important query
what the fuck are the lyrics to blinded by the light
the chorus specifically but i guess if you know any of the others
feel free to share???
actually what do the lyrics even mean
this list of questions just gets longer and longer even though i originally meant for it to be a poll
is it possible to make polls i know im a communications officer but i literally didnt think of this until three seconds ago
these questions are being asked on behalf of science btw

I'm sure we could, but that doesn't guarantee Atroma would actually read it. More's the pity.

[feathery]

hey its the thought that counts
ok no thats bullshit but maybe if we generate enough gossip the hypothetical fan mail will start pouring in to demand its due
i dont think isaac would even be mad

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, it'd give him a nice bonus and plenty of attention. We'll see what happens- because who knows when we'll be at a new star system. Gotta keep the audience engaged.

[feathery]

and keep us engaged i guess
the road trip aspect always drags on long enough that it gets duller than the rusted backside of busted toaster

[forsometimenow]

No kidding. When the only change in scenery is the same old waystations... it's like driving through endless cornfields only to see a McDonald's and a gas station once in a while.

[feathery]

dude i would be fucking thrilled to see a mcdonalds
i could really go for some french fries
i dont know when i last saw a potato let alone fries

[forsometimenow]

No kidding. Reconstituted potato flakes just don't cut it. I try to eat healthy and avoid stuff like McD's, but when your diet consists mainly of freeze-dried this and just-add-water that, sometimes you just want some greasy french fries and a cheap burger and a Coke.

damn it, now I'm craving it, too

[feathery]

for real
like i know knock off chef boyardee and shitty snack foods slandered by moms are not an ideal meal plan
but id take that shit over the less palatable gelatinous blobs they provide us with in a heartbeat
actual french fries and a too thin burger patty tucked into a kinda floppy bun would be a delicacy

[forsometimenow]

Yeah. Nothing like being stuck here to realize how much you took for granted, that's for sure. And even when we DO get fresh stuff, it doesn't last, so we're back to the same old same old.

I hope this doesn't inspire Atroma to send us Happy Meals or something.

[feathery]

what no i want a happy meal

[forsometimenow]

Well, in that case, you can have mine if so. Including the toy.

[feathery]

fuck yeah
you sure you dont want the food though
what if it comes with actual chicken nuggets

[forsometimenow]

... OK, you got me there. I'll eat it if it's actual food and not more chicken-flavored gel. Although would there be breading on it to approximate chicken nuggets, or breading-flavored gel?

[feathery]

real breading
no dodgy ass quagmire paste
like i could stomach the weird gelatin crap if it werent so...
gelatiny???
but ive held toads less slimy

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, really. Can't we at least have solids? Even if they were only shaped like a chicken leg, if it was less like eating chicken-flavored Jello it might be a bit more palatable.

[feathery]

i swear i used to like jello once upon a time
but i dont remember what its actually supposed to taste like
did it taste like anything at all
did i imagine it

[forsometimenow]

Maybe that will be our next sponsor drop. Jello that tastes like, you know, fruit flavors and such.

[feathery]

was it really supposed to taste like fruit
i always thought it came in flavors like red and green

[forsometimenow]

Alleged fruit, yes. But you're right, it never quite captured that.

[feathery]

whats your favorite jello flavor
mine was red as a kid but i dunno if that was just cause of the color or if it actually tasted different

[forsometimenow]

I liked red and blue. Especially if they were in one of those layered cups with red, white and blue.

[feathery]

real talk how did i grow up in texas and somehow miss patriotism in jello cup form

[forsometimenow]

Not sure. I was in the boonies of Wisconsin and had those- and those popsicles that were red, white and blue. Those were good, too.

[feathery]

oh i remember those
they were shaped like rocket ships right for the approximately 10 seconds before the sun turned them into puddles of corn syrup on the hot houston tarmac
shit liquidated quicker than the assets of a bankrupt business

[forsometimenow]

Yeah, those are the ones. But of course, if you ate them too fast, you might get brain freeze, so you can't win, really.
