Gay or straight… we’re not gonna let you get married wearing that.
Unless he’s marrying this guy.

**Up at 6am after a sleepless night waiting for some dorkfish to say “FIRST” to this…**
As to the pic…really wouldn’t wanna be forked by that…
Get a life… Or a costume like that…
By the way… “SECOND”
By the way…. “Stupid”
… wouldn’t “first” that with a ten-foot keyboard
We finally agree on something.
Well, duh, HE’S not getting married…he’s clearly the flower girl.
Besides, it would have to be a shotgun wedding. She’s due any time now.
Yeah… due for a back wax!!
Can anyone figure out why there’s a clothespin on the waistband? (I know… With all the things wrong in that picture, I find the clothespin!!!)
I think it was to anchor a home-made elastic waistband to a pair of tights where the waistband had been cut off… Not that the system worked to hold up those tights!
Aaah! My EYES! They BURN! Someone–brain bleach–STAT!
Can I have the bleach after you, please??
Sorry, you can’t *un*see it.
Say it ain’t so! Maybe with years of therapy we can unsee it.
Years of alcohol and xanax abuse will also work.
possibly thats what brought about the picture in the first place?….possibly. His belly definitely shows signs of having a hankering for beer. The smile on his face screams xanax to me. it’s an endless cycle, he started all this after trying to unsee something in his past. Cranky, i think i’m on to something.
Gripey, i think i passed gas or something.
your full of stinky hot air.
Ok, now there’s an abomination.
technically, an aggregation of abominations….
Please don’t EVER agree with me. It leaves a slime that no soap can ever was away. *whimper*
yes but the hours spent in the shower could be fun…
You two don’t need to shower together, you need to be drenched with fire hose using cold water!
*jests with much luv*
of course we need to shower together… ivan can’t wash the slime off that one spot between his shoulder blades on his back. he needs my help. *nods*
yep, i’m heeeeeeeelping.
I appreciate the help. But I have another part that needs washing. *wiggles eyebrows*
You want her to wash your eyebrows? That’s weird.
if thats weird to you, i’m thinking you have very dirty eyebrows.
I wash my eyebrows THANK YOU. I just don’t ask other people to do it for me.
Ohhh Kaaay, dirty brow rando. ( sarcastically ) i’m sure you have clean eyebrows…(laughs quietly to himself because wicket knows rando has some dirty monkey biting eyebrows)
They’re my eyebrows, I’ll wash them as fast as I want!
*adds eyebrow washing to her list of unusual fetishes found on the internet*
It’s a real eye soapener.
dove you really sink so?
Hey you’re in lux – I wash not talking to you.
just putting in my shampoo rinse. (two cents, it sucks when the pun is sooo bad you have to explain it).
Personally, Pitty’s prose perfectly pulverizes my pitiful puns.
was this a private conversation? my bad.
No, I’m just bad at puns, so I switched to alliteration.
wait what we were wanting to say was wishfull work will wank words which weep wonders.
Ok, if you are into deviant things you have a smaller group of people willing to partner with you. If you are deviant and look like THAT you just killed off even more of your target audience.
What it’s been seen, cannot be unseen!!!
what it’s been posted, cannot be unposted!!!
pfft
wicket, I didn’t know your arse can post. That’s very talented of it.
~yoda says: a cool guy my arse is.
Why am I reminded of Ace Ventura all of a sudden?
Um, how do you *know* he has a sense of humor? He seems to be smiling the smile of cluelessness.
oooh! That makes sense. I was wondering about the pitchfork and fairy wings (among other things).
unfunny troll = fail
I keep scrolling back up to stare it at. It’s like a train wreck, I can’t look away.
But he is pregnant!
Somebody beat you to that “observation” and were actually funny about it.
Since marriage is a personal choice, I think he should be able to get married dressed like that if he wants, and I don’t think “we” (from the LOL) should have any say so at all about it, unless we are the bride or the groom.
Nonsense! Arbitrary removal of equality is TEH THING!
No, see, part of that equality is freedom of speech, so “we” have a say only to the extent that “we” the right to mock someone who appears IN PUBLIC in an absurdly goofy outfit all we want, so long as we’re not inciting violence ‘gainst the man.
