i think it’s time for this conversation to end. in some languages, rape means some sort of plant and in others, it means to violate in a sexual manner. lets just let it go and move on….

I did my most intense partying before there were things identified as “raves,” but back then we often aimed for becoming vegetables ourselves.

Lookee here, Moe, this Amurrican ain’t takin’ kindly too awl the remarks about our lack of knowledge about udder countries. Hey, we here are for the most part intelligent people with a tremendous interest in how other cultures live. We too read and are great enthusiasts for the past and current histories of the countries from which our parents or great-great-grandparents came. It’s just so easy to bash us right now because our banks and securities and government safeguards have been shown to be venal. So have at it, but just remember that you’re labeling a people as diverse as all of Europe and Asia with one label. But you have the right to your own opinion. Me, I’ve found denizons of Mexico, England and Canada to be just as clueless about other cultures when I meet them in their own countries. But that’s what average people are like: busy trying to live their lives, earn their bread and sort out their own problems.

Maybe that’s why King Philip of Macedon (Alex the Great’s old man) was assassinated. King Philip must’ve called the bodyguard who killed him a “prewt” one too many times.

That was one thing among many I liked about “An American Werewolf in London.” When are hero woke up transformed back into a people, he was lying buck naked in the wolf cage at the zoo. Then, they ran (and he ran) with his nakedness for fun in the next few scenes. Stealing the balloons from the little boy and that sort of thing.

I have never heard the expression “nicky noo nar”, but it’s now going to the top of the list of favorites.

I always figured AHnold was one of the first purchasers of the civilian Hummers because he needed to compensate for certain deficiencies.

9. Don’t sneak away from a gathering looking for somewhere isolated and “private” to have secks – get a room with a lockable door.
10. Kick off high heels; the chances of spraining an ankle in a horror film are much, much higher than in real life.
11. Don’t reach into a drain, crawlspace, nook or burrow where you can’t see into it just to get the keys/purse/bracelet you dropped. RUN back to your car, break the window to get in, hotwire it, then when you are safely home ring the bank and tell them you’ve lost your key card. If he really loves you, he’ll be so glad that you’re home safe he’ll buy you another bracelet.
11. Don’t read aloud from old books, especially if you’re drunk.
12. Don’t be rude to, assault or cheat harmless-looking elderly people.
13. Don’t invite anyone into your house until you know who the hell they are.

Don’t get me started on the overused conventions of horror films! People could avoid any trouble with monsters/killers if they just obeyed a few simple rules: 1. NEVER walk backwards. 2. DON’T go down the basement. 3. Ditto the attic. 4. You don’t want to know what’s behind that secret staircase. You really don’t. 5. The locked door that has noises behind it should really stay locked. Never mind who gave you the key. 6. Graveyards are fine in the daytime. At night, you REALLY don’t want to be there. 7. If all else fails, RUN! TOP SPEED! Monsters are always slow-moving. Don’t bother trying to start the car. It will always keep cranking futilely until the monster gets there.

Well, you know that “twerp” backwards is “prewt,” which, I believe, is considered obscene in Macedonian. And funsquashing, well, it’s not hard to imagine that as a euphemism for the Dirty Deed. Or perhaps the moderation bot was having a PMS!

It’s a metaphor for natural selection, speeded up – if you are dumb enough to go out into the woods/into the cave/into the scary house in the middle of the night, without a torch, in your jimjams, without telling anyone where you’re going, after being warned that something strange is suspected about that particular venue, then frankly, you deserve to get et.

Srsly, Brother Buck, there will always be a few twerps who don’t just come here for the lolz. Point and laugh at them. It’s positively therapeutic. It’s what the rest of us are doing. Do you really care what they think? Wouldn’t you be more worried if you had the good opinion of a killjoy funsquashing pronouncer of unamusedness?

I just had a thought as to why it was necessary for Hulk to wear pants at all times in the TV series, at least. He was played by Lou Ferringo, a bodybuilder contemporary of one Arnold Schwarzenneggnbaconburger, and therefore possibly also another user of certain bodybuilding-enhancing substances. If he had run around in the nicky noo nar, all anybody who watched it would’ve been able to think would’ve been “Dude, who the hell bonsaied your package?”

