In honor of Father’s Day I wanted to talk about one of my favorite horror film’s, Creepshow (1982), made by two horror legends: Stephen King and George Romero. The film is about a little boy who gets in big trouble with his father when Dad discovers he has a horror comic book. This reminds me so much of myself as a kid as I too was always getting in trouble for consuming horror.
In the film the stereotypical 1950s father throws the comic in the garbage and the little boy is devastated until the giggling rotting corpse, who narrates the comic, shows up at his bedroom window and the little boy (played by Stephen King’s son) is starstruck.
At the end of the film the little boy takes revenge on his father by killing him with a voodoo doll.
The bulk of the film consists of the actual stories inside the comic book, the first one being Father’s Day about an extremely wealthy and extremely old man whose descendants can’t wait for him to die so they can inherit all his money.
Suffering from dementia, his only pleasure is to enjoy his father’s day cake, but no matter how hard she tries, his Italian American daughter can’t seem to make it fast enough to please him, partly because she’s being driven hysterical by him constantly screaming: “I WANT MY CAKE YOU DIRTY BITCH!”, as he bangs his cane on the table.
Finally she can’t take it anymore and she bashes him to death with an ashtray:
But on Father’s Day seven years later, he comes back:
As a little kid I was OBSESSED with this movie and even had the comic book, and would bike around the block screaming “I WANT MY CAKE” until some teenaged boy who lived across the street advised me to stop.
It takes a village to raise a child.

I have not seen my dad since I was 6.
He abused me as a baby.
I might have brain damage because of him.
This website says:
SAT score 1470 = an IQ o 142

But I scored 113 on the WAIS 4

Having a dad in your life is not so great. I call mine a couple times a week and he just berates me for not being more successful 😣

LIE!
black dads aren’t chinese dads. they’re irish dads. they call you up and berate you for being employed and not in prison.
my parents never cared. a gentleman’s C was good enough for them.

Maybe G-man’s parents are like the Huxtables
Afrosapiens 🇫🇷🇪🇺 said:
That’s a good thing to do, my parents ain’t fountains of compliments either. Not in front of me at least, but I know they tell the whole world how proud of me and my sisters they actually are. It’s ok, that’s an incentive to not messing around.
ian smith said:
there are such. there was a documentary about such a family. the dad was a manhattan psychiatrist and he was very disappointed in his son’s academic performance. the exact opposite of my parents.
g-man doesn’t exist, and he’s not believable. he’s the son in a 99+ percentile black family and yet he explains black behavior with genes.
what a loser uncle tom.
sad!

LOL…I’m not sure what my point was, but it’s true. But it’s also true that my parents weren’t as tough as Asian parents. I got Bs in high school, and after the first one they significantly reduced their pressure on me. They never threatened to disown me or anything like that.
I have a hard time believing your parents didn’t care about your grades. Or that you didn’t either. Sometimes smart slackers like to pretend they don’t care, but they do, deep down inside…
GondwanaMan said:
I’m not sure why I’m so unbelievable. I think I mentioned before I was middle class, not upper-middle class. I knew blacks like myself from similar backgrounds, with both parents who were college-educated. But I also understood this wasn’t the norm throughout the Black race in America. I’ve seen enough of Dark Side to know otherwise…

As for g-man, I think looking down to lower class blacks makes him feel unique and superior, he is more a classist than a racist.

shows how sheltered you are. i remember asking someone why anyone cared about their grades. he said, “parents.” i was surprised by that as my parents couldn’t’ve cared less.

complacency with mediocrity is a virtue afro. a roman catholic virtue. very unlike fornication. one should never strive for status or esteem. ambition is a sin. the world is ruled by strivers. and it is the worse for it.
Blacks are so not like this in France.
so you’re saying that you’re very unusual as black french people go?
ian smith said:
what does your confessor think of your 100 acts of fornication afro? what does he think of your range rover and polo pony shirts?
Scripture clearly teaches that they who seek honor and esteem from men cannot believe in Jesus (Matthew 6:24; Romans 8:7; James 4:4). Those whose ambition is to be popular with the world cannot be true, faithful servants of Jesus Christ. If our ambition is to seek the things of the world (1 John 2:16; Romans 13:14), in truth, we are self-seeking and denying Christ and His sacrifice (Matthew 10: 33; Matthew 16:24).

