I'd go with Bloody Stupid Johnson, but possibly this isn't architecture enough.

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth 9h ago

When did that ever stop B. S. Johnson?? A pipe organ is not, technically, architecture.

1

u/tenebrigakdo 6h ago

It is still more architecture-adjacent compared to lemon grenades. Similarly, a bathroom is not technically architecture.

2

u/The_Gypsy_Smyth 6h ago

You may be right about the lemon grenades. However, I will argue heavily about the bathroom statement. There are Greek and roman baths, The hammam, the Victorian Turkish bath, and likely so many other examples across culture and time. And this does not even begin to touch on ones which I have seen, and had to draw floor plans for. Admittedly, lots of modern architecture is bland and very copy paste in appearance, but it is still technically architecture (even if it is a crime against aesthetics).

u/tenebrigakdo 3h ago

I think it was more a water installation project in that case than an architectural one. However you make a good point about the baths.

I'm holding a memo from the President, and it turns out that soylent green is... let's see here... doubling in price. Now listen up: I don't care how good people tastes. This stuff's costing me more than lobster, so we're going back to fishsticks.

It is hilarious that all I had to do was Crtl+F for cave and I found you. I knew you would be here.

What? I thought it was supposed to burn Life's house down.

u/FalenAlter 17h ago

What if you are life?

u/Galactinaut_001 17h ago

I'm not. If I was Life, my childhood dog wouldn't have grown old.

u/ComfortableSalt8631 14h ago

Ouch brother, that one really hurt 🤕

u/-o-DildoGaggins-o- 12h ago

Yeah that turned dark real quick. I’m sorry, Galactinaut. ☹️ I miss my childhood dog, too. 🫶🏻

u/Bitter_Profit_4099 9h ago

Nonsense, you're Life! If you wasn't, everything would just stay the same.

(Note: I don't want to undermine your loss, but Life is about change and time. We're Life, and so we are. Stay safe.)

Roy Kunt is great and so is Danny, even if they're about as different from each other as people get.

u/FalenAlter 6h ago

Brett Goldstein is also really good in Shrinking (my current binge) but Shrinking is not nearly as good as Ted Lasso

Life is the name of the whale I live in. Thankfully I don't think he's flammable. Life would explode pretty good though

If these have live fuses … It’s the best smelling explosive in existence. Non lethal, 100% the biggest mess. But refreshing!

That's easy to say - until you get some of the juice and pulp shrapnel in your eyes!!

u/Far-Computer8825 16h ago

I’d imagine that specific feeling is how Mr clean’s kids felt when he got home and they hadn’t picked up said toys they were told to.
“ Dad!!! I love you .. please stop!! It burns so much!”

Edit: MY EYES*** holy piss that looks a whole lot worse now that I’m actually reading it aloud

“When life gives you lemons, don't make lemonade - make life take the lemons back! Get mad! I don't want your damn lemons, what am I supposed to do with these? Demand to see life's manager. Make life rue the day it thought it could give Cave Johnson lemons. Do you know who I am? I'm the man who's gonna burn your house down! With the lemons. I'm going to to get my engineers to invent a combustible lemon that burns your house down!”

Fun note. In russian, grenades nickname is literally lemons. With a small word twist but the point still stands

Lemons are a hybrid fruit. Life didn't give us lemons, we demanded and made our own lemons.

These lemon-nades seem like it’d be a COD skin that some 12 year kid would blow you to hell and back with from the other side of the map over and over again while they emote some quirky modern pop dance.

life never gave us lemon, we invented it all by ourselves

u/Griffin_da_Great 7h ago

When life gives you lemons say "fuck the lemons" and bail

u/FaliureToCat 5h ago

a lemon isn't naturally occurring and is a hybrid by cross breeding a bitter orange and a citron, which means life never gave us lemons; we invented them all by ourselves
