    Really? Is that what’s going on here? My guess is the chick who always screws up my finance paperwork is putting on all of her gear (rare for those admin types) for a photo op to send home.

    • tehgrim says:

      im just suprised to see her deployed, on my post they usually end up preggo before they even make it to the plane.

    • Michael says:

      What’s the over/under on how many people she flagged with that thingy? (“thingy” = Rifle/Weapon, to those of us who didn’t ride a desk for a deployment)

    • Mossad says:

      That weapon is way too big for her. She could have at least grabbed something a bit more suitable for her size. What’s she 5′0″? You would think they would have denied her entry into the military due to her being too small.

    A woman’s work is never done.

  3. The Steve says:

    Ironic, because it’s hard to find a woman who prefers to do all the work…..in bed.

    • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

      really? then you’re finding the wrong women!

      • Captain Wow the Ambassador of Awesome says:

        I was going to say…. The future Mr. Wow doesn’t feel that way.

      • The Steve says:

        Tell me about it!

        It’s all wonderful and great for them to lay there and have multiples but damn…some chicks are just too submissive and won’t take control.

        Well thats enough about my personal life for today!

        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

          there’s a difference between submissive and lazy… a very LARGE difference.

          if DWN were here he could give us all the details but what it comes down to is this:
          - lazy chicks want theirs and don’t care about you.
          - sub chicks want you to do whatever it is that gets you off because that gets them off.

          of course that’s the bare bones edition on lazy vs. sub but it sums it up pretty well. and yes, some subs ARE lazy but i’d be willing to bet that’s the exception to the rule.

          You just need to meet a nice Canuck woman. ;)

          • I Like Peanut Butter says:

            Only if you shave and wear leather…

            • justacanuck the booty wench says:

              Shaving leaves stubble. NEVER shave. Waxing works better.

              • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                Or laser hare removal….. I think Elmer Fudd uses it. :-)

              • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                or laser it all off. cuz with waxing you’re nice and smooth for about 2 weeks and then you’ve gotta wait at least another week until it’s grown in enough for waxing to be effective again.

                or, just do a half assed shave every day. if you miss something today, you’ll catch it tomorrow. and then once a week do a good shave to make sure everything is all nice and tidy.

                • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                  I haven’t tried laser yet. And I’m a little odd….I like waxing….

                  • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                    my sister in laws step mother does/did laser hair removal. i wanted her to do my arm pits… but she lives in arizona and i live in ohio. so i haven’t done it yet either.

                    i have a sorority sister that was lasered “down south” and she got an “!” left behind. i asked how ridiculous it would look when she was 80 and she said “oh, i didn’t think about that”. *shakes head*

                    • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                      I saw a trampstamp on Ugliest Tattoos that said “Anal Slut” and I’m thinking…oh, yeah, that’s going to look sooo good when you’re 40/50/etc. I have tats and have no problem with whatever you want to put on your body, but occasionally I want to shake these young girls and tell them to think!

                      • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                        I’m thinking someone who gets “anal slut” as a tramp stamp is not thinking of her future… just my assessment

                        • PortlandMark says:

                          @Shortright: Your point would seem to be that an un-lasered region would be more attractive when your friend is 80.

                          I’m sure, when you see it written down like that, that you understand how funny your argument is :)

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          PM… i was meaning that if she was going for lasering she might as well take it ALL off. 80yo bush isn’t going to be pretty but an 80yo “!” is just ridiculous.

                      • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                        I don’t regret any of my tats, thank the goddess. A reminder from youth of foolishness isn’t always a bad thing, but sometimes I look at these girls (and guys) and think, didn’t you have ANY friends that had some sense?

                      • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                        i don’t regret it at all. if i’d picked some random flash out of the book i may… but this is a celtic knot that i drew up on my own. the artist who put it on me wasn’t that great though and did it FAR too deep so it scarred over and his linework sucked. the thin lines are too thick and as a result marred some of the prettier aspects of the knotwork. if i’d known any better i would have used a much better artist and as a result i would probably like the tattoo more now… i’ve got a really great artist now who does all my custom work and i’ve considered having him look at it and see what he can do to lighten it up and fix some of the linework and such, but i don’t think there’s much he can do. thick black lines are hard to undo. i actually need to go in soon and get my latest tattoo touched up. but i need to wait until the weather’s better. i can’t have a messed up shoulder in sweater/sweatshirt weather…

                      • dissimilitude says:

                        Even drunk and on a dare, why in the HELL would anyone have that tattooed on themselves? *shakes head*

                        I’ve got exactly one tattoo, which I considered for a couple of YEARS before I had it done; had a couple of sketches done for it, and picked a spot where I could A) show it off in public if I wanted and B) easily cover it for situations where I don’t want to show it off. (Right shoulder blade).

                      • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                        diss – i don’t think it’d have to be a dare. if you’re drunk enough, anything sounds like a good idea. luckily, my friends aren’t assholes and the few times i’ve been that drunk they take me HOME rather than to the tattoo parlor. of all my tattoos there’s only one that you might see on any given day… and that’s because it’s on the inside of my left wrist, but i wear my watch on that wrist so the band usually covers it up. the others, i’ve got to be pretty well un-dressed for them to show. my latest is on my shoulder blade and despite the fact that it’s pretty large (about 8″x6″ solid color) i can hide it under almost everything i wear to the office.

              • The Steve says:

                Waxing sound scary…but the results are so appetizing!

                • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                  “Waxing sound scary”

                  imagine waxing your balls… this is reason #1 why i will not wax. just, ouch.
                  #2 is i have a gf in cosmetology and she says about half the time when you get a bikini wax it rips off the top couple layers of skin and can cause bleeding but also makes you super susceptible to infection (including STDs) because your skin is effed with.

          • The Steve says:

            Sounds good to me!

            I hear Canada is nice this time of year…LoL. Couldn’t be much worse than where I’m at, it’s 14 degrees outside. Besides, we wouldn’t need to go outside…

            • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

              it’s 10* here. i like winter, but i wish we could have snow and pretty winter ice coated trees and everything at about 40*… this 10* and under BS is gonna kill me.

              • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                We have a hoarfrost this morning. Makes everything really pretty…..but the roads are sheets of ice.

                • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                  we had freezing rain here the other day. roads are mostly clear now… but there was a fatal accident this morning on a highway ramp and there was one the other day (monday) when a tractor trailer jack knifed across 3 lanes and another one skidded right through the middle of the trailer… closed the highway in both directions for HOURS and today they have almost finished cleaning up bits of the semi’s.

                  we don’t have the pretty ice on the trees yet. while it’s dangerous and kills lots of trees, that’s my favorite part of winter. it’s just so freaking pretty.

              • Naoyusimi says:

                It made it up to 29 today in eastern Iowa.

            • justacanuck the booty wench says:

              We’re at -9 (F) right now with the windchill……but I have a fireplace. ;)

              • The Steve says:

                Woohoo! I’ll bring s’mores!

                • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                  I’ll bring the Gociva Chocolate Flavored Liquor and video camera.

                  • Ivan The Patron Saint Of Shortright & Pastafarians says:

                    74° here. Windows open, nice breeze…

                    • Tragedy says:

                      Well, no fire and godiva chocolate liqueur for you then, Ivan. :p

                    • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                      and what exactly is the nearest airport? i could use a bit of sun…

                    • Naoyusimi says:

                      I’m visiting, Ivan, I promise you!

                      • Naoyusimi says:

                        Oh, that’s right … Bike Week in Daytona Beach is coming up at the end of February! Care to join us?

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          i was in st. augustine for bike week in feb 2008. it was AWESOME. of course i was there with a bunch of prudes and they complained that it was too loud and that the bikers were messing up the town… i wanted to hop on a bike and go have some fun.

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          actually, i lied… i was there in feb 2009.

                        • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                          I was in Indianapolis (waiting on a plane for six hours) during the staging for the big 100th anniversary Harley-Davidson rally. Bikes everywhere. They were noisy (hey, 10,000 Harleys and noise is redundant) , but all incredibly well-mannered and organized. Unfortunately, for some bizarre reason there was also a Neo-Nazi rally at the same time.

                        • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                          Sigh….I miss riding :( My ex had a bike, he took it, I took the child. Better end of the deal, I know, but still…….

              • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                Hey, can I get the hoarfrost without the -9 (F)? I really do miss the hoarfrost. :(

                • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                  hoarfrost? Sounds like a hooker in Siberia. (Or to some liberals a loud mouth in Alaska.)

                  • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                    Do not insult hoarfrost by comparing it to HER. :) Despite the unfortunate sound (yes, it’s pronounced just like that), it’s a beautiful effect created by a steady wind blowing ice crystals through the air in just the right conditions — you get gorgeous crystals on one side of everything. So if you look at a chain link fence from the windward side, nothing; from the lee side, solid white.

                    Of course, those Canadians may have a different version, them being all weird and whatnot. :)

                • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                  Sorry, Mabs, I don’t think you can. But you can come sit in front of my fire.

        • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

          It’s all wonderful and great for them to lay there and have multiples

          O_O

          Really? So, um…. this happens a lot in your experience?

          • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

            Perhaps he knows a lot of actresses. :)

            • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

              personal opinion here… but it’s fecking stupid to fake it. if he thinks he’s doing it right he’ll never actually GET it right and then you’re not getting ANYTHING out of it. if it doesn’t work, don’t fake it… just provide guidance the next time so it DOES work.

              real > fake. every time.

              • dissimilitude says:

                Agreed!

                • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                  Tell us what we did wrong.. a good man will try and change….. or at least use it for leverage.. :-)

                  • dissimilitude says:

                    Of course a total jerk will tell you he’s doing it right, it’s you that’s screwed up — but it’s good fair warning that you’re, you know, with a total jerk! ;-)

                    • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                      “I’d gladly twist that way if for once you’d put on the damn thigh highs!!!”

                      • Naoyusimi says:

                        Thigh highs are terrible. Stockings are much better. Thigh highs make even thin thighs look fat.

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          Fine if you must change requirements you now must wear a corset.. :-p

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          ilpb, a legitimate boned corset or one of those frilly things that doesn’t actually do what a corset is supposed to do, but looks pretty and ends up on the floor in about 5 minutes anyway?

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          boned and leather….. stays on entire time, for most part.

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          They all look pretty and end up on the floor … :P

                          Sure, I’ll wear a corset. Of either type.

                          Is this good enough?

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          Oh, leather.

                          Well, a man after my own heart. My man kinda likes that innocent and white look, of the pic to which I posted the link . . . but since you say “leather”, let me go hunt for something else.

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          ilpb, i don’t think you understand just how awful leather is for sexual encounters… it’s like rugburn, but worse.