Inciting violence against the outfit, on the other hand, is free territory.
Oh, you were taking it as SRS BZNS. Carry on.
*whispers*
You miiiiight be taking it a bit too seriously? I don’t think anyone’s seriously suggesting that the Fashion Police are going to start going to weddings and disrupting the proceedings.
Considering some bridesmaids dresses? It might be worth it.
*claps* Bravo. Some of those selections -should- be punishable by prison terms. It’s cruel and unusual punishment to make anybody wear some of the abominations they call dresses.
I think it’s some sort of terrible friendship test. “If you’re really my friend you’ll wear this hideous abomination of an outfit for my wedding!”
I always figured if that if I did the wedding thing, I would simply tell my friends “jewel tones”, and trust them to find something attractive to wear. When the heck did weddings become an MGM production?
And why are groomsmen able to have their tux rental paid for, but bridesmaids have to buy the icky gown themselves?
/end rant
If people can get married wearing Stormtrooper uniforms or Starfleet uniforms, then freaky looking dude up there can get married too. LOL
Hey, if it’s ok with the person he’s marrying, it’s ok with me. I’m just hoping the ceremony doesn’t involve kneeling to pray, because I suspect that would be the last straw for those poor tights.
He really shouldn’t have shopped in the little girl’s section for tights. Homosexuality is not this guy’s problem. Looking like a nutjob is.
You know, I’m glad someone had the internet balls to say that. I mean, to each his own and all that good crap but you can’t win a battle by dressing faaaaaaaabulous. I agree. If you’re going to appeal to staunchy straight white men, speak their language and don’t scare them off. Scare them later, after you’ve swayed them.
Yeah but how about the negative sterotypes they reinforce for those that are working to make a change? Could you seen someone trying to make sure adoption is legal for same sex couples and have the courts pull out this picture as a response. Asking “do you truly think THIS is a stable home for a child?” You and I know it’s no different then showing a drunk straight couple but homosexuals are still, unfortunately, judged mostly as a group. not as individuals.
Your reply is made of win.
It most certainly is not. It is made of awesome.
Oh, I thought it was made of cake
*puts down the slice of reply she was about to eat*
No, it’s not made of cake because THE CAKE IS A LIE!!!!!!
And all those teabaggers dressed up like, er, teabaggers.. you wouldn’t, er no wait…
But that is because they already have those rights and responsibilities. Reinforcing preexisting prejudice is another matter.
Should it work that way? No, of course not. But it does.
Really stupid computer? Did you need to post that twice? Uhg, sorry kids…
*sends little bears computer to the corner on a time out for five minutes* And you think about what you’ve done!
Why so angry little bear?
It’s like Halloween, but with buttsecks instead of candy!
Aside from the crudity of your statement, I do believe you’re close to the mark there!
Sick.
But unlike most LOLs, it’s probably not surprise buttsecks.
By making idiots of themselves in public?
How endearing.
You like some “STRAIGHT PEOPLE”?
Oops…You MEAN like some “STRAIGHT PEOPLE”?
Or Canadians.
Nah, they’re just so wrapped up in the NHL that they don’t seem to pay attention to anything else. GO HABS!
Ahem…….the Habs suck (sorry)……Go Flames!!!
As long as you’re not a Vancouver fan, then you’re okay with me.
-I- like -some- “straight people”.
I have to admit, they make me think “Way to reinforce those stereotypes, y’all.”
You certainly didn’t see that guy on Will and Grace.
Depends on which episode you’re talking about.
It’s not like I watched it that often.
Typical asshat being asshatish.
Except sexuality is a fluid thing. It can change depending on what stage you are in life. I certainly didn’t like women a few years ago, and now I’m happily dating one. I can’t see myself with a man ever again.
In some cases, that’s no doubt true. I’ve known women who “switched sides.” (One switched back because other women are evil.)
But I don’t think that’s a majority. Bi or variable may have other causes.
But if you can switch at will, then it becomes a “choice” and a lot of previously valid arguments go out the window.
