Normal Gay Clubs

[TheeIsMe]

Are there any normal gay clubs where a gay can go and have fun without being harrassed or have numerous "younger guys" around?

[Gator96]

Try either the ArtBar or Smackdowns...

[Unregisteredfudger]

tell the boys swampy sent ya .

[swampfox]

Ignorant poster, you so clearly want what you can't have.

This is not embarrassing for you?

Hence the unregistered user name, I'm sure.

[Captain Worley]

It does seem to be a cry for help, doesn't it?

[swampfox]

On the Saffir-Simpson scale it's at least a category 5 cry for help.

But what does he want with me, and why so desperately? I'm sure we've never met. And just because he can't read our minds, does he really think that we can't read his?

Very sad. One of the tragedies of our failing school system.

[Unregisteredddddddddd]

cap'm will you please push swampys STOOL in for him. cuebald seems to be having a hard time .

[cuebald]

Definitely a morbid fixation of some type, if not a full-blown delusional fantasy.

Or, it could be the first example of hybridization between a tin-cave dwelling neanderthal and a tumblebug.

Does anyone have any other postulations that should be investigated?

[swampfox]

I just want to stay out of the guy's way. Talk about a one-track mind. And this one only seems to have one rail.

[cuebald]

Pick up a copy of "Free Times". There are a couple of Gay organizations locally that could answer your question, and they run ads frequently. Good luck.

[Unregisteredbbbbbbbb]

hey guys take your circle jerk somewhere else will ya. for the love of peter .

[swampfox]

Your request has passion, bbbbbbbb, but I fear it is the wrong kind.

Try taking an interest in sports, or TV, or anything to get your mind off privates lest you go in more ways insane.

Seriously!

[better days]

This is kinda funny. The "ha ha" type you know.

[cuebald]

hey guys take your circle jerk somewhere else will ya. for the love of peter .

The gentleman asked a legitimate question in the presence of other ladies and gentlemen. It would be unseemly not to help in any way possible.

If you had asked where you could go to scratch and spit and drink Bud Lite without a lot of namby-pamby liberals around talking about health care and the First Amendment and equal treatment for all citizens I probably would have felt moved to make a suggestion as to where you could go and how to get there by the quickest and most efficient route.

This board is not yet required reading, as far as I know. When you visit a thread with the title "Normal Gay Clubs", I don't know what you expect to find , but it probably isn't a print symposium on skinning wild hogs. If you came here looking to upset yourself, I can only ask, "Why?". If you came seeking perspective, you have a funny way of expressing it. If you came because you are bi-curious or still closeted, I will give you the same advice I gave to TheeIsMe. And good luck.

Try Swampy's, Cuebald, or Capt.'s. There you will find old, gay men galore.

[cuebald]

And when you come over, remember to ask us how "HeeHee" got his name.

You'll get a big charge out of the story.

[swampfox]

They still got HeeHee's barrel down at the Smackdown Club.

[TahoeT]

hey guys take your circle jerk somewhere else will ya. for the love of peter .

I think a circle-jerk would be for the love of peter...

[cuebald]

I think he wants us to move because he's jealous he can't join in the fun.

It's hard to grow up sheltered and afraid of the world.

[Captain Worley]

HAHA You beat me to it (pun intended).

[JDidGirl]

Are there any normal gay clubs where a gay can go and have fun without being harrassed or have numerous "younger guys" around?

You can try Capital Club... PT's 1109... or H2O. Capital Club is a very, very private bar, but the membership is pretty reasonable and they will let you go in and just see how you like it.

What's a NORMAL gay club ?

[JDidGirl]

What's a NORMAL gay club ?

Well, I'm going to give you credit here and assume that you are asking a serious question and not trying to be a smartazz. A "normal" gay club would be a club just like any other bar would pass walking down the street but would be frequented by gays/lesbians. Not a drag bar... not a leather bar... not a campy drag bar... just a typical place where EVERYONE can feel comfortable.

[Unregistered889]

I think a circle-jerk would be for the love of peter...

wow your fast.

[swampfox]

I thought you'd notice that, 889.

Admiration of the faster ones has always been a part of the process according to the stories I've heard.

[TahoeT]

Re: my deleted post... Sometimes even *I* cross the lines of good taste... :redface:

[swampfox]

Too far? Que?