                          and nao, what site can you buy that corset on? i want it! i have probably 15 of the frillier basically lingerie variety and 4 of the actual boned, make me look really skinny, kind…

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          Stockings + boned leather corest = Good things. Don’t understand why some woman shy away.

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          Shorty, there are other positions to try. That’s only when the animal side comes out. The tender side, sure skin and skin is good, animal….. give me leather or give me death.

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          ilpb, not sure which position you were thinking i was talking about… i can assure you that i’m not quite as vanilla as you might be attributing to me. however, as my name indicates, i like being naked. play clothes are fun but they always end up on the floor…

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          I know you ain’t vanilla, you’re rocky road with cranberries…. :-)

                          I was just telling you how’s I likes it at times… we’re human and allowed to differ…

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          Seconding the “Where can you buy that corset?” It’s adorable!

                          Mini-lingerie-rant here: WTF is the deal with the only easily-found colors in sexy lingerie being white, black, and RED? I don’t look sexy in red; I look sickly. Why not a nice blue or green? Huh, manufacturers? I think the fourth-runner-up in common colors is purple…which is also not terribly flattering to me. [/rant]

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          I’ll go shopping with you Diss to find something in your color. :-)

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          BWAAHAHAHAH! i literally just burst out laughing here in my office. good thing i’m the only one in here today!

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          Sorry guys! I found that pic with a Google Images search, and when Shorty asked, I went looking for the site, but I can’t find. I do have some wonderful sites bookmarked, however. I could post them on FB?

                        • I Like Peanut Butter says:

                          nao, if you’ve got places that have stuff like that for not an arm and a leg i’d appreciate the links on FB (either in a message or posted to PKI2.0, i’m sure the boys wouldn’t mind. lol).

                        • viking gal, now with holiday mellow says:

                          Minor lingerie rant–why doesn’t any of the interesting stuff come in tall? Vikings want to wear corsets, too, but ‘average’ ends up hitting in weird places. *grumbles, kicks dirt, walks away*

                        • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                          Not just lingerie that’s made to some strange ’standard’ woman, but swimsuits, too. Is it impossible for the manufacturers to believe that a woman with actual boobs might want to go swimming and keep everything inside the suit?

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          mabsba, apparently that’s as difficult for them to fathom as the idea that those of us with small boobs would like our suits to fit neatly over them without gapping, bagging, or exposing anything when we bend over. According to all clothing manufacturers, if we’re not 5′6″, 120 lbs, 34C and a 7 1/2 shoe, we don’t actually exist.

                        • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                          Hee hee. I actually wear a 7.5 shoe. :)

                        • Default User says:

                          5′5″ and closer to a 36C actually….Yes, I know how lucky I am to be considered normal size by the clothing manufactures… I’m sorry. I’ll go now.

                        • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                          Naw. You can stay as long as you make fun of them with us. :)

                        • I understand about trying to find the right size lingerie. I am a plus size woman myself and I have found that I am able to get lingerie from my business. I am a Slumber Parties consultant and we have a variety of pieces of lingerie for reasonable prices that are very sexy. I was recommended to this discussion by a FB friend and I just wanted to help out.
                          Here is my website if I can answer any questions please let me know. {www.slumberpartiesbylizabeth.com} I understand what it is like to feel sexy because we all deserve it.

                          Mabs! You’ve entered an area of my expertise!

                          If you want good swimwear, you’ve GOT to check out Fantasie of England. They have also have a line called Freya (appropriate for Vikings, eh?). You can get them from Figleaves.com, Bravissimo.com or several other places I can point you to. They have some great lingerie, but I love their swimwear. Conversely, my favorite bras are made by Panache, and I have some of their swimwear, but I don’t like it as well as my Freya/Fantasie.

                          They are all sold sized like bras (none of this S/M/L crap, or size 8/10/12 crap) and sold separately from the bottoms, so you can get a good fit. [Oh, I was thinking bikinis--good support, w/underwires--but you may want something else. They have one-pieces and tankinis, too.]

                          I sometimes scour eBay if I want a deal. The manufacturers and retailers clear out the season’s suits and some sellers snatch it up and resell it, and I’ve really found some good deals that way.

          • The Steve says:

            Hahaha…good burn Jane.

            But no, not every time of course. I’m a bit insatiable though, I like to hit it at least twice and then again the next morning, so it stands to reason my partner would have more than one :D

            I was ranting about one particular female who was easy to set off if I pressed the right buttons. It had to do with the daddy/abuse issues. I prefer not to share any more details than that.

            • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

              Well, I didn’t mean it as a burn. Just that most women I know have to work hard for just one and even that doesn’t happen every time.

              • dissimilitude says:

                FYI, this improves as you get older. Something to look forward to! :twisted:

                • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                  Of course, the real solution to select one carefully and practice a lot. :D

                  • Justacarolinian says:

                    Just for pointers, sometimes it helps to wait about a week. let the tension really build. That way, when the damn bursts, the whole town floods. And that works, in my experience, for both men and women. But make sure you both know when to wait, or you will tick off your spouse. Go for the 4th of July, instead of a little kid shooting one firecracker at a time.

                • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                  Oh yeah, when I hit 35, it was like someone flipped a switch. Oh, baby :twisted:

              • The Steve says:

                That’s unfortunate…I wonder if that varies depending how sexually open the particular woman is.

                I only have a few female friends that I openly discuss sex with, it seems like as long as their partner lasts a while it’s not ever a problem. They’re just as horny as any guy I know though…one says she can have one in a pair of jeans just by crossing her legs and squeezing/wiggling in her chair.

