I have an idea! Let's all post marginally offensive threads...
to show how nonconformist and anti-establishment we are, and then when someone is offended and complains, we can scowl at them for being too PC.

Does that sound like fun!

53. Can we use some other method of notification?
Edited on Sun Dec-04-05 02:37 PM by merh
I have trouble hearing those high pitch whistles these days. Maybe beams of light alaBatman notifications?



And instead of the bat, can we use this symbol?

8. while you are at it...
put lye in your hair and twist the dreads too tight - so you get that really annoying shriek on when you stridently call out those who don't agree.

but his spirit lives on, no?

Franco, OTOH, is probably still alive. Even if he never did pass Jim Brown in rushing yards.

58. How come these xx-ladypersons always burn their bras in private?
:-(

I missed all the '60s bra burnings...being a toddler, I probably would have seen it as more of a dietary opportunity, anyway.

My curse is that, anticipating fighting a rearguard action (so to speak) in the great Sexual Revolution, I finally entered (so to speak) the fray right after Rock Hudson died and genitalia worldwide went into reclusive, monastic hiding for ten years. :-(

22. Can you help me decide ...
Should I go for the matching set of crotchless panties and bra with the nipple cutout in black trimmed with red lace ...

or should I just go commando under my leather skirt while I post ...

I wanna have some of this fun too!

No, not the one with the rat ( :scared: ); I'm just trying to keep it marginally offensive.

It's kinda difficult for me, because my natural tendencies and ability lay more at the "absolutely offensive" end of the continuum.
