Talk's cheap, Snow Dog! :2hands: Hugs, Conner

Too much information? You've not been known to overload so quickly, Snow Dog, especially from anything emanating from the Rainbow side of the forum. Mark will be disappointed in both you and Sharon. I can certainly understand someone saying, to quote Brad, "I just need a f**king minute here!" But avoiding the tissue altogether is quite unraveling, cat or no cat! Hugs, Conner

I come before you all very humbly...my little blue hat in hand. My first reaction to this thread was "Spare me!" This subject had to be beneath me....as it were. But, alas, it is not. I definitely have an over the top ...uhh...orientation. I mean, all the finer hotels do it that way so they can make those silly little arrow shapes. Even here in Canada it's done that way...and I have been to some of the finer igloos in this country, eh. Now, the real reason for me posting...I have another question that has an anal element... after a bowel movement, do look in the bowel before flushing? I always do. Must be a behaviour left over from potty training. I can't believe I'm posting this! :wacko: Hugs, Conner

Have one fine B-day, Val! Hugs, Conner

I don't worry about what other people think of me because, for the most part, they're not. Hugs, Conner

Hey James, Not wanting to be facetious around a serious medical condition, BUT... You may now be able to access medical marijuana, as it is used to treat glaucoma. There is still debate going on as to its effectiveness in reducing intraocular pressure, but apparently users really don't give a shit. One of the side effects listed is euphoria. Duh! If you can't get the "pill" form containing synthetic THC, you'll have to smoke about 12 joints a day. It's gonna be pretty cloudy around your place. Hugs, Conner

This joke is definirely not PC but I believe my American friends will enjoy it AP Wire Services... The French Government announced yesterday that it had raised its terror alert level from "run" to "hide." The only two higher levels in France are "surrender" and "collaborate." The increased alert was precipitated by a recent fire that destroyed the French white flag factory, effectively disabling their military. Hugs, Conner

What would we do without the net? I found a site that describes nine, that's 9, different types of dick piercings. Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Ouch! Male Genitals Ampallang Through the cockhead horizontally, crossing the urethra. Heals slowly. An account of traditional ampallang piercings is in the Sourcesheet. Apadrayva Through the cockhead vertically, crossing the urethra. Heals slowly. Dydo, Dydoe Through the ridge of the cockhead, parallel to the shaft, normally at the sides. Heals slowly and can tear. (ouch, again) Foreskin Can be pierced on one side, or on both, enabling a ring to pass through both piercings and close off the dick -- this is known as infibulation. Heals moderately fast. Frenum Through the web of skin that attaches the foreskin to the cockhead. Heals moderately fast; heavy jewellery not recommended. Guiche Through the base of the scrotum, between the legs. Can be a tricky healer, especially for cyclists. Hafada Any piercing through the main body of the scrotum; often just to one side over one of the balls. Heals moderately slowly. Lorum Horizontally through the skin where the scrotum joins the root of the cock, or throught the skin on the underside of the cock. Heals moderately slowly. Prince Albert (PA, Albert) Into the urethra from outside the cockhead, either above or more commonly underneath to facilitate the wearing of a ring on the end of the cock. So called because Victorian gentlemen, including the eponymous Prince, were said to wear them so they could fix their dicks down inside their trousers. Fast healer and the most popular male genital piercing. Pubic Through the area above the cock. Heals moderately slowly. Hugs, Conner P.S. My favourite (description, that is - none of this shit for me) is the Prince Albert...seems he had trouble keeping his dick in his pants. P.P.S. - seeing that Mark is indisposed I looked up the word eponymous - it means "of, relating to, or being the person for whom something is or is believed to be named." Edit: Make that ten, that's 10. I must have been having an anxiety thing going.

Zippy Gorillaface. I feel some abuse coming on. Hugs, Conner

Anytime an opportunity presents itself to poke Mark...with my light sabre, it's going to be a good day. I get an extra allotment of jellybeans. Everyone is drawn to the Back Side...uhhh, I mean Dark Side. That is the very nature of this insidious cosmic phenomenon. We of the Order of the Rainbow are no exception. I am tempted daily. It's not such a bad thing, 'cause then I get to rub my rainbow. :wacko: Hugs, Conner

Rosie O"Donnell and her spouse and family arrived in Halifax, Nova Scotia yesterday with a whole ship load of same sex couples coming up to get married. See background story: http://www.365gay.com/travel/travelnews/050105travelNews.htm It seems that being decent to people will have benefits for Canada's tourist industry. This story actually made the CTV national news last night at 11:00 PM. I love being Canadian. Hugs, Conner

Long tentacles - definitely Dark Side Multiple connectedness - very Rainbow like You have mixed feelings or a multiple personality. Hugs, Conner

I hope you're licensed to write with a Canadian accent, eh. :2hands: Yes, that is a slick deal. No question. I can just see your published research now: The Social Implications of a Web-Based Rainbow Cult or How to Intimidate Nice People Withour Really Trying or I Love Jellybeaners (but I just can't get them to accept me, boo-hoo) Hugs, Conner