                Maybe some have an easier time getting there…I don’t really have thousands of samples to draw a conclusion from.

                Maybe I’m just really, really good…is that so far fetched? ;)

                • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                  Sorry, Steve, I’m going to call for cite on this one…..or a demonstration. :D

                  • The Steve says:

                    Demonstrations can be arranged…then you can be my cite too!

                      I wonder if that varies depending how sexually open the particular woman is.

                      No, I know a few women, myself included who are very open sexually, but have a very difficult time orgasming. I personally can’t get off on anything less than a vibrator. :( It’s not any short coming on the guys part, some of them are very talented, it’s just bad wiring.

                      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                        I can’t get off without external clitoral stimulation. Can do it without a vibrator, but it has to be manual. Intercourse doesn’t do it.

                        Fortunately I have it down to a science. Unfortunately it’s hard to teach so if I’m tied up I can’t get off :-(

                • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                  a lot of it depends on technique… this is probably crossing the TMI line by leaps and bounds… but you asked.

                  most women will have an orgasm more easily from clitoral stimulation. i dated a guy once who thrust in a certain way that his pelvis would stimulate the clitoris… i almost always had orgasms with him because of it. vaginal stimulation is a much trickier situation for most women, and as such lots of women don’t have orgasms strictly from vaginal stimulation.

                  if you’re doing something that is stimulating both vaginally and clitorally you’ll probably bring a girl to orgasm every time.

                  as for your friend and her jeans, that’s a clitoral stimulation. she may be hyper sensitive or have an enhancement (of sorts). my girlfriends who have clitoral piercings swear that even wearing underwear can give them an orgasm…

                  the ability to have an orgasm is SLIGHTLY tied to the person’s openness to sex, but not as much as i think you’re trying to attribute to it. if you’re really stressed and not so much “in the moment” you’ll never orgasm, male or female. but if you’re really open and into what’s going on and concentrating on your body and what you’re feeling it should be easier.

                  *takes off teacher hat*

                  • dissimilitude says:

                    Stress makes me hornier. But I’m weird. ;-)

                  • The Steve says:

                    Interesting lesson, and that does make sense, I do have a huge….piano.

                    How’s that for TMI?

                    • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                      Okay, the TMI is supposed to go at the beginning, like a content warning, got it? Silly boy.

                      Re earlier, less TMI post, I personally think sex is a couple phenomena. Both have to have a vested interest in the other. But, like Canuck, that’s just IMO. I still say, pick right and stick with it. We’ve done that for 23 years; my parents did it for almost 45. (No pun intended. :D )

                    • dissimilitude says:

                      Worst sex partner I ever had (at least more than once) was also the one with the, um, grandest piano. It was visually stimulating, but attached to somebody with no sense of play or fun about sex, no skill at foreplay, and some type of sexual learning disorder as I finally determined he was untrainable. Nice enough guy, just ….lousy in the sack.

                      • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                        that’s disappointing. the most recent guy was quitewell endowed and knew what he was doing, it’s a bummer we broke up. although, he’s being extra flirty recently … 2010 could be a good year yet. ;)

                      • dissimilitude says:

                        Oh, well, I’m very happy with the guy I’ve got now; that one was just…yeah. It’s like having a racehorse that you know could win, but who can’t be trained to get in the damn gate!

                      • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                        i had a 1 night stand with this one guy… drop dead gorgeous firefighter. fun to talk to and hang out with and he was not badly endowed… but it was AWFUL. even being a drop dead gorgeous firefighter couldn’t convince me to go back for seconds. it was such a shame.

                      • The Steve says:

                        Giving an idiot a tool doesn’t make him a master craftsman.

                        Even a master craftsman with shoddy tools is still a master craftsman.

                        Being a master craftsman and having the right tools seems like a winning combination…my 2cents.

                      • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

                        This is not from personal experience, but I have had a lot of women tell me that guys who are really good looking tend to count on sliding by on their looks. (BTW, a lesbian friend said the same thing about women. :) ) But I think Steve’s assessment is probably correct.

                        Isn’t it part of the GIGO phenomena? :twisted:

                      • oɹɹɐɥɔ says:

                        I also had a one night stand with a very well endowed gentleman, it was terrible. It was just so uncomfortable and he kept ramming into my cervix and I didn’t like it at all.

                      • Default User says:

                        I don have a good friend who is very well endowed and he considers it as much a blessing as it is a curse on the grounds that it scares off more women than it attracts. He’s found it helps to get his partner good and distracted with his amazing tongue skills before revealing what he’s got in his pants. He’s a very considerate lover and knows when he hits cervix (some women are deeper than others, so he can go all the way in on some but not others) and knows that hitting the cervix is bad. Also, did I mention his amazing tongue skills?

                      • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                        Um…..am I the only one who likes having her cervix hit? I have to be super aroused, but it can actually trigger an orgasm.

                • Naoyusimi says:

                  I don’t think it has *too* much to do with how sexually open a woman is …. I know from quite a few years of experience that there are certain times when, no matter how much you want it, it just isn’t there, and isn’t going to be there. Luckily, that’s really rare for me. I think that difficulty (if it happens the way I described) might have to do more with where I’m at in the cycle of hormones than anything else. Maybe.

