Is this hateable?

[Reads with Scotch]

Is it true Mormons wear magic underwear that they never take off? I wonder what it's magic powers are... and if they sell it at Wal-mart.

[Stina]

It is my understanding that they take it off for showering, but if they're real hard core, they'll hold it in one hand while they wash with the other one.

There are slits in the garments (fancy word for fancy underwear) that allow for sexing whilst wearing them.

I think they're something that you need to be wearing when you get to the celistial kingdom, but I could be wrong. They don't get them until they are married and the women edition has REALLY THICK shoulders and is cut really high so they can't wear v-necks or tank tops. It's bullshit.

Not sure about Walmart, but you WILL find a pair or many pairs at Goodwill.

We should launch a pantie raid on that group.

Moms do other things besides cooking and cleaning?!?

No fucking way. My mom never did... she just cooked and cleaned and then cleaned and cooked.

Holy shit!

Question: What would happen if a woman were to take up other activities besides cooking, cleaning and reading approved literature?

Answer: that woman would develop an itchy sin rash.

They'd be okay, but who would ever marry them?

[Rusty]

Not I.

HAHAHAHAHAH!

Well there's your problem Kristina... Your affiliation is punishment due to reading. You don't need devil medicine just a stout pair of underwear and a good clean read.



How boring I think I'd just deal with the rash.

[[deleted user]]

I'm so sorry. If I had that rash, I'd, um...bathe in hydrocortizone. But I'd also cry. The underwire part was what brought pinprick tears to my eyes.

If I had been there, I'd have fought off that rash with a golf club! Or I'd have trapped it in a cup and set it outside.

[smetchie]

Awwww. That was sweet.

[smetchie]

Wait a minute!! I just realized we've been talking about Mormons for 24 hours and still NO TOM!

[[deleted user]]

Wait--maybe he's off getting married and honeymooning! It's not that he hates us so much that he left without saying goodbye!

[Stina]

I think Rusty nailed it (heh) with Lent... he gave up THC instead of Westerns. What a nerd.

If he isn't back after Easter (like Jesus himself), we should flip the hell out.

Speaking of Mormons, did anybody watch Big Love clear to the finale this year?

[Dave]

I did. I didn't like the last season, but I liked how they wrapped it all up.

[smetchie]

Hi Dave!!!

[Dave]

Hello.

[smetchie]

We missed you! Did you see we got a monkey?

[Dave]

Thanks.

Yep.

[[deleted user]]

Yeah, I did not know how they were going to wrap it up, but it worked. Phew. I thought the last two seasons were both inferior to the first three. I'm going to miss Nicki, though.

I think you should write again and make sure they are okay. Perhaps make up a list of questions.

I've noticed you haven't responded...

Are you suffering from food poisoning and you've spent the last 24 hours on the shitter? If not, perhaps it's the barfing kind of food poisoning instead? What do you think you ate? I had some olives a while back that really did a number on my colon. I'm sorry to hear about your food poisoning.

Are you laying on the floor and are unable to get up? Is there an animal near you who is licking it's lips in anticipation of eating you within the next 48 hours? Is it a cat or a dog? Cats are crazy... so standoffish! Maybe a bird? For your sake, I hope you don't keep flies or vermin as pets. If so, you're most likely fucked.

Anyway, just wanted to let you know that I'm thinking of you and value your feedback on the feedback I provided to you. That way I can learn how to be more constructive.

Oh, I forgot to tell you about the felching... yeah, there's a shitload of felching in that book. Violent felching, if you can picture it. If you can't, write me back. I'll send a photo.

[Reads with Scotch]

Heh!!!!

[smetchie]

Hahah!

[Rusty]

I just looked up the word felching. Thanks for that mental image before 8am, Kristina. Your knowledge of shit like that probably directly led to your sin rash.

Damn you David and your helpful, well thought out comments!

[Monkey]

I posted a response:
David, I can see that you are trying to be helpful, but I don't think that you are offering a review of the correct book.

The book Mark is asking about is Kraken and its working title was "Young Willy and the Sex-Squid of olde London"
I think they had to change it because of China's copyright laws.

Mark, sorry about David's inaccurate review, maybe he'll read the right book and post a corrected version.
I'm glad to see that we have not-skiing in common!
you said that you are moving...is it to the DC area? (PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE SAY YES!)

If so, I'd love to take you to see the giant squid at the Natural History Museum. I understand it was Mieville's inspiration for the story
They won't let you have sex with it (imagine the line!), but you can touch the container.

I know... it's disgusting. It even makes me gaggy to think about it.

*DO NOT LOOK UP FELCHING AT WORK*


@Monkey- I love your response... the last line is my favorite.

[smetchie]

HAHAHHA! MONKEY! You realize that is a general discussion about the book and not a comment on just your book, right? No wonder I couldn't find it! He wasn't asking you those questions. People can start general discussions about a particular book and if you've read it, it will show up on the "discussions" feed of your home page. (unless you filter for groups only.) That's awesome. I'm going to pretend to have read it just so I can follow that discussion.

[smetchie]

And does anyone hate that new feature? I find it sort of useless because I only ever see discussions about Twilight and Harry Potter. Maybe if I scroll down I'll find others but I don't. I did get a slight chuckle out of a discussion for Eat, Pray, Love called "hate, curse, vomit." (or something like that.)

[Reads with Scotch]

Brilliant. That is all.

Where the fuck is Tom? Gretchen can read all the Western's she wants now- shouldn't he be back at THC?

[Tom]

For some reason, every time I see this headline, I think "will it blend?" O don't know why.

[smetchie]

Tom, are you baiting me? Why do you keep posting close to questions about your sabbatical from haters?

[Tom]

Seriously though. Check out some of the "will it blend" videos on YouTube.