[Keeper]

I think a normal gay club is where you can fondle and have sex with another man. They consider that normal. And they think a man walking around in make-up and highheels is normal. And the normal women look like Andre the giant. Flannel shirts and boobs ducktaped down is normal. All this is normal.

Can you imaging the ones that aren't normal. Axe handles, baseball bats, mud, feces...................good thing for those normal ones.

Sounds like quite a party you had. Do tell us more. I always love listening to a man with experience.

[swampfox]

What I'm reading is just too much for the imagination of one man, Keeper.

I, too, sense the realism that comes from being there.

Do tell more, but no foul language. As long as nobody gets hurt I'll respect you as you are, all circumstances permitting.

[Unregisteredpvtdirty]

swampy do you and cueball pitch and catch ?

[swampfox]

Again, you're going to have to describe your ways and customs. Most folks don't know what you mean. This sounds like it might be a big thing in your own little social group. Tell us more.

[cuebald]

swampy do you and cueball pitch and catch ?

Are you looking for something to hit with your gay club?

I'm not into playing games, son.

You know, it really never ceases to amaze me how small minded some people truly can be. I'm not sure who this person is, but really... is the above necessary?

Well... just to enlighten you a little... you are actually very wrong about everything you just wrote. Funny how some people are so narrow minded they have no idea what the real world outside their front door is truly like. I'm not gonig to sit here and write that you won't find some of the things that this uneducated person wrote to be true (meaning the first paragraph)... Lord knows that straight bars have enough of it going on in them so I'm quite sure that gay bars do as well from time to time. For the most part, however, you couldn't be more incorrect. Flannel... ah... that's a thing of the past. Guess what... the dress is (believe it or not) just as normal as any other place one might go. Men and women sit at the bar and order a drink and chat with their friends. At the end of the night they pay their tab and leave just hoping that they don't run into an ignorant person like the one who made the above statement who wants to fight and be violent just because someone else doesn't believe or live the way they do.

[Gator96]

What's wrong with mud?

[swampfox]

Nothing wrong with mud. I like to mix it with straw and make bricks out of it, then set them out in the sun to dry. They still dissolve in the rain, but not as fast.

Beats the heck out of a mortgage!

[Keeper]

That is not the kind of mud that these people enjoy playing with. I've seen Will and Grace, so, JDidGirl, don't try to defend your actions. Who said anything about fighhting and violence? I don't care what you fruitbaskets do, as long as you keep it to yourselves.
Just like Tahoe, always talking about it and bragging that he is one. Straight people don't want to hear it. Keep it to yourselves. Go back to the closet thing.
And, gay marriage ain't going to happens so......shut it up. Beastiality is an immoral act right? People don't go around bragging that they do that. Well, homosexuality is immoral also so...........

[swampfox]

I have rarely read a more confused post than yours, Keeper. You got us all worried up, you know that don't you?

Your imagination is way more active than mine. I don't understand half of your references, like the one about mud. But I'm sure they mean something to you and that's what really counts.

I say be yourself, K. Don't worry about what other people think. Like in the song, just put on your best and let the party do the rest.

BE WHO YOU ARE! And this self-hatred stuff has got to go. There! It's gone!

Now you go and live yourself a happy life, homeboy. And quit pimpin' the ride while it still can drive, nome sane?

hey swamp do you or cuballs ever go to those pickle parks ? i would really like to see your gerken

[swampfox]

Again, a translation would be appreciated.

[cuebald]

Hell, I'd be happy if he'd write in something approximating English.

Probably drinking the bongwater again.

[swampfox]

I think he may be writing in Klingon.

Probably dreams of going where no man has gone before.

The boy's begging for a photon torpedo.

[ZooFuzz]

Are there any normal gay clubs where a gay can go and have fun without being harrassed or have numerous "younger guys" around?

What constitutes a "normal gay club", isn't this a contradiction in terms?

[swampfox]

I don't think that a normal gay club is what a lot of our posters here need, like the Unregisteredmasterblaster above is apparently used to. He'll probably have to go to some other country, like, say, Germany, to find what he's got on his mind.

I don't think his brand of fun can even be shown on the internet here. If he posts links to prove me wrong, I wouldn't recommend clicking on them.

[Here you are!]

Leviticus 20:13

13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

[Unregistered2y3uz9m]

Leviticus 20:13

13 " 'If a man lies with a man as one lies with a woman, both of them have done what is detestable. They must be put to death; their blood will be on their own heads.

what about a man and two bull dikes. or a sheman and a goat. and a rabbi.