                  • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                    Hormones, mind set, stress, medications, etc. The list can be a long one for most women. Our mental and emotional state affect us much more, in my opinion, than a man’s does. Of course, stress and other things can affect a man, but it seems to have less of an effect overall. Ever see that guy who talks about men’s brains being about boxes and women’s are one big area that’s constantly sparking from one topic to another. Sums it up perfectly, again….in my opinion. :)

                    • Naoyusimi says:

                      No, see, I was talking:
                      Mind/Emotional State = Ready
                      Physical side = Will Not Cooperate

                      Rare, but it happens.

                      • dissimilitude says:

                        I’m probably also going way into TMI territory here (seems to be the theme for the day!) but have you tried a little extra OTC lube on those days? Couldn’t hurt, might help.

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          silicone based is the best stuff for that… water based will just dry you out more and petroleum based is just all sorts of really bad for using internally.

                        • Naoyusimi says:

                          Even better (and it has helped, in those very rare cases): i’ve got a mint-chocolate sensitizing cream – *not* OTC. :D

                        • dissimilitude says:

                          Ooooh! Neat! :-)

                          nao, i’ve got one similar. it’s called “nympho niagara”. one tiny little bit of it and we went for like 8 hours. sooooo sore the next morning but man was it fun!

                        • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                          This thread is relevant to my interests…..where might I obtain this wonder elixir?

                        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

                          canuck… i got mine at a “slumber party”. it’s a company that does in home parties of toys, lotions, games, lingerie, etc. similar to a tupperware party in that you see the products at the party and then order them from there. i know there are a number of companies that do the same sort of thing but mine was called “slumber party”. you could probably go on amazon and look for nympho niagara or just look up slumber party on google.

                        • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                          We have several companies that do that sort of thing here, too, and I just attended the Taboo Show (which is a convention of sexual and erotic related companies)…….I must not have been looking at the right things. I did however pick up the fabulous We-Vibe II :twisted:

                      • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                        Oh, gotcha! Yeah, I’ve had that happen too.

                • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                  Well, to jump back into the conversation and add to the tmi, out of the three friends I was referring to, two of them are a hell of a lot more sexually open and experienced than I am. I’ve been single for awhile now, so any orgasm I’m getting is self-inflicted. When (in the course of a conversation about vibrators vs. manual) I mentioned that I’m usually good for two (and that’s doing it myself, mind you) they looked at me like I sprouted five extra heads that all simultaneously started speaking Swahili.

                        My first husband was very offended by the idea of me .. achieving orgasm during sex using my hand as opposed to just intercourse. That was not very fun. Consequently we had bad sex.
                        After him, the um. Few lovers I took, I decided I didn’t give a damn what they thought and got myself off during sex.
                        Current hubby has no problem with toy + him. So that’s fun. Also he has no problem with me doing it myself while we’re doin’ it.

                        • Dude, are you serious? Your first hubby was that much of a dink? I don’t give a rat’s ass how she gets off as long as she gets off.

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      Well, it wasn’t even a toy vs. guy conversation as we were strictly speaking about self-love at the time. However, when I did mention my average my one friends says, “I’ve never had more than one, ever.”

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    Well, that’s yer problem right there! My five extra heads always start speaking English first, then move on to French, before they start in with the Swahili. Ya gotta start slow!

    You’ve obviously never been in the military. The women rarely do the work in my experience. Anywhere else, this would work. Not from the military stand-point though.

      *shakes head*
      You make me sad with your obvious jealousy.
      The biggest bad-ass I’ve ever met is a Major in the Marine Corps. She was a CO of a Marine company in Operation Iraqi Freedom. She’s commanded companies in combat operations in Iraq, Bosnia, Haiti. She’s in the Guinness Book of Records for being the first woman Combat Engineer to move up through the ranks. She did not achieve all that by “rarely doing the work”.

      • I Like Peanut Butter says:

        I’m sure she slept her way to the top… *note HEAVILY ladden with sarcasm*

      • Justacarolinian says:

        The head MTI of my Flight in Basic Training was a female. And she terrified most of the men she met. And not because of her looks, as she was nice looking. Ssgt Rebecka S Nordin. And that’s been since 1988, if that tells you how much of an impression she made. She could be nice, and she could make you wish hell would open up and swallow you. And all with the coolness of Will Smith in MIB.

      • I hear that! Very few women I know who made the military a career ever did so by sitting on their butts.

      • Itarille says:

        I’m not saying none of them work. I’m saying a lot don’t. I was in the Navy, and even there, away from direct combat, women became a burden. Ever had to deal with being under-manned thanks to a girl getting pregnant just to get out of deployment?

        PS: I’m woman.

    • Itarille says:

      Oh, and one other thing. The Army still doesn’t allow women in direct combat. The ones stationed in Afghanistan and Iraq are pencil pushers. Up until recently, they didn’t even get combat training. So I’d wager that this was strictly for the photo op.

          Besides, you’re putting conditions on your demand for information that I never said anything about: namely, “in equal or greater numbers” — what does that have to do with anything?

          • mabsba says:

            • I Like Peanut Butter says:

              Sounds like a liberal trick to me..

            • mabsba says:

              PS My son’s friend was Queen Boudicca for Medieval Day at school in 9th grade. They each had to research a famous character, write a paper on him/her and dress up as that character for the day. He was William Wallace.

              • Naoyusimi says:

                “Medieval Day”? She’s beyond beyond Medieval – that period’s not even Dark Ages; she died in 60 or 61.

                But that’s a cool idea, to get kids interested in history that way.

                • mabsba says:

                  Hmm. I thought that was the name. I must be mistaken. I went to a REALLY lousy high school and didn’t learn much history and only took American Western history in college.

