Context: fox1013 is drunk and watching porn about pirates. And feels a need to tell me all about it, because the two of us are buddies. Yes.

fox1013: They're having sex next to a skull. And hitting each other.
fox1013: like you do.

pearl_o: At least they're not having sex with the skull!

fox1013: ...thanks for that

pearl_o: *beams*
pearl_o: *has read that fic*

fox1013: ...
fox1013: *hides under bed*

Yes, yes, I know. I win at life.

Aaaaaaand then we got into a conversation about how I don't really read very much Hard Core Logo fic. Look, I know you all laugh at me about the unsanitary thing, but it's TRUE, OKAY?

P.S., why are I ALWAYS the person who ends up having to explain to people what trepanation is? Was I the ONLY person who ever read the Golden Compass? Come on!

...I'm just letting that one stand on its own.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

WHAT?

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I love you.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

AWWW. ME TOO!

*schnuggle*

[ubixtiz.livejournal.com]

1. I too have read that fic.

2. I know what trepanning/trepanation is. And I knew it at an impressionable age, because I did in fact read The Golden Compass.

[claire.livejournal.com]

I have never read the Golden Compass. I did, however, use "trepanation" in hangman in 7th grade and got in trouble from the teacher for making up words ;)

*can retire now*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heee. It's a really good fic, too! I don't know why Fox is all squeamish!

Obviously you need a better class of friends. In my fandom, EVERYONE knows what it is!

[damned-colonial.livejournal.com]

Hang on, which fic, specifically?

*is going to regret asking, probably*

[etben.livejournal.com]

I know what trepanning is! *preens*

Although, of course, when I think about skullfucking (which is either the best word ever or the worst, I'm not sure), I always kind of go to an 'eyesocket' place, myself. I mean, they're right there! easy and convenient! no cutting of bone required!

...OK, yes. I am WRONG INSIDE. I know this (and now you do, too!). I acknowledge and embrace my wrongness.

[minim_calibre]

Man, I loved that fic.

P.S., why are I ALWAYS the person who ends up having to explain to people what trepanation is? Was I the ONLY person who ever read the Golden Compass? Come on!

Hee! I know! And I REALLY wanted to buy a trepanation set at the antique store, long before the Golden Compass came out, only my mother squicked my by waxing nostalgic about using similar things when she worked ER and OR back in the day. (I presume, however, that they were using it to remove excess blood and fluid, and not to let the evil spirits out. Or something.)

[minim_calibre]

Squicked *me* I should say.

Says the girl who just went to her happy skullfucking place.

...oh my god, I wrote that five years ago. Time, it STAMPEDES.

[basingstoke.livejournal.com]

I know! It was plotfully justified and everything!

[brooklinegirl.livejournal.com]

HEE. my god. how awesome is the internet, that, like, MANY PEOPLE were like, "OH THE SKULLFUCKING FIC YEAH!" *loves*

and oh honey, with the sad aversion to unsanitary sex. *pets*

[fox1013.livejournal.com]

I also love how, in the comments, everyone's acting like I'M the crazy one for having not read the skullfucking fic or knowing about carving holes in someone's head to skullfuck them.

I AM ASHAMED, DARLING. SHOW ME THE WAY.

[cimadness.livejournal.com]

Tonight, you men will sleep with your rifles. You will give your rifle a girl's name because this is the only pussy you people are going to get. Your days of finger-banging ol' Mary Jane Rottencrotch through her perty pink panties are over! You're married to this piece, this weapon of iron and wood. And you will be faithful.

[cimadness.livejournal.com]

I know what Trepanation is, but from reading Transmetropolitan, not the Golden Compass.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

hee! that's what i was going to post.

also, there's an entry on it at boing boing today, so i am sort of weirded out by the sudden influx of trepanation on my flist.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

wow. i totally used the wrong icon, though. and considering how many m&c icons i -do- have, that was a true feat.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*beams* At least you ADMIT your shortcomings!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*high fives*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Heeeee. Oh, ignorant teachers.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

*rereads*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

CKR and Sandra Oh is NEVER an inappropriate icon choice!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Awwww. But I like my friends, even WITH their ignorance1

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Hee. Well, trepanation isn't NECESSARILY linked to skull fucking, you know. It's for completely different reasons. They're only linked in my head because of, like, one Indie Tits cartoon a bunch of months back.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

okay, good point :D

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

It is just as well you did not buy it, because your awesomeness is painful enough already -- that would just be ridiculous levels of coolness!

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

See, I think I could get over the unsanitary sex part if, you know, they were likable. But spitting PLUS complete assholes? Yeah, I'm lost.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Aw, well, you still get points.

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Woo, BREASTS!

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

sandra seems particularly delighted. don's all, "eh, whatever, i'm gonna go kiss callum again."

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

"eh, whatever, i'm gonna go kiss callum again."

Man, that's what we all wish we could say.

[marginalia.livejournal.com]

dude, seriously

[pocketmouse]

I know about trepanation because of my anthro classes on South America.



...and I think from the X-Files. I think one ep had something like Mulder going 'Whee, let's drill a hole in my head!'

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

LICK IT!

p.s., my first experience with trepanation was Golden Compass, but my favorite is Stephen Maturin sticking a spoon into a guy's brain. Oh, Age of Sail. *happysigh*

[pearl-o.livejournal.com]

Ahahahah. You know, all your age of sail girls commenting in this thread have sadly made my interest in reading Patrick O'Brian, like, triple, just from the mention of trepanation. Sad!

[kerrypolka.livejournal.com]

DUDE. DO IT. You missed out on the Great Patrick O'Brianstraganza of '04 in my journal, but there was copy/pasting of awesome passages and character analyzin' and it's all just a big pile of KICKING ASS AND TAKING NAMES (and sometimes being little cheek-pinchy woobies). When I read, I fold page corners down so I can go back to passages I love, but I had to stop with POB because I was folding down every page.

*shooes you to the library*

[damned-colonial.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's... disturbing.
