175: I Am I Am I Am (Annoying)
with Frank West Boots Raingear Kumquatxop Lou Fernandez and Lemon
content for this episode was compiled by Comixologist

Does any modern society appreciate poetry more than the creative types over at Tumblr? Yes, of course. But would any other modern society be so quick to ape the creative output of Sylvia Plath in order to eke out some undeserved attention? Maybe, but for the purposes of this episode summary let's just pretend the answer is no.

In this episode, we have a very, very specific rule; We are only reading pieces on Tumblr that have been tagged #SylviaPlath. The results will surprise you, but only a little bit. This week, the F Plus reinvents apple sauce?

MUSIC USED:
Tears For Fears - Johnny Panic and the Bible of Dreams
The Bangles - Bell Jar

There are a good few internet safaris in the game, places we can gawk at weirdos and giggle.

But only the F Plus guys are weird and crazy enough to do something like this and find the gold, and for that they will always be the best.

In a couple months when I can get together with some friends, we're going to listen to this episode for the first time and everyone is going to drink whenever I make an involuntary noise of disgust, hatred, or disbelief.

This was delightfully insane in a way the "normal" "poetry" episodes aren't. It feels a bit more in line with the F Plus Sings somehow.

Always good to hear Lou guesting, but the runaway star of this episode has to be Kumquatxop. You did some glorious pronunciation/recitation gymnastics here, sir.

When I've read the episode synopsis I instantly thought "Oh, I bet someone on Tumblr identifies as Plath-kin" and lo and behold.

It’s really kind of the fplus to dedicate an entire episode to literally every torrid poem I have ever written and handed in for an easy grade.Quote from

see you put your hands in your pockets so the hands are the arm-blades and the pockers are the arm-scabbard so logically the arm-hilt would be your wrist

I'll confess--if tumblr was around when I was in 11th grade, I would definitely be posting in that tag. Reading The Bell Jar back then had me worrying about ending up like Sylvia, and I remember posting my fears to some post secrets type blog. The best advice I got was "Don't marry Ted Hughes".

But wow, what a great way to showcase how crazy tumblr tags can be. The Pillsbury Doughboy post stands out as the weirdest one to me... the person who wrote it just seems so passionate about a pastry mascot.
