Don’t ask me, I only know how to pick up English girls.
Aw snap!
You need to use oven mitts, they’re so hot!
Lift with your legs, not your back.
I think the problem with most who objected to VCO3’s stuff was the *way * he posted it, seemingly designed to provoke.
I was apoplectic and frothing at some of the over-the-top suggestions as I read the recent thread in GD about the “young skinny black girl being arrested by the big white cop.” I, for one, thought he handled it very well, but shouldn’t have punched her.
I know the rules in GD are different but even the posters who said he should have hit her – and more – after she bit him seemed to be sincere in the convictions of their posts. I didn’t like them, but none of those posters seemed to me to be posting that simply to get a rise – which is what everybody is complaining about in the case at hand.
P.S.: Does anybody have good recipe for bouillabaisse?
Personally, I liked the final comment in that thread. It just struck me funny. I don’t literally laugh out loud at a comment on the board that often (“literally” in this context means “literally,” not “figuratively”), but I did at this one.
And keep those recipes coming. Especially the vindaloo. Yum!
Hey. HEY!
Well. This sucks. Long before this mess, I was thinking of starting a thread about the right a poster should have when his thread is locked to have a last comment in his defense after a mod closes the thread. Now I won’t be able to do it without stirring this shit back. Oh well.
FTR, although the joke was indeed funny and very appropriate, it was rather unprofessional, I think. A mod should not abuse his power, no matter how good the joke he has in mind is.
And hijacking this thread is also very lame. If you don’t like a thread, don’t read it, don’t post. Shitting on it to devalue a valid concern is not very ignorance fighting.
ETA: And f the point of closing that thread was to spare VCO3 of the pot shots while he is not around to defend himslelf, I don’t see how starting a second one makes much sense.
Are you sure it doesn’t mean “physically”?
I’ve enjoyed reading the fiasco this has turned into, and I kinda agree that VCO needs a slap upside the head on account of his career as a general offender of trollish dickery here, but am I the only one besides monstro in all this who remembered that VCO claimed to be married … to a “fine-ass woman” no less? I just thought I’d add that if I didn’t already have enough reasons to pity the woman supposedly married to him, then I now have one more: he ogles other women and then has some sort of deluded pride in sharing the fact with others. The sort of “dude look at that chick” or “dude I saw this chick” kinda guy who goes around doing this are generally douches to begin with; men who insist on sharing their impulses seem to be under the impression that nobody else has a sex drive as developed as theirs and that they’re doing some kind of favour by letting everyone know where the hot women are, as if other guys need to be told. The ones who are married that engage in this are the worst kind, and I have literally walked away from chats with married guys who start the “dude look at that girl” schtick. Tip to men who do this: don’t.
I never got the chance to congratulate VCO for thinking with his third leg so much that it got him suspended. I wonder if someday it’ll get him in trouble with his “fine-ass” wife too. I can’t say I really wanted to see him “witch hunted”, but he still needs to wake up and grow up. He’s not an idiot, he’s just grossly out of touch with the concept of social tact. Only time will tell if the suspension will snap him out of his perpetual state of maladjustment on the board and convince him that he needs to find a more congenial way to express himself. I hope he can.
Are you implying that married men should no longer appreciate the aesthetics of the female form? If so, you could not be more wrong. Sometimes, we might even comment when more than one notices, or if one notices something truly outstanding that his friend is missing, it is OK to alert the other. That said, it should be done discreetly, and not in mixed company.
If not, well, then…ooh look, a kitten.
Not at all. In fact, I was trying to suggest I probably notice them before the guys who feel obligated to talk about noticing them and I don’t need the obvious reiterated to me. In the words of Al Pacino’s Lieutenant Colonel Frank Slade: “the day we stop looking is the day we die”. Looking in admiration and talking like a frat boy about a hot piece of ass, however, are two very different things.
Precisely. “Discreetly” being the key word, lest you look like a moron in said mixed company. That’s the thing about VCO, he doesn’t seem to recognize when he’s in mixed company, and doesn’t seem to understand when he’s committing a faux pas.
Ooh, where?
I actually have had Jungle Fever. I had to take a big dose of antimalarials to clear it up.
My girlfriend is an extraterrestrial alien from Mars. Does that mean I have Green Fever?
To be honest, part of me feels bad for calling him a racist and pushing him to go the “No, I really do like black people!” route. I wonder if I didn’t play a part in this. To that end, I hereby officially withdraw my Pitting for (a) lack of evidence that he really is a racist (more like, casually ignorant but with a big ol’ mouth) and (b) the weight it carries relative to its actual merit.
No thanks. I have no idea what you’re talking about, but I suspect it’s some kind of unwarranted linguistic pedantry.
While we’re on the topic of linguistic pedantry, how fucking hard is it to type VCO3?

I agree. The original post in this thread appears to have been made in good faith.
