Gibberings CXXVI : Post moar, Kenny says so

[Myshkin]

You want me to change who I am to get into the gang? Sounds like marriage or some shit. You need a leather jacket to be a rude boy right?

Like I've already suggested, you could at least try to live up to your name.

On current form you're not even a stifled guffaw that turns into a yawn midway through. Let alone a laugh.

Just took up an offer from my friend and got my tongue pierced. Had it far forward than normal, but still away from the front teefs. Apparently its good for the lady.


Hence, I hereby counter mugz addiction to gambling, by my now regular habit of getting needles pushed through various skin bits.

Amazingly sunny day in Edi also. Almost warm enough for taps off. Lovely.

Bedtime I think... well warsaw just another city ha nah we did a bit of sightseeing. 1 Litre of 6.4% zywiec was 7pln so thats what like £1.40? Just under 2 pints probally set you back £7 over here. 9 of us all had steaks good 6-7 of them litre zywiecs, shots etc came to like 400? Somehow. Really good city actually, think the old town was the best bit, had a gander around a few museums.

Absolutley no drugs in such a big place its strange, tried for a good 7 hours, people asking for ID as we lookd like police, they said if you get caught 2 times with weed you get jail time, didnt know it was so stringent. And the only other place a bouncer was asking 800pln for "99% coke straight from madrid" hmm sure no thanks, other than that great time. Good to see all my school friends again.

Apart from the £378 specially "engineered" lamp that needs to be replaced

 

[backroll]

What is it with Yank mods trolling EADD lately?

My god you really don't do yourselves any favours do you?

[edit] brimz get better soon bredren. I've been vomiting every single thing I ingest ever since eating a dodgy curry last night. Mega dehydrated, not fun in 30°C heat. Maybe I should plug some Gatorade................

I have a yank mod currently courting me via PM,

or Police Messaging as it is now known!

NO I AM NOT COMING TO MEET YOU IN CENTRAL LONDON WITH HEROIN!
AND NO I DON'T KNOW WHAT PURITY IT IS!
BAIT BAIT BAIT!

 

[masaz]

It's great stuff Snolls . It has so many therapeutic uses from bad throats to dodgy Toe Nails Manuka Honey keeps it all in check . A must for every household .
So glad i was introduced to it . Mind you the person that did is very canny .

Funnily enough, the reason I got it off me mam was because she used it for one of the horses that is prone to crippling himsen. She always bought a job lot so once he went out on loan I got the bottles she hadn't used :D Never thought of using it for bad throats tho, gonna try that next time mine's a bastard.

eh, that kind of behaviour needs reporting imo

 

[Marmalade]

giz a summary ... will read the thread when I'm out of thee bath.

I'm anti-circumcision ... will the thread annoy me? I'm betting yes

 

[masaz]

Like watching snooker when you've got a hangover.

I'm so glad it's not just me and my tapped ex missus that do that.

 

[Ben So Furry]

...I guess you're already married?

Woah! Sorry? Who's married Marmalade?

That's great, marriage, it really is, everyone should do it, if you want. ha ha yeah I know, the no sex thing, but hey? Who needs that sweaty, messy malarky when you have the love? It's right. Isn't it?

We have the love, I know, OK? I don't see it in her eyes as much but it's ok, because it's there and that's important. If I look deep and stare you ages, I see it, it is there. I know it is.

So get married everyone, it's great.

 

[Shambles]

A'ternoon, all

Larvely sunny day 'ere in the valleys. Warm too. And fukkin reeeeeeeeks. Farmers are muckspreading so the whole town is enveloped in a fug of cowshit. Gotta rural life

Did get me script in though - woot! - albeit with a bit of a fuckabout. Tried to make me wait til tomorrow even though it was printed and signed. New receptionist at the docs is a right snotty cow. The type that gives folk The Look after a quick scan of what they're hankering after. "Yes I do want to take it down to the chemist and cash it myself instead of waiting til tomorrow afternoon - what bizniz is it of yours?"

*scratchez itchiez*

Also, I the circumsision threads in SLR. Used to be one of me fave threads to go and have a wee rant in when in ranty mode. Dunno what's up with Sep's and their obsession with male genital mutialation... and they really don't like it when you call it that either :D

Have noticed there's a bit of a trend over yonder ponder towards leaving their boyfolks as nature intended. Loadsa documentaries on the subject recently. Maybe they're finally getting past some of that ol' Puritanical hangover of theirs. One can but hope. Pleasure is pleasurable and as such foreskins very much a Good Thing. Although they ain't exactly the purdiest lil skinflaps I must admit.