                  Yes, they go to a very good private school and do lots of cool things. In 8th grade they did a mock archaeological dig — each class made artifacts from a specific culture, then buried them, and excavated another class’s site. Then had to determine the other culture from the artifacts.

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    That’s another awesome idea!

                    I was guessing that perhaps they could’ve allowed the kids some leeway in the time period, especially if they could get them interested in the history and participate in the dressing-up.

                    • dissimilitude says:

                      One of my high school English teachers had an annual day when everyone had to dress as a character from Canturbury Tales. As I spent 98% of my time in high school trying to blend in with the walls, I skipped that day.

                      Now it kinda sounds like fun. Youth is wasted on the young….

                    • mabsba says:

                      No. No way at this school. Everything is done accurately. The dressing-up is not optional; it’s part of the curriculum. The history teachers are amazing.

                  • Default User says:

                    For middle school we did a field trip to a local mission and actually got to help with some of the archeological stuffs. Mostly it was cleaning off pits of things that they’d already dug up, but it was still really awesome. My elementary school also had a colonial day where everyone dressed up like someone from colonial America, and then we spent the whole day doing crafts. Mostly the types of crafts that would have been considered work in colonial times, now that I think about it. Candle making, soap making, sewing, rope making, lantern making…

          • Naoyusimi says:

            Too long? WTF….? My fiance said the same thing: “What was that? Four hours?” It was shorter than “Avatar”, but then, it did have some slow parts, and I could see how some adreno-junkies (like him) might think it was too long or slow. I think he basically liked it.

            (Ya never know. Decent praise for a movie, for him: It was all right. High praise? It was pretty good.)

            • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

              That sounds like my friend. I don’t think I’ve ever heard her say she loved a movie. She spent the entire afternoon picking apart plot holes in Star Trek. I’m like, it’s Star Trek, it’s supposed to have plot holes!

              • Naoyusimi says:

                OMG – it IS him. Why are you making friends with my fiance? LOL

                Yeah, he picks apart stuff all the time … once upon a time, I was the wet blanket in a group. I’m now the one who just wants to be fecking entertained. He’s picking apart stuff and pointing out stuff I never even noticed . . . sometimes I don’t wanna notice. It’s like, “Look, can’t you just enjoy it?” Does it ALWAYS have to make sense? When it’s a blockbuster-type movie, it doesn’t have to be perfect; they weren’t shooting for Citizen Kane.

                Anyway you slice it, even if he kinda liked it, he’s not overly enthusiastic. I think it just takes a lot for him to get juiced about anything. But then, for someone who likes to climb (or fly, in the past) or drag race for fun, watching a movie is probably pretty low on the enjoyment list.

                • Default User says:

                  I enjoy picking apart movies, but on the rare occasion I go see a movie, I prefer to go see it with someone who also enjoys picking them apart.

                  • Naoyusimi says:

                    I will if it’s bad … big time.

                    If it’s something I’m enjoying, that might be because it’s good in other ways, even if the plot had holes, or was nonsensical in some way. If a movie has good acting, has a good score, a good story, is shot in a way that’s mesmerizing or beautiful, or intense; or it has a combination of any of these things, it draws me in, and I can really enjoy it, even if it has some flaws.

                      2. Mediocre to really good and now I’m going to pick it apart because I enjoy that.

                  My friend also absolutely hates any talking of any kind during movies. Last summer when we went to see Half-Blood Prince there was a scene where everyone is sitting around talking and Mr. Weasley is sitting in a chair with this weird expression on his face and a pillow in his lap and it looked so unintentionally ridiculous that me and another friend just started cracking up. My one friend was pissed at the end of the movie. To the point that I was angry because she was so angry.

                  • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                    Your friend would HATE me. Whenever I go to the movies with one of my friends, I constantly lean over and crack jokes (very quietly) about what’s going on. Even if I like the movie. There’s something about this particular friend that makes me want to crack her up during movies.

                    I know, I’m bad. No cookies for me, right?

                    • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

                      I’m the same way. That’s half the reason I was so angry because I was really good for most of the movie but I have issues with people telling me what to do and telling me that I wasn’t allowed to laugh at that particular spot because she didn’t deem it funny ticked me off.

                        Although I prefer quiet during movies, laughter is not the same as noisy talking, and you are entitled to your sense of humor (warped as it may be :D ).

                          Wait, you mean other people? Well, as long as they’re reasonably quiet and it’s not “Finding Nemo” that’s full of kids. If your kids are too young to deal with someone making out in a movie theater, then they shouldn’t be at adult (not x, just themes) movies.

                        In the middle of the first Harry Potter, when Filch is looking for an invisibility cloaked Harry in the library and says I’ll find you (or something like that), it was really quiet in the theatre and then suddenly this little voice called out “oh, no, you won’t”. The entire audience lost it. It was great.

                          At my son’s school’s production of Othello, someone brought their one-year-old. It started laughing during Desdemona’s death scene (where she isn’t quite dead yet). My son and his friends were sitting right in front of the baby and kept cracking up. I found out later from the technical director that although the actors couldn’t hear the baby, they heard the suppressed laughter and couldn’t figure out what was going on.

    Boy was I wrong: the businessman wants to take advantage of “women’s ‘different’ sense of space”: all the parking spaces are three feet larger than a standard spot.

