Thank you for a blinding glimpse of the obvious.

you're assuming that God is actually a man.

of course, if God is actually a woman, that fact would probably also freak pat robertson out

I went for the cheap joke, and ended up sexist. I was going to say "God is bisexual" but oh no, crap, now I'm sexist. That'll teach me to be cute.

A gay man who informs him upon arrival that yes, there was an Adam and a Steve would probably do it.

no. It means that the true believers need to send that much more cash to make sure Pat can make this work, and if it doesn't happen quickly, more money next month. he can't do this alone.

I think that people on this board are sophisticated enough to recognize that saying "Nice" is a direct comment meaning pretty much exactly the opposite thing.

Most who were paying attention to the topic would further realize that I was saying that based on your equating a "Footloose" joke with "kike," one could equate making a joke about Pat Robertson's experiences in the afterworld is equally insensitive. I'm sure Pat Robertson takes the afterlife very seriously, and there you are, making jokes about him wetting his pants and something he regards as abhorrent to his beliefs being smack in the middle of something he regards as central to his beliefs.

"Kill Bill" Two-Part Release
 
Mark your calendars:

Kill Bill has an October 10th release date.

They have divided it into two parts.

"Kill Bill" is the story, told in chapters, of the world's deadliest female assassin, who survives being shot on her wedding day and, after five years in a coma, seeks revenge on the man who tried to kill her. The film's samurai-style fight sequences were filmed largely in China and take place in everything from a nightclub to a snow-covered garden to a suburban home."

I am MJWM. I say if you go on an anon internet page, chances are you'll get insulted, and have your ideas ridiculed. but, see Kike is the big one. Jewish mom actually warn their kids "If you marry a gentile, when they get mad at you they'll still call you a kike!". so you know it a flash point.

Excuse Me Miss, What's Your Name POLL

Okay, time for a poll. This one is a little bit outable, depending on how much personal info you share with coworkers. But feel free to make your answer as generic as possible while still being interesting to avoid the problem.

I've been talking offline to another poster about marriage. I think we both agree that you can't find the person you want to spend the rest of your life with. When you're happy with yourself and at peace, it just happens. You have a better chance when you're not looking. When you're looking, you're trying to fit a person into a preconceived notion of what you think you want or need. When you're just happy being you, you have no such restrictions.

So, how did you meet your SO (if you're not currently in a relationship, use the best relationship you've been in or whoever broke your heart)? What was it about them that made you attracted to them? For married people, how and when did you know they were the one?

TM

Edited to fix poll so that it applies to everyone.
Straying a bit outside the guidelines, I don't think there is "the person." In fact, I think many people make themselves less happy searching for "the person." But I would agree that one is better off being happy with oneself and finding someone with whom they a comfortable and happy. If you have comfortable and happy, you really shouldn't be concerned with whether that person is "the one."

In the last 11 years, my wife has been made at me plenty and has called me lots of names (usually asshole), she hasn't yet called me a kike. Then again, she also doesn't use ethnic slurs.

Huh. I would have said the closer analogies were puertorican dice and The Targreed Incident.

To each em's own, I guess.
Except that no racial slurs were used in either incident and the latter didnt even involve race at all. But arent you the guy who thinks that TALKING about men who date exclusively asian chicks dehumanizes asians (as opposed to BEING the man who just dates asian chicks) or somethign? I dont think we are on the same side of the PC scale.

And speaking of prejudice, I watched a little of the Queer Eye for the Straight Guy show. Salon did a story yesterday on how all the middle americans are going to think all gay guys are Jacks. I think this is right on. This show is all about the one dimensional funny hysterical gay guy. I was slightly put off by that (which may be due to the fact that I spend a lot of time with screaming queens lately). I would also say that five Jacks is about four Jacks too many for an hour long tv show. It approaches satire. I wonder what gay men think about this show.

well if you are Jewish with gentile wife, did your mom "warn you?"
I think most people our generation would find the slur more of a historic curiosity, other than if it comes from spouse once again echoing your mom's voice through your poor battered brain. (yet to hear it in my marriage either)

Why is it that each time you post about Judaism and about how Jewish people "act," it seems that you believe that there is some kind of handbook issued and followed?

Watched it too (after the All-Star game, NTTAWWT). Comments follow:

SPOILER SPACE







Did seem that some of the "Fab 5" were exaggerating things a bit, and some of their witticisms were awfully stereotypical, like the one guy saying "When we're done you're gonna call me Patty Duke cause I'm a miracle worker" or his claimed use of "I'm super, thanks for asking..." fresh out of Big Gay Al speak on South Park...
The few gay men I know are nowhere near as flamboyant as these guys were portrayed... just normal folks. But I guess that doesn't sell ad time.

It was fairly entertaining though, and I did pick up a few useful clothes and grooming tips from the show. Much more watchable than most of the other reality-type shows.

This ain't no sock. Just some dumbass assjack newbie who posts too much and doesn't know shit. First, shit-for-brains, as everyone knows, I am not a girl. Nice try though. Thanks for playing. Second, what's up with all the misogyny? You think that makes you cool? Sorry, try again. Thanks for playing, though. Third, if you knew anything, you would understand that the post to which I replied is just part of my style. Here's a tip for you. If you cannot understand irony, I think you better find a different sandbox to play in, you stupid newbie. I've been around these boards since way back in the day, so you might want to try to find someone else to fuck with. Fourth, what's up with your moniker? I know what's up. It's just stupid. Next time, why don't you try buying a clue before posting here, you stupid asshat. Thanks for playing, though.

You know, booger, I am really tired of your feeling the need to post about me all the time. At first it was flattering, like you had some kind of cybercrush on me, or I was laminated list material for you , or at least you thought I was bangable. But I think I have had it about up to HERE with it. Find some other poster to follow around and respond to and quip about and memorize everything they ever post. Because I wont be reading it. You are now on a rest of the week visit to the land of Foof.

You ARE the weakest link! Goodbye! (it is so 2001 that I think its time to bring it back)