 

[masaz]

Fuck off, it's never sunny down where you are That said, I woke up to my phone saying we would have highs of 13C and it'd be sunny.

It's foggy and shite out as of now :D

Glad ya got yer script, can't imagine what it's like actually needing shit as opposed to wanting it and having to fuck around like that.

Circumcision wise I have no comment, being a proper card carrying female and all, don't really feel like I have the right to.

edit: Shammy, do you ever get residual itchies? I had maybe 800mg of codeine last night and ended up itching the skin off my foot, a-fucking-gain. And my feet and hands are still itching today, after dosing around 5pm yest. Does my nut as the snuggly blanketness is gone.

 

[masaz]

Ahhh foot twins! I've got a scar on my right foot too, just behind my middle toes, as a result of codeine. Tis a fair whack indeed, I'm blessed (har) with something of a natural tolerance, as was my poor maternal grandma (opiates/oids never did owt for her, she took to smoking pot for pain relief, wondered where I got it from!).

For real though, is that a common thing? I got IV morphine when I was 17 and it did fuck all except make me itch and like I said my recreational/therapeutic codeine doses at least have to be between 500-800mg now.

I've always been a boy yet have an opinion on female circumsision/genital mutilation. It's much the same as my opinion of the male equivalent only even more so due to additional viciousness involved.

That aside, I don't really get residual itchiez. But I do tend to take an anti-histamine if dosing high on codeine to counterract the non-residual itchiez so maybe that helps?

Anyway I vote EADD mods start shitting in the Lounge the way the septics (thanks for reminding me of that term Shambles) do over here. Only question is how do you lower the standards of that already staggering collective mound of shit?

You don't. You raise the standards. Or try to at least... briefly. Maybe it'll catch on? "Be the change" as our Beloved Overlord Alisdair is wont to say. And actually has a point.

Made a few Lounge forays meself of late. Mainly cos EADD is usually dead overnight these days and I need outlets for excessive posting of tunes and wasted ramblings. Don't think I really post any differently over there... so probably even fewer folk have a clue what I'm on about. Never really get any grief or attempts at traditional Lounge "assrape" of non-Lounge regulars though. They tend to be quite deferential to postcounts for some reason and mine's higher than just about anybody's and very few of 'em in teh Lounge. Mostly get ignored or get into exchanges with those Rats who can use words as well as pictures to communicate. Yup. There really are some of those. Suprised me too

It's vastly improved over what it used to be anyway. There are actually some entertaining threads and funny posts these days. Still plenty dross too, naturally, but the tittersome:twattery ratio has definitely gone up massively from the dark days of page after page of the same fukkin meme in every thread as it once was. Is nice to get to chat with some of me international chums now I don't get out of EADDland as much as I used to too. Is a real shame that so many great posters end up as Rats and nothing but Rats but the less braindead amongst them can still hold a conversation and raise a few chuckles whilst the memes and witless abuse goes on above and below.

 

[Pagey]

Well I've just read the entire thread. Am pleased to report I learned a new term which I plan to use in future rants - "herd lunacy". Good innit? SLR is pure gold for when you're megabraindead and want a few laughs at other people's expense... That being said I've actually posted there a few times with actual opinions and "advice" - usually off my tits on one drug or another, but that kind of goes without saying.
[edit] quote of the thread:

Yep, we're just too awesome in there.
You should all come join the debate on whether or not people who circumsise their kids should be put to death.

 

[pinkpapaver]

circumcision thread looks like great fun. Is anybody sunburnt yet? Beautiful weather here. The bar has been set high and I'm trying for the ultimate "no, I was n't born in Ireland ... care to look at my fresh sunburn" missed a few days chances with work.
I glow in the dark. That laugh was having a go in the H thread. Now that's a bored person really.

Manuka honey: tell me more and what to do with it. I'll be back later. It's Tuesday today?

 

[Ben So Furry]

formula one.