[swampfox]

Is it necessary for them to "lie" in order to be condemned? And what if the "lie" is something completely excusable, such as a man saying that he had never taken out a payday loan when in fact he did in order to buy flowers, candy, gifts and a card for his wife on Valentine's Day? Would they both then be cast into the eternal lake of fire?

And are you an expert on ancient Hebrew law, or is this just from casual reading? Just curious, are you also well-read in Islamic Law, or the Hindu Vedas, or the scriptures painted in picture form on rocks by Australian Aborigines, or is it just the Hebrew Law?

Is the hair on the temples of your head left to grow as long as it will, thereby hanging down, way down, in front of your ears? Have you ever marred the edges of your beard (if you're old enough to have one)? These are also in Leviticus, along with the "no pork" rule.

I have an admiration for scholarly folks. Surely you can see why I ask these questions.

As for Unregistered2y3uz9m, may your daydreams never become reality. I'm not trying to be mean. Just acting as a moral watchdog over the community.

[cuebald]

I think these folks are looking for some of the clubs on the lower west side of Manhattan.

[swampfox]

Or else Spanky's, the one without a sign (or a license) near [deleted] in Lexington County!

[cuebald]

Which Spanky's are you talking about?

There are at least six or seven of them.

I wonder if they all use the same password?

[TahoeT]

Leviticus 20:13

If it's detestable, they ain't doin' it right...

[swampfox]

I did some web searching and I thought I had found a normal gay club around here. But it turned out that they don't take credit cards.

To me that's not normal.

[cuebald]

You're joking!

No credit cards? Absurd!

Cash is like, you know - sooo 15 minutes ago!

[TahoeT]

Cash-only businesses don't have to pay taxes on all the money they don't claim as income.

Plus there are no credit card transactions for Senator Wide Stance. Plausible deniabilty.

[swampfox]

You know a friend of mine actually went through the Minneapolis airport about three weeks after the Senator's incident, and she said that there were actually quite a few tourists stopping by to take pictures.

We are a colorful nation. Reminds me of the old Walt Disney's Wonderful World of Color sometimes.

[cuebald]

I'm amazed they don't have a post card of the stall.

Tomorrow's collectables today. Craig could make a mint autographing them like a basketball star. From there - Who Knows? Film offers, TV, radio - he might even do an album.

Don't laugh. If Captain James Kirk and William Hung can get a record deal...

[TahoeT]

I don't understand all these newfangled baseball terms you kids have today. Could you elaborate a bit for us please?

[Unregistereduranus]

I don't understand all these newfangled baseball terms you kids have today. Could you elaborate a bit for us please?

well the "spit" or "petroleum jelly" (which i would recommend to you and tahoe)ball causes undulating movement when thrust forth and put into motion. while the sinking lizard is good with a little saltpeter on it. hence the name sinking lizard it tends to stay down in the strike zone .which one do you prefer ? yes yes. confer with tahoe and get back to me . who loves ya baby .

You're not a friend of Pluto by any chance, are you? I notice from your name that you are from his neck of the woods.

We were wondering if he ever got over being slighted by the astronomers.

BTW - we all LOVE your posts. I'll bet the board gets thousands of hits just from people wanting to see what you have to say next. Please don't quit.

There are dark stinking corners in Dillon just like everywhere else. Let us hope that nobody stumbles upon the one where this boy was concieved and, not much later, born.

you and tahoe werent "IN THE NAVY" by any chance were you ? were you the cowboy or the injun .

[swampfox]

I think that "jelly baby" is the right term for him.

[TahoeT]

More of a utility player. You can see more action in the game that way...

[TahoeT]

Actually, I was in the Navy - Vietnam.

I fought for your freedom to have your little homo-fantacies on a public bulletin board. No need to thank me, though. Your daddy was more than generous.....

[swampfox]

Cut it out boy, you're cracking us up!

HA! HAHAHAHAHA

[cuebald]

I think he's having trouble getting a date, and this is his way of flirting.

Cologne that smells like BBQ spare ribs with extra sauce would probably be more effective.

Nah... I was in the do your daddy division...

I find it funny that I've known more southern boys who like to do the big nasty with other guys than any other geographic group.

They all pretend they're straight - and even have girlfriends - but lawsy lawsy the things those boys will do!

