thanx, toib. that made tears run down my cheek.

I think we could successfully replace "Chuck Norris" with "edible_eye" in most instances.

For example:
Chuck Norris - or edible_eye - doesn't actually write stories, the words assemble themselves out of fear.

Just sliding in to say hi y'all....so hi y'all.

i'm piecing together an old laptop to bring with me to Ohio to check in on you fuckers. It'll have a small version of linux on it...so i doubt any Instant messaging...so that kinda sucks.

Carry on.

Hey Teka!

Nice to *see* you babe!

[Ben Lahnger]

Hard to believe ... but if so, at least you're a darn cute one!

:-D

*hugs and kisses for my alien queen!*

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

Ooh, all this affection makes my Jaggon twitch :P

[Tall One In Black]

Mail-order brides from Russia. Hmmmm. This is strange to me.

My good friend is Russian, and what I like about him most is that he's not like American men (arrogant, aggressive, overly fixated on machismo, insensitive)*. If most Russian men are like him, then Russian women are crazy to choose American men instead.



* I don't mean to imply that all American men have such traits. But you don't have to look hard to find such men. :P

[Ben Lahnger]

Demonista, is that Jaggon as referenced in the South Park episode "Cancelled"?

Tall One, I'm glad you qualified that. I'm not sure how the ratio works out in russia, but I can assure you that there are arrogant, aggressive, insensitive men there too. My guess is that there are too many men like that everywhere, and you just have to be picky no matter where you go.

I also suspect that there is more of that in your age range than in mine, but that is also just a guess. I have always been something of an outsider when it came to my own sex and hanging out with the guys ... which explains why I always preferred to spend my time around women (well, it was one of the reasons, anyway!)

I have noticed that some of the guys I knew growing up have mellowed a bit with age and actually have become more (*gasp*) sensitive. Go figure!

By the way, the good friend from Russia ... not a boyfriend?

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

Oh my god! Ben noticed!!! woooo! Someone actually still watches South Park!

[Ben Lahnger]

Well, I taped just about every episode for a couple of years when it first came on. I don't get to watch it as often as I would like anymore, but last year Comedy Central had a "27 Fan Favorite Episode" Marathon, and I taped every one of those. The aliens who were getting their "Jaggons" tingled were pretty darned funny. That show gets away with so much stuff you couldn't do on regular TV!

[Demonista_Ravenesque]

My favourite episode was the one with Robert Smith in it...

[Tall One In Black]

Ben,
He's not my boyfriend. However, my boyfriend is not American either.

I was drawn to them for similar reasons. It wasn't until later that I realized that the qualities I like about them are the qualities that make them unlike many American men... and also cause them not to fit in with most American men.

American boys are raised in an environment that promotes arrogance and assertiveness (to the point of aggression sometimes). They're taught that emotions are for sissies, so they grow up to be insensitive. Sharing your feelings or opening up to another person makes you look vulnerable; a "real" man doesn't talk about how he feels because a "real" man never shows weakness. He's tough and strong, like a rock. Life is all about competition and winning and success. Emotions are for girls (and homosexuals).

I am, of course, speaking in broad generalities. Certainly there are plenty of American men who don't fit this profile. But in general terms, it's a good description of the environment in which boys are raised.

[Godslayer Jillian]

My favorite one has always been the one where Cartman (is that how you spell it?) thinks he's dead, and asks Butters to help him go to heaven

Butters- But what if you don't go to Heaven? What if you end up, you know, downstairs?
Cartman- I'm not going to hell you idiot. I'm not black!!!

That dude is racist

P.S. racism is not good

I got my tax return! With the money, I went out and bought a brand new California King mattress and box spring! It gets delivered on Sunday! I'm so excited to have sex in it!

*smooches*

[Sanctus Dei]

But..but... I liked the one w/ Robert Smith in it too... Although, the Mechastreisand (sp?) episode also flipped my humor switch.

Okay so for the last few days the same two girls have been dining in the establishment where I work, they order appetizers, and then a meal for each of them. Each time one of the two girls (the thinner of the two) will eat 75% of the app (usually nachos) her entire meal and half of her firends meal. In the process of dinning she devours this food so fast that there are dribble of sour cream and such down her chin. I imagine she's in her early to mid thirties and with her size I can't figure where she puts it all. I tend to wonder if it all exits the way it entered as soon as she is in a private location??

[Ben Lahnger]

My favorite South Park (hard to pick just one, but) is "Scott Tenerman Must Die", the one where the kid convinces Cartman to buy his pubic hair, and the whole cycle of trying to get even with each other escalates until Cartman concocts this elaborate scheme that causes a local farmer to kill Scott's parents and Cartman serves the kid chili made with his own parent's flesh. Gross, revolting, outrageous, over the edge ... but brilliant.

I also liked "Cancelled" just because they took the plot of their original pilot episode and spoofed themselves.

Tall One, I'm good with that explanation. I agree with you about the general culture here, and feel it is unfortunate. And it IS widely reinforced in our entertainment and culture.

Yes I've posted it already in politics, but I think it's somewhat random, and not everyone goes to politics.