Nope, sloth is a sin, industriousness is a virtue. That’s why monks work from sunup to sundown.
so you’re saying that you’re very unusual as black french people go?
Not what I implied but yes I am an unusual man, black is optional.
what does your confessor think of your 100 acts of fornication afro? what does he think of your range rover and polo pony shirts?
No issue, now I’m on the right track, I’m charitable and acknowledging my sins.
ian smith said:

Nope, sloth is a sin, industriousness is a virtue. YEP! irrelevant to the above and false. industriousness and sloth can be sins or virtues. it all depends on what one is industrious or slothful at. the world would be a much better place if lawyers were lazy. capiche?That’s why monks work from sunup to sundown.NOPE! you know nothing about monks afro. your rc-ism is a joke. it’s just another fashion accessory for you.
so you’re saying that you’re very unusual as black french people go?
Not what I implied but yes I am an unusual man, black is optional.you don’t understand as usual. do french people have their sense of humor surgically removed at birth?
what does your confessor think of your 100 acts of fornication afro? what does he think of your range rover and polo pony shirts?
No issue, now I’m on the right track, I’m charitable and acknowledging my sins.you’re living in sin and your marriage is mixed. yet another indication of how ir-religious you are. how will you raise the mulattos? rc or jewish?
but it’s alright. you will learn in time that mugabe is right about everything.
ian smith said:
learning to be satisfied with enough, complacency = a rare virtue
not wanting to be better than other people = a rare virtue
in time, when your bubble butt is deflated, your bouncing pecs drooping your wife cheating on you with me, you will understand.
Afrosapiens 🇫🇷🇪🇺 said:
Haha, you don’t know shit. Don’t confuse Catholicism with Islam or your American Evangelist cults. Catholicism puts a premium on free will and every believer can be graced with God’s Mercy if their repentance is sincere. It seems you don’t know the Catechism.
And of course, marrying someone of another religion and having mixed race kids isn’t even a transgression of any doctrine.
but it’s alright. you will learn in time that mugabe is right about everything.
Lol, yeah, you’re right in your basement.

I loved this movie as a kid! Creepshow II is another classic, with my favorite episode being “The Raft” (where the black lake blob eats the partying teenagers).

These type of movies, Jewish hollywood pimp with a softer tone, every day and every year. Stephen King Horror is everyday America’s horror. Basically,smart people eliminating dumb people.

I remember this. The one ill always remember was the one with the ocd guy in the lab with the insects everywhere. That was very creepy.
I remember another one with leslie neilson as a offed husband who cames back from the dead to kill the wife and her lover.

Horror these days is more juvenile than back then. Hard as it is to believe.

Good job Pumpkin! bringing the horror theme back to your blog. But this movie looks very intense, not for kids or the mentally fragile…maybe I will check it out anyhow.

sometimes the mean says little.
peepee gives me the mean of the non-random sample of harvard students scores on the sub-WAIS…
then i calculate the probability that a mean score less than or equal to this is made given various assumptions about harvard students and the SAT WAIS correlation.
this will show peepee is a black dyke.
sad!
pumpkinperson said:

Your assumptions were incorrect & your calculations needlessly labour intensive, because like most children of the IQ 122 Harvard alumni, YOU ARE DUMB!
ian smith knows peepee's secret. sad! said:
IQ 122 is a mean peepee. what’s the variance? what’re the percentiles? you need my labor saving calculations to answer these questions. but you’re so dumb you can’t do them.
and you have given NO reference for your 122 claim. just like you’ve given no adult IQ score.
still waiting.
and what was your third non-proof of harvard students being dumb peepee?
ian smith knows peepee's secret. sad! said:
Study 2 investigated the correlation between revised and recentered SAT scores and scores on the Raven’s Advanced Progressive Matrices among 104 undergraduates. The resulting correlation was.483 (.72 corrected for restricted range).
this is greater than the correlation between the WAIS and the RPM peepee.
are all mixed race dykes compulsive liars? or just you?
pumpkinperson said:
No Mug of Pee, the correlation between the WAIS-R and the RPM was between 0.74 and 0.84 in a sample of 288 people, and that was probably an observed correlation in a general population sample, not an estimated general population correlation based on correcting for range restriction in an elite sample.
Mug of Pee lacks the subtlety to understand why correcting for range restriction in an elite college sample might give a misleading estimate of the correlation in the general population where some people never even took high school algebra.
Sad
pumpkinperson said:
Mug of Pee is so stupid, he probably thinks that correcting the IQ and chess correlation for IQ range restriction among chess grandmasters tells us the correlation in the general population where most people haven’t studied chess at all.