Other funny thing is they all sound just like you do - in public.

Just remember I'm not available, sweet cheeks. But what the hell - it ain't the first time I've been some boy's fantasy...

Smooches.....

Your fantasies are really something, boy. I assume that you've lived out some of them in real life.

Shaving somebody's back! Now that's a new one.

To match yours?

You want his to look like the picture you sent me of yours? How sweet...

I can't believe the number of people on here that condone homosexuality. What is the world coming to? Are you all aware that this is a sin and no different than rape or murder in the eyes of the Lord. Please be aware you will all have to answer for the posts you put on this site whether it be for a laugh or not. Tim was not created as a disgrace to our Father, he chose this lifestyle. We don't have to ridicule him but by no means should we let him think this is alright in our society.

[cuebald]

So, then, you could "choose" to be a homosexual if you wished to?

[Hellinahandbasket]

These guys are the biggest hos I've heard of lately. They're probably in some restroom stall right now.

Actually, if you look in your Bible, it's right up there with shaving (Leviticus 19:27)

And please do not presume that you have any idea at all what is what in the eyes of the Lord. That would fall under Proverbs 16:5.

Don't use scripture to defend yourself if you don't understand it. Shaving was not and is not a sin. The mode of the Jews to wear their beard a certain way was a tradition during that time. The Lord was telling them to carefully trim their facial hair to keep with the sacred tradition. Beards were trimmed with the most fastidious care, and their neglet was an indication of deep sorrow.

Try again young man.

Admit it, Bible Man. You are a world-respected scholar on the Bible and Hebrew law. Nobody living a normal life could have gained your insight, your ability to tease the meanings out of ancient scriptures, your overall perspicacity.

You are Pat Robertson, aren't you? Admit it.

I have spent the last 35 years studying the Bible and working at The Lutheran Seminary. I do speak 4 languages with Hebrew being one of them. But only because I spent the the first 10 years of my life in Israel. I beg your pardon but we don't tease meanings out of ancient scripture.

Trimming the beard was considered an abomination in Leviticus as was a tattoo. Also, all animals had to be taken to the Temple to be blessed before they were butchered for food. Since the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., everyone since then should be vegetarian, right?

You, of course, also believe wholeheartedly in verses 33 and 34 of Leviticus 19, don't you?





<DT>"33 <DD>"When an alien resides with you in your land, do not molest him. <DT>34 <DD>You shall treat the alien who resides with you no differently than the natives born among you; have the same love for him as for yourself; for you too were once aliens in the land of Egypt.

So which part of Leviticus applies to us and which part only to fastidious Jews?

Are you reaping the corners of your fields? Wearing clothing of mixed fibers?

As I only had about 15 years of religious education, and you have had so much more, please, Rabbi, give us all the benefit of your great wisdom and knowledge.

So, I was right about three out of four things, or three out of five depending on how you figure it.

Pretty darn good I'd say.

Bible Man, we often have to "tease" meanings out of even contemporary writings. That is what we do when we study literature, poetry, law, history. The only way to avoid it in non-scientific literature is to declare some kind of special status to the writings in question.

Maybe I'm behind the times, but I would expect that the ecclesiastical heirs of Martin Luther would not be quite so subject to dogma.

[swampfox]

Careful, Swampy - this Bible Man dude looks rather fierce to me.

I'll tell you what's even scarier. Try to see a documentary from last year called "Jesus Camp". It was shot in a real church-oriented "camp" with little or no commentary. The David Koresh crowd of Waco was a bunch of lightweights as it turns out.

Seriously, it was one of the most disturbing things I've ever seen.

So which part of Leviticus applies to us and which part only to fastidious Jews?

Are you reaping the corners of your fields? Wearing clothing of mixed fibers?

As I only had about 15 years of religious education, and you have had so much more, please, Rabbi, give us all the benefit of your great wisdom and knowledge.

I'm not a Rabbi but I will be glad to share with you what I have learned. The Lord was telling Moses what to talk to the Israelites about. He was speaking to a culture that was vastly different than our society today. Reaping the corners of the field was looked down on because that was to be left over for the poor people to harvest and live off of. The wearing of mixed fibers was again looked down on because he is speaking of the fine linen of Egypt. The finest linen, as he means, had sometimes one hundred and forty in the warp and sixty-four in the woof. This was the usual dress of the Egyptian priest. We can incorporate Moses' teachings in todays times but we don't have to take it word for word. We have to put it in terms to use in todays society.

