fire, water, air and dirt / fukkin magnets / how do they work?

We stopped at miraculous days
and got out of the car.
I fed a fish to a pelican.
It was as simple as that.
I turned to say something--
and it tried to eat my cellphone.

not being a big classics person, I only immediately recognized DJ Mencap's source poem, which made me crack the fuck up

This thread is like some kinda road to damascus moment for me

HI DERE, there is quite a lot of William Clown Williams itt

still firmly believe that ICP were solidly entertaining, if not exceedingly gifted emcees, from Ringmaster through about half of The Great Milenko, largely for the reasons everyone is bugging out over "Miracles" itt

Somebody please do emperor of ice cream

"85 bucks an hour" still makes me laugh xp

They used to be exceedingly good at swinging between ridiculously goofy and hilarious, and kind of creepy and unsettling but still hilarious, then their decent producer left and they ran out of ideas for a while. It makes sense that when Mike E. Clark came back, they'd get some decent beats back again and come up with more entertaining goofy shit like this.

What he has now to say is a long
wonder the world can bear & be.
Once in a sycamore I was glad
all at the top, and I sang.
Hard on the land wears the strong sea
and fuckin' magnets, how do they work?

great milenko only entertained me for the first fifteen minutes of the first listen, but it's possible i'm more peurile than i was in high school (i had to write a preview of their upcoming show for the weekender section of the local paper, only the band backed out of the gig the day of because the stage was too small for their many faygo bottles or something. thankfully it was relatively early in the juggalo era and there wasn't a full-blown riot).

Yeah well the problem is that you hit "Piggy Pie" and it's like "holy shit this is fucking awful, fuck you ICP" and that might mean you never make it to "The Neden Game" (which IIRC wasn't on the original Disney-approved album anyway but is like miles ahead of everything else on the album).

haha since i haven't heard it since high school i don't remember any specifics other than that i was amused for fifteen minutes, bored for rest of album and repeated listens and all other ICP interactions until you posted some mp3s of them a while back, like the one about their ghosts killing a jury, and i realized some of that shit had been squeezed into diamonds.

haha the neden game is the one track I remember as being good xp

thread needs less ICP praise, more juggalo poetry

juggaloetry, you mean

insane clown poesy

TS: Juggaloetry vs Floetry

edgar allen juggapoe

oh yeah I recognized "The Raven" too

Violent J has run away!
I was fuckin trotting along and suddenly
it started raining faygo in this bitch
and you said it was just a pelican
but pelicans try to eat your cell
phone so it was really raining
faygo in this bitch and I was in such a hurry
to meet you but the fuckin' traffic
was acting exactly like a fuckin' magnet
and suddenly I see a headline
VIOLENT J HAS RUN AWAY!
there is no rain in Hollywood
there is no faygo in California
I have been to lots of bays
and waved a lot of fish
but I never actually run away
oh Violent J we love you come back

I placed a phone in Frisco Bay,
And there it was, upon the bay.
It made the slovenly wackassness
Surround that bay.

The wackassness rose up to it,
And sprawled around, no longer wild.
The phone was there upon the ground
And tall and of a port in air.

It took dominion every where.
The phone was gray and bare.
It did not give of bird or bush,
Like nothing else in Frisco Bay.

mad props for doing o'hara

xp

The rain set early in to-night,
The sullen wind was soon awake,
It tore the elm-tops down for spite,
And did its worst to vex the lake:
I listened with heart fit to break.
When glided in a butterfly; straight
She shut the cold out and the storm,
And kneeled and made the cheerless grate
Blaze up, and all the cottage warm;

Which done, she rose, and from her form
Withdrew the dripping cloak and shawl,
And laid her soiled gloves by, untied
Her hat and let the damp hair fall,
And, last, she sat down by my side
And called me. When no voice replied,
She put my arm about her waist,
And made her smooth white shoulder bare,
And all her yellow hair displaced,
And, stooping, made my cheek lie there,

And spread, o'er all, her yellow hair,
Murmuring how she loved me--she
Too weak, for all her heart's endeavour,
To set its struggling passion free
From pride, and vainer ties dissever,
And give herself to me for ever.
But passion sometimes would prevail,
Nor could to-night's gay feast restrain
A sudden thought of one so pale
For love of her, and all in vain:
So, she was come through wind and rain.

