The body of long-time Santa Fe antiquities/curios dealer Sean O’Malley was found in a field near Belen, NM, this weekend, a victim of an apparent execution-style gunshot wound to the back of the head. Authorities are investigating the murder as drug-related violence, and are following leads that O’Malley was successfully smuggling shipments of cocaine hidden in his antiques, angering rival cartels. The location of the body, found in a flooded rice field adjacent to the Rio Grande is thought to be a message to other Albuquerque cartels. It would. . .
serve as New Mexico’s first knick-knack paddy whack in recent history.

This was performed live, at a staff meeting, yesterday.
I’ve restored the thread name to remove the giant “no rape joke” warning. This is not a change of policy. Rape jokes are still not allowed. But i added a mod note at the start, and i hope the regulars have figured that out by now.
Further moderating:
It’s been observed that a lot of posts, including these
and several earlier ones, are all about “rape jokes”. I hope you’ve all gotten that out of your system. Some people would like to enjoy a light-hearted joke thread without having rape be the topic du jour, and in this thread, we’d like to accommodate them. I am hereby requesting that the topic be dropped, and this thread can return to it’s usual funny ways.
Thanks, everyone.
(and if that really bothers you, please DM me, and don’t bring it up here.)
What gets me is that you popped Prof. Pepperwinkle, who I consider one of the most respectable people here. Then you changed the thread title and made us all look like horrible perverts. All we wanted in the first place was what you’re calling for now. I have zero respect for you as a result.
Still, it makes me wonder which racial/ethnic/religious/national groups are OK to make jokes about, and which aren’t. Saint Patrick’s Day is coming up…
A husband and wife in Michigan in the middle of February are excited to be going on vacation to Florida and escape the snow and bitter cold for a week. But at the last minute a work emergency pops up for the wife, so she has to reschedule her flight for the following day. She tells her husband not to worry, no need to spend the extra money on 2 flight reschedulings, so go on ahead, she says, and she will join him the next day.
The husband gets to their hotel in Florida, sits down in a lounge chair on the beach, and enjoys the great weather–it’s sunny and in the upper 80s. After a couple margaritas, he decides to text his wife. But he lost his phone on the way down, had to buy a new one, and can’t quite remember his wife’s number. That plus the two margaritas causes him to input the number wrong, and the text goes to a grieving widow who’s husband just died.
“Hey, my wonderful wife, just got down here and I’m settling in. Lost my phone on the way down so you’ll see an unfamiliar number, but it’s me. Whoah, it’s even hotter down here than I’d heard! I’m already starting to burn. Can’t wait to see you when you arrive tomorrow.”
That will be a warning to @Knowed_Out , for hostility to the staff and for continuing to argue moderation after previously being reminded that this is not the place for that.
One again, you are free to make respectful complaints about moderation in the ATMB forum. That includes complaints about title changes for threads if they rub you the wrong way. But it is never permissible to complain about moderation within a thread.
As previously stated, those who are making backhanded jokes about the ‘no rape jokes’ language previously included in the thread title need to air your grievances in ATMB or via a PM to a moderator. They should be kept out of this thread. Those who continue to make indirect rape references will receive Warnings.
