Summary

The webpage content humorously details the escapades of a "scoundrel" who is fond of stealing fruit and reflects on the nature of dependence through various poems and musings.

Abstract

The webpage presents a whimsical narrative centered around a character known as "The Scoundrel," who is infamous for stealing fruit and offering apologies. The story is interwoven with references to poems that play on the theme of dependence, such as "So much depends upon" and variations that follow. The Scoundrel's journey is illustrated with images and embedded tweets, suggesting a light-hearted and satirical look at the concept of reliance, whether it be on universities, material possessions, or the simple pleasure of fruit. The narrative also includes a playlist, adding a musical dimension to the Scoundrel's adventures, and concludes with a list of previous stories featuring the fruit-stealing antihero.

Opinions

  • The author humorously implies that one cannot rely on institutions like universities to support questionable behavior, as suggested by the poem about a scoundrel at Bryant University.
  • There is a tongue-in-cheek critique of materialism and societal status, as seen in the poem about the Wall Street Journal spattered with coffee stains inside a white Lexus.
  • The Scoundrel's character seems to represent a carefree, rebellious spirit that finds joy in simple pleasures, such as eating oranges and listening to music, despite the chaos they may cause.
  • The repeated use of the phrase "So much depends upon" in various contexts suggests a satirical take on the idea that certain objects or experiences hold disproportionate importance in our lives.
  • The inclusion of a Spotify playlist titled "The Scoundrel Got Some Tunes" indicates a connection between the character's mischievous actions and a soundtrack that might accompany such escapades, implying that music is a dependable source of enjoyment.

Another Poem at a University — https://web.bryant.edu/~tchandle/somuchdepends.htm, Bryant University specifically

huh, it’s almost like you can’t depend on a university to help a scoundrel out.

But what about..

oh never mind

Time to eat some oranges.

Well you may not be able to depend on your uni anymore, if you ever could. But you know what you can depend on — snooty, long-necked girls to put their noses up!

So much depends upon

the way a thing is worn

beside the white chickens.

Signed — Your Friend and Mine but not so much your friend and much more mine,

The Scoundrel

But enough of that, onward and upward as the naively ambitious sperm declared

unfortunately it doesn’t seem that much is available here

The One single poem in the thread still viewable, like a tear in the rain

So much depends upon

The Wall Street Journal

Spattered with coffee stains

Inside the white Lexus

You know, it is very hard for that nasty scoundrel not to make a depends joke whenever the word is used, but especially when something has been spattered with coffee stains.

OK, well time to take the High Ball

Finally some poems that actually still exist — https://www.teenink.com/poetry/free_verse/article/331435/So-Much-Depends-Upon/

Here are the poems

So much depends upon rich reese peanut butter cups a taste of heaven soothing my overloaded mind. So much depends upon upon a light whistling wind moving fields of green cleansing us anytime anywhere So much depends upon a light precious flute notes pouring out beautifully music to my ears So much depends upon bright beautiful green eyes giving us a view guiding us beautifully carefully

As for me, I’m in ORBIT!