How do you spell relief? Hugs, Conner

The generic name in Canada is definitely 'pop'. Most people use the brand name. "Soda pop" will turn up now and then. Soda is usually a reference to 'club soda' - which is expensive carbonated water. If I asked for a 'scotch and soda', I would expect to get a club soda (with the scotch). Personnally, I only add water to scotch, if anything. If you asked for whisky here, you would get Canadian whisky - also called rye whisky. If you want scotch or bourbon, you must use those names I forget what an Orange Julius is - it has been a while. A guess would be orange flavoured pop with vanilla ice cream. The "soda fountains" of the 50's and 60's have gone the way of the dinosaur. We have something in Canada called a "beaver tail" Essentially it's a flat piece of pastry covered with cinnamon, sugar and lemon juice - served hot and fresh. We're metric here in Canada - have been for some time. It drives American tourists to distraction. A can of pop here contains 355 mL (milliliters). Gas is sold in liters. The best is atmospheric pressure - that's measured in kilo-pascals. :wacko: Our paper money is coloured. Americans think they're playing monopoly. We no longer have a $1 or $2 bill. Coins now - Looney and a Tooney - makes great holes in your pockets. Hugs, Conner

Idiocy is not a true addiction. It's more of a commitment that has negative results. :wacko: There has been considerable research into idiocy. Unfortunately, most of it has been conducted by idiots. There is strong evidence to suggest that idiocy has its roots in our genetic make-up. While this may make idiots feel better, it suggests that idiocy is here to stay. While the conservative right admits that one's environment (family, schooling, diet, political affiliations, etc) may well have an impact on the degree or level of idiocy, it believes firmly that idiocy is a choice. This means of course that the government will never subsidize idiocy. There are those who argue that idiocy is in the eyes of the beholder. What is complete idiocy to one person may well be quite normal and, in fact, sometimes attractive to another. As idiots tend to associate with other idiots, many are often unaware of their behaviour. This pattern suggests that we're all idiots, it just depends on whom you ask. Idiocy, unfortunately, is not treatable. IA and its 12-step program is really an excuse for idiots of similar proclivities to get together. Acceptance into the IA program does require a Level 3 certification as the waiting list is just endless. George Bush would be welcome at any of our chapters. Hugs, Conner

I made a bet that this thead would never make it to page 3. I lost. As my consequence I have to answer this poll. I have (gulp) 18 pairs. 2 sandals 3 boots 3 runners 5 dress shoes 4 casual shoes (I call them brothel creepers) 1 'swimming' shoes - when the beach is rocky; it saves the tootsies; they're really gay. Go figure. No more bets for me. Hugs, Conner

Yes, we Irish are known for our love of the drink. We enjoy our guinness and a wee shot of whisky now and then. As another joke goes...alcohol is the only thing holding us back from taking over the world. The Olympic Gaymes...I love that idea. Vancouver weather in the winter is actually quite moderate - not unlike Seattle's weather. Certainly more rain than snow. The sking events will be held in Whistler - a 90 minute drive up the coast - a super ski resort area and home to world sking events. Incredibly beautiful as well. The winter gaymes here in 2010 will get you all primed for Britain's 2012 summer games. Hugs, Conner

There's a joke that goes something like this - If you go to heaven, the cooks will be French, the police English, the lovers are Italian and it's all organized by the Germans. However, if you go to hell, the cooks are English, the police French, the lovers are German and it's all organized by the Italians. I've always wondered why the Irish got left out of that one. Hugs, Conner

I'm wondering if there was any kind of ethics committee associated with this study. This caught my eye from the MSNBC report: "The results of the study have not been published in a medical journal, although the French researcher who headed the team is expected to present them at an International AIDS Society conference in Brazil later this month." Why hasn't the study results been published, preferably in a peer-reviewed medical journal? Poor study? Poor ethics? Another extract from the report: "The study was conducted on more than 3,000 HIV-negative South African men, ages 18 to 24. Half of the men were randomly selected to be circumcised while the other half remained uncircumcised." So 1500 men were randomly selected from the group of 3000 and then circumcised? What is that all about? "Excuse me, sir, you've been selected for circumcision. Please follow me." 1500 times? The compensation for participation must have been attractive! What were the subjects told then? "Go out there and f**k your brains out....and by the way, don't use a condom because we want to see if you catch the HIV virus." I don't get it. Hugs, Conner

So you're saying you like to kiss both cheeks? Hugs, Conner

My congrats to the Brits as well! The 2010 Winter Olympics are here in Vancouver. I want offers, too! Hugs, Conner

Admitting one's idiocy is liberating. Why hide it? Ok, we'll move the meeting but it has to be a night Mark can watch. He's a voyeur. That's French, Mark. Deal with it. Hugs, Conner

1. You're right. Talking to you hasn't helped my idiocy score. Go figure. 2. So what do you call people who spend their time watching idiots? 3. Betty loves idiots. She made so many of them. 4. I'm a missionvirgo. Hugs, Conner
