Need to finish Fall of The House of Usher but its great (maybe right behind Midnight Mass in terms of his series). Solid way of telling the Poe stories especially Mask of The Red Death

I am not super familiar with Poe so I only caught the really obvious stuff. I need to read into all the references tomorrow

Not a huge Poe fan or macabre stuff in general but I love Mike Flanagan and he did each one of those stories right.

I still haven't watched that show yet but I do love Poe. I revisited a bunch of his work recently and he is a much better writer than I even realized when I was younger. The stories are obviously masterful but the actual content/prose/specific word choices are dense as fucking hell. no wonder his head was so fucking huge homie was smart as goddamn. also love randomly saying shit like 'Perched upon a bust of Pallas'

did anyone else "prank" their friends by grabbing that final/bottom loop in the shoelaces and pulling it as hard as they could? I'm completely blanking on the name of it rn

I'm completely blanking on the name of it rn I definitely had a few kids try it on me in my youth but never quite understood what it was supposed to do, but my puffy skate shoes might have prevented whatever was supposed to happen.

I think the end result was to make the person have to untie their shoes and retighten each row of laces. More of an inconvenience than anything else.

the big hit pranks of my elementary years were paper tacos yanking the absolute dogshit out of people's tapir on their haircut doing the thing with the rubber band where you pull one side back between your fingers like a bow and arrow and stinging people on the arm fighting

we didn't really do pranks here unless you count being cruel to one another as a prank.

we once took a kid's gameboy and threw it in the sewer then blamed it on his older brother. that's just a taste of how life was like growing up in brooklyn.

another time we convinced this kid we didn't like to take the subway into the city (manhattan) all by himself to look for a MAN with a HAT that had a TAN. needless to say his parents were pissed.

In middle school the homies and I would take hostess ding dongs or ho-hos and squish them up into the shape of a turd and then put them in our pants so theyβd fall out of our pant leg when we started walking. Weβd do that shit at school and stores and shit. Idk dumb but it was funny.

the most harmless prank we did was ding dong ditch but even that somehow turned into someone chasing us with a bat.

in 6th grade, kids in my simulated a prison economy by making fake cigarettes and trading them to each other for lunch snacks and shit. Our class got lectured by the school's DARE officer.
