    The Imaginary Image Blog

    There’s a group of poet-comedians on Twitter. We frequently point to them on Slacktory’s Follow Fridays. This crowd are sometimes funny, sometimes bizarre, sometimes just beautiful — it feels like they’re more after a pure emotional response, and the authenticity of that response matters more than whether it’s happy-flavored or sad-flavored.

    The group also has a blog. A group blog. A glog. A gumblr. It’s called the Imaginary Image Blog, and it’s art.

    Some sample posts:

  6. AAEG Seussian talk

    Ask an Evil Genie: I Wish to Rhyme Like Dr. Seuss

    The Evil Genie grants three wishes a week. Leave a wish in the comments!

    Syzygygygy wishes: Oh, proud and mighty evil genie, please grant me my wish! Let me drop mad rhymes like Dr. Seuss.

    The Evil Genie replies: Congratulations! You awake tomorrow to find that you rhyme in the classic Seussian style: furiously, compulsively, non-dictionarily, and with only a passing regard for logic.

    At first you are excited to meet your friends for brunch, planning rhymes about mancakes and handshakes and branflakes and fan breaks, but when you leave your house and begin to speak to others you find there is a glitch in your system: You are unable to express thoughts that don’t rhyme, and, with the speed of your gift far surpassing the speed of your regular mental and emotional responses, you rarely say anything close to what you mean when another person is speaking to you.

    Meeting your friends, you immediately find that your new skill makes for fairly unpredictable conversations… »

    But not Rage Face. That one we withdrew.

    Fixed Nursery Rhymes

    I fixed classic nursery rhymes to be more realistic. But that made them all hella tragic.

    Humpty Dumpty sat on a wall. Humpty Dumpty had a great fall. All the king’s horses and all the king’s men were like, “WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS THING.”

  9. Redditor's Wife - Come the fuck to sleep

    Come the Fuck to Sleep: The Internet Widow’s Rhyme

    At last night’s live 4chan variety show, editor Nick Douglas’s girlfriend Rachel Fershleiser read a poem she’d written, an internet version of Go the Fuck to Sleep. Some of these links are super-NSFW, with sound.

    You’ve seen every advice dog on Tumblr
    And Portal has beeped its last beep.
    The redditors logged off, the 4channers silenced,
    Now please for fuck’s sake come to sleep.

    You’ve checked Xtube and YouPorn and Bangbus.
    There’s nothing left to which to fap.
    The Suicide Girls start to all look the same.
    Let’s at least take a short fucking nap?

    I don’t care if that slut’s a cum dumpster… »
