That’s a pretty good visual. Esprix, you’ve mentioned changing your sig – may I suggest “According to Hamadryad, I’m the shit bomb man”.
Fenris - Emma. Definitely Emma.
So why do you insist some people shouldn’t post to some threads that you arbitrarily decide they shouldn’t because you’re too insanely stupid to think of a reason, any reason at all? Sounds like hiding to me.
Since you seem to know so much about me (since, after all, I’m gay, and that seems to be enough for you to know), perhaps you missed the fact that I find myself sexually attracted to Sophia Loren and Jeri Ryan. Ooo, shock of all shocks, eh? So when speaking of breasts, Jeri Ryan’s as Seven of Nine on Star Trek: Voyager are stupendous, if I do say so myself.
OK, so disagreeing with you makes us “brittle,” but you seem to have glossed over the fact that every single person posting to this thread has disagreed with you. That’s an awful lot of “brittle” people in the world. Perhaps it’s time for you to realize that “there is nowhere to go in this society where you won’t find someone who can’t agree with you.”
Of course not, you vapid neaderfuck. You can’t even read other people’s posts correctly, let alone get the sublime humor in them (that’s mocking you, by the way, which you seemed to have missed).
I submit the title of this thread should be changed to, “Why, yes, actually, I am a homophobe, and…” which of course is three too many periods, making it one too many elipses.
Esprix
Mouthbreather, you owe me a keyboard! And it’s one of those great ergonomic ones everybody hates but me.
I’ve seen Mistress Dryads words twisted, but never like that!
Esprix, no comment on the sig line change?
:: a door at the back of the pit/ abattoir opens and an aged…uh,ageless janitor appears, kicking a mop bucket in and carrying a broom and dust pan, muttering to himself::
"Well, I’m gonna assume this is just about over and start cleaning this carnage up. This is one of the worst cases of assisted suicide I’ve seen since I was promoted from newbie to janitor. I don’t mind sweeping up the cartridge cases and pulling the scimitars out of the corpses, but it’s a good thing I was brought up on the farm and watched my fair share of hog butchering or these entrails splattered everywhere would get to me.
I kinda feel sorry for that Richamacallum kid. Grandma said pride goeth before a fall, but I guess this guy was from the ‘never explain, never apologize’ school.
I wonder if he is indeed a closet fag. Was, that is. I guess we’ll never know, unless he comes back in another incarnation and fesses up. That reminds me, I got to go check out this breast thread everybody was so up in arms about.
Oh well, there won’t be any pictures anyways. I can always go to Tequila M’s website and see if she’s got anything new up.
Damn, this kid’s foot is still in his mouth almost up to his knee. And he’s bit down so hard I can’t pull it out. I’m gonna have to go all the way back down the hall and get me a hacksaw.
GODDAMN STUPID KID!
I am so digusted and insulted by the OP’s original premise that I’m gonna jump ship.
Thanks to you Rich, there’s one more bisexual female who would not otherwise have identified as gay, much less “flaunted” it…
Count me in for half of the rainbow flag, cos according to people like Rich, us bisexual people aren’t even worthy of their contempt or anger.
fuckdrop
Ya know, hardly any threads actually pertain to me, but that never stops me from chiming in.
You might want to go back and read the OP.
No where but nowhere in his OP did Mnem refer to FEMALE breasts - as usual, when you assume you make an ass of both you and me…
**Rich G7subs wrote (at sometime or another):
WHY DO SOME GAY MEMBERS OF THIS BOARD SEEM TO RESPOND, REPEATEDLY,TO POSTS THAT WOULD APPEAR TO HOLD LITTLE INTEREST FOR THEM?**
Rich, dear, what makes you so sure that we’re NOT interested in breasts, female or otherwise? Just because I’m a gay man doesn’t mean I’m totally oblivious to the female form. I can look at a woman and “hey that’s nice.” Can you look at various well-built men and appreciate their form, without necessarily wanting them sexually?
Because if not, you’ve just narrowed down the world to very strict categories. Stop thinking in terms of strict black/white thinking and realize there’s more to this world than “gay men can only think about other men and nothing else.”
This is The Straight Dope Message Board and our motto is “fighting ignorance!” Well consider ignorance fought; you’ve just learned that gay man can look at females and say “hey, that’s nice!”
Now, what’s the next piece of stupidity you’re going to utter?
Just a word of support for the “brittle people”
BRIEF timeout here. I think we need to take a look at Rich’s last post. While all of his previous posts in this thread are a bit, um, dense; I think the last one has a lot of merit. I don’t expect to see him in here again, but I would like a bit more clarification on his “from a social angle” comment. I think its a step in the right direction, but would like to know why it doesn’t make sense “from a political angle”, or "from an economic angle, or “from a religious angle”, etc.