[quote=Bible Man;64694]

Trimming the beard was considered an abomination in Leviticus as was a tattoo. Also, all animals had to be taken to the Temple to be blessed before they were butchered for food. Since the Temple was destroyed in 70 A.D., everyone since then should be vegetarian, right?

You, of course, also believe wholeheartedly in verses 33 and 34 of Leviticus 19, don't you?





<DT>"33 <DD>"When an alien resides with you in your land, do not molest him. <DT>34 <DD>You shall treat the alien who resides with you no differently than the natives born among you; have the same love for him as for yourself; for you too were once aliens in the land of Egypt. I, the LORD, am your God. " </DD>

I do understand you jest with the word molest. But that is far from the way it is used in the Book of Leviticus. Maybe reading the NIV would help you understand better. It just means, Love all people that God created. Love them as you love thyself.

As for the tattoos, at that time the practice of printing marks on the body,indicate allegiance to a deity. Moses was saying this because at that time cutting the flesh or tattooing was a symbol of worshipping false idols.

[swampfox]

....Love all people that God created. Love them as you love thyself.

If we all could take that to heart we wouldn't have much to argue about, would we?

In fact we wouldn't really need the rest of the law. Any law.

Not a jest at all. Cut-and-paste is what it's called, and "molest" was not the operative idea of the quote. I thought that is was completely unambiguous in it's meaning. Is it also a directive to be swallowed whole and followed today?

Trimming the hair was used in the same way as tattoos, to glorify and display allegiance to a pagan deity, and that is why it was forbidden.

Don't start on the dietary laws.

Of course it was a vastly different society. But which points do we follow today and which points do we not - and who decides?

Are these rules that applied to the Israelites back in whenever BC or are they rules set down for all mankind?

its okay T keep on packin fudge . your going to justify it anyway . remember to wrap that rascal .

[cuebald]

Ben Dover -

I know you. Don't you have a sister named Eileen?

[swampfox]

I hear that even today the Dover family is very popular in some remote areas.

[cuebald]

I remember "Horse" Dover.

Best danged Dim Sum chef in the area.

[swampfox]

I think that might be another set of Dovers. This one had three brothers, Skip, Step, and F.

[TahoeT]

The fudge at my house is always hot.....

http://www.timandvictor.com/images/fudge.jpg

[cuebald]

Gives a whole new meaning to "Breakfast Of Champions", doesn't it?

Has it been through a calorie strainer? That concoction looks like it would make the Food Police frown.

[TheeIsMe]

I did not mean to offend anyone when I asked this question. It seems like this has turned into an ordeal.

[swampfox]

Nothing wrong with your original question. It did draw out a bunch of the brain-dead localboys who don't seem to have much else on their minds, but that's not your fault.

Actually a lot of it has been pretty funny. A lot of these guys are right out of the High School Psychology textbooks.

[Captain Worley]

No ordeal at all. As Swampie said, it was entertaining at times.

[Unregisteredherpylip]

ditto . no probs mun . just bustin a few homo balls t, worley cueie and swampy . they know it goes with the territory . land of fruits and nuts that is .

[TahoeT]

If yer gonna pack fudge, pack fudge! Damn the calories, full speed ahead!

And worry not, Thee... It's a fun discussion...

[TahoeT]

ditto . no probs mun . just bustin a few homo balls t, worley cueie and swampy . they know it goes with the territory . land of fruits and nuts that is .

Tryin' to bust, perhaps - but ya ain't winnin'.

[swampfox]

The wonder is how much he thinks about it.

[Captain Worley]

I think that's what happens when you try so hard to supress yourself. I think he'd feel better if he came on out.

[TahoeT]

I'd just as soon he stayed in the closet. We get enough bad press as it is with all these closeted republican polititians hanging around bathrooms, and the like.

[Captain Worley]

Good point, Tim.

[swampfox]

Why do you suppose that, at least for the last several years, it's always Republican politicians that get into this kind of scandal? Surely there are some Democrat politicians who would do the same things.

I mean this is supposed to be the land of equal opportunity.

[Captain Worley]

I don't know if this is the reason, but for some reason it is funnier when it is a Republican. Maybe it is more likely to make the news because of it.

[swampfox]

Oh, if it was a member of Congress of any party it would be on the news. Maybe even governors or state legislators.

