Apparently the Spanish Inquisition is forcing a ring up her foreskin with a buckeye.

I just realized something else we need to make this thread complete–a newbie coming in and saying “I don’t understand these jokes. Would someone please explain them all to me?”

I missed the old thread several years ago, but it blew my mind reading it now. What a damned shame! You’d have thought that in 33 years of life, someone, somewhere would have given that poor woman a name! What the hell was her mother thinking? No wonder **techchick** was so upset. Man! That’s just so freaking sad! ☹

Yes, I’m thinking something along the lines of [Honszlynn Hinnler](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?t=497840) would have made a lovely moniker.

Since **Buckeye** entered into the fun I’m willing to give up that semi-banned statement. I promise to never use that old and tired 2003-ish meme about lists. I’ll copy those wise posters above me. I heartily endorse the new!

1. I like trees.
2. I like Ohio.
3. Hi Buckeye.

I wonder how Opal feels about buck teeth? Now, there’s an idea…a buck teeth necklace on which to hang her lovely ring!

By the way, I was in Ohio once. In 1961. For 20 minutes.

While there, I witnessed those 1960s-style “tree nuts”.

I like the way you think, but I’m too cheap to pop for the postage.

I think if I drizzle melted white chocolate around the outer edge of where the peanut butter part shows, and then splash red food coloring on the white choc, we might have something. Too bad about the ice storm, otherwise I’d go to the store and get the stuff, make them, and post pics here.

Maybe I’ve got too much time on my hands. 😃

**catsix** –I’ll start a new tradition. Buckeyes on New Year’s Day. Hey! I could combine them with First Footing. That’s what America is all about: melding the old and the new…

That’s genius! They will be little bloodshot buckeyes! Then you will have to put photos all over the web. Make sure to give credit where credit is due, however, and specify that they were inspired by **OpalCat**. 🙂
