Skibidi Toilet ( that's so skibidi)
After a fair amount of Saturday cleaning I took the kids out to the library ( that bastion of civilization and a Horcrux of Bernie Black
Horcrux - A Horcrux is a powerful object in which a Dark wizard or witch has hidden a fragment of his or her soul for the purpose of attaining immortality.
although I’ve tempered down the meaning to be something or someplace that a really reminds you of a person’s spirit. He always had a bag of tokens on the top of his bureau - along with speedstick- Poppop drank too much, and was one of those Philadelphia oldschool icons - like Ace McCann and Porky the Ironworker - Philadelphia men who never drove.
Gone, gone like the wind - and that’s ok, and maybe not just ok - but how it’s meant to be
We got to the library GenGen and Char were in a good mood - they like spending time with their dad - I think almost every kid deep down enjoys spending some time with their dad. She got the diary of Anne Frank and he got the BFG. The girls at the checkout line were wearing masks - h 95. I cracked a joke about covid-19 coming back, the girl gave me the look
- I have an auto-immune disorder
I felt a little guilty - maybe not really. Femininity was not their strong point, but they were very competent librarians and they even helped me get a new card. First they told me to download the app and I told them I had no phone and I felt like their eyes said
- you cisgender dick, - but they got the paperwork and helped me out.
I had ten dollars left in my wallet - which was all the money I have left in the world at the age of 45 ( but July rent is already paid so don’t feel bad for me) so, in honor of the financial feat, went into “ Ghost car” mode. The “ Ghost Car” is a mode where an evil, fast food loving ghost spirit takes over the steering wheel and inevitably drives into a fast food parking lot. They kids shriek with delight whenever I scream
- oh shit ghost car! and lose control of the wheel
They often chant
- ghost car ghost car
As we drive by places, but the ghostcar is an independent spirit and doesn’t get summoned that easily.
Had to order from the touchscreen at the counter. I’ve been doing my best to avoid them, but this one was all that was offered. I miss the repartee
- Hey how you doing today
- well I’m doing good welcome to wendy’s what can I get you
It feels me human, cause it is more human, but tech isn’t big on human to human. The workers were overweight and depressed looking. We got our two frosties and a lone cheesefry. The kids split the cheese fries and split the frosty, foisting the other one on me, extremely content with the meager treat.
The table over had a woman and four year old. She was on the phone and he was on the ipad. IPAD kid
Skibidi Toilet , which I put a video above played incessantly throughout the meal. This was my first introduction, further confirmation of the DeWec ( death of western civilization)
Gengen saw me staring at Skibidi toilet. I looked back with angry conservative dad face. They looked down at their French fries.
- What in the hell is that - I whispered - but prolly wasn’t necessary cause the mom next to us had those white things in her ear that all downtowners don’t leave the house without - the earpods….
They looked guilty.
- What in the hell is that show guys… please for the Love of God tell me you don’t know what that is…..
They looked at each other and smiled. Charlie broke into the theme song
- what the heck is going on on on….mmm skibidi skibidi pop popo
That’s it, I thundered, I’m breaking the router I thundered, but here I am, hooked on my damn version.
I went home and talked to Vincent about it. He was familiar. A prime manifestation of what they call “ brainrot”.
and that’s ok - even meant to be
Gengen told me the kids have a line
- That’s so skibidi
But no I’m not up on my high-horse about this one. It’s been skibidi for a long time in the making.
The labor force at Wendy’s
That’s so skibidi
The dad on his cell phone while his kids stare at their screen
That’s so skibidi
The presidential debate
skibidi
The United States of America
skibidi skibidi pop pop
Now their taking any chance to sing the theme song when they’re in ear-shot - I holler and they laugh - skibidi toilet is a source of joy and laughter for us now… so it was and so it shall be… some men are going to do their best to instill order in their families, and some will hand child rearing over to the internet - and truth is I myself have been on both sides of that fence.
But there is no doubt a man should be on.
Moral confusion and inability to give attention where attention is due
that’s so skibidi
what the heck is going on on on