You’re right about the science pointing to a biological basis for homosexuality, but I think you err in applying a value judgement about it being a “defect”.
Next we’re going after left-handed people!
O_O *runs and hides in a barrel*
I heard the Norden bomb sight can hit a pickle barrel from 30,000 ft.
It’s just because we southpaws are superior to the rest of you isn’t it?
(I almost put “lefties” but I figured I get blown out of the water for that.)
The Mark 48 ADCAP torpedo carries a 650lb HE warhead over a distance of 23 miles. It doesn’t care if you are left handed or right…
I’ve actually read a couple articles to that point. One was the role of the beardarche (sp?) in pre-European contact plains Native Americans (shaman). Another is the tendency towards artistic creativity, a third was the additional support to the upbringing of family children by a childless aunt or uncle.
I have a defective pancreas. Also, eyes. I don’t apply a value judgement to them, either.
If it impairs normal functioning (and homosexuality certainly impairs the reproductive cycle) it’s a defect. Doesn’t make people better or worse.
I’ve known lesbians (or bisexual women leaning heavily towards other women) who got married to guys and had families. It’s all about priorities.
But wait – I can still reproduce. I have a fully functioning uterus and fully functioning ovaries. I’d just have to find a guy to lend me some spooge, since the girlfriend lacks that equipment.
You don’t need to find a guy for that, they have wonderful little banks already filled with the stuff exactly for that purpose.
And (and I may be way off-base here, in that I don’t entirely understand men) I believe that emotion plays a much greater part in female sexuality than it does in male sexuality. With that, if a women’s emotional needs are met more fully by another woman, there may be a greater increase in sexual interest.
Bear in mind that time spent in prison can cause an otherwise straight male to turn to homosexuality, only to revert to type upon release. Sex is a need for most people, and regardless of inherent orientation, when those needs (physical and/or emotional) aren’t being met in what is each individual’s usual manner, they will be met elsewhere.
I think you make a good point, Rattus. I think it’s also much more accepted for women to experiment sexually than for guys, to the point where hetero guys wouldn’t even consider trying the other side. For girls, it’s okay. For guys, it’s explicitly verboten.
Oh my gods! How did you find out what I like to do on Friday nights?!
I actually know a woman who prided herself on taking “curious” women and “initiating” them, if you know what I mean. But certainly not turning them into man-haters.
*balks* Rando, we know each other?!
And you know the guy is American from what? For all you know, this guy could be from your very own city.
The red, white and blue headband! obviously.
(pay no attention to those other colors….or the lack of white)
But wait, he could be French!!!
Or Russian, or Slovenian, or Czech, or Slovak, or Panamanian, or…
And furthermore, “different” doesn’t mean “defective”. Your brain differs markedly from Stephen Hawking’s brain – ergo, your brain is defective.
No, but “impairs standard functioning” does.
Reproduction is a standard function of life. Homosexuals don’t reproduce (without exceptional intervention). It’s not a value judgement simply because you don’t like the word.
Reproduction is a standard function of one form of life. It is not the right way, making a lack of desire a defect. (And sexual preference doesn’t hinder reproduction per se, it just makes the actual fertilisation less appealing.)
ONE form of life? Can you think of any life form that doesn’t have a reproductive cycle?
Have you never heard of parthenogenesis, you with all your fancy science knowledge?
Not in humans, no.
The question was “any life form”. If you plan on trolling, you might want to try focusing on what you’re trolling about. Otherwise you just come as intellectually sub-normal.
Sexuality isn’t optional. People have those parts to reproduce and get pleasure from them to reward the body for doing it to further the species, much like eating is pleasurable to make you want to do it.
Judging by your comments, I guess autism isn’t a defect either. They can still function, they’re just different…
Call autistic people defective again, and I fvcking waste you. Period.
I guess you can’t read very well.
Au contraire, I think he can read between the lines. :p
Exactly. Sheesh. That wasn’t hard to pick up at all. I’m glad I’m not the only one who caught that.
Yes. They are just different. But they can still function, they just aren’t socially adept. Hell, most days I’m not even socially adept but autistic’s have the added bonus of being ridiculously intelligent. They usually have a knowledge of math and logic that would make you seem like a three year old trying to count to ten on your fingers.
