Although it would fit in this thread nicely, I think my corn on the knob joke is just a little too grody to post. No really. You’ll thank me if I don’t. ---

Anyone who thinks that “turdburglar” refers to homosexuals is clearly a homophobe, as they assume that all homosexuals are also into fecalphelia. ---

Too much information. Way, way too much information. But that pretty much clinches it. **Minty** , you know I’m inclined to be sympathetic. Nonetheless, if you called **Doghouse** a _turdburglar_, especially in the rarified setting of GD, an apology is in order. And some penance as well. A couple more days living in Dallas ought to about cover that. This thread didn’t hijack. It metastasized. Some of you people are just plain abnormal. ---

I am quite confident that I have never called that asshat a turdburglar, in GD or anywhere else. ---

Our wise sage of a brother, **Eternal** diverted this thread into it’s current state by flinging this pet name at our statesmanlike colleage, **Doghouse Reilly**. It was flung cleanly over **minty’s** head. ---

My girlfriend? Total bonesmuggler. Can’t keep her hands off it. The reason no one in this thread knew that “turdburglar” is a homophobic slur is because it’s **NOT.** ---
