Plenty 'o them to go around. :rolleyes: The difference between fame and infamy is completly blurred in this society. Deep Throat the porn movie is probably better known than Deep Throat the source. Paris Hilton is pretty frickin famous. ---

I still wish **knowed out** would come back and explain exactly what “you look like you got a shiny asshole” is supposed to mean. In terms of insults and all. ---

Wear that as a badge of honor if you must (a shiny one, placed … never mind) but don’t overlook the fact that no one is congratulating you for a clever turn of phrase. ---

[Note the sheen on the baboon’s backside.](http://www.abc.net.au/science/news/img/baboon.jpg) I think **Knowed Out** is being a pretty good sport about the way his thread has turned out. Even if his recent posts _have_ got a certain quality of “mating display” about them. 😉 ---

Heavenly rays of light are falling, it’s asshole time Out of the mist your rectum calling, it’s asshole time When purple-colored panties mark the end of day I’ll see your shiny butt at asshole time Deepening shadows gather splendor as day is done Fingers of light will clearly render your gleaming buns I count the moments darling till you’re here with me Together at last at asshole time ---

Having been away from all you lovely folk yesterday, I was attending a day-long conference/tear end party with administrators in the school district where I work. Several of us were gathered talking about someone who was not there, and from across the circle came “oh my god, she’s acts like such a shiny asshole”… Minutes after sneezing the last of the beer out of my nose, I approached the lady that uttered these now famous words to inquire. She looked at me amazed, and said, “holy shit, you’re the bus guy!” She lurks but does not post. I ordered to rectum-fy that situation post-haste as her wit, wisdom and general hot-ness would contribute greatly to this forum. ---

To **askeptic** , **Anaamika** , **Happy Scrappy Hero Pup** , **Portia** & **Bricker** : I can’t understand what you’re saying: my status has been elevated miles above your lowly positions at bottom of the SDMB heirarchy. Your voices sound like quiet, squeaky ants. Because I invented the newest SDMB cliche, I am now a SD VIP, and I will soon be going to Cecil’s private country club to hobnob and sniff brandy with the man himself. Apologize for hating on me and I MIGHT put in a good word for you when a busboy position opens. **Canvas Shoes** : it’s just a variation of “He think’s he shit on a stick,” or “He’s goin’ around showin’ off his ass,” or “He came in here with his ass wide open” what’s time has come. Those of us who add new entries to lexicons the world over are geniuses like that. **mr bus guy** : glad to help. 😃 ---

> [@lieu](#): > > _Your pooter’s so bright, we gotta wear shades._ After not hearing this song for years, they played it on the radio this morning. (Sadly, they did not then proceed to play “Hairstyles and Attitudes”) Now this. Coincidence? Or not! ---

Is it wrong that I mentally applied the phrase “shiny asshole” to the Flintstones theme song? ---
