... 'This Land.' I think we should call it 'your grave!' Ah, curse your sudden but inevitable betrayal! Ha ha HA! Mine is an evil laugh! Now die! Oh, no, God! Oh, dear God in heaven!

Off to Wikipedia.
edit: Huh. Plus further explanation of the Aristocrats joke. Gross but intriguing, in that infinite diversity sort of way. Plus I always wonder who initially thought such things were a good idea--and how they persuaded the second person that it was a good idea, as well.

This exploration...sometimes I get a cramp in my brain. Just. Don't. Get. It.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
This is when I just repeat "a lid for every pot, a lid for every pot" to myself.

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

It got a name! It spread through the Internets!
Though I wonder if it's something people get their jollies talking about, but like nobody actually does.

It sounds like the sort of thing you'd try just to get a lower Purity Test score.

I only wish I thought this was true. Sadly...there are some very different lids for some vewy, vewy different pots out there. Not that there is anything wrong with that...

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Back to Wikipedia . . .

There are so many things you can do to lower your score that don't smell that bad, though.

I have to say--I think it's incredibly gross, and I'd like to ask people that enjoy it (especially on the receiving end) what's in it for them.
But I don't think it's sad or anything. Just NAST.
