> [@duffer](#): > > However, in the upper midwest we still have some sense of “family values”, as quaint as that may sound to some of you. For once I don’t find family values quaint at all. The whole thing was barbaric. Every aspect. These assholes were shipping women in to give them blowjobs as some kind of bonding experience. Terrifying young girls who had nowhere to escape to. Screaming at the crew. Peeing in unison on people’s lawns. Fuck them all. I’m glad they’re publicly humiliated. If being a total shithead animal is now officially normal behavior than I’ll be pleased to be called a Puritan. Bring out the stocks. ---

Am I the only one who thinks that it’s probably a bad idea, in principle, for men to be fellated on boats? One sudden onset of “chop,” and one could end up filleted, in one big unintended “chomp”… well, you get the idea. :eek: It wouldn’t be a picnic for the blow-job-giver, either. Hey, it happened in a novel, The World According to Garp. Only that was a car crash. Same guiding logic applies, though. ---

Dammit! **Elucidator** already made the Loki joke! Oh well, maybe it’ll take the pressure off of the Cowboys on King of the Hill. > [@](#): > > Dallas? … That place is crawlin’ with crack-heads and debutantes, and half of 'em play for the Cowboys. However, I do to a point agree with **uglybeech**. If I was working in a non oldest profession in the world sense on the boat, just one of the girls who was regular crew, I’d have freaked out. At least on land you can leave (in theory). I’ll have to ask Dad & the family in Duluth for their take on it. The Vikings are doing better than the Texans at least. Why do the teams I like suck so much? Bastages! [Previous page](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/love-boat-incident-like-what-century-is-this-again/327305.md?page=1)