                Anthropologically speaking, yes, Asian men have the smallest penis size while men of African descent have the largest. Conversely, to make things fit, evolution has decided that Asian women have smaller vaginas, and women of African descent have the largest. I have a co-worker who is half Asian, half Aferican-American and I sometimes wonder what side of the genetic lottery she ended up with down there.

                  When we lived in CA, we used to say that you could tell the Asian-Americans from the Asian immigrants because they drove just as fast as the rest of the Californians. :)
                  But I can see why Asian immigrants wouldn’t be good drivers: an office mate in graduate school who was from Shanghai told me he had never even ridden in a car until he came to the US … in his late 20s.

                    Of course, were those sex researchers mostly white males?

          • I Like Peanut Butter says:

            I park dead center almost everytime. Unless you’re the a-hole in a luxury car or sports car (or rice bruner with $20K worth of crap taped on) taking up two spots at an angle, then I park at an angle RIGHT next to you.

            • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

              i park in the center too… i was referring to the 4″ when the jackass is way over the line and even being dead center he’s only got that much space.

              i’ve done that so many times at the mall or at the hospital parking garage… i’m pretty surprised my tires haven’t been slashed or my car keyed before.

              despite having a large SUV i’ll park in spots that most people in a geo metro would pass by because of people over the line. if i can fit in there, i’m taking it. the person over the line will have to figure out how to get in their car and get out of the spot, that’s not my problem.

Once, I had to park that way at a convenience store when it was very busy, but several people took off while I was inside, and when I came out, I was pissed because some ASSHAT had parked dead center between the lines, all proper and stuff . . . which meant that I couldn’t get into the driver’s side of my car. He yelled at me that I shouldn’t have parked “wrong”. I could’ve have CHEERFULLY ripped him a new ASSH*LE. Not figuratively–literally.

      • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

        Note: I saw a fancy new car straddling all FOUR of the only shady spots in a lot that had been keyed. Can’t say I approve, but also can’t say I didn’t smirk. (I know, I’m bad, and me being a deity yesterday and everything. Very bad for my karma.)

        • shortright the ivanist who thinks clothes are overrated says:

          my car definitely fits in normal spots and i really don’t care about shade… i’m more for the shortest walking distance. if it coincides with shade, score. if not, oh well.

          had i seen that fancy car obviously parked where they DIDN’T want anyone right next to it i’d park RIGHT next to it. i’ve done it before. you see the brand new car at the VERY far corner of the parking lot with 20 empty spaces all around it… i’ll park on the close edge of the spot right next to them (within my spot completely and forsaking the short walking distance) just to piss them off. it’s a car… it’s not that freaking special. park by everyone else, douchebag.

          • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

            Well, now I don’t really have a problem with that. It’s their car; if they want to park at the end of the lot to minimize the chance of some moron slamming a car door into it, that’s their right. When I don’t have a passenger, I always park with my passenger side up against the cart rack so I won’t get MORE dents in it from idiots parking next to me.

            • viking gal, now with holiday mellow says:

              The ones that get me are 1) the car taking up 2 spots in a hospital parking garage that EVERYONE knows has not enough spots in it, and 2) the oversized car in the garage spots marked ‘compact cars only’, blocking the travel lane. Grrr.

          • SO YOU’RE THE ONE!!

            It’s not so much that I think I’m special, but I really did spend quite a bit on the car and I think that’s a better alternative to taking up two spots close to the door. In fact, even when I drove an older car I would park way out there.

    “The work” being posing for cameras in order to promote the military and give it a certain image. The men worked just as hard as her to get where they were, but they don’t get a publicity photo. Why? Because they’re not female.

    This, my friends, is sexism. You can get any military person (M/F) to take a pose at least twice as credible and badass as hers, but this is the image we see. Why we see it has nothing to do with her skills and abilities, but only with the fact that she is a woman in the military.

    I don’t know which gender is being screwed the worst here: women for being used as promotional material, or men for being considered less badass than women doing the same thing as them.
    The only thing I know is being screwed is reality.

        Psst, Ivan, I think that’s actually his mom’s basement that he’s decorated to look like a cave – he thinks it makes him look cool.

        • Naoyusimi says:

          Naww, you have to put a few years on to get to that level of bitter.

          • Naoyusimi says:

            Oh, wait: He’s in mom’s basement because he lost the house in divorce! That’s right – I get it now.

            • Ivan The Patron Saint Of Shortright & Pastafarians says:

              It must have been a female judge…she heard him speak and gave everything to the wife. Can’t say as I blame her. LOL

              • Justacarolinian says:

                They split it all down the middle, then gave her the bigger half.

                • viking gal, now with holiday mellow says:

                  There’s nothing quite like country lyrics! “sleeping single in a double bed”, “old flames can’t hold a candle to you”…
                  :)

                  • Justacarolinian says:

                    You know a dream is like a river, ever changing as it flows.

                    • dissimilitude says:

                      I’m gonna hire a wino to decorate our home/
                      So you’ll feel more at ease here and you won’t need to roam/
                      We’ll take out the dining room table, and put a bar along that wall/
                      And a neon sign to point the way to the bathroom down the hall!

                      • justacanuck the booty wench says:

                        I loved that song as a kid. Used to sing it at the top of my lungs. That one and “Oh, Lord, it’s hard to be humble.” Drove my mom NUTS…heehee

    • Naoyusimi says:

      Dude! Is that YOU watching outside my window seat? I’m going to call the cops if you don’t get outta here!