It just looks like the Republicans are going wild. Maybe it's the thought of impending democracy that's got them all shook up.

[TahoeT]

It's not just that they're Republicans - they're big-time "Family Values" Republicans who vote against every gay issue that comes down the pike and scream and yell about how sacred the family is - except when they're out doin' the big nasty in a public rest room...

I think one hears about Republicans more because they are more likely to be closeted hypocrites. Being gay is not as big a deal with the Democrats.

[swampfox]

That's right. I guess that there are no openly gay Republicans in Congress. I don't remember hearing of one.

Even old Larry C: He was just bending down to pick up a stray piece of toilet paper that some danged litterer had left on the floor of a public restroom. Public service like that you got to admire.

jesus , why dont you and T just get a room .

[swampfox]

What are you saying about Jesus, you atheist pig?

[Unregistered11]

what took ya so long prick . go thump your bible . douchebag . christ jaggoff

[cuebald]

Somebody's been peeking,,,

[Unregisteredwinkerbein]

only you cueball would find the homosexual connotation in that . hmmm

[cuebald]

only you cueball would find the homosexual connotation in that . hmmm


I knew it was intentional when I saw it. You need to learn not to be so obvious if you want to be a success at picking up guys.

Nice try, though, sweetie, but I'm spoken for. But keep it up and you'll be out of the closet in no time.

[TahoeT]

jesus , why dont you and T just get a room .

You want Jesus to get a room with me?!?

Uh... I don't think so. I'm already spoken for. And Mary Magdalene probably wouldn't like the idea, either.

[Unregistered&^%$%]

You want Jesus to get a room with me?!?

Uh... I don't think so. I'm already spoken for. And Mary Magdalene probably wouldn't like the idea, either.

yea im sure they would approve of your lifestyle . good luck with that

[swampfox]

Maybe what this 11/Winkerbein guy needs is a makeover and a drag show.

What is remarkable about these guys is how much they think about it. It (homosexuality) must be on their minds most of the time.

I guess staying in the closet might be the best thing for them. Maybe it could be a big closet so that they have room for their clothes too.

And a big supply of bottled water and canned food, including lots of Spam.

And maybe some books or a computer to keep their minds occupied.

Good luck in those closets, guys.

And by the way, I think we all approve of your lifestyle. We'd just be happier not to have to look at it. So it's the closet and/or the stalls for you.

What a way to live. In the dark. Lots of clothes hanging above your head. Barely room to lie down.

To each they own.

[hauser]

Look how long your rants are . This guy has obviously rattled your chain . Maybe you should look in the mirror . jus sayin . How many times do you post a day ?

[swampfox]

100 words is a long rant?

Well, I guess it's longer than the label on a Bud Light can.

Ask your mama about the other stuff.

[TahoeT]

When one only know six words, seeing 100 of them on a page probably does seem like a lot...

[swampfox]

11/12/whatever,

Take up a hobby. Buy a moped. Take a class.

Do whatever it takes to get this one subject off your mind. You're making a spectacle of yourself.

[Unregisteredhaha]

swampy do like almond joys ?

[cuebald]

OK, guys, the fun's over. I think this is a serious cry for help.

If only he could write in a known language, perhaps we could find him som assistance, maybe even get him back to his own planet.

Some of the words he tries to form seem vaguely familiar. Does anyone here understand anything about grammar in other galaxies or any experience with irregular syntactical forms or revolving punctuation?

Is there possibly a common intergalactic language like esperanto where we could find a middle ground?

Ah, forget it. He ain't worth all that much trouble. Let's go help an old lady across the street and call it a day.

[Gator96]

swampy do like almond joys ?

Quick!! Someone call in the cookie monster for translation!

[TahoeT]

nobody asked you fag . dont you have a trenchcoat to put on .


Six words. One of them is three letters. Intelligent little guy, aren't you? And so eloquent, too. Heck, if I were single I'd do ya in a heartbeat. You know all the right words...

[Lakal]

Whose brain will be donated to science and rejected?

[swampfox]

Again we have creatures inferior to humans in every way coming onto a human message board and trying (I guess) to communicate in their own inadequate way.

I'm not being unfair to you creatures. I don't let my dog eat at my table, and I wouldn't let you either. And I certainly don't have anything against my dog. It's just that there are certain times when species don't (or shouldn't) mix.

