"like if you're playing Clue, and it is really hard, and no one can figure out the mystery, and then your dad realizes he never put the three cards in the case envelope and instead just passed them all out. then anytime your family wants to play clue again, someone goes "don't let dad be in charge of the cards!" and everyone kinda laughs and winks at him, and your dad has a red face, and he's smiling too. and then, while you're playing, the family cat jumps on the table, and mom goes "looks like someone wants to be a detective!" and your little brother goes "he can be on my team!" and there is just so much laughing."


"every night at 2:20 am, nathan comes downstairs for a midnight snack. it is usually leftovers; occasionally it is ice cream or nacho chips. after he finishes his snack, cleans up and heads back upstairs, he always sees a dark ghost standing by his front door. it used to startle him, but anymore he is used to it. he's even started saying 'hello ghost' when he's reached the third or forth step. he's come to regard the ghost as his only friend. today, nathan lost his favourite black coat. tonight, his best friend will be gone, too."





"gentle jeffery burst into flames next to the telescope. people came running in towards jeffery! "please, please help" cried jeffery. two middle-aged ladies and a retired professor hit him with golf clubs for burning the telescope."


""yum," said georgie to margaret on their first date, "this sure is good soup." "i know," replied margaret, softly, "it's made of several different kinds of poisons and there are also small children in the recipe." the soup was so good that georgie could not stop eating. "what good soup." he said."

"4:25! 4:25! said the alarm clock. jasper punched it. "ouch! that must hurt!" jasper looked in his closet and pulled out a....GIANT HAND!!!!

"ok i will" guess what was on mayberry street? the LAUNDROMAT! jasper and the GIANT HAND went inside, but poor jasper had to hold the door open for people. "GET OUT!" said the guy at the counter. "hey man, i'm just doing my laundry and you're yelling all the time at me especially when i just walked in the door" the GIANT HAND took jasper gently by the shoulder. "it's time." "ok" the counter guy took one look and BAM! BAM! BAM! actually there were only two BAM!s but it's ok that there are three but remember there were only two. "i love you GIANT HAND" "i love you jasper""

Much has been made of the complexities and mystery behind Sigur Rós' lyrics. There is a rumor circulating that these guys are from Iceland, but I say that's a crock.

The truth is, these guys are just messing with our heads. If you listen closely to Glósóli, for instance, you'll learn that it's an entire song about a Chinese food craving. Here are some sample lyrics--see for yourself.

Glósóli - Sigur Rós


0:30-0:40 A ten-second yawn.

0:43 I want some food / after this day of dread...

0:56 And Carrot stew / ain't cutting it.

1:13 I have a goat small / (to goat) no, I won't hurt you.

1:35 There's only one thing... / where's that menu?

1:45 Oh, it's here!

1:57 Crab Rangoon!

2:00-3:40 (The narrator waits and waits, mumbling to himself about politics)

3:41 Oh, here is food!

3:55 Yeah, my food!

4:08 Oh yeah, my food!

4:16 Thanks man...

4:20 I LOVE THIS FOOD!

4:34 Oh YEAH! This FOOD! / Crab rangoon! Wontons too! / Noodle dish! Taste the squish! / I will certainly have leftovers!

Cloverfield spoiler alert:

It turns out someone was just playing "Brain Stew" on really good speakers.
