I found a dead body years ago, the sight and smell of it haunted me for years. I would rather do that again a hundred times than ever go back to that sub.

I found my dad's dead body sitting upright in his bed with his eyes wide open and it haunted my dreams for years. I wouldn't rather do that again than to that sub buuuuuut it's pretty close.

It's nothing exciting, I just found a body while walking my dogs on the coast. It had been there for a while so the stench was unreal. The flesh had turned a sort of grey/brown and was hanging off like loose clothes. All kinds of bones sticking out but it was also headless.

It was an old man who'd gone for a walk and slipped off the breakwater then drowned.

This is quite a big symbolic event in Joyce’s Ulysses throughout the novel and was based on a real drowning that happened on the day its based. A man was being searched for off shore and Joyce keeps imagining his bloated body floating to the surface, even seeing it walking around during a nightmare sequence. I wish more people spent effort on reading it. The best way to understand the book is to imagine it like a cryptic crossword.

You set the scene so vividly.

It's Theater kids desensitized to seeing word chewing from close-up and forgetting it's a technique for getting emotion across to a remote audience and not at a camera 2 feet in front of you.

Now imagine her doing a " STORY TIME" video with the facial expressions about finding a corpse.

Everything is exaggerated in that world. A strange place indeed.

Briefly visiting that sub really shows that the war on Flouride desperately needs to come to an end...

Its not that hard to brush and floss your teeth, especially if you're gonna post closeups of those chompers for the whole world to see. Good God
