Lol. Yeah, very glad I know now. I can laugh when my friends make fun of me now, and actually know what they are saying…sigh
First of all, BNB, males don’t sit when they take a piss, so there is no danger of them dippng their hand in toilet water. But if you dipped your hand in toilet water, and you sound like you talk from experience, hey, by all means, wash up.
Second, public male restrooms have urinals and there is no provision for a toilet paper role next to them, so even if they wiped their dick at home they really couldn’t at public restroom.
Third, Hi Opal
Well, you’re not, like, eating or shaking hands with your, um, vulva, right? 
We’re also not doing things like that with our penises (penes? penii?). It’s tucked away in our undies, safe and secure and separated from the rest of the world and our food by at least two layers of textiles (for most people, anyway). I don’t see any reason, other than some extreme obsessive/compulsive behavior, to get upset about a little tiny film of urine that will be washed off by the time we go to bed.
YMMV, though…the only reason I can see a woman being grossed out by it is if she’s picturing her boyfriend/husband/lover getting intimate while he still has urine molecules on his parts. I’d just say to tell him to shower first…

Nonononono…The All your base are belong to us is from a video game called Zero Wing that was in arcades and ported to the Genesis.
whoops, missed the other reply with this on it.
Yep, you’re exactly right…it looks like an equals-sign because it IS an equals-sign. You know, equality, g/l/b/t etc. rights…that kind of thing. I get one in the mail about every other month if you want one.
(Oh yeah…yes, that IS the HRCF.)
Well, in football, the ‘flying wedge’ I was referring to was once a popular formation that has since been banned.
In the good ‘ol days, back when things that were fun weren’t legislated to death by pansy-assed do-gooders, the formation involved utilizing four or more players and having them interlock their arms together –forming a large ‘V’ or ‘wedge’- and running like mad down the field, decapitating anyone in their way. Nestled within this ‘V’ or wedge, is the ball carrier, relatively protected.
All in all it’s a pretty cool play, if you ask me. And pretty effective, if you ask the unlucky few that happened to be killed as a result of it. And that, unfortunately, was the reason the NFL decided to ban the maneuver- too many dead guys as a result of being close-lined and/or otherwise trampled to death.
Today, you can still run a ‘wedge’ type play, or a screen that resembles a wedge, but you can’t interlock your arms together, forming the infamous ‘flying wedge’ formation.
Damn it all…
That should be clothes-lined up there.

What does YMMV mean?
I’m really bad at acronyms. It took me forever and a day to figure out LOL. shakes head sadly
I feel like such a throwback.

YMMV and more! <click here>
Who is Jack Chick and why will people call certain posters the “Jack Chick of [subject]”?
Jack Chick is the person behind such enlightenling tracts as this one, which deals with evolution. In almost all of the tracts, you’re going to hell unless you see things his way. The person being talked to will suddenly renounce his/her sins in a matter of seconds after hearing just one Bible story and convert to Christianity. Check out these threads for more:
It’s evolution or it’s Jesus Janet
And the most current thread, in which Jack Chick explains why there’s so much turmoil in the middle east. Farther down that thread, you’ll find links to other Jack Chick bon mots, from the evils of being homosexual to Rock and Roll (even Christian rock) being a tool of the Devil.
He publishes books and comic strips for Christians (of the fundamentalist Protestant variety). They are generally so filled with lies and ignorance that anyone who speaks in a likewise tone (heavy on the ignorance and self-righteousness) is labeled the “Jack Chick of [subject].”
I don’t live in Massachusetts, but if I did, I might rather see him spend his time in Washington than driving off local bridges.
[sub]Sorry, I’m not really that political. Though the Art Buchwald column “What to Say about Watergate”, with every fifth response being “What About Chappaquiddick?” was hilarious.[/sub]
Isn’t this a bit personal to request?
[sub]Great, as if seeing sexual “dry spells” and “dry humping” wasn’t bad enough[/sub]
I know pretty much what SOL means, but I’ve never figured out what it stands for.
[sub]Anyone?[/sub]
Satellite of Love…oh, wait…you mean the meaning among normal people…
Shit Out of Luck.
And for those of you confused by culinary acronyms, SOS means Shit On a Shingle (creamed chipped/ground beef on toast).
jayjay
SOL is, I believe, Soldier Out of Luck, which means basically “oh well, tough luck”.
Ah, jayjay, I learn something every day!
This “eh” i keep seeing being attributed to Canadians… what is it? Is it a question thing? I mean, is it pronounced with a rising tone, as in a question… eh? Or is it a random sound tacked on to the end of the sentence? Forgive my simple English ways.
Fran
If the sentence was a quesiton, then kinda. It’s just a word, and it is actually pronouced ‘ay’, err, I can’t think of a better way to pronounce it. But just watch This Hour has 22 Minutes and you should hear it a couple times. Or Royal Canadian Airforce, for that matter.