Right – I meant life as in an individual’s life, sorry for being unclear on that.
So, given that my formulation was strange, I will try again, even though you have already said the post was meant tongue in cheek. (I find the topic interesting.)
Reproduction involving a male and a female reproducer is necessary for most species to continue. Every individual in every species does not, however, have to reproduce, and some times there even are advantages for herd/flock animals to have individuals who are not having spawn of their own. I would consider homosexuality a variant* rather than a defect, because I see no reason to say that breeding is the correct way to live a human life.
*) Apologies if that word seems out of place, I can’t think of a better word. Variation? Variety?
Hear hear! I’d be more interested if they could isolate and prevent the d!ckweasel gene from being passed on.
True, absolutely true. Homosexuality occurs naturally in many species when they become overly populous. And humanity is nothing if not overly populous.
Too many of you, just enough of me.
From what I understand it occurs more or less commonly amongst a multitude of species, including those that are farm from overly populated too. (There was a Norwegian research paper, or similar, on this a few years ago. Quite interesting.)
There’s always going to be variety in all species. Nothing wrong with that. And there’s plenty of variety in the human species or else we wouldn’t all be unique individuals and all that hippie crap.
Some parents are dicks. Bigger dicks that I am, and that’s saying a lot, dickery-wise.
Personally, I could not care less what someone else’s sexual orientation is, so long as A) They aren’t attracted to me, and B) they don’t annoy me with it. I don’t tongue-snog my girlfriend in public, and I appreciate the same courtesy from others.
Similar to what I’ve said before, “Unless I’m hoping to have sex with you, I don’t care about your orientation…”
When my oldest daughter came out to the family, the pretty much universal reaction was somewhere between “….and?” and “well, duh…”, so I don’t think it was quite as dramatic as she was hoping for.
Yeah, it’s not always a surprise. When one of my friends from high school’s brother came out, it was like “Uh…not a surprise. At all. We’ve known that for years, dude.”
When I was younger the guy across the street, who was a friend of mine, hadn’t told his parents (even though everyone else knew). His mother found out when she came home from work early and found him in bed with his partner. I don’t think she took it so well at first, but I heard later on that everyone made amends and they are one big happy family again.
I would say that’s not a great way to find out!
Walking in on your kids (with the same sex, opposite sex, or solo!) can’t be much better than accidentally walking in on your parents.
I’ve had both happen to me. Walked in on the folks, and had my dad walk in on me darn near my first time. And he just changed directions and chuckled. I didn’t even know for sure till the next day at dinner, when he started teasing me.
There was actually a guy in my high school we could have thrown a surprise coming out party for. Even his parents knew. For prom his mother asked him if he was bringing a guy or girl as his date(which may have had a positive impact on his decision to finally come out).
Oh man–there’s a story for the wedding/commitment ceremony toast!
Pretty much word for word how my family reacted when I told them. Universal reply of “…k? And?”
Made it much easier, to be fair.
I’ve always felt a little bad that we robbed her of having a nice dramatic story for National Coming-Out Day. Girl looooves her a good dramatic story!
How is this photo evidence of anything except of a major wardrobe malfunction? Your comment is evidence that you’re a bigot, a homophobe, and probably so far in the closet that you can’t even admit it to yourself.
I’ve seen straight guys who look 12 months pregnant show as much as the man in the photo, and who think they look just great, when they’re actually making people want to vomit. Based on your comment, these heteros have a brain defect that’s causing their body-image dysmorphia.
Keep being crazy, heterophobe.
Can’t be afraid of something if you’re part of said group, a$$hole. As for being crazy…well, if you’re the measure of sanity then I’ll happily be “crazy”.
Okay, Banky. I believe you.
HelOnWheels probably is straight otherwise you would have been called a breeder instead of a straight guy or hetero.
He is crazy though. Just mention something about how great George Bush is or what losers people are who love communism and he goes crazy.
I like this LOL by the way. I think it’s funny.
