Now that is an awesome idea. They would be so pissed.

Are you kidding? He has his own song (English translation):

"The goat is nothing to worry about,
The Goatsucker is good,
happy and amusing.
He is a pleasant bandit.

The mare and the horse,
Are part of the flock,
And if you put them out,
The Goatsucker sucks them.

Remember the Goatsucker,
When you open the door,
Take care that he doesn't get in,
to even eat the cockroaches.

He sucks you like the devil,
Even if you're a rooster.
He loves liver, and also blood and bellies.

And everyone is out looking for him,
And they don't see him sucking.
And if you see him driving,
It's because he escaped from me.

And this is the end of the story,
And it is no lie.
The Goatsucker is in Miami,
sucking all the crocodiles."

Context is key, Bilmore, but you have it all wrong. Your uttering the words "good morning" are offensive because you are a white capitalist male, and therefor your demand that the morning be good is backed with implied violence intended to force others into placid and smiling accpetance of your hegemony, and further an imperialist attempt to force others to adopt your social constructs and to rape, pillage and suppress all other forms of expression and communication, thereby ensuring your cultural domination of the masses. The only significant context for your utterances is your inherently offensive white maleness. Your every utterance can be presumed offensive. Duh.

You are so full of shit, it's hardly even funny.

I love this anti-PC trend. Much as "liberal" now means "touchy feely communist," PC has come to mean "oversensitivity to an extreme." Are you upset because people who have been shit on for generations now demand to be treated with respect? I don't get it. Sure, some people are hypersensitive. But what's the alternative? Going back to the way it was, when the oh-so-funny stereotypes were accompanied by slurs and actual hatred? Fuck that.

And no one is stopping you from being non-PC. You just don't like it when someone gets pissed at you because you think whatever you said shouldn't have pissed them off. That makes sense.

Being politically correct is a form of respect. Saying, "I'm going to call that guy a Chinaman because Asian-American is just way too PC," is nuts.

So what's your problem really, hypersensitivity or political correctness? Because the two are not synonymous.

This comment is insensitive to those who are psychologically/emotionally challenged. Are you fucking crazy?

Ollie, are we the only ones willing to take the cheap joke? I had this one typed in 15 minutes ago, but decided it was just too easy. Thank you for taking one for the team here.

Spoiler Timmy and BB4

First of all, spoilers, for BB4:

(And I agree that spoilers revealed before a show is aired at all should be noted as super special spoilers, or whatever. I got screwed with the last BB4 super special spoilers.)

Anyway, I hate to admit it, but I can't miss an episode. I love the strategy, and the way that most of the pairs of exes have reconciled and have some sort of an alliance going. It seems like Jee, Robert and Justin, as long as they get Jun to go along with them when they need it, might make it until the end. I'm surprised that Jun hasn't been a target yet; she's been the biggest turncoat of all and seems to really fancy herself the master strategist. Allison seems that she is a loose cannon who will piss everyone off; she should have just stayed with her alliance and gone against Justin, since Dana obviously has no chance of winning.

Since I've never watched previous Big Brothers, how does the end work? Obviously, once it gets down to two, the jury votes, but at three people is there still a regular HoH competition and the winner just decides who leaves?

Finally, about how old is Erika? She is always acting like she is nearly as old as Jack, but she looks about 30. I think that there will be some bone-jumping there before the end of the show.

Answering in reverse order:

Erika is ~32. She bears some resemblance to my fiance, so I'm a big fan. Jack seems happily married, though.

Once it's down to 3, there's an HoH competition and winner decides who they take to the finals. Last year it involved Lisa, Danielle and Jason in the pool doing a Survivor/Hands on a Hardbody thing where Lisa easily outlasted J&D.

Dana will not get a single vote this week, even from Justin. Bank on it.

Alison is the highest of high comedy. She is so stupid-petty about this Dana thing. Ever heard of the high road? Of course not. Penna sorority TRASH.

Last night, the "Nathan-is-gay" thing cracked my ass up. I don't think Nathan is gay, Auntie Twats.

You would have liked Big Brother 2 and 3. Too bad you missed em. Big Brother 1 wasn't much, though I fondly think back about crazy Brittany, stupid Curtis, and of course, Chicken George.

Umm, we were all JOKING. Not in a "oh, these funny overreacting oppressed groups!" way--more laughing at ourselves.

As a feminist, I think that if we can't laugh at the stupidity of the people responsible for the predicament we're in occasionally, and the use and misuse of our own academic analyses, we might as well all throw ourselves off cliffs, because the reality of the situation is too fucking horrible and depressing. Humor exposes the folly of the oppressor and gives people a lift from daily life.

Lighten the fuck up.

Tying it all together somehow

not7yS

If a rolling menage on the side is your basic straight male daydream fantasy, the Dahm triplets would be winning the first billion dollar Powerball.

P (why do you think Coors Light keeps running those annoying ads with songs about the love of twins?) D

Another way to look at the results of Last Comic Standing

The fact that 35% of the people voted for the winner means that 65% of the people did not. The problem was that those 65% split their votes in an inefficient way. I'd bet that the comic who eventually won would not have gotten more than 40% in a heads-up vote between em and the comic who came second.

Invitation hell.
