Lemmy is going to look more appealing as time goes on.

    Maybe we need a euphemism… like… uhh… “the shadow platform” or something? No wait… “the 'emmy”? “the lemony place”?

      Hmm, “the lemony place” is close, but I’d really prefer “the lemony party”.

      Or maybe just “lemon party” to simplify it a bit more.

      I’ll go google that just to make sure it’s not taken by something else.

        Whenever I see this referenced it makes me think of an old man I worked for named Olan. Olan was an asshole. He was a jerk. He was just a miserable old man with no redeeming qualities.

        We did odd jobs for him because he was in a wheelchair and couldn’t do them anymore. One time my brother was cleaning out a disgusting, moldy, vile stench filled chest freezer for him while he screeched at my brother for gagging, and chucking random shit at him for being “a whiny little faggot”

        But the thing that makes me remember him when I hear “lemon stealing whore” is this day a friend visited him while we were there, and the friend asked about some guy who used to work for him

        Friend: whatever happened to Bill?

        Olan: fired him. He stole my battery terminal cleaners*

        Friend: he did?

        Olan: yeah. Died, too. Stung by some bees.

        Friend: that’s a shame

        Olan: he’s cleaning in batteries in hell now

        *Terminal cleaners, if you don’t know, are at most a 10 dollar item

        PieFed.social, although not quite ready for the masses, and Discuss.Online especially for traffic from the USA.
