Butter fantasy – m4w – 27


Here’s how this is going to work. I have a ridiculous amount of butter, and a spare area carpet. I’m going to melt said butter, douse myself and the carpet with it, and roll myself up in the carpet like some sort of human burrito. Here’s where you come in. You will walk in on me in my burrito. You will be dressed up all sexy like. You then run across the room, jump on top of the burrito, and launch me across the room in butter-soaked ecstasy. You will not help me clean up. You will then leave. You can send me your dry cleaning expenses for any clothes that have been embuttered. This is completely legit. Write back with a pic.

We here at the Cartoon Physics Institute would like to remind you that when shooting across the room after being ejected from your embuttered carpet burrito, be sure that you are wearing a crash helmet to protect your head. Cartoon concussions are serious business; those stars and birds and flattened heads can mask a serious issue. Blowing on your finger to reinflate yourself is only a temporary fix and can easily lead to over-inflation.

        Uhm, Sparky claims to be 27 (we’ll presume that’s Earth-years of age).

        According to Unc’ Wiki, the “Parkay” commercial ran in 1973, or a dozen years before Spark’s claimed DoB.

        Since I date from when a 49-star flag flew over the US, I remember the Parkay–and Fleishman’s crown, and the “You can’t fool Mother Nature” commercials–all too well.

        Spark’ on the other hand, probably believes that any quantity of butter (or oleomargarine) over one ounce will cause near-instant death from instantaneous atherosclerosis, so, engaging in butyrumphilla is not that much a great risk.

          The crown was for Imperial, and the Parkay ads ran until at least a couple of years within Sparky’s birth, as I recall. It’s not impossible that his family might have had the phrase as a joke or – even better – he ran across the ads while perusing their Betamax collection.

          I was born in the mid-70s, and I distinctly remember seeing Parkay commercials. Since I lived in Venezuela without a tv until I was about 5, that means at least some US tv market had to be showing those commercials in the 80s.

          Rats, fickle rememory Murphies me again.
          Imperial is indeed the oleo alleged fit for royalty.

          And, our dear Lola is quite correct, Spark could have seen a Parkay commercial.

          My experience with those of his generation, is that they might, incorrectly, presume the oleo was named for the “free running” activity, parkour. Most lack the “cultural context” that made many (too many) of my generation wonder why an “upscale flooring” (parquet) was named after oleo.

    I disagree with Sparktoid’s assurance that this is “completely legit.” For one thing, carpet isn’t known to be particularly slippery. What will probably happen is the fool with end up with a ruptured spleen or appendix or, worse, a hangnail. I’d want a signed waiver of liability before I have to answer police questions about why I jumped on a guy in a butter-soaked carpet.

      I can imagine the discussion with the insurance adjuster.

      “I was wrapped up in a carpet remnant slathered in butter and a stranger jumped on me while wearing a sexy outfit. I don’t understand what went wrong, I had a diagram and everything!”

      “… Okay.” :writes “Injury occurred during lesiure activity” on form:

        Yeah, right, an insurance adjuster that approves claims . . . should that not begin “Once Upon a Time…”?

          Well, Cap’n, it’s probably someone at the hospital helping Sparky with his medical insurance forms. However, they have created new codes for many more detailed incidences. I’ll see if I can find the one for injured while playing naughty games with butter.

    Dear Sparky,

    I bought a bit of butter
    The butter I bought was a bit bitter
    And it made my batter bitter
    But a bit of better butter
    Makes for better batter
    Is your butter bitter or better?

    I’m pretty sure that if I jumped on a Sparky-in-a-carpet, even a heavily buttered Sparky-in-a-carpet, all that would happen would be that Sparky would say “oof.” In order to gain adequate propulsion, what Sparky needs is a luxury woman, and an extremely luxurious one at that.

    Adores: 11
    • 2012 January 10

      It would depend on how tightly wrapped in his embuttered carpet he was and how much butter he used to overcome the friction as to how luxurious a woman he would need.

          Other than this does appear to be the calculus of the intersection of Hikiomori; fanfic; and Rule 34

          Was scary enough to contemplate a generation of those who “everything I know about sex I learnt from bad free pr0n clips.” Even worse to consider a generation that learned everything they know from the fanfic of that previous group (do not know if the tvtropes people are quite tough enough–yet–to address trope-of-trope).

  17. 2012 January 10

    In all seriousness – I can only tolerate so much butter at once. The last time I was baking, the recipe called for probably too much butter (It had been scaled down from an industrial batch) and the dough just reeked of it. My hands were absolutely coated with the stuff as I was pulling it out of the mixer.

    I thought I was going to be sick – the butter smell was just so overpowering. Don’t get me wrong, I like butter as an ingredient or topping as much as the next guy. The bread was delicious. But the idea of being surrounded by this much butter aroma just makes me queasy.