Ahahahaha!! Oh, that’s rich, you pointing fingers. First of all, I’m a she, you fu(kweasel©. Second of all, seems that every body that disagrees with you is crazy. I feel I’m in great company. Once again, if you and Slag are the measure of sanity then I’ll happily be “crazy”.
*hands Ivan his pitcher of Stoli lemonade for royalties*
Oh, sorry. SHE is crazy. I should have known you were a she by your incoherent rantings.
I know the drill, I am not allowed to call people names on here. But they are allowed to call me names all day.
You can’t copyright fvckweasel because it’s already been used. It’s in the urban dictionary.
Since you’re obviously new here, but still think you know all of us and can thus be a troll, I’ll enlighten you. Fu(kweasel was copyrighted by Ivan. I do not take credit for others’ work.
I don’t know anyone on here other than by what they say. I realize that Ivan “copyrighted” the term, but it has been in the slang vernacular for a long while and is a common derogatory term now, rather than something new and original that needs to be copyrighted. That is my point.
The filter-proof spelling is probably the basis for the copyright.
Now go slither back into the kitchen and do something useful.
Jeez. A right-wing, homophobic, misogynist. Another reason human breeding needs to take a breather for a bit in order to sort out the keep/discard pile.
And you know why this is funny, Rattus? Because he actually thinks what he writes on here has any currency with us. It makes me giggle. *laughs heartily*
HOW, all you ever do on here is mirror VNV, Ivan, or Rando on whatever they say. Since I don’t know you at all, I am going to assume it’s because you have daddy issues and need a male figure to look up to. I think for myself and don’t go along with the crowd so that makes me unpopular. So be it. Bring it on.
Most of us who comment on here could give a rats a$$ about how much currency we have with you or any of your friends.
I see you agree with me, Incorrect.
Re: “I think for myself and don’t go along with the crowd so that makes me unpopular.”
Why is it that so many people who express themselves poorly* and writes comments in a hostile manner think it’s their “special” opinions that make them unpopular?
*) poorly when it comes to the debate climate, not necessarily language-wise
Hey, leave me out of this, dicksniffer!
You are a misogynist because you seem to think women belong in the kitchen and you say that HoW’s gender explains her ‘crazy rantings’. Yesterday you and I were in fact having a debate, but you started running out of arguments and just insulting me. If you want to have a serious debate then have a debate. If you want to stand around insulting people then I’m just going to assume you lost the debate and have been forced to juvenile name calling out a lack of better things to do.
Oh, guest. You’re obviously having a difficult time grasping the idea that it’s not your ideas or “not going along with the crowd” that makes you unpopular on here. It’s because you’re being a douche. I get along just fine with the conservatives, like JAC & Eddie & Froo & Diss, that post on here. So, based on your statement you’re mirroring Jim and Sqwirk?
You can’t even come up with a good assumed-fake psychological illness for me! Daddy issues. Seriously?
Yeah, I saw where you had to run to Ivan for help. You are such a follower. I get along with people just fine when they don’t call me names or try to insult my intelligence. It is daddy issues isn’t it? Poor thing, what did he do to you?
Ivan for help? I was telling him that I gave him his royalties. I don’t need help battling the likes of you. When I say things about your lack of intelligence it’s not an insult if it’s true.
Keep telling yourself that. I’m not going to get into an IQ measuring contest with you. I wouldn’t want to embarrass you in front of all your friends that you look up to.
Ahaha! Yes, you don’t go with the crowd. Right. You might as well have said “let’s whip them out and compare”. Typical.
Actually, I said let’s not. You sure do talk to me a lot for someone who can’t stand me. Why don’t you just shut up.
An IQ contest with HOW? Okay, guest, here’s a flashlight. You have that, along with your two hands. Now let’s see if you can find your ass.
I’m not one of your blow-up dolls. Telling me what to do will not work.
Wow, this guest…thing is stooping to new lows in douchiness. I pretty much avoided this whole thread because I knew it would get nasty. I just never guessed it would get so bad that trolls would attack our women.
Guest, nobody runs to us for help, you fu(kweasel™. You’re just jealous that you’re not in on the “in-jokes”.
