First
One can get rid of the lingering smell of corpse fluids using lemons in the shower…
I’ve also heard the Sham-wow will get up any stains left by said corpse…
Yes, but how to get the stains and smells out of the Sham-wow?
New Lemon Oxy-Clean!!
*shakes rhorho until she drops the Billy Mays impression*
For the love of God, stop it!!!!
You’ll thank me later.
Whew! Thank you later, CW! ♥
Vinegar’s always worked better for me… but then one smells like vinegar
I think I would rather smell like vinegar then corpse fluid.
TBH, vinegar doesn’t chop up the long fatty molecules like lemon oil…
And you’re left with a refreshing lemon scent!
Wow. This is really not funny. :/
My brother died in Iraq. Thank you for disrespecting his sacrifice and effort, and the deaths of all troops and civilians in this debacle…
To quote VG Cats…
“… And we can’t have someone not happy. Not on the INTERNET.”
I thought that this Pundit was quite amusing. Heck, if we CAN settle it that way, I’m alright with it. Less casualties with a thumb war, anyway…
With all due respect to you and your deceased hero brother, I think you need to look up the definition of “disrespect”. While we all grieve for our injured, maimed, and killed soldiers, (and marines, and airmen, and navy ratings), joking that we might find a better way to solve that conflict is not disrespectful.
Disrespectful would be: “I think you are just a care troll pretending to have lost family in Iraq. You’re probably just Evil Pundit returned in one of his many sock puppets.”
Just so you can see the difference.
Well said Mark.

MKB, I’m sorry that you lost a brother. I’m fairly certain that this LOL isn’t meant as disrespect… I’ve been on this site for a while now, and have never seen anyone disrespect the troops that are out there doing their jobs, sacrificing for their country.
True, and enough said.
Any more is possibly troll feeding.
I bow to your wisdom, Rho…
*puts away troll food*
Shoot, you took the wind out of my sails.. but ok, I would agree.
You called it. I smell a troll.
I wish they did…
Looks more to me like he is playing an air xbox than challenging somebody to a thumb-wrestle match.
This is pretty meh.
I agree!
I, personally, found this rather funny. Not because it is just Obama and I am a Obama hater, but because it was simply FUNNY.
I enjoyed the laugh. ^___^
(and I do agree that it looks like he is playing an air xbox lol >_>)
That is probably about as good a suggestion as we’re gonna get out of this incompetent, inexperienced, SELECTED moron.
Butthurt troll is butthurt.
I find it especially entertaining when the butthurt use words that they don’t understand. Many called Bush “selected” due to the actions of the supreme court in 2001. I’m having trouble seeing any parallel to Obama’s electoral landslide, unless Susan is admitting that Obama was the electorate’s “selection.”
She may be making a racist remark, considering she chose to put
“selected” in capital letters. It’s possibly an “affirmative action” allusion.
Either way, she’s got a butt full of hurt.
Well if she thinks she’s too good for lube who are we to tell her?
Maybe it’s Hillary…
Never bring a thumb to a gunfight.
unless you’re bugs bunny
I’m thinking a thumb would be useful to have in a gunfight. Otherwise, you
run the risk of dropping your weapon. ;P
I don’t think jokes about war are funny. I guess that makes me a humorless turd. So be it. Since you like jokes about war, here are some:
What’s funnier than a dead Iraq baby in a pile of rubble?
A dead Iraq baby in a pile of rubble in a clown costume!
*****
Whats funnier than a truckload of soldiers burned to death by an IED?
An Iraqi fucking a donkey filmed with a night camera!
*****
A squad of American soldiers was patrolling along the Iraqi border. To their surprise, they found the badly mangled dead body of an Iraqi terrorist in a ditch along the road. A short distance up the road, they found a badly mangled American soldier in a ditch on the other side of the road, who was still barely alive.
They ran to him, cradled his blood-covered head and asked him what had happened.
“Well,” he whispered, “I was walking down this road, armed to the teeth. I came across this heavily armed Iraqi terrorist. I looked him right in the eye and shouted, ‘Muhammad was a pedophile piece of shit!’
He looked me right in the eye and shouted back, ‘Obama
is a apostate lying piece of shit!’”
“We were standing there shaking hands in the middle of the road when the truck hit us.”
…and here, our care troll with the “dead soldier brother” reveals himself.

I loled.
Bringing a somewhat tangential discussion over from a painfully long and slow-loading lol to one that generated little discussion:
I think you may have a point regarding the societal roots of homophobia in the cultures with traditions rooted in the Abrahamic religions, even among those who would say their disdain had no religious basis — I’d like to see a comparison of attitudes in other cultures. Any suggestions?
American Indian was and is pretty tolerant.
Pre-Raj, Pre-Murghal The broad spectrum of Indian cultures were pretty egalitarian.
The Mongols didn’t care
The Northern European Tribes didn’t care
Chinese only cared if you didn’t have a son before you went gay.
Greeks were almost enthusiastic, as were the Egyptians…
MesoAmerican cultures I don’t know that much about, bearing in mind the Spanish wiped them out before anyone knew anything for certain…
Basically, any where that had limited exposure to the Abrahamic religions were pretty laid back.
As a caveat: one has to remeber that most Scholars have the same bias…
In the case of Indian (Southern Asian) history, the bony claw of Christian thought is so strong that a lot of the India traditions were re-dated to be after the 6000 year cut off (yes, that’s the Creation date). We’re only just shaking this out of the Western view of Indian archaeology, where good Indian work is pretty much revolutionising the dating scheme of the old Indus Valley…
Interesting — obviously cultural anthropology’s not my strong point, so I’m grateful for the perspective! I’d like to think that eventually homophobia will go the way of discrimination against lefthandedness — that used to be considered a sign of evil/sin as well, right? Now (at least in our culture) it’s accepted that while most people are right-dominant, some are born left-dominant, and a lucky few are ambidextrous…which seems a decent comparison to the breakdown of sexual preference.
TBH, the way people do cling to their religion, it’s not going to happen. St Paul didn’t whine about my sort (Left handed) but he whine about homosexuals (allegedly)
I promised myself that I’d stay out of the previous discussion (from which this thread is linked) for all of the reasons I’m glad I did. I’ve had all of those discussions countless times and rarely have I seen anyone with enough intelligence to allow themselves to step out of their protective garb of religiosity long enough to understand there are other perspectives than their flavor of the Christian ones. Ok, I want to make two points:
.
a. As Fester has said, American Indian culture not only accepted but in many cases revered gay men.
b. SEA cultures such ans Hawaiian and Polynesian, Tahitian, Tongan, Samoan also had their ‘Mahu’ which were treated in very similar ways to the Ameican Indian. Mahus ranged from:
- being considered a ‘third sex’ and could include any man who desired to and therefore did perform the traditional female duties in the household, to
- males that were raised by their families to be the (marriage) partners of the males in the royal family.
.
Most cultures seem to have a history of accepting what we consider to be ‘alternative’ sexual and emotional ties amongst their people. It seems that most of the shunning of that culture begins where the Abrahamic religions come into into their world.
.
.
Second point:
Fester, you were looking for something worse than crucification? You don’t have to look any further than your own Edward I. Drawing and Quartering, when done properly has got to be right up there with the most tortuous methods known to man.
Thanks for the input, ACSIS!
The Blood Eagle was pretty nasty too…

Also thanks for the input on the other cultures…
