Through great self-policing, I have not had to ban a sock since the great Penske Putsch of aught three.

My warnings should be taken as archly as they were offered, as I am often accused of lacking a sense of humor by particularly lame posters.*

*A hint: if your joke sucks, don't blame the audience. You know who you are.

Thanks again to gwinky for the heads up on disabling those space-wasting annoyances. Now will someone convince Not Worth The Space Even While On Ignore to go away? Gratzi.

I was just going to create a sig line that said "One more stupid Barbie post and I'm going to hire GI Joe to blow your motherfucking heads off, G3 and PJ," but to accommodate you I will post it instead.

I say we make a pre-emptive strike that will prevent any lame socks, or anyone else, from posting ever again.

Lets ban everyone.

And I have to agree with Flower: Happy Valentine's Day bounces: "If arrows don't penetrate, Cupid packs a pistol!"

Happy Valentine's Day is a hot track. I am surprised I don't hear it more often at clubs, but then our local djs suck.

I would love to hear Roses as the next single, but I cannot imagine any radio edit that could make it possible.

really it's an accommodation to you. you know I think you are funny. if you place something that would amuse me in a place where I would miss it, it primarily hurts you, in light of your need to be appreciated for the genius of your works.

so, you're welcome.

and I agree.

I was just about to post about how much I love my ignore list and soon it's just going to be me and me on the board for me (so I might finally break myself of this board because most of the time I want to ignore me too), but you took the words right out of my mouth/hand. fuckin A.

But I am still blue.

Stop whining and go out with some friends and have some fun. Your work will be here on Monday.

I used to laugh at the parents who claimed to have raised their boys in total isolation from any depiction of guns saying that the boys "magically" started using the pointed finger and "you're dead" during play. Silly them, I thought. The boys must have seen someone with a gun between their no-TV households and their ultra-crunchy Montessoris. They had to have seen it somewhere, right?

Until I read a magazine article about so-called primitive cultures in the South Pacific experiencing the same phenomenon going back centuries. Entire cultures that hadn't seen guns, and yet they do the finger-pointy-you're-dead thing during play. Turns out, it's the ancient fantastic wish for the power of the Evil Eye --- the desire to cause effects over long distances, combined with the desire to do harm.

ETA: As for trucks versus dolls, I heard a child development psychologist say that boys seek toys involving the interaction between materials and surfaces (e.g., percussion instruments; sliding things across the carpet) while girls seek toys involving the interaction between proxies for people (i.e., dolls). There's probably a solid evolutionary basis for that development.

It surprised me that those completely unexposed to guns might have some sort of concept of violence thorugh the pointing of a finger, and I can understand it.

And I'm also not surprised that there is _some_ evolutionary basis for certain types of play and behavior. However, these types of influences are greatly overshadowed by the effects of the exposure to society and society's ideas about what's appropriate for little boys and little girls.

So, while I think it's neat to consider how, if raised without societal influence, a child would like to play, I don't think it's relevant.

It also grates, I think, because I find the idea of parents using biology as a justification for indoctrinating their children with their social and religious ideas about what is appropriate to be offensive. It's just a hop, skip and a jump from there to "Homosexuality is wrong, because God made man and woman to lie together and make children," and those are the kind of (I think) troglodytic attitudes that children carry for their entire lives.

Women.

They want a flame war, and when you start one, it's not the right one or its not good enough for them. No, don't flame over Barbie, I want a flame over something else.

Look, Bitch (and that's merely descriptive, remember, given your Avatar), what do I have to do to please you?

No problem. I'll gladly switch to Tickle Me Elmo instead.

Atticus, was it turbanhead.com?

At first I thought you were making fun of my Thottam socks, but now I see what you're saying. The ad on that site is exactly the one I posted, but I have no independent recollection, sitting here today, whether that is the site where I first found and linked to it.
