Once, while I was working at Taco Bell, a lady asked me what was the difference between nacho cheese and real cheese.

Once when i was wearing my "department of redundancy department" t-shirt someone asked me "what's redundancy?"

Most confusing thing I ever saw and/or heard...
the ending to 2001 (the movie version).
Seriously, it was something like 20 minutes of nothing but psychedelic colors and shots of the actor's eye. And it didn't seem to be at all connected with the rest of the movie, the way they did it. Wtf?

That's a good point. I'll tell you what, if I ever see a post like this:

"Okay, so last night I was having sex with the wife and she was lying there all sexy like, and I was crouched over her just about to unload into her face - and all of a sudden, her mom comes in - well I tell you, I was so surprised that I squeezed a link off onto her chest. Only afterwards, she was all like "Having a steaming turd lying on my breasts was kinda hot.". What do you guys think I should do?"

...and the next post is:

"Pics?"

Then I will post the most confusing thing I have ever seen.

Well... I suppose that's okay. It'd be about a 4/10 compared to what I'm usually subjected to, but it qualifies.

The most confusing thing I've ever seen is this:

I may have seen more confusing things, I definitely have seen more disturbing and horrible things, but to this day, I can look at this picture and the only word I can think of is "...What?!"

Have a little consideration, given the thread doesn't say it's nsfw?

I changed your picture to a link.

Heh, apologies; I figured anyone who *read* the post would realize....

Fixed now.

@Stealthy:

.... Disturbing, yes, but moreso if the mouth/eyes didn't look photoshopped in...

What post? Stealth's post was stealth's post. You quoted it, then added two links. You can chill now.

Hmm, come to think of it, "Lost highway" confused the heck outta me.

Just about anything Lynch does is incomprehensible.

Not true. Everything else I've seen of Lynch (which is mostly all, I haven't seen "Eraserhead"), I had no trouble figuring out. In fact, I was delighted at how people were looking for explanations of "Mulholland drive" on internet, since I didn't need one.

The most confusing thing I saw was "Simple Plan" rising on the charts.
Another confusing thing I saw was "Cool World." I understand it, but I mean, what the hell?!"

*mischevious giggle* You should know by now I don't dig that whole "chill" thing :wink:

What I meant was that he was saying 'show me something definitely not-family related, in fact graphically sexual, and I'll show you my....'

I coulda added maybe something like "Like these?" prefacing it. Oh well.

My most puzzling ever... hmm... I'll say "The anime 'Jungle wa itsumo hare nochi guu.'"

I'll explain: Ralph Bakshi say "Roger Rabbit" and thought "kiddie movie, now I'm gonna make a grownup version, being that I'm great animator and all".
Which is where he made two mestakes: 1. "Roger Rabbit" is not a kiddie movie and doesn't need improvement. 2. Ralph Bakshi isn't so great animator that everything he tried would work out. He needs someone who can restrain him (perhaps a big studio) because he has a poor choice of what ideas would work and what wouldn't.
That's really all there is to understand.
