what_now - Good point. Sometimes simply telling someone they're not funny and why is far more effective then ranting they are shut up completely. The former approach might make them shut up voluntarily.

abb3w - Thanks for the links to the article. Unfortunately, I'm getting "Not Found" messages for both of them.

h to the 'ojo - So this is the column in question? Wow. Pretty lame. The writer refers to "Road Trip" as a "funny Tom Green movie" and it goes downhill from there.

To quote a former co-worker regarding local TV personalities, "They're funny if you're 12-years-old."

theoriginalslash: Second, most women (from my experience) have no sense of humor whatsoever, and not just the uptight man-hating ones. Humor and/or intelligence aren't valued in women, so most don't bother cultivating them. Once women have kids, that's it for whatever speck of humor they might have once had. Motherhood is an endless series of opportunities to express how offended they are by things. You know, for the children. It's perfect for the attention whore who's bored by scrapbooking or planning school functions or her loveless marriage.


Thanks, that was really farking depressing. I don't disagree with it, although obviously I think there is a whole set of male tendencies that is sorta the same way. It's always disappointing when people decide to live as caricatures of people.

Tat'dGreaser: I'm starting a new descriptive word, "sex troll". They come into sex discussion threads and say things like, "hey, I love to do all those naughty things your wife doesn't do". Of course they have no pictures or a description in their profile. I'm just waiting for them to link a webcam.

I think most of those posts are actually dudes who are seeing how many suckers jump on the obligatory "How you doin?" response.

running_too_slow: Greater minds than yours have been reduced to shorted-out pocket calculators by these babies.

Seriously, I don't know whether it's more fun to be a chick on the internet or to watch how other chicks behave on the internet.

I think watching others would be the most amusing... much like going to a bar and watching everyone else get piss drunk. Often times it can be more amusing than getting piss drunk yourself.

Which one?



/who am I kidding - they all rock.

This: I think you're mixing up cause-and-effect here. Guys trash-talk. It's what they do. They only stop the trash-talking for a chance at nookie. Once the nookie is impossible, they return to trash-talking. Women assume this is because they're mocking the ladies that don't put out for them, when it's actually simply them returning to treating the woman like any other person instead of potential poon.

This. What's up!

Absolutely true here. When a guy is treating a girl like this...just like anyone else, the girl aught to recognize that she is seeing the real him for the first time. Enjoy it. See if you like the real him...the guy that talks trash and is kinda goofy and fun-loving.

Cause that's the way you are getting treated after marriage...except shortly before bed time (which doesn't work guys...you gotta be nice all day long!).

Pxtl: Yep. Although a recent movement among Farkers has observed that we're all Attention Whores hoping for that sweet kiss of "This" or "Thread Over" or even "New Keyboard!" as a means of validating our pathetic existences, so having some boobies to look at while doing it isn't really anything to complain about.

As such, the sex-threadjacking order of Fark perverts was born.

Whatever... I'm still the mother farking pioneer. All others are just copies in front of me.

Thanks! I don't really notice it when I'm using it but I like showing it off to guests. None of whom have given a damn so far but hey, I'm optimistic.

But can you Google in the dark with it?

There is only one way to Google, and that way is blindfolded.

I mean, yes. I can also use it as a lamp to take notes on my Googling when I don't want to turn the overhead on.

Ok this is bugging me. The Picard maneuver is informally known as the shirt-tug, but the maneuver is formally known as the battle tactic used against a Ferengi ship that only had light speed sensors which Picard exploited with a sudden warp 9, thereby sneaking up on them. The maneuver was named after Picard because it was famous enough to become required reading at Starfleet Academy.

Geez, I didn't even know about this stuff until this thread.

And what was with those skirts on dudes in the first few episodes? Cripes, man what if the gravity fails and you're floating around with your junk waving everywhere? God.

For that matter, remember that episode with the Planet of Amazon Women? Can you imagine, even for a SECOND, a planet of women dressed that badly? My God, the Ministry of Shoes alone would dward Defense, Tranportation and Agriculture comined!

