Oh shut up, you whiney twat.
I invented my own new kind of colander. See, what I did was, I took an ordinary colander and filled in all the holes. It took a while, but I think the result is worth it.
I call it a “bowl”.
I’m sorry, but you lose points for effort. You and your absurd “bowl” are just going to have to leave. Bowl. Who the fuck needs a bowl when they have a beautiful colander? There’s beauty in sieving, and in sieving, beauty.
Link? I’d like to point and laugh.
The Africa business starts in post 1178 in this thread.
Ah, found it. "Some ladies hear alarm bells when they hear “Africa”.
then later…
"Unless you’re into the peace-corps granola-crunching type, I wouldn’t say “Africa”. Obviously, YMMV. When I hear “Africa”, I hear “Nigeria, Zimbabwe, AIDS”. I do not instantly think of South Africa or Egypt, which are two countries I look forward to visiting. "
Then it gets better from there.
I think this the first time I’ve ever read “finna” on the StraightDope in just regular conversation.
Both Martin Luther King Jr. and Malcolm X are both throwing a party in their graves.
Jesus – I guess Lindsay never realized that money doesn’t necessarily equal class.
:eek: Wow - I missed that gem the first time around.
Good thing lindsay isn’t in Canada - breast feeding is legal everywhere. Coffee shops, churches, public parkways, shopping malls. As a breast feeding mother I make sure to take full advantage of the fact and whip my tits out at every opportunity, even if I’m not going to nurse Junior. Hey - I have a baby with me -prove I wasn’t about to feed him![sup]*[/sup]
If that gives lindsay the vapours - well, too damn bad.
*For the humour impaired, that was a joke. Well, not the nursing in public being legal in Canada part - the me whipping my tits out part.
What kind of a first name is Both?
Wow, classy. If you’re planning on going into the health care field, it’s always helpful if you completely discredit peoples serious medical problems.
For that matter, it’s nice that your parents passed on a contempt for mental health issues - they must be some really stellar doctors.
I have a feeling lindsays head would explode if presented with the idea of living in Canada, given that she is against universal health care and any other social safety net. She can take care of herself:
It makes sense, since she’s never taken anything from anyone else, right? Well, except for all her tuition, living expenses, and car. But other than that she’s totally self sufficient.
Had I known that I risked being shunned by the likes of lindsaybluth sipping her latte (that her parents paid for), I’d have whipped out my boob more often!
Boobs against boobs!
This needs to be on a T-shirt, stat!
I can do that. You see, I have loads of T-shirts. Three T-shirts even. 
Dang it, how did I miss that in my following lindsay around the board?
jsgoddess, don’t be too swift to reject RobotArm and his bowl ideas. Maybe he’ll become a self-made millionaire selling them and we’ll have another rags-to-riches story of our very own.
Proof of my opulence:
So what? I have three sweatshirts. Top that!

Precisely. I don’t have the time or the energy to follow anybody around the boards, but lindsay and I do end up in some of the same threads like the minirant breastfeeding debacle in which she incorrectly went off on Lavender Blue about how breastfeeding clearly is enough of a problem for some [states] to outrule it entirely (2nd cite). /QUOTE]
Actually you obviously DO follow me around if you’re bringing up shit yet again, in a thread that’s turned to a fun colander vs bowl controversy. Is there absolutely no end to your idiocy? Did you ever learn what irony is, by the way? I like how you don’t quote what I say, but rather link to it and espouse your moronic opinions. I’m starting to wonder if you and LavenderBlue are related because it’s the second time you’ve brought something up that I’ve said to her, and we already established that IvoryTower started hating me when her I said something to her husband and her widdle feewings got hurted. Here I was, having what I thought to be a nice conversation with her about Passover food in another thread when in reality she just wanted me to eat shit and die. Oh well!
Here’s what I said in the 2nd post, after Lavender brought up legality as a basis for it being a-okay:
ZOMG! I think breastfeeding should be socially SHUNNED! But apparently lorene is fine with laws against gay marriage and gay relationships - because she has TEH LAW on her side (in some states)! Here’s an article where Virginia law only protects the right on state owned property - not a Starbucks in the previous thread. People have been cited and fined for breastfeeding in public. Then, from the International breastfeeding journal, “One reason that rates are so high initially and then plummet almost immediately when it comes to exclusivity and duration is because most women are not comfortable breastfeeding in public because the public is not comfortable seeing them breastfeed.” Of course then it goes on to explain how we’re all Neanderthals and should be more accepting but at the bare minimum it acknowledges that people are uncomfortable with public breastfeeding.
Wait wait wait now…I was saying that a lot of women fear traveling to Africa. I did not say I was one of them. One of my best friends is in Mauritius as we speak, working in an AIDS clinic. But every time I’ve told another girl about my friend in Mauritius, they recoil in horror.
Meyer6, I was an intern for Obama’s campaign. Perhaps you missed that :rolleyes:. I figure that earns me at least a cookie round here.

ETA: Has anyone thought of using a power drill to make their own colander yet?
You sweat? If you had access to a network of doctors, someone could have fixed that by now.
How nouveau opulent of you to brag about a plastic colander.
