Ok, now I get this board. Anal rape is funny, but black (kinda) guys marrying really, really, really white chicks is offensive. It all makes sense now.

I've had fat girls, ugly girls and gay boys have crushes on me, and its never bothered me.
Having a guy who is pretending to be a girl stalk me on an anon. internat board is weirder, somehow, I must admit.

Crooked Timber wonders about something that's been eating at me for, oh, about fifteen years: Why is it that every Army surplus shop in the world appears to have rack after rack of German army surplus shirts? Is this the result of a monumental purchasing error by the German Army or something?

Hitler was nothing if not frugal (this making his hatred of the choosen people all the more bizarre). In 1943, despite advice from at least some of the procurement people in the Wehrmarct, he advanced purchased unis on a 10% increase basis per decade for the next 75 years, saving 10% in cost. The results can be seen at Army Navy stores to this day, and through our childrens "rebellious periods."

The difference between what is funny and what is offensive on the FB becoming ever so clearer now.

I heard Captain Kangaroo referred to on the news as a legend. Have we really sunk that low as a society?

If society refers to John Ritter as a comedic genius for being on one sit-com that lasted 6 (I have no idea if this number is correct) years and was in a whole bunch of bad movies, then why shouldn't the Captain (who was on CBS in the morning for 30(?) years and then on PBS for another 6(?)) be considered a legend?

If only I had known, I would have sued my relatives years ago.

Dom DeLuise's Daughter-In-Law Suing Him

LOS ANGELES -- Dom DeLuise's daughter-in-law is suing him for $2 million, claiming the comic actor conspired to cut her off financially.

She alleges that her husband assured her that all assets would be "both of theirs."

After a falling out with Dom DeLuise, her lawsuit claims, her father-in-law conspired with his financial advisers, Page & Ma Business Management, to limit her rights and access to funds. Ownership of a West Hollywood home is part of the dispute.

Since you're on a roll, can you explain to me why anyone would want to have a carnival in the winter in sub-zero temperatures, and why the Vulcans are there?

It's a Minnesota thing.

You wouldn't understand.

Yeah. If it were in Wisconsin, it'd just be another excuse to get out and booze it up.

Good point. Yes, you wouldn't want to be caught wearing blue in the wrong neighborhood.

Because they live in Minnesota. Is any further explanation needed?

Look out for those vulcans though...

Because otherwise the Ice Palace and all the ice sculptures would melt, silly.

This year the Ice Palace is not as elaborate as in the past, but you can go inside and, if you are really into winter, get married there. If you want to see what's happening at the Ice Palace 24/7, check out the webcam http://www.startribune.com/palace

I'm dressing casual for the opera tonight so I can check out the ice sculptures without freezing.

actually, this is closer to a generic Thurgreed attack (minus Politics ref), but good show anyway!

I used to date a chick who was a writer on Thurgreed and she said he never played Pitfall, although he drooled a lot.


Oh yeah. She also said he has a really small unit. Not unlike Alex Trebek, whose gentlemens' relish is maple-flavored. A Canadian thing from what I gather.

Present. I've been trying to decide what this guy's motive is, here's the story, from the Mr. Manners of the sex world... husband of 13 years has begun to express sexual fantasies. While he has always been interested in my sexual history (I'm 39 and he's 40), lately he's been wanting me to tell him details about sex with previous partners, including their penis size, and whether I would be interested in sleeping with them again.

He also says he wants me to have affairs and would like to watch or at least have me describe the experience to him during our lovemaking. He says he doesn't have any specific men in mind; he seems to just enjoy thinking about me sleeping with other guys. I am concerned for several reasons. First, he often needs me to talk about sex with other men in order for him to climax. Second, I worry that he really is serious about wanting me to see other men, and if so, what that means for my marriage. Third, I wonder if he's trying to assuage a guilty conscious (I've often suspected him of cheating on me). And lastly, if for some reason I took him up on his offer (something I admit I do think about) what would his reaction be when confronted with the reality?


My personal feeling is #3. Once she says yes, then the door is open for him to bring in another woman.

Oh baby, don't you see? This means we don't have to hide in dark places in bad neighborhoods any more? It's our dream come true.

And fuck the nazis. This is what Churchill's 104 yo parrot still says. Was taken out of the pet shop for swearing at kids.

If this is your daughter, I can see the resemblence. Can I have her hand in marriage?

If not, carry on.

You Cad!!!! That's my wife. Take her, please.

First, you buy Blacklisted by Neko Case here for $10.

Then, you listen to it over and over until you're compelled to see Neko Case, Kelly Hogan, and Carolyn Mark play at Bimbo's 365 Club for $20.

Now, you can do step one nationwide. But step two only works in San Francisco, Los Angeles and San Diego.

The only downside is that Cassandra Wilson is also playing Saturday, February 27th at the Warfield, so Bay Area residents will have to make a choice.