    • Mina the professional stalker says:

      Dude, I like how your ranting all that machismo nonsense while your avatar is pink. Kind of hard to be macho man with a pink avatar, isn’t it?

      • whats wrong with pink? pink was bitter troll’s favorit power ranger

        • Mina the professional stalker says:

          That’s cause she was cute… wait, I mean, um… What are you talking about bitter troll? I know nothing about the Power Rangers, and I certainly didn’t watch them growing up…

          Anyway, Macho wannabe’s like that don’t like pink because it’s a “girly colour”.

          Oh, and for the record- the blue power ranger was my favorite. Ah, Billy… I’ve always had a thing for the nerds, even when I was a little kid.

          • Default User says:

            Pink was dumb. Yellow was where it was at. She was cute, Asian, smart enough to understand everything blue said and able to translate it for everyone else who didn’t understand the big words. I always wanted to be the yellow ranger.

            • Jane St.Clair Glamorous First Lady of PK says:

              I loved her to and felt that she didn’t get enough air time. Pink was annoying and I couldn’t stand to look at her but she got all the play. Now, when she left and they replaced her with the chick with the australian accent I was cool with that.

              God… I am such a nerd.

    • Itarille says:

      You’ve obviously never tried putting a kid to sleep.

  20. she best be fighting her way back to the kitchen, make bitter troll a bacon sandwich!

  21. Squid Viscious says:

    She’s a patriot. Something the fat, lazy trailer park queens and bitchy SUV-driving soccer moms probably don’t recognize because they think patriotism means waving an American flag at a NASCAR event or spending $450 for a Coach bag to help revive the economy. Attributing this action to her gender is demeaning and offensive. The person who captioned this photo needs to get over her/himself and see a marriage counselor. Or go and frigging enlist, like the subject of the photo did.

    • dissimilitude says:

      Oh, honey, you got NO idea how much most of us would like to see this particular captioner do that. ….but what does that have to do with “trailer park queens” and “soccer moms”? (You know, when you put that together, it sounds like it could be some type of competitive reality show. A total trainwreck of a competitive reality show….)

      • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

        No kidding. I watched every episode of Colbert’s trip (the best, of course, was the haircut!). Didn’t have to watch any of the rabid ‘yay troops’ commentators’ trips because NONE of them went.

        My personal support is helping the homeless vets we have here by collecting warm clothes (hey, it may not be Canadian cold, but we have people freeze to death here every year). We also help the local VA.

        Talk is easy.

  22. CAW4 says:

    1) Take cover =/= Sit around
    2) Work =/= Absorb enemy bullets
    Though it’s probably just a photo op (NOT work)
    This picture belongs on failblog

  23. Whats that word that is the complete opposite of scary?....Tacos?...Tacos, those are mine! I made them! says:

    Are there any windows left to lick on this shortbus? I think this pic supports the fact that 90% of women are incompetent with weapons seeing how she can’t even handle it properly. She must have gotten her training from huntin “wabbits wif Elmer Fudd huhuhuhu”

    • Default User says:

      Yes, because this one photo of one woman is indicative of 90% of the female population.

    • mabsba (who was Ganesha yesterday but still has the tribute) says:

      I would be happy to show you that this woman can handle a weapon if you’d be so kind as to stand at the far end of the local shooting range.

    • FTR, The Amazing Rando is secure enough in his masculinity that he does not feel even remotely threatened by the fact that women can do most things as well and very often better than men. In fact, the only two things I think we have a real monopoly on are peeing standing up, and making sperm. And I’m okay with that. I’m not so afraid of women that I have to insult them at every turn like this douche bag. Fear not, little chauvinist, just because they have breasts doesn’t mean they’re scary monsters. It’s gonna be okay.

  24. the zow monk of the high temple of knowledge who sits with birds and sings to the wind while having all the women around him says:

    Thats not a girl its a guy because women are not allowd on the front line… they are all in the kitchens and laundry rooms

  25. bigdaddywill says:

    NO!!! They are waiting for her to get ready so they can go out on patrol. She probably looking for her eyeliner or some crap.

  26. Mike says:

    The men already finished the work and are taking a break. The woman is just posing for a picture.

  27. carl says:

    thank God she is standing up, otherwise the men would have to.

  28. Me says:

    Bitch get in the kitchen and make me a sammich!

    • Naoyusimi says:

      You missed out on the sandwich-making. It was demanded by a bunch of basement-dwellers like you, further up. You need to be quicker.

      • I keep hoping most of these guys are joking. If not, then I have to apologize on behalf of my entire gender.

        • Naoyusimi says:

          You could, but don’t. It wouldn’t matter, really, because it’s not coming from the right party, and frankly, we’re just about getting used to it.

          Thank you for the thought, though.
          This is why we loooovves our Rando!

  29. JANUS says:

    army pron is awesome =D

  30. Oscar says:

    Lol, more like
    “Typical, the men sit around and the woman is an attention whore”

  31. Obliverate says:

    Unfunny sexual-stereotype lol is unfunny.

  32. Nic says:

    Woman picks up gun, men hit the ground. Pretty simple really.

  33. whiskasnom says:

    Women are doing all the work? Last I knew, there have been far more men killed in combat than women. And don’t quote me, but I’m pretty sure women aren’t even required to register for the Selective Service, even if they just want a driver’s license. Yeah, women are doing all the work.

  34. mac says:

    What work? She’s not kicking in any doors like that! n

  35. Biligum says:

    I lol’d when I saw the picture, then lol’d again when I saw that there were 508 comments.