I'm sure that your inbred families and inbred communities are good places for you to be. Everybody's equal, right down to their fetal alcohol syndromes and the horrible conditions under which they must have been concieved (if that was even part of the process with you all). It's not being mean to say that we are all better than you and your kind, and we just wish for your sakes that you would find your place and stay in it.

But don't stay away on our account. Your's are some of the funniest posts we get on this board.

[cuebald]

Whose brain will be donated to science and rejected?

Such a cute little brain, too. Kind of reminds me of one owned by a friendly annelid I once knew, a most personable ciliated eumetazoan larva.

I wonder if both of its cells work?

[cuebald]

yea yea yea . theres more where that came from. Thole called he wants his horsedick dildo back. CLEAN MIGHT I ADD.got that junior. where did you teach sheesh ? jasper counties

If ONLY we could understand him.

It grieves me much to feel his pain and not be able to help.

Where is ET when you need him?

[swampfox]

I tried feeding his post into the babelfish on Altavista. Came back "unknown". This I can tell you is part of the anencephaly that often results from fetal alcohol syndrome and filthy conception environments. Recommend retirement of this organism.

But again, what's the use? He's funny.

[Captain Worley]

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think what we have here is a smooth brained homid, something never seen before. This may be proof of de-evolution.

Swamp, as the resident biology expert, aside from this example, what is the highest smooth brained animal? For some reason I'm thinking frog.

[swampfox]

Frog is probably right. Some kind of amphibian.

Of course in cases of anenecphaly there is no brain to speak of other than the brain stem

[Captain Worley]

In 10th grade biology, we took great pleasure in calling one another 'smooth brain!' For some reason, it really struck us as hilarious. I'm not sure the biology teacher knew what to make of it.

[Gator96]

I'm not sure the biology teacher knew what to make of it.

Kinda like re-learning mastication, huh? :)

[Captain Worley]

That or matriculation.

[cuebald]

I wish you high-falutin' folks'd learn to talk like us REAL folks does.

[TahoeT]

Which is altogether different than master... uh... um...ah...nevermind... :oops:

[swampfox]

Let alone osculation.

[swampfox]

Marcel, straight up, what is it that you want done to you? I'm sure that there's somebody around here that could accomodate you. If you'll just describe it without getting too nasty we'll find something for you. It may be under the bridge, but it sounds like you're desperate and I may not feel your pain but I think some people are getting tired to listening to it.

[TahoeT]

you perv . let me guess you look forward to your colonoscopy.

Oooh baby... Let's play Doctor. I'll be the proctologist. You're already the assh*le...

[Gator96]

you perv . let me guess you look forward to your colonoscopy.

To you, that would be a cranial cat scan, wouldn't it? Don't brainwash yourself with an enema anytime soon.

[Captain Worley]

Oh you got swampshmutts for that ........polesmokers

Yet another smooth brainer!

[swampfox]

"Smooth brain", or lissencephaly, can be a developmental malformation in humans in which the brain is partially or totally without the ridges and troughs that characterize normal human brain. The decreased surface area of a smooth brain is thought to be related to decreased function.

Other brain malformations include anencephaly, in which there is no brain beyond a rudimentary brain stem (rarely survives more than a few days), microcephaly, in which the brain in so underdeveloped that even the skull is noticeably small, and hydrocephaly, in which fluid builds up in the fetal skull putting pressure on the brain and actually inflating the skull. These latter two conditions can also cause shortened lives, although how short is a function of the severity of the malformation.

Such deformities, always accompanied by decreased or absent brain function, can be caused by genetic failures that may or may not have been triggered by fetal alcohol syndrome, although FAS is a common precursor.

If I get up before the crack of lunch I might do just that.

Speaking of non-stop - at last, relief from the unrelenting BS of the campaign. The repubs are having their convention in Minnesota this year, and guess which airport they will have to come through?

Our Boy Larry is Baaaaaaa-aaack! And he's writing a book! Guess what it's about?

BOISE - Outgoing Sen. Larry Craig revealed tonight that he is writing a book.

And, in an unrelated story, the "bobblefoot" inspired by Craiggy-poo is HOT!


The St. Paul Saints gave out 2500 so-called "bobblefoot" toys – which feature a bathroom stall with two feet poking out of the bottom. When the toy is shaken, one of the spring-loaded feet taps. The side of the toy says "For a good time call" - followed by the team's ticket sales hotline.