DPH Fairy will let that go, because she has wondered about That Sort Of Thing herself for many years. What’s the bet that when the werewolves in the “Twilight” films manifest, they turn back into humans with pants on? Oh, I was forced to sit through the first film, it was appalling, I want to set them all on fire.

No.
Mel Brooks used it, indirectly, as an insight to the character.
In Blazing Saddles the bad guy uses it twice in the job interview to establish his character. In Young Frankenstein, Elisabeth is an alpha socialite that can only be subjugated by a more dominant male. Her protests and rationalizations aren’t understood by the testosterone poisoned brain of the monster, but they do come to an understanding.
In History of the World, the announcer at the Roman Palace screams R@PE when his personal space is invaded.

Not to answer for Groomer, who is well capable of answering for himself, but as someone who has personally counseled many victims of r@pe, there is absolutely NOTHING funny about the act, which is one of the most profoundly degrading and wounding acts any so-called human can commit. But the appearance of the word in places where it seems quite bizarre and incongrous, like on a food menu, can be quite humorous.

By: JDAC

JDAC — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 18:23:56 +0000

But you have found r@pe to be humorous in the past? Just to clarify this point.

As a psychologist, I can’t say I know the answer for sure. But a similar thing happens in movies of the horror genre: there is always a young attractive female who is being stalked by the monster/killer/ sadist. I think it taps into the archetypal image of horror preying upon the pure, innocent, defenseless, and gets our emotions flowing more readily.

We do see r@pe popping up on Engrish menus fairly often, suggesting that something other than that seed is being translated into “r@pe.”

I have become, at home, a convert to strictly extra virgin olive oil, although as a dietary supplement I take rather large quantities of lecithin, which is high in precursors for brain chemicals, especially for acetylcholine, which is the neurotransmitter most involved in memory.

Don’t let ‘em get to ya, Buck! My response was plenty long, and no one could possibly accuse me of having too much time on my hands, since I work a full-time plus job, perform almost all household tasks for a 9-year-old daughter and a seriously ill invalid wife, care for a yard and a large pool, do all the driving and shopping that needs to be done for my family, and am pursuing a doctorate degree, not to mention some additional new duties as an ordained minister. But right now this site is one of the high points of my life, and when someone attacks I feel duty-bound to defend us. As I’ve said before, if you’re not here for the laughs, PLEASE spend your time on another site. Perhaps sanctimonious self-appointed critics.com would be more your style.

I didn’t think spandex existed when the Hulk was first created. Maybe radiation exposure does funny things to cotton.

By the way, do you wear purple pants all the time? I just have this suspicion.
One thing I’ve always wondered about (which isn’t going to surprise you since I think you have a good sense of where my mind is at most times) is this- when Mr. Banner transforms into the less than jolly green Hulk, all of his clothing is ripped to shreds, except for his purple pants. At most, his bell bottoms might shred, but nothing else. I always wondered why, since it would seem that if his upper body muscle mass increased that much, why wouldn’t his lower body muscle mass do the same, if only to support his upper body? So it would seem that he would get too big for his britches, not to mention his undershorts. Jack Kirby as a comic book artist would never have had a problem in depicting such a thing (oh noes! Where’s DPHF?). I guess the comic book then would be no longer appropriate for the kiddies. I doubt, too, that Stan Lee would let that pass.

OK, thanks for the clarification. I hadn’t heard about that problem, but now I know what to watch for.
BTW: “lecithin”. My short time on this site has cured me of any tendencies to become a spelling nazi with general speech, but I get a bit touchy about mistakes with food and chemical names, particularly when we have things like xylitol and xylenol. Wouldn’t want anyone to confuse those two!

R@peseed’s DNA was modified by bombarding it with high energy gamma rays in a lab. The survivors that germinated had their oil tested, and those with food grade oil were placed into a high production reproduction process. Canola is grown in isolated fields, far from things that would upset it. Don’t make it angry. You don’t want to see it angry.
