Egyptian lawyer: "I'm going to sue the Jews for stealing gold from Pharaoh. See Exodus 12:35-36."

Jewish commentator: "Fine. We'll counterclaim for back wages for slavery. See Exodus 1:11-14."

{Sigh.} Yahoo News Story.

Edited to add: I would give my left nut to have a name like "Opheera McDoom," but I already lost it in a bar bet to Mystery Guest on the old PB.

Is this the same guy who was out in front of the NYC school for gays and lesbians using an extension cord to explain how a plug and a plug aren't natural because there's no power, but a plug and a socket are nature's way (all in one of those rich, hillbilly accents)?

They had that guy in NY? We had him in Harrisburg last year. I told him he had a sick mind and laughed at him. He yelled at me. It was classic.

One of the cops told him to cut it out or he would arrest him for being indecent or something like that. He came back this year but without the cords.

(The cop didn't mean it he was just irritated with him)

But no, not the same person.

But once you acknowledge and come to terms with the fact that fat is in certain foods, it's no worse than any other fat.

Uh, no.

There are different types of fats. Unsaturated, saturated, and trans-fats. And you better learn that you don't want the saturated fats from animals, but the unsaturated fats from things like olive oil. You can google for more, because, honestly, I like all of god's fats, and won't disparage what he has made.

Hence the rule: Unless you actually see a baby coming out of someone's body, do not ask if she is pregnant.

Which reminds me of that scene in Half Baked (PLF will know it), when the guy is talking to the horse outside and says, "Hey girl. Are you hungry?"

And a hefty, black woman passing by says, "Fuck you, asshole!" and slugs him.

I think that next year you ought to bring a female-to-female plug adapter and a strap-on and tell him, look, both items solve the problem he's positing.

Then I think the cop would threaten to arrest me for being indecent.

I have to ask. I know you have a no limits policy to eating animals, except your dog, but how can lard not bother you? Haent you heard the term "lardass"? To me, I imagine something deep fried in thigh flab, or ass jiggle. And now that I have seen lipo on tv, its even worse. fuckin nasty.

I'm half-Mexican and from a long line of ranchers. It's something I grew up with, and in recent months studies have shown that it's not any worse than most of the other shortenings that people use. It's an ingredient made from an animal that is used to cook with, not some social comment.

OH FOR THE LOVE OF CHRIST. I mostly compared it to butter, which is mainly saturated fat just like lard is. And paigow was grossed out by it being "fat," not by its effect on her circulatory system.

If I had wanted to do a little lecture on the varying effects of monounsaturated fats, polyunsaturated fats, saturated fats and transfats on HDL and LDL cholesterol, perhaps with a detour into the whole issue of how the vast majority of molecules occurring naturally are "cis," but artificially-created molecules are frequently "trans," with perhaps an additional detour into a musing on whether the fact that our bodies likely aren't (in the long historical view) accustomed to trans fats is why transfats cause our body to do bad things, I would have done so.

A foot in a mouth is usually the result of a gaffe.

I don't think a joke qualifies.

Oooh of course, it was a joke. During a discussion about homophobia. A statement about it being a choice.

Intended joke or not, it certainly was a gaffe.

1) Nobody likes abortion. But some people, like PJ, seem to enjoy fur. So I dont get the analogy

My analogy is simple. I may or may not wear fur. I may or may not think abortions are okay. But, either way, I don't think its my or anybody else's fucking call whether you wear fur or get abortions. It's a choice thing, and I think you're free to make one. (It's currently 86 degrees here, so I am not currently wearing fur, if you really want to know).

2) Its not that I want to ignore you. But I defintiely do not want to go into chocolate craving mode. It is 225 here, and the cravings usually hit around 3. Plus I am PMS. So I dont need it. I dont totally have a feel for you right now, other than loving the joy of childbirth (I had to skip all those childbirth posts yesterday, sorry, not my cup of tea) and while I remembver your moniker, I dont totally recall your persona bc I smoked a lot of pot about fifteen years ago. So its a balancing test. My desire to not desire chocolate outweights my desire to read your posts. Right now. I might like you as much as NCS and RP after a week or so.

I sympathize on the chocolate craving thing. But I think Raisenettes are kind of gross so I don't eat them. I don't even think of them as chocolate. More as stuff I only see in movie theaters.

I stayed mostly out of the childbirth discussions because I had a c-section, which actually means I did it like they did it in the 40's except that I was awake...I experienced nothing gross at all and remained perfectly coiffed throughout. (I've got video and still photography if you want proof....nevermind)

15 years ago, I was snorting a lot of coke, and probably keeping you up by chattering away, while you dozed off after smoking too much pot...

Read me, ignore me....what do I care?

And we all like you, too.

(Although, you should be careful, as it comes off sort of like "some of my best friends are . . . ")