Nice revisionism, guest. If YOU go back and look, as I did, it was you that stepped up and continued Slagg’s insults. But I shouldn’t have surprised as that’s becoming your M.O.
Hey HOW…who’s your daddy? *giggles hysterically*
How many women does it take to screw in a lightbulb? None! Let her cook in the dark! Hi-O!
And who do YOU belong to little sock? Are you lost little fella? Aww. Will anyone claim this poor little sockie?
Dude, seriously, what is going on around here lately?!
Well, making an assumption on a comment on one of the previous lols, it would appear that someone was visiting ROFLRazzi and seemed to have pissed of the general populace. It’s either that, or BT left the gate open.
Well, it looks like the only solution is to bomb the Baldwin Compound…
*hops in the jet*
I’ll be back in half an hour…
And don’t miss that youngest one, what’s his name? Well, no matter. Don’t miss any of the bastards.
*snerk* I see those dudes swaggering down Wasaga Beach sporting speedos every summer. Thanks for reminding me of the one thing that makes me glad that summer’s over.
I can’t help imagining the guy in the photo is a straight middle manager doing it for a bet.
I would love to have money on a bet like that.
“I’ve seen straight guys who look 12 months pregnant show as much as the man in the photo,”
Ah, no, because even plumbers hitch their pants up higher than that guy.
Anyway, I know snarky humor doesn’t carry TOO well over the tubes, but you should have realized that the first sentence was a joke, and that all that post except the science was tongue-in-cheek.
Possibly you just couldn’t see that past the colossal chip on your shoulder.
Ah, well, more laughs for the rest of us.
Let’s take a poll and see if anybody else thought you were being snarky or sarcastic, shall we? I doubt it.
Put me down as “didn’t notice the joke”.
Yeah, too damn subtle for me…
Me also. Sounded totally non-humor.
I might have gotten it if you hadn’t tried mixing humor with science. If you’d left it at the first sentence I may have thought you were joking. I wouldn’t have thought it was funny, but at least I may have known it was supposed to be humorous.
I’ll have to say the joke/sarcasm escaped me as well. I would also take issue with calling homosexuality a defect. I’m sure there’s another word that would be more appropriate, but I can’t think of it at the moment.
Like Danbala said, a variant.
Geez, yes I did read that and the word is perfect!
If we are talking strictly about people being baby-making machines, then maybe, but then straight people who don’t want kids would also be defective. But then homosexuals who do have kids of their own wouldn’t be defective. So the whole argument falls apart anyway.
Well, I can’t see any pubes on display here, but I’m willing to guess that they’re all there, judging by the state of the back & shoulders! With caucasian males there’s no obvious place to stop with the waxing….
wut=in the closet
GTFO of my damn closet, wut. You’re wrinkling things all to hell and you’ve knocked over the Christmas wrap.
Homosexuality is still defined as a mental disorder IF *look people* IF it causes the person mental distress.
Dude, for real? LMAO My job causes me mental distress. Can we call it a mental disorder too?
Seriously, it’s in the DSM-IV
Um. No. It’s not. In fact, when the DSM-IV came out there was a bit of drama because homosexuality ISN’T in the DSM-IV anymore.
You’re right I only talked to a psychologist about it one week ago.
I looked it up in the DSM IV today at work. It was not in there.
Well then I need a refund on that college edmakation.
If only it were that simple..
Plus it’s not listed in the first part (which is what most psychologists diagnosis out of) It’s listed as a personality disorder, either that or I’ve SERIOUSLY got to have a talk with the dean of the school.
I don’t see it in here at all.
Yeah, I’ve heard that it’s supposed to be completely gone from the DSM-IV.
Sexual Masochism is still in here though.
And fetishism and a bunch of other fun stuff. Our equivalent to the Surgeon General at least stopped defining us a SICK as of last summer. (They’ve had more of their reasoning based on ICD where for instance sadomasochism is/was(?) defined as a mental disease even if you and people around you weren’t suffering from it (unlike the old DSM-formulation of the issue).
The DSM’s wording around paraphilias is pretty strange too.
It is pretty strange.. I agree. But In the DSM-IV it does specify that the thoughts/ fantasies/acts have to cause “clinically significant distress or impairment” in important areas of functioning.
