Summary

The website content humorously details the antics of "The Scoundrel," a fictional character who "steals" various items and leaves apologetic, satirical notes inspired by famous poems and literature, while also providing a collection of parodies and a playlist.

Abstract

The webpage, titled "Con you out of Cranberries!," introduces "The Scoundrel," a mischievous character who has taken items such as mistletoe and thumbs from an icebox, and then crafts clever parodies of classic poems to accompany his thefts. The page features a mix of humor, poetry, and multimedia elements, including tweets and a Spotify playlist, to engage readers. It celebrates the creativity of internet communities, particularly their ability to produce witty parodies and maintain a sense of humor about the ephemeral nature of online content. The site also references previous escapades of "The Scoundrel," linking to past articles that document his humorous misdeeds.

Opinions

  • The author seems to appreciate the cleverness and humor behind the parodies of William Carlos Williams' poem "This is Just to Say," as well as other literary works.
  • There is a sense of admiration for the longevity and continued relevance of certain internet sites and communities, such as the-toast.net, which are known for their smart and sarcastic content.
  • The inclusion of a Spotify playlist suggests that the author believes music complements "The Scoundrel's" written escapades, enhancing the overall experience for the reader.
  • The repeated references to "The Scoundrel's" past outings imply a fondness for this recurring character and the ongoing narrative of his humorous thefts.
  • The author finds it heartwarming that so many people have contributed their own parodies, indicating a positive view of community engagement and collective creativity.
  • The mention of "BoingBoing" not believing in the historical value of internet content is likely a tongue-in-cheek critique of how some view the transient nature of online posts.

Con you out of Cranberries!

The Scoundrel rides again to steal yo’ shit

It’s a Holly Jolly Christmas

And I know you were probably planning

on standing beneath the misteltoe

hoping to canoodle with a special someone

But The Scoundrel took that Mistletoe

And now you have to read these poems I stole

And wordclouded!

Sucks to be you….

YES! Originally put up on October 13th, 2013 8:45pm and the site still exists — there is some hope for humanity left

The parody found at the site

This is Just to Say

I have disposed of the thumbs that were in the icebox

and which you were probably saving for an experiment

Forgive me they were disgusting and you are a git

Ah, yes at’s a wot I like at a see!

Famous parodies from famous internet site of smartasses being smart — the-toast

again also a functioning URL, man we are on a run this week!

Definitely a cut above most parodies, what with having a. reference to the Emperor of Ice Cream, who was one of the deposed monarchs that Illuminati Ganga kept on our island preserve to keep the barbaric commoners and their guillotines from getting access.

The Emperor Of Ice Cream — What an absolutely entitled Prick.

Not only is the page of the toast full of parodies, but it turns out the comments at the toast are full of parodies of the same poem. Gosh, it sure it heartwarming, hundreds, perhaps thousands of people all coming together to write variations of the the same dumb poem to see who can out clever the other.

I appreciated this one

I have eaten the white chickens that were in the fridge next to the red wheelbarrow glazed with rain water. I thought about eating the emperor of ice cream, but he’s not in one of my poem. He’s in a Wallace Stevens poem. They were delicious. The chickens.

because it seemed like there was as much effort put into it as there was to

This is just to say That BoingBoing doesn’t believe in any of that silly keeping things around forever on the internet like it has some sort of historical value

And now a nice finishing off of this week’s outing of the scoundrel, a wicked little kitty has eaten a turtle, but is real sorry about it just like the scoundrel who steals fruit and apologizes insincerely.

Another Fine Collection of Hits From The Hitmagist

When the Scoundrel is out there running around stealing your food you left in the fridge and writing little passive aggressive notes saying sorry not sorry, he likes to have some tunes to listen to, these are them tunes! (oops, grammactical error — sorry)
