It's disappointing that the future has yet to give up on some of the barbaric, uncivilized customs of the past. The high school prom, for instance.

And with prom season coming up on this summer's social calendar, I'm spoiled for choice on which of my many outfits I should wear. I do have my signature style of staying at home and watching a marathon of Ice Road Truckers, but I wouldn't want to show anyone up. Adolescence is a tricky time.

In case some of the older members of this network feel left out, feel free to tell us about your experiences at prom. The most awkward story wins a t-shirt.

What Did You Just Call Me

[onmyneck]

Harsh words for a harsh world.

[glowsferatu]

What Does It Even Mean

[onmyneck]

A strong minded individual.

[glowsferatu]

Hardly Descriptive Of A Harsh Word For A Harsh World

[onmyneck]

Every word is harsh in this desolate urban landscape.

[glowsferatu]

That Sounds Stupid
And Not Even Especially Accurate

[onmyneck]

No. But it is edgy.

[glowsferatu]

Oh Please
Truly Edgy Rhetoric Could Quite Literally Slice The Intended Meaning To Countless Small Ribbons
They Would Infect Any Nearby Apparatus With Their Multiple Layers Of Metaphor And Hidden Meaning
But The Edge Of The Blade Employed In Your Wordplay Is Found Very Pitifully Wanting

[onmyneck]

Edgy is the new wordplay. It takes less effort.

[glowsferatu]

It Could Stand To Be Sharpened
Youll Achieve Nothing With So Dull An Instrument

[onmyneck]

You'll be eating those words, likely using a very edgy knife.

[glowsferatu]

So Incomparably Edgy That It Is In Fact No More Than A Shapeless Slab Of Steel Placed Within A Hilt

[onmyneck]

Hmm. Maybe more like a dagger.

[glowsferatu]

I Had In Mind Something More Rectangular
All Edges
None Of Them Sharpened

[onmyneck]

Of course. A mace.

[glowsferatu]

Personally I Was Visualizing Something Smaller And More Useless

[onmyneck]

Is it an animal, a vegetable, or a mineral?

[glowsferatu]

What
Well
Mineral I Suppose Its Still Like A Knife
While Not Actually Qualifying As A Knife Due To Uselessness

[onmyneck]

Is it a member of the British royalty?

[glowsferatu]

I Dont Know What That Means

[onmyneck]

Is that a 'no'?

[glowsferatu]

We Can Classify It As A Maybe Until More Information On The Topic Has Been Secured

[onmyneck]

You're quite the shrewd player.
