Quieting the Imps in Your Brainz

^^^ my imps.

when i see a hot guy with a great round ass i wonder what it would be like to bury my face in it but i don't think that's an "imp" as much as a "healthy libido"

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL

^^^ quieting my imps.

Elmo see that's different because it's not completely absurd unless maybe you're imagining doing so right then and there on the street or wherever it is you may see said person

my lovely lady imps? xps

haha there's definitely a libido-imp crossover elmo but i'm talking about situations where sexual contact would be remarkably inappropriate or even damaging, i.e. a sports changing-room, a train etc...in your situation, it could be highly appropriate and logical.

Basically what ENBB just said.

in some cultures it is considered rude NOT to bury your face into a hot stranger's great round ass

On especially frustrating days at work I have impy visions of picking up my keyboard and smashing my target (boss, coworker, customer, etc) across the face with it. This vision is usually a lot like that fantasy scene in High Fidelity where they hit Tim Robbins in the face with a phone and his teeth come flying out of his mouth like candy corn.

ie there is usually rock music and jack black somewhere

and a dream chamber

Next time I get the urge to lick a stranger I'm going to blame this guy. He looks like just the sort of imp would would encourage me to do such things:

the thing with asses, and burying your face in them, is that if the person is walking it's hard to get down on your knees in time to position yourself before they walk away. this is why my imps usually just tell me to give it a good hard smack as i walk by.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

Not an imp.

Also, I don't remember that scene being that funny from when I actually watched that movie. lol.

My imps tell me to spit in the faces of drunk, sexist boys or to tell prostletyzing Christians that God doesn't exist.

lol xp

i dont have these really anymore which is good? or maybe i let them out enough when drunk

I don't know. The article seems to suggest that it's totally normal.

But a vast majority of people rarely, if ever, act on such urges, and their susceptibility to rude fantasies in fact reflects the workings of a normally sensitive, social brain

uhoh

i don't often have these impulses either, aside from the occassional road rage moment and the aforementioned "horny wolf" perv moments

x-post Maybe you just need to nurture your imps to prevent them from plotting against you and eventually causing you to think Henry is communicating messages to you like that dog upthread did to Berkowitz.

I'm sorry you guys don't have normally sensitive and social brains. :-(

"what would happen if I pantsed this dude, right now"

(xpost) if we did would we be hanging around on ILX?

yeah i dont know most of henrys secret messages seem to be things like "lets eat shoes!" and those are fairly crushable on the impulse control scale.

i have the urge to reveal many examples, even though it wouldn't be too hard for someone to figure out who I am IRL and find this post and get upset. I'm gonna resist the urge ... or wait until I can come up with something non-damaging.

i have succumbed to the "hey! lets go pee in the back yard!" suggestion once or twice so far tho xpost

Awwwwww Henry.

wait is henry the dog or did you name your imp

I think the imps are different from my rage under certain conditions, or elmo's road rage, or emotional triggers. It's like...not an emotional thing, it's strictly the rational brain going "what if what if what if" just to see what happens.

sarahel are you barack obama

"i frequently want to box joe biden about the ears"

^^^haha i wondered this too

I think there's a big difference between having fleeting thoughts about doing abnormal things (which I suspect is the case for most people) and having uncontrollable urges to do the same. Plenty of times I've thought "what if I just ran into that restaurant, grabbed some food off someone's plate, and walked out?" -- but I generally just think "haha, that would be crazy" or else I go as far as to imagine the IRL consequences and then think "oh, bad idea, right." In either case, I've put it out of my head within seconds. For some people, though, I imagine the thoughts aren't so easily suppressed, and that's when it gets into mental illness.

wait is henry the dog or did you name your imp

You don't understand, Henry is the name of his dog!

Imagine what kind of imps the president must get on a minute-by-minute basis.

"What if I just strode to the podium and started screaming at the top of my lungs?"

Laruel OTM. I think what Hooes was describing and Suzy too are more just emotional responses to situations.

Also JayMC - exactly. That's what makes these normal and not signs of mental illness.

Here's an example of another one of my imps . . .

Pushing someone in front of a train. Obviously I'm not crazy and I wouldn't actually do this but I will admit that when standing close the the tracks in addition to imagining throwing myself in front of the train I've wondered what would happen if I, you know, gave someone else a little shove. The thought is fleeting and it doesn't happen every single time I'm in that situation. Furthermore it's merely a reflection of my normally sensitive, social brain SO STOP JUDGING ME OK!?

Hooes!!

"what if i just pooped, right here, on the sidewalk, what would happen"

i have a friend who has just pooped on the sidewalk. Nothing happened.

He was with a girl he'd just met, and said wait here, walked round the corner and shat on the pavement. He wiped his ass with a sock. It was 7am on a Sunday in a residential street in Glasgow.

"what if i just started referring to reporters as 'poopypants 1' and 'poopypants 2' etc for the rest of this presser"

"My fellow Americans, I'm pleased to tell you today that I've signed legislation that will outlaw Russia forever. We begin bombing in five minutes."

what if I replied to all my work email only with chris_hansen.jpg or lolcat pics?

I also think that these imps usually occur in situations where there is a strict standard of behavior that is expected like a dinner party, public transportation, etc.

church . . .

work ...
