The Great Singapore Penis Panic is a great name for a band.

Cooking with Poo was truly one of the highlights of our two-week Thailand trip. Her name is indeed Poo and she is a really sweet and neat person.

I thought the book would be about making a fire with animal dung and then cooking with it. I am disappoint.

drjekel_mrhyde: Pretty sure someone will make a recipe on "How to make the best cock meat sandwich"

When I lived in Nepal, I had a friend who was very proud of his English. One day, out of the blue, he asked me, "Do you like to eat cock?" I sorta sputtered for a minute before trying to tell him he shouldn't use the word "cock." He seemed offended when I told him that "chicken" was the better word to use ("But my dictionary says it's the correct word!"), and I was too embarrassed to give him the real reason, so I settled for "'Cock' is the name for the animal, but 'chicken' is the name for the food, much like 'cow' and 'beef'." He was ok with that.

It's a little bit funny how defensive non-native speakers get if you correct their English. Then again, when I think about the ridiculous stuff people say on Fark and then get defensive about when corrected, maybe I shouldn't be surprised.

I got that book a few years ago as a gift. Read most of it, but never really applied its anus-centric principals to my own lifestyle.

A cock is the male. Cocks crow in the morning. There is nothing wrong with his English. You deliberately misled him.

I published a book last year with the title "Sexpanzer und Babytod" (sex tank and baby death). The title of my other book from last year translates to "My way to world domination - phase 2". (There is no book with "phase 1".) Yeah, I like to confuse bookstore employees.

Indubitably		2012-03-30 07:09:51 PM

Yeah, so now not hungry AT ALL...

Heh.

P.S. Mmmm, poo. I made a poo salad a couple of weeks ago to die for. Seriously. There were the celeries, the shallots, the mayo, the mustard, the poo...

When I was a early teen, I was helping a friend out and while he was not around, I noticed this pulpy little book he had called "Sexing Chicks." There I was early into puberty and found that my friend had THE MANUAL. I proceded to flip through it as fast as I could in an attempt to garner as much as information as I could. There were comments about noticing things like their feet (Well they did have smaller sizes.), looking atheir combs (They rarely used combs but brushes), and then looking at their beaks. Beaks? (WTF part of the anatomy was that?) It was then that I saw one of the far too few illustrations. I realized it was a book about determining the gender of young chinckens. I put the book back, found the item that I was sent to retrieve, and hid my disappointment.

Looking back, I laugh at my foolishness. Even if Mike had THE MANUAL, he wouldn't have read it. I don't think I've ever seen him reading any book. Hell, in hich school I once checked a report for him. The material was so bad that I asked him what book he was reading. He then showed me an article in a fishing magazine. #TnDOE

I have a list of odd book titles somewhere...some of the better and more worrying ones are:

How to Cook Husbands (1899)
The Pleasures of the Torture Chamber (1931)
The Baby Jesus Touch & Feel Book (1995)

And my fave:

Old Age, its Cause and Prevention (1912)

Am I the only person on Fark who has this book? As a wood worker who uses wood slavaged from houses and other buildings being torn down, I do need this book to figure out what various pieces of wood are.

Now, your average house wife... she probably has enough experience to judge all the wood in her neighborhood.

cptrelentless: A cock is the male. Cocks crow in the morning. There is nothing wrong with his English. You deliberately misled him.

I am aware that AT ONE TIME, "cock" was a perfectly acceptable synonym for "rooster." I am also aware that one does not say in current American English "I like to eat cock" to mean "I like to eat chicken."

Since you seem to like taking about what words mean, here's one you could use to describe yourself: "pilkunnussija."

What about The Adventures of Captain Gladys Stout-Pamphlet and her Intrepid Spaniel Stigg Amongst the Giant Pygmies of Becholz, Volume 8?

That's my biggest concern...especially given the date of publication. "You wish not to become old? Then you must not live long. Death at 30 will prevent elderly living!"
