> [@tomndebb](#): > > Leaving aside my understanding that _taco de ojo_ translates better to “eye candy,” (although I am sure that someone, somewhere, is making tacos using cow eyes), is it really true that you have a restaurant advertising _tacos de ojos_ named [Lucy](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lucy_of_Syracuse#Legend)’s? Wow, that’s an interesting bit of trivia. For those who didn’t click, St. Lucy is a saint who got her eyes gouged out. The picture looks more like a tostada de ojo, though. OK then, tomorrow it’s eyeball tacos at Lucy’s! ---

Well, if something as innocuous as “buckeyes” can cause such a fiasco, my mind boggles at what might happen were someone to open a thread asking about Brazil nuts… ---

You know… if it hadn’t have been for that Dope thread that started all of this mess, I woulda had no idea what they were talking about in this WebComic Strip today. [You’ll have That.](http://www.yhtcomic.com/2008/12/17/christmasspirit/) So thanks, SD- for fighting my ignorance, even if it takes a few members kicking and screaming across the hot coals of the pit to do so! ---

I went from being initially shocked and appalled by you, to thinking you were kind of cute and clever. I believe I even aligned myself with you in a previous pit thread. Now, I want nothing to do with you. I know, so fucking what? Just letting you know. This thread has gone a strange way and I’m in a bad mood, but that jarsquatter thing has really made me reconsider ever entering the Pit or reading any of your posts ever again. I know, I know…wah, wah, wah, stupid little pussy, we’ll miss your whiny ass. There, nuff said! I’m going to go puke now, most likely. Yes, you’re right. I’m thin-skinned. Boo hoo. Got my panties in a bunch. Run back to mommy. There, I have shamed and insulted my own self. I realize how I’m acting. Carry on! At least I’m not offended by buckeyes (unless I just didn’t watch jarsquatter long enough and he hatched some!) I’m sure that’ll make you happy Auto. The above probably reigned in some other fools who are either laughing at what an easily offended douchebag I am or equally grossed out. Did you want people to check this out? Is that your dad or something? You know what, I changed my mind, I do love the Pit. ---

I don’t usually get squeamish, but I remember how I reacted the first time I saw the lotus boob. Thus, instead of going straight for the youtube toad, I wikid it. Thank fuck for that, I have no desire to see that. **even sven** , we were warned about those flies in Uganda. Around the third week, when everyone had done a couple of rounds of laundry. Yay! Don’t think anyone was used as a fly incubator, but we were rather annoyed when we found out. ---

I’m curious, but not foolishly so. Is it possible to get a minimal description of what one sees by clicking the jarsquatter link? (I thought about clicking it while squinting, but wasn’t sure that would provide enough protection). You can spoiler it as a courtesy to those who are even more cautious than I am. ---

Some freak puts an open ended jar down on the floor. He then proceeds to squat down on top of it, pushing it into his anus. It goes all the way up, then breaks near the base, but I think this was part of the plan, as he begins to squeeze his ass, thereby breaking the glass into shards while it’s still _inside._ Then, lots of blood trickling to the floor. I think he reaches in at points to pull glass shards out, but I turned it off at that point to swoon. ---

**Hazel** , I obviously can’t speak for **Auto** , but perhaps you could try assuming that a link which has the general consensus of being gross, is one that if you click upon it, you take the responsiblity for having done so? I figured that what he was talking about was something I probably didn’t want to see (like 2 girls 1 cup – which I’ve steadfastly NOT seen), but steeled myself against anyway and viewed. It was as reprehensible as you allude to, but I simply have decided that _I_ am the cupable party because I knew there was something wrong, _yet went ahead anyway._ Now I’m not saying that link needed to be present for the SDMB to operate smoothly, but it would be disengenous for me to say that I did anything but ignore the risk when I _chose_ to forge ahead. Everything else is just the way of How Things Can Be (like lotus boob pictures), even on the Dope. 'Cause there’s always links and choices to be made and I’d rather have the option lie with me than with someone else. Ya know? Just sayin’ as you might eventually want to reconsider **Auto** ’s goodliness and one’s own clickability. We’d hate to see the possibility banned or something. 🙂 ---

For the record, I’m not upset at **Hazel**. I was pretty pissed at my friends when I willingly accepted their invitation to watch aforementioned 2girls1cup. Being on the verge of throwing up makes one a tad cranky. If she continues to hate me with a passion days later, then we’ll go from there. I admit I’m laughing over this whole tempest in a teapot (that goes for this thread and its latest plot twist), but I do feel bad that I didn’t break the link. That’s just bad form. > [@faithfool](#): > > Just sayin’ as you might eventually want to reconsider Auto’s goodliness Hey! I’m chaotic good… ---

We’d hate to see the possibility banned or something. 🙂 Did you also catch the parts where I totally reamed myself for feeling the way that I do and ending with “I love the Pit?” Yes, I realize I did click and it’s my own fault. I resisted the 2 girls and a cup thing right up until the idiots at GQ or whatever magazine it was got George Clooney to check it out. No, I don’t have much self control. Yes, I’m weird about what grosses me out. I mentioned in this, or the other thread about the phobia, that the breast lotus thing just made me want to squeeze it until all of the worms or whatever came out and then it’d be good as new like a zit or something. I’m being pretty silly. I know. I think I did a fairly good job of Pitting my own self. I heart the Pit! 😛 😉 🙂 😃 Also Auto+goodliness does not compute; however, he is, in fact chaotic good! ---
