I think this thread just goes to show that I either managed to get onto everyone’s ignore lists in a very short amount of time or no one here appreciates cheesecake in the same manner that I do. Either way I am a sad kitten that my cheesecake goes unnoticed. ☹ > [@Covered\_In\_Bees](#): > > Can we go back to talking about banging **[hot](http://pix.motivatedphotos.com/2008/6/21/633496345923873040-hot-redheads.jpg)** **[redheads](http://i66.photobucket.com/albums/h245/atlantacyclist8/DagmarMidcap1.jpg)**? > > I’d like to offer **[Exhibit 1](http://oh-snap.us/wp-content/uploads/2009/01/alyson-hannigan.jpg)**, **[Exhibit 2](http://lios.apana.org.au/~mkaree/kari_byron_shark_bikini.jpg)**, and **[Exhibit 3](http://i59.photobucket.com/albums/g316/PurpleLava/06-kari_byron_shark_bikini_radio_sm.jpg)** as to why we should go back to talking about them. > > All opposed? ---

Actually, there is quite a cultural distinction between male and female pimps (mackerel). There is the whole Madame, and Mama-San , Butch (Dyke) Vig, matriarchal prostitute, Feminist sexworker phenomenon, that perpetuates the market. Guys just get a bad rap… How could I not find her most sexually potent, delicate, feminine, and above all, the most beautiful? ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > The bit about how REAL Wiccans are all secret-like and “oathbound.” Suuuuure. Do you have ID cards or an international registry? Most, though not all, of the details of ritual practices of British Traditional Wicca are oathbound. I don’t see why you think ID cards or registry have anything to do with passing traditions down in a limited private fashion. ---

Oathbound? What is this, the Hyborian Age? Are we going to be sieging Castle Greyskull or something? Do I need to find the Sacred Amulet of Sinbad to join this discussion? ---

I genuine feel nearly the exact opposite (“redheads” and “exhibit 1” are attractive, “hot” and “exhibit 3” are meh, and “exhibit 2” at least seems a little better than “exhibit 3”). Though I don’t know if I’d use the exact word “hot” for these photos. But whatever. ---

Yes. I just like the one photo a little better. Though I’m not really that into either. ---

I see that some of you are beyond saving if the general feeling of those pics is “meh”. I can understand the Kari pics being called meh, as they aren’t the most flattering of pictures, but the rest, come on! 😕 ---

> [@RickJay](#): > > So it’s like Scientology but without the celebrities? Well, not really, as in Scientology you get the “secrets” (which are available across the internet, Lord Xenu and all) in exchange for paying the Church of Scientology absurd amounts of money. This is not the case in Wicca- priest and priestesses aren’t supposed to charge for training and initiation (although I’d hazard a guess and say they’re probably allowed to ask the initiate to help cover materials costs, but that bit is only a guess) or for participation in events. ---