And I also have to commend Esprix on his various responses here. Very poignant and thought out. He also earns several points for reference to Jeri Ryan’s breasts.
I now return you to your regularly scheduled rant.
Thanks for the kind words, Fenris!
Agreed. Just because I am not sexually attracted to women does not mean that I can’t appreciate feminine beauty. I’m gay, I’m not blind! Not to mewtion, much of gay culture is infused with our love, nay adoration, of our divas, like Liza Minnelli, Judy Garland, Joan Crawford, and Madonna. I’m gay, and I love women; I just have no desire to get nekkid with them. Doesn’t mean I cant’t enjoy women aesthetically. After all, who do you think has painted, sculpted, and photographed the most sexually tantalizing representatations of women? Gay men! (BTW, my vote is for Diana Rigg-RROWWRR!)
Of course they are, it’s the Borg Anti-Gravity Struts[sup]TM[/sup] - one of the many advantages of nano-technology…
There are relatively few members of SDMB gay or straight that can’t find something of interest in a particular topic even if it’s not within their immediate area of expertise. That’s really the whole point (in a way) of this message board and to get exercised about it is point(less).
I’d just like to second the notion that Jeri Ryan’s breasts are superb!
One should not allow their quality to stop one from gawking at her delectable ass though.
I would just like to thank all of the brittle people who made this thread possible.
My laugh lines wouldn’t be the same without you.
mmmm…peanut brittle
I was shocked and saddened by the spectacle that greeted me when I stopped into what I assumed from the OP would be just another heartfelt plea from a besieged Christian to end the ongoing assault on the Straight White Male[sup]®[/sup].
You should all be ashamed of yourselves. Ashamed!
Can’t you see the pain Rich is in? Please: put yourselves in his place.
There you are, a middle aged virgin, surrounded—yes, even in the protected environment you’ve managed to create for yourself living in your mother’s basement, surrounded—assaulted—constantly—by thoughts and images of male homosexuality. They’re everywhere: in the exercise magazines you buy (for the articles); even in the sacred sphere of sports (especially your favorite: wrestling!). As you try to sit peacefully against the urge to rock yourself violently forward and back, forward and back, you try to close your eyes and focus on something good, something pure.
You think of *Jesus.
Jesus, who loves you, no matter what everyone else thinks of you. He loves you so much He died for you. At the age of 33! Imagine! At the peak of His physical perfection—that point at which a man’s body is solidly a man’s body; with no hint of that succulent boyish softness; just sinewy masculine strength! Jesus gave that up for you. He allowed those brawny Roman soldiers, clad only in leather skirts and clanging metal, to strip His holy body naked and bind Him to the cross. You imagine yourself to be Jesus: naked, sweat welling in the burning sun, Your arms and legs tied—No! You shudder deliciously, not tied, nailed! Nailed!—totally immobilized. And a soldier approaches: is that a whip in his hand? . . .*
Wait. Think about something else. *The little girl next door. No; you promised the judge. Try harder. The Internet! The Straight Dope Message Board! (Straight!) Here’s a good one: Breasts. Yes: read about breasts; think about breasts; talk about breasts (but not out loud, alone here in the basement). Breasts, breasts, breasts. Bress. Bress bress? Bress! Bress bress brbrbrbrbrbrbressesses! sub[/sub] NO! Breasts! . . . OK. Fine. Breasts. Good. Manboobs. Wha!?!? *
Do you see now, matt, the private universe of internal torture you so forcefully penetrated? Now Rich may have to go through those Exodus International workshops all over again. Or the exorcism the new, young minister is trying to talk him into. And he certainly wouldn’t want it to come to that: who knows what’s likely to happen, when the demons are unleashed, and he’s unable to control them, alone with the new, young minister? *I wonder if we could do it here, at home; I haven’t left this basement for years . . . *
Oh my…lissner you are so going to hell. I’ll be with you laughing my ass off for that bit.
And yea, this is a board. People can post whatever they want, and in MPSIMS the topics quickly go off on tangents so the minor man boobs comment is nothing compared to normal. Why would it have interest? I don’t know. I’m also clueless as to why anyone would pay any attention to anything I post. And yet, I’ve even started threads that people have responded to! (Mystified me too.) People are people and respond to whatever strikes their fancy. They don’t do it to annoy you any more than I mention my SO’s great ass to make people jealous. (And my SO has a great ass. And he’s bi. I love bi guys.)
I digress, I mention random thoughts because they come form me and I have the freedom to impress them on all of you! MWAHAHAHA!!! And you are free to ignore them. Or haul them to the Pit and get laughed at.
I’m a terrible typist and I don’t preview half often enough.
lissener, please forgive the absence of that e. And the rest of you please forgive the rest of my mistakes. I’m going to go screw up my statics grade now. I’ve made enough typos here today, my work is done.
