DFW (not Dallas)...

[sub]I was hopelessly bored today, having finished my Marie Clare magazine and not having any work to do so I puttered around with this thread. This is based on a comment Strainger made in this thread.

Be kind. I’m a beginner nowhere near the level of the Mighty Scylla or the Great Fenris. Feel free to add improvements![/sub]
International School of DopeFest Whoring.

Tired of the humdrum life you’ve been living? Convinced there’s something more out there for you? Then ask yourself the following questions:[ul]

[li]Do you have what it takes to drink massive quantities of alcohol and still be able to wax profound on gun laws, abortion, and the three words that end in –gry?[/li][li]Can you flirt with people on the Board in dialogue heavily laced with sexual innuendo and then face them at a DopeFest with a smile on your face?[/li][li]Is your understanding of sexual innuendo second only to that of certain exotic dancers, adult magazine publishers, and sex shop owners?[/li][li]Do you understand the words “teabagging”, “felching” and “merkin”?[/ul][/li]

Heh. This number is for the Subaru help desk. As you should all know, subaru is the Japanese name for the constellatation Pleiades. The Pleiades are the seven daughters of Atlas (Maia, Electra, Celaeno, Taygeta, Merope, Alcyone, and Sterope).

Alcyone was, by several accounts, something of a nymph. Electra is considered the mother of the Harpies. Maia was the oldest and most beautiful of the sisters; she so tempted Zeus, he commited marital infidelities with her. Taygeta also so tempted Zeus; she refused his affections and asked Artemis to help her. Artemis turned her into a doe, but even this was not enough to stop Zeus. Her took advatage of her while she was unconscious; this union produced Lacedaemon. Orion, that cad, pursued all seven sisters, and their mother.

Actually, I spelled out “smart ass” and that’s what I came up with.

Typical thread of mine: sinking faster than a lead balloon.

Missed this on the first run around perhaps (ahem) if the thread title had been “DopeFestWhores” classes or something of the sort, ??

And here I have the curriculum all ready for “Punning with ImPUNity”. Sigh.

See?! See?! That’s what I’m talking about! The stupid thread has had 61 view and still a miserably low post count. Typical.

I meant your punning, of course!

You’re being too hard on yourself; that was a very well constructed OP, BunnyGirl. Then again, I may be a little biased.

Now, let’s see if I can add anything.

Hmmm…I’ll have to think of more later.