So, I guess, as long as getting tied up and smacked around doesn’t cause that.. You’re not sick.
Thanks to the gods.
It’s just that … essentially, it says that you’re not a sadist, a masochist, a fetishist etc. unless it makes you feel bad. Theoretically I suppse that would mean that everything is just normal as long as you don’t suffer mentally, but it is a bit strange still. I wonder if it was the same thing with homosexuality back when it was classified as a disease?
Ah, now I’m rambling. I still find myself very skeptical to the idea that feeling upset and bad about being a sadist or a masochist must mean it’s a disease – it can just be a rather normal awareness and sensitivity to your surroundings and their perceptions.
Hmm.. That’s not how I read it.
I read it as being a disorder (you are sick) if it causes previously said impairment to your life. If it doesn’t impair your life.. Then you’re fine.
See, to me, to be classified as having the “Sexual Masochism Disorder” (or whatever) means you’re sick because your masochistic tendencies fukc up your life somehow.
But, being a masochist doesn’t make you sick. It just makes you dirty.
Now I’m rambling.
We partially talk about different phrasings, I bet!
*breaks out the whips and handcuffs*
Perhaps we should discuss something else..
Um….I’m suffering some hysteria here, I think I need repeated treatments……..any volunteers?

If it makes you feel any better, we heteros have plenty of people who embarrass us too, and dress even worse than that guy (go to peopleofwalmart.com for examples LOL).
Oh man, you guys are SO TOTALLY jealous of that guy. He’s so much more interesting than you.
But it’s okay for…say…a Kardashian to get married, because she isn’t a freak like that.
“Oh man, you guys are SO TOTALLY jealous of that guy.”
Uhh… No?
Well, maybe a little jealous of his total lack of self-consciousness. I don’t even like to go to the grocery store in shorts.
I’m a bit jealous of the ass. He has a very shapely ass, and you can even see most of it!
i feel sad for you, in a nice way. what could be so bad about the area between your knees and your feet that you wouldn’t want them to be visible?
Nothing at all, actually, I have pretty darn nice legs — I just feel self-conscious about putting them on display in public. I’m a bit overly modest about it, is probably the best way of putting it.
Oh, and to be specific, it’s pretty much the area between my knees and my ladybits I don’t like to show off in public. No problems wearing skirts, for example, as long as they’re at least almost to my knees.
I am a teeny-tiny little bit, because he has the self-confidence to go out in public in -that- outfit, not caring what anybody thinks. On the other hand, he may be completely deluded and has no idea what he -really- looks like when he wears that thing, which complete negates any “jealousy” I felt initially.
And the bastard’s got more hair than me. Not fair.
More back hair?
Well, there and everywhere else. Except possibly ears.
Kardashian? Are you f*cking serious? That woman is a complete waste of air and to say she isn’t a freak is so not true.
Aside from that, no, I’m not jealous. Maybe a little sympathetic, but certainly not jealous. I think I have a much better physique even though I probably have 20+ years on the guy.
glittery pixie fairy…is that edward cullen?
Nah, this guy is better dressd.
but why cant million black dudes get onto a few bus’s and protest something?
thinking they cant just seems silly.
now a million troll march is normally considered an invasion…because we are invadeing.
“equality is what the country is based on…”
Just want to add that most of the “developed western world” could be replaced for the “country” in your sentence. We get the pride parades and equality discussions and stuff outside the US too!
so slag, have you tried asking your menopausal mother how she feels about being a defective human now that she’s no longer fertile…. bet that went over well at the dinner table – topic of discussion tonight ma: euthenasia for women who no longer ovulate……
Ooh! I want to be on THAT Death Panel..
awesome post. i love when people don’t contribute to humor, but rather just express their ideological views. IT’S AWESOME!!!
that does explain a few things about my ex…..
Wouldn’t that mean that being male is a hormonal defect? I mean, all embryos start out as female until the addition of testosterone, right?
You may have a point. They’re all defective! *begins stamping “Defective: Return to Manufacturer” on all the men she knows.*
I am looking for my brother. have you seen him?
