LOL get out of the dark ages. Straight dope ? more like behind the times dope. No one wants to click on extra links all the time. Make it simple easy and convenient like most modern sites are smart enough to do.

what are you afraid of ? mods can ban or delete if they think something is too crass or what ever

The legend I hear is that someone posted goatse and everyone got the vapors so they disabled it.

By the way welcome to the Straight Dope: In the Dark Ages since 1973.

I don’t care much one way or the other. But I will say that it took me a while to realize that “The Mud Weenies” was not a place or time. I don’t want to be stuck in the Mud Weenies with no way out! Then I realized it was “stuck-in-the-mud weenies,” which is more understandable. In either case, “weenie” is a term we don’t use enough. I love that word. I refer to myself as a weenie all the time. But The Mud Weenies does have a ring to it.

Weenies. Hee hee!

I’m guessing that’s why he’s so big on pictures. Words are hard.

ETA: I hope everyone will remain mature enough to avoid fixating on the unfortunate combination of “hard” and “weenies”. This is a classy joint, y’see.

We’re a retro site, like civil war re-enactors or alternative history buffs. We’re not for everyone.