Be sure I looked up at her eyes
Happy and proud; at last I knew
Porphyria worshipped me; surprise
Made my heart swell, and still it grew
While I debated what to do.
That moment she was mine, mine, fair,
Perfectly pure and good: I found
A thing to do, and all her hair
In one long yellow string I wound
Three times her little throat around,

And strangled her. No pain felt she;
I am quite sure she felt no pain.
As a shut bud that holds a bee,
I warily oped her lids: again
Laughed the blue eyes without a stain.
And I untightened next the tress
About her neck; her cheek once more
Blushed bright beneath my burning kiss:
I propped her head up as before,

Only, this time my shoulder bore 50
Her head, which droops upon it still:
The smiling rosy little head,
So glad it has its utmost will,
That all it scorned at once is fled,
And I, its love, am gained instead!
Porphyria's love: she guessed not how
Her darling one wish would be heard.
And thus we sit together now,
And all night long we have not stirred,
And yet God has not said a word!

Looking for the LOLs in the Browning, but mostly just getting not-LOLs.

it's subtle

To Christ our Bitch


I CAUGHT this morning morning’s miracle, king-
dom of fucken' rainbows, dapper-phone-drawn Pelican, in his ridin'
Of the rollin' Frisco underneath him steady sea, and I'm gettin'
High there, how he rung upon the ringtone of a cellphone's ring
In his gizzard! then off, when phone stops callin',
As a skater’s heel sweeps smooth on a half-pipe: with puke and cryin'
I guffed a big wind. My heart in hidin'
Stirred for a bird,—the trapeze of; the ringmastery of the thing!

Bitch beauty and Faygo and wack, oh, fuck this pelican here,
Fuck y'all! AND the breaks that fire from the DJ, a billion
Times told lovelier, more dangerous, O my Clown Posse!

The wonder of it: fuckén' magnéts work fucken' silly and
Shit, and big-beak remembrance, ah my dear,
Phone, call thyself. I cash gold millions,
Bitch

to write a poem after magnets is barbaric, and that corrodes also the knowledge which expresses why it has become impossible to write poetry today

Two Faygos procured in Harper Woods
And sorry I could not spray you with both
And be one Juggalo, long I stood
And shook up one as much as I could
To better soak with Red Pop your clothes

Then shook the other, as just as fair,
And having perhaps the better claim
Then a pelican took to the air
His fucking pouch, my cell phone's in there
Last time I'll toss fish in Frisco Bay

And two bitches that morning I furiously laid
With faces painted white upon black
Oh, I sprayed Faygo on the first for another day!
Yet knowing how way leads on to way
I doubted if she should ever come back

Fucking magnets, I say with a sigh
I don't want to talk to no scientist
Two Faygos procured in Harper Woods
I shook the one labeled Rock & Rye
And that has made all the difference.

god damn

good work all around. these should be published imo.

outstanding

nobody heard him, the pelican
but still he lay moaning
i ate from a juggalo in frisco bay
and not a fish but a cellphone

poor bird, he always loved fukkin magnets
and now he's dead
it must have been the faygo his heart gave way
they said.

oh no no no, it was faygo always
(still the pelican lay moaning)
i ate from juggaloes all my life
and not a fish but a cellphone

guitar solo almost as good as final placement

Philip Larkinsane Clown Posse

I saw the best minds of my juggalo nation blown by magnets, starving hysterical naked,
dragging themselves through the faygo cans at dawn looking for an angry fix,
jester-painted hipsters toking for the ancient heavenly connection to the starry dynamo in the machinery of night,
who poverty and tatters and hollow-eyed and high sat up smoking in the supernatural darkness of their parents' basements festering 'neath suburbs of Detroit contemplating Mushroomhead

guitar solo almost as good as final placement

lol, i thought the same thing!

Will there be a line-by-line poll for this song? I think it deserves one. I'd vote for the thing about the bird eating his cell phone.

Doctor Casino just dropped a truth bomb -- this needs to happen

I was going to but this song is too lyrically dense to organize into a poll

hang on

Are you a believer in mira-POLLs? Do you notice and recognize mira-POLLs?

In Frisco Bay did Violent J
A pelican attempt to feed
Where Alph, the Faygo river ran
through shit that shocked the eyelids of man
Down to a clownless sea

lj I commend you for that windhover version

Pelican wants cellphone!

hey forks, watch this whole thing

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cfisddCgtsg

and give us the highlight reel

Things that need to be mentioned on this thread:

--The recent Juggalo episode of Law and Order
--The Juggalo episode of Aqua Teen Hunger Force

wkiw icp in that interview, shame they are actually icp.

Come away, o Jugglo, to the water,
With the pelican hand in hand,
For the world's more full of Faygo, bitch,
Than you can understand.
