You just can’t get away with chanting, “This is my rifle, this is my gun…” at an airport anymore. ---

> [@The\_Scrivener](#): > > :eek: You wouldn’t happen to be a member of Motley Crue, by any chance? 😉 That reminds me of a Doper who tried to pull the “Do you know who I am” in a music thread because I disagreed with him. I so wanted to post “No, unless you plan on telling me,” but it had been too long. (And the rest of my post was close to a pitting.) ---

I love the term junk for guy junk. It’s kind of playful and can be used in circumstances where dick or cock n’ balls or anything like is too brash. ---

I was pretty sure it was coined by Opie and Anthony to get it past the censors on radio. ---

I don’t think it’s silly! I don’t appreciate the term “junk” in reference to this and I don’t like “uglies” (like “bumping uglies”) either. Sure it’s slang. But the point is it should not be! Hey, where’s the devil with the horns smilie? ---