The 89 did well for me... and I went to a school that made MATLAB and Maple essential.

The TI-89 is more well known - higher chance of attracting engineers - and more inexpensive... more bang for the buck.. just in case one of those crafty bastards gets off with some of the bait... and it has to be replaced

littlett's: Yes, but G1 is still the best!!

Idunno, I've always had a soft-spot for the G2 "Laser-Rod optimus prime". Best articulation I've ever seen in a Prime action figure, without sacrificing his appearance too much. Plenty of firing weapons, and a light in his hand that would make a big glowy sword light up.

/my laser rod.
//let me show it to you.

littlett's:


Yes, but G1 is still the best!!

yeah, i got one of those

I wrote for Golden Words (humourous engineering paper) at Queen's University many moons ago. There were lots of topics that didn't get published. Rape jokes, dead baby jokes, misogynistic, misandrist, pedophilia, etc.

I can't seem to find the article in question, but I wouldn't be surprised if it's more offensive than we think it is. I know I submitted a lot of horrible things to be published, and every now and then they'd go through to print. Complain, apologize, wash rinse repeat.

You may find jokes about rape funny, but to many people, they are offensive. Dead baby jokes, rape jokes, Holocaust jokes, etc., we may find them funny here, but this is a certain audience. I wouldn't be surprised at all if this professor's complaints were legitimate, given some of the horrible shiat I heard tossed around the writer's room back in my day. If the Oral Otis is anything like the Golden Words, then they receive school funding. You can figure the rest out by yourself.

I don't mean to spray my sandy vagina everywhere, but you can only joke about certain things in an ironic way for so long, before the irony is lost and you're just the douchebag making jokes about raping someone.

\rent before you buy

the dork level is steadily increasing during the last several posts.

Won't someone please think of the buttsecks and attention whores???

PLEASE?!?!?!?!

Gwendolyn: Arthur Jumbles: Seriously... Everyone's jumping to the conclusion that the Women's Studies professor is a complete psycho biatch but without reading the actual article I'm going to withhold judgment form both sides.

I'd say that was a fair assumption. She may be right about the article, but women with an axe to grind are psycho biatches.

Although from being around my husband and his colleagues for the past 6 years, I will place money on the fact that the article wasn't funny and they said stupid shiat but were to dense to realize what they were saying was stupid.

This I would agree with. However, getting bent out of shape about stupid, even indefensibly stupid, shiat in a literary effort by engineers is like getting pissed off that water is wet.

HeatherBunny: Who doesn't love anal?!!??

Not with my hemorrhoids.

My last name's Picard, so I'm getting a kick yadda yadda.

Miss "sand in her vajajay's" e-mail address is on the University of Ottawa web site.

Lesson 1 kids: If you're going to make an arse out of yourself, at least be tougher to find and ridicule.

I'm sure every HR rep looooooves seeing something like "Women's Studies" on a resume.

Instantly, the rep foresees several years of dealing with a biatchy, pissy employee constantly emailing and calling about ridiculous things in the workplace.

Then, after a couple years of dealing with the PITA, a man walks into the rep's office, asks if the rep's name is _______ _______?

The rep says, "yes".

The man says, "You've been served." and hands over papers for a lawsuit from "Women's Studies" girl against company naming HR rep (and a bunch of HR rep's bosses/coworkers/friends) in the lawsuit.

Two years later and the HR rep is still dealing with the suit, going to depositions, answering questions, taking days off work, etc. etc.

After the company loses 10M on the suit, the rep is fired and replaced.

The rep snaps back to reality and throws "Women's Studies" resume in the trash.

Oh wait...there is no such thing as men's studies, cause that would be sexist...or racist...or something where people are horribly maimed by the existence of such a class.

I am taking a white, straight, male studies class. It involves drinking beer, watching football, and telling sexist, racist, and fart jokes.

Nope. He's a good friend of mine. The place got a lot less funny when he graduated. I was Pants Optional. You would only have seen my name on a couple of articles. After a dry spell of not writing anything funny, I turned to supporting other writers. Turned out I was much funnier helping other people make jokes than making the jokes myself.