Yeah I like that as well, have done since it moved over to the BBC when it did. The year Jenson Button became good all of a sudden. Me and the missus really got into it helped very much indeed by the fact that a Brit was winning, We would go nuts when he won and loved his team radio thing he did at the end, it was obvious he was overjoyed, was very nice thing to hear. That German fella who is a great driver was crap at that in comparison it was like there was little or no real emotion coming from his tone at all. Is it an accent thing? I don't know but he sounded like what he really was saying was 'job done' but tried to make it sound like he was excited. Couldn't watch it with adverts on when they come on I have the urge to get up and fuck off, then I don't come back in fear of another one happening.

Maybe it's sad I don't care, I'm hooked now even though it hasn't had the same excitement that first season we saw together happened. Maybe it will return when Lewis starts winning? He just might you know. He is a crazy driver, he would drive straight into a lamppost at full speed instead of ever let off the gas. That bloke is an ideal candidate for burning in a fireball. Hope that doesn't happen but he is a 'all or nothing' type, which has been part of his undoing at times.

 

[Myshkin]

I've always been a boy yet have an opinion on female circumsision/genital mutilation. It's much the same as my opinion of the male equivalent only even more so due to additional viciousness involved.

The two are hardly analogous though, are they?

Male circumcision leaves the penis essentially functional, whereas female circumcision is specifically designed to impair function. Often, male circumcision is carried out on medical grounds rather than religious / cultural ones.

You can have strong opinions about both practices (and a large number of circumcised males have no choice in the matter, granted), but it's a bit rash to consider them morally equivalent based on that factor alone.

Plus it's far nicer to have a circumcised cock in your mouth. Allegedly.

 

[Shambles]

I'd say they are rather analogous, Myshkin. With the proviso mentioned that the female form is considerably more vicious. In both cases the intent is to reduce sexual sensation as much as is possible. It just so happens that it works out that boys retain far more sensation and the concept of female sexual pleasure is far more scary to patricarchal establishmenst that go in for the whole anti-pleasure stuff. Obviously the female version is far more of a concern cos it's so unbelievably brutal but I essentially view them both as being disgusting archaic practices that need to stop.

I know it's a religious thing for male circumsision in particular but given my views on religion that really doesn't make much difference to me. Just another example of why religion is backwards and barbaric.

As far as whether it's nicer to nibble on a but or uncut todger... I must admit to not really having enough data to make a determination. I've never had any complaints though. And I do have an inordinately lengthy foreskin (or inordinately short penis maybe). Imagine it's mostly down to when you last washed yer cock really :D

Women I've known have always professed to prefer intact todgers... but am guessing there may be a certain amount of tailoring of opinions dependent on state of current penis.

 

[Myshkin]

Erm, I think you've misunderstood my post entirely. My argument is actually that it's not always purely religious or cultural in nature. I think the majority of circumcisions aren't done on religious grounds; check out America, for example. Or even the UK, where it's been standard procedure in some hospitals before, regardless of religion.

What I'm saying is that female genital mutilation ('circumcision' is a complete misnomer and perpetuates people equating the two very distinct practices) is entirely motivated by a desire to suppress female sexuality and has no other benefits. Granted, the modern popularity of the male procedure may hark back to nineteenth century sexual puritanism, but it's essentially a harmless operation if everything goes to plan.

Male circumcision, when properly carried out, reduces the likelihood of prostate cancer and a whole host of infections. Crucially, it leaves the penis entirely intact and functional. In many cases the operation is performed to overcome health complications rather than in any religious context. I should know - I had it done because of inflammation of the glans.

I can see why men might find it a frightening prospect, and I can see the arguments against coercion of those too young to make a decision. But male and female 'circumcision' being the same, or even remotely similar beyond the fact they're both popularly referred to as 'circumcision'? Big 'nah' I'm afraid.

Smacks of phallus-worship to me, though it's amusing to see how exercised people can get about a (usually smelly) flap of skin.

Women I've known have always professed to prefer intact todgers... but am guessing there may be a certain amount of tailoring of opinions dependent on state of current penis.

Too right. It's not as if somebody's going to turn to me in the middle of fellatio and announce "I really wish you had a foreskin" is it?

Though I really don't think it's much of a factor with most penis-lovers, as long as it's kept clean.

 

[Pagey]

Seriously, come the join the thread in SLR
It's very passionate in there. It's funny how deeply some people appear to care about their foreskin.
