Huh?

I think a few links to some of the stories that inspired this page might be in order, because, frankly, I don't really get the joke. EVDebs 12:35, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

You've read Conservative parables haven't you? It was all the rage not long ago. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{I kill spider} 12:39, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

How... fascinating. (Well, that's one word for it.) And I thought a parable was essentially an analogy in story form, not a whiny sloppy mess of persecution complex, glurge, and "I told you so"? EVDebs 12:46, 3 June 2008 (EDT)

Glurge, eh? :) I can't remember where I heard that word, but I know I like it. <font=""; face="Comic Sans MS">Jellyfish!^{I kill spider} 07:18, 4 June 2008 (EDT)

It was either coined or popularized by Snopes.com and refers to either a hypothetical mixture of sugar and chicken soup or emotionally manipulative claptrap such as constantly winds up in your INBOX due to That Friend Of Yours Who Forwards Everything. Look up the Glurge Gallery. Now that I think of it, it might be worth an entry here... EVDebs 11:58, 4 June 2008 (EDT)
