Ask me your Dear Abby questions

Dear Quicksilver,

I dunno; does it taste infected?

The Weird One

Dear . . . since you didn’t sign your letter, I hereby dub thee Hannibal.

[huff]Well, if you already know the correct answer, what are you asking me for?[/huff]

In the meantime, I recall learning somewhere that human flesh tastes like pork, and that the best parts are the breastmeat or the arm, depending on which account of 19th century pioneers getting stuck in snowstorms you read.

Your family, though, is asking where it came from, not what it is. The answer to that is ridiculously easy: tell them you stop at the butcher’s on the way home from work. I’d be annoyed at you for even asking this question, if you hadn’t provided me with such a perfect opportunity to showcase my inappropriately detailed knowledge of the edibility of human flesh.

Dear Iceland Blue,

First, tell the Egyptian slave to relax, the pyramids have already been built. His job is done, and he can go away now.

The military commander should leave, too; since the Great Planetary War isn’t going on now, there’s nothing he can really do to help. And we’ve all read enough sci-fi to know that any attempts to alter the future for one’s benefit will blow up in one’s face. Tell him you’ll let him know when the war starts, and until then he should lie low.

Tell me more about this Victoria . . . does she perchance bear any resemblance to the main character in this movie? Perhaps she should come over to my house so we can talk about her problems more in-depth. Tell her wear a nightie and bring a soft fluffy pillow.

The Weird One

Dear Cletus,

Probably you will remain newlyweds until you stop asking Rhonda to stop popping your back pimples. Exactly how old are you, anyway? Last I checked, most states have laws prohibiting people who are still getting back pimples from getting married.

Anyway, here’s my suggestion: tomorrow morning, go to the chicken coop with Rhonda. Lie down in the chicken yard on your stomach and have Rhonda scatter the chicken feed over your back. The pimple will look enough like a piece of ground corn that one of the birds is bound to peck it open for you.

The Weird One

And **Iceland_Blue **wonders why so many Dopers think he’s female?

Dear IWBWFYA,

Tell me, what do you have to offer this mystery woman? Are you attractive? Intelligent? Funny? Eager to serve your Mistress on hands and knees? Do you strive to overcome your imperfect maleness by grovelling before the perfect Feminine? humph I’ve cut better men than you. Still, there’s probably nothing a few – all right, several – good hard floggings couldn’t cure.

The Weird One

Yes, yes, yes. Attractive, intelligent, and funny and very eager to serve my Mistress on hands and knees.
And…and…I already have overcome my imperfect maleness. I am female. :smiley:
humbly surrenders my steak knife to my Mistress and pretends I am not looking forward to the floggings as I grovel in complete submission

:wink:

Dear Ethel,

Are you sure you don’t mean Iphigenia?

Your husband is expressing an interest in a variation of the trampling fantasy. The most common version of this fantasy is being stepped on by a woman in spiked high heels. In your husband’s case, however, the desire is not to be dominated by the feminine, but by a Canadian lumberjack. I recommend you buy a pair of boots and a Nancy Sinatra album. Next time your husband comes home from work, put the album on and greet him wearing nothings but the boots. Won’t he be surprised!

The Weird One

Oh, no you don’t! This one’s mine! wrestles Sweatfreak bodily away from Iceland_Blue

Dear Abby,

I read in a book somewhere that five billion years from now, the sun is going to expand and engulf the planet Earth, destroying everything here in the world.

What can we, as concerned citizens, do about this? I don’t want all of our human accomplishments to go up in a puff of smoke!

Dear DPPM (Drunken Poker-Playing Mastubator),

Logic decrees that whoever produced the most semen must be the father of the twins, right? So I’m afraid you’re stuck with them. But you can always console yourself by remembering that you’re more of a man than either of your friends.

The other two should figure out which kid they want. If they each want a different one, then you’re set. If they both want the same one, then they should resolve the issue through trial-by-combat. After all, if there’s one thing Fight Club taught us, it’s that there’s no problem so great that it can’t be solved by bare-knuckle boxing.

The Weird One

ahem don’t you mean Sweetfreak? :smiley: I am not aware she has any unnatural desire for perspiration :slight_smile: And she’s mine,ALL mine :smiley: Gimme gimme gimme I want her I want her I want her…drags her back from The Weird One

Dear Zev,

Here’s my thinking on the issue:

Killing one, some, or a whole bunch of people is bad. It is fundamentally wrong to kill someone, and doing so causes suffering and tends to perpetuate further violence.

But the sun is not a concious being; it’s a giant chemical reaction, and, in a moral sense, cannot be faulted for any deaths it may cause. Moreover, if everybody died all at once, then no one would be left to mourn or in any way give a shit about what happened. In other words, you can worry about the sun blowing up all you want, but that will not change these two facts:

  1. It’s going to happen anyway.
  2. By the time it happens, you will be long dead and therefore not in a position to care what happens.
    Actually, this ties into one of my other theories, that considering the way things are headed, maybe it wouldn’t be such a bad thing if some maniac triggered a nuclear war that resulted in the total destruction of the human race. But considering the impossibility of guaranteeing of total destruction, and considering that anything less is unacceptable, I guess we’d better just keep working for peace. sigh :frowning:

If you’re really so concerned that human accomplishments must be remembered infinitely, then I recommend you enter the field of rocket science and figure out some way to get us, or at least some record of us, into another galaxy sometime in the next five billion years.

The Weird One

Now, flogging I can deal with.
But being dragged and twisted every which way?
I don’t know, Iceland and The Weird One , I am kind of attached to my limbs. :dubious:
debates stealing my steak knife back, torn between disobeying my Mistress and protecting my own life
:smiley:

OK,we’ll divide her…The Weird One can have the bottom half and I claim the top half :smiley:

:smack: My deepest appologies to Sweetfreak for the misspelling. bows I certainly meant no offense.

Now, hand her over, you knave!! The lady is clearly enamoured of me! :mad:
dazes Iceland_Blue with a bop! to the head, throws Sweetfreak over her shoulder and runs off

:stuck_out_tongue:

Hmmm, maybe this has gone too far . . . .

Dear Abby,
Quite by accident, I recently found that it is intensely pleasurable to press my groin against my bread-maker while it is going through the “knead” cycle. I’m a virile man and in good health, so I find myself using the bread-maker two or three times a day. More on weekends. To get to my problem, do you have any good machine-friendly bread recipes?
Regards,
I KNEAD U

Reading that made my eyes hurt.

Dear Abby

I’ve been stalking this Doper for some time now but she doesn’t seem to be interested.I don’t know what else I can do to show my interest-I’ve found her home address,her home phone number,her mobile.I’ve made several sexual references to her and loitered around her house.And yet it doesn’t seem to be enough-all she’s done is report me to the police and put a restraining order down.
What should I do next to make her aware of my feelings? Perhaps a picture of her in her underwear blown up on a billboard?Maybe write her a letter telling her what I’d like to do to her.She’d get the hint then right?
