Queer eye is offensive!
 

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

I don't think a joke qualifies.

(Oh, that was YOUR ox . . . )

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.

You know....
 

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).

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?

Okay, so I need to be PC about this one subject then, right.

It's your board, I guess.

Then take your head out of your ass instead.

More likely she was sitting there in the midst of her pot buzz thinking how funny that you seemed to have so much to say, and wondering if you were ever going to turn the conversation to food-related topics.

Silly me. When you said it was a world you chose to enter, I assumed you meant academia, where any statement is offensive to somebody or other.

You know....
 

Good enough. There is some fresh brewed coffee on the left as you enter and the finger sandwiches come out at 4. Enjoy. Just be careful about Chevy. HE seems sweet and charming at first, and he is cute, but he has a wicked angry streak. Just loosen the asscot. Have fun!

I searched all over for the avatar that says "take your silly little PC-centric closed mind and shove it up your ass", but I couldn't find it, so I will just use normal english and say, take your silly little PC-centric closed mind and shove it up your ass

And on another note...
 

Jeri Ryan has the cuter face, and her implants are less "baloony."
For the guy - Connor Trinneer for sure. Archer has a pig nose.

fuck, the image doesn't work.

Bilmore, it was a joke.

Sorry, then. I was so taken aback at leagl's reaction, (pissed, actually), that it just sort of flowed . . .

Just don't forget my "honk". That one was well earned.

You don't need to be PC about anything. Make whatever jokes you want. Just as with anyone else however if I don't like it, I have the right to say something about it. I'm not going to refrain from calling you on something just because I'm an Admin, or even for that matter the Admin, why should I have any less freedom than you to engage in bitching?

I didn't see it as a joke, if I had, I probably would just have ignored it or made a joke back. Your timing, in my opinion, sucked. You can disagree, but kindly don't then suggest I stopped you from saying something because of my role here.

I shouldn't be limited from responding as a person to you because I run the board any more than you should be limited in what you joke about because I run it.

You don't need to not say something for fear of me saying something as an Admin, unless it has something to do directly with my role as an Admin. I've never censored anyone and in fact I resent the implication that I would.

Actually, it's our board, yours, mine, Thurgreed's, Leagl's, and all the people I have on ignore. ;)

The point is we all piss each other off from time to time. It's just fine to offend people, often the complaint by those raising the issue is to say, hey people can get offended by your comment. (See my boring-ass posts yesterday, excluding OUaTiM, which you should all check out this weekend.)

You know....
 

First of all, it's Mrs. Dude to you.

Second of all, nah....nevermind.

I hope that you have prepared a masterpiece of a 1000th post. Something from the heart that truly conveys your sharp wit and clever turn of phrase. This is all to say, don't blow it.

Queer eye is offensive!
 

See, I don't think it was. It was a simple play on words, but the honk suggests that we can't do word plays on "certain" subjects, even when you're trying to lighten a subject up.

And, leagl, I wasn't implying censorship. I was implying disapproval from you in an area in which I certainly think I've earned a bigger benefit of the doubt than you are seemingly willing to give to me. And that's disappointing.

Ah well. Sometimes we talk past each other, it happens.

9/11
 

My eyes just filled with tears reading that, as it brought to mind a sign posted on the entrance door to a toy store in my neighborhood in the days following 9/11. It had a photograph of a 30s-ish woman with a message underneath asking if anyone had seen their mom (please call, this is her name...). It just makes me think of the remote hope people had of finding their loved ones -- none of whom turned up alive after that day.

What's more, I turn around in my office so that passers-by don't see my tears, and the view from my window shows where the WTC would be now... so, more tears. (I used to work in One WTC).

I thought the beams of light illuminated where the towers once stood was a very moving memorial, especially as the light trailed off, but you couldn't quite tell where it ended -- as though the light was trying to reach those who were lost.

What a sad, sad day.

Food and allergies
 

That happens all the time!! Years ago I forgave the ignorance, now with all the press that the peanut allergy has been getting, I am amazed at the level of ignorance in the food service industry about food allergies.

Now don't go dragging RT into this.

I've been waiting for you, as this was a PC discussion.

Thurgreed is very aware that I come from a place where people don't honk.

Fortunately, the bullets have missed me.

9/11
 

I have a friend who was at Ground Zero last year for the memorial. She told me that the sun shone brightly that day into the hole where the towers had been, as if our lost loved ones were trying to tell us that evil had managed to bring down the towers, but that in their absence there was light.

I lost a ton of friends when Pan Am 103 exploded. There are places I can go where, if I am very quiet, I can still hear their laughter. I imagine Ground Zero is a lot like that for some people. I, myself, have no desire to ever go there.

It is a sad sad day.

You needn't wait long, but for different reasons than you're suggesting. It's when you're acting like a pompous asshole that I tend to call you on it. And you'll note that I've said nothing either way on the substance of the issue. In fact, the whole problem you just had with leagle revolves around you being you. You're just so convinced of your perfection that you'll never be able to see it.

What's with this?

In a place where folks like to use guns, they should be able to hit what they aim for. This just further lessens my respect for Texans.

Yes, and it always comes in a can.

No.

Processed Cheese Food is only Processed. Not cheese. Not food.

Think McDonalds Milk Shake. Another complex polymer.

mmmmm, processed cheese food . . . Which brings to mind another favorite. Not getting enough mechanically separated chicken in your diet? Looking for something with a little more tripe? More partially defatted beef fatty tissue? Try Potted Meat Food Product.

You're probably an anti-dentite too...

That's why in NYC (affectionately dubbed "Hymietown" by the "Reverend" (but certainly not "Reverent") Jesse Jackson) the Mexican joints prominently advertise "NO LARD" (if, in fact, they don't use it...) on their menus.

Good advice, though.
