Oh honey, no, just no
Just stop. Some turds just can’t be shined no matter how hard you scrub.
K-Lo, National Sad Old People:
Making Noise in Rio
All right, old people, we need to have a sit down.
Speaking as someone who is regarded, at least by my students, as an ancient fogey, I understand the impulse to try and connect with the younger generations. To try and figure out their cultural touchstones, the media by which they develop their morals, and possibly most importantly, their attitudes about traditionally oppressed cultures. I get it. Often it’s a noble action, intended to prevent the cruel cycle of blame and envy that often gets heaved downward as each previous generation bashes the one after for “ruining America”.
That all said, there are two ways to go about this check-in. There is the correct way, full of genuine curiosity and a willingness to learn and not judge (after all, nearly all of us listened to shit when we were kids) and allow the experience of being pleasantly surprised.
And then there’s the wrong way.
Shorter (or the last port before Jungle):
- You know what the kids these days are all into? Nope, not Black Veil Brides*, nor the beginning of 90s nostalgia. Nope! It’s sweaty old pedophiles babbling about how “jiggy” it is to never have consensual sex for the rest of your life and thus stay pure for your rapist pastor! Yup the Catholic Church is where it’s “groovy” to be young.
Oh, Lord in Himmel, is there a wrong way!
So yeah, K-Lo’s been pimping (oh my and how) the Catholic Church rather hardcore (mua ha ha, my asexual campaign to destroy all sexuality is progressing along fabulously (oh my)) for quite a long while now. In fact, it’s actually rather difficult to find the last post she’s written for the “I can’t believe they get paid that much for the job they do” Review that wasn’t a love letter to Child Molestors Anonymous or one of their splinter hate groups and propaganda centers.
But now, she’s desperately trying to spin her former Nazi high fuhrer… I mean child molestation co-conspirator… I mean pope deciding to quit being “God’s chosen condom” leaving the Church heads to jump into damage control mode stat as some grand revitalization (in the more literal sense) of the Catholic Party. Cause, slightly younger Pope apparently means that Catholicism is James Dean and Franz Liszt and whoever it is that the kids shamefully masturbate to these days (while imagining the eternal hellfire that is their penance for doing so).
But hey, what do I know? I mean, I don’t really check out churches that much, because of that little issue where I tend to burst into flames if I cross the threshold of holy ground (I mean, once I turned out to be a trans poly atheist, well… you can do the math), so maybe they all look like a tumblr tag these days.
So what the hell, K-Lo! Give me your best pitch!
When Pope Francis met with Argentinean youth in Rio Thursday, he announced some of his expectations for the World Youth Day events that would unfold in the subsequent hours and days:
… woo.
I’m sorry, I must still be too young, because I already fell asleep when you were describing that… swell… shindig.
On MSNBC and elsewhere, Pope Francis has been referred to in recent days as a “rock star.”
…Pope Francis?
Rock star?
The parallels have never been so staggering.
Others have referred to him as the Tom Jones of the papacy,
Tom Jones? Really? This is your epic powerhouse of a panty-melting rock star? The one whose face-melting solos drive the young girls wild?
Fuck, Tom Jones was slow as molasses back when he was a jockstrap-melting heartthrob. Who was your backup? James Taylor? John Mellencamp? Jimmy Buffet? 80s era Chicago?!?
as people threw t-shirts at his open-air popemobile – which I am pretty sure is a papal first.
Given the Church’s rather public stance on women’s bodies, I’d pretty much assume that was a protest unless told otherwise by the participants.
Also, bitch please. Actual rockstars used to have panties thrown on stage. Then they had cooked pasta and dead bats thrown on stage. By this point, shirts are so far behind the curve that it’s in danger of being lapped (oh my count: 3).
But to think that World Youth Day or the Catholic Church today is about the person of Pope Francis, Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Buenos Aires, who just returned to the continent of his birth for the first time since leaving for the papal conclave after Pope Benedict’s shocking resignation news just before Lent, is to misunderstand what we have witnessed and what is going on — in Rio, Rome, and the universal Church.
Yeah, I don’t think anyone stuck in the sunk costs cult that is the Catholic Church wants to dwell too long on that “shocking” resignation and what exactly it means for the illusion of the “Godly authority” that the Church has used to justify its horrendous and multitude crimes against humanity.
Feeling a little more worldly, ain’t you, you child rape enabling fucks?
World Youth Day in Rio was a snapshot in countercultural renewal.
Okay, admittedly, it is due to my rather… shall we say, unique frame of reference, but when I think Rio or rather Brazil in general. I don’t exactly think “snapshot of countercultural renewal”.
Sorry Brazilian anarchists.
Young people want something better than false freedom and something less than true love,
What the fuck does that even mean?!?
as Pope Francis put it at various points during the weekend.
Buzzwords, buzzwords, buzz-words. Humming words. Hummer words. Hummers (DING: 4).
The more than three million who gathered Sunday are rebels and theirs was quite a yell — a Heavenly opus, binding the evil agenda of Hell.
Ooh, a Billy Idol reference. Getting closer. You’re only about 30 years behind popular culture now. At this rate you might even hit the right millenium before your dignity catches up with you (hint: it’s not actually trying to chase after you, it’s well rid of your pale ass).
Pope Francis was able to actually break into mainstream TV news early in the week because of the security concerns raised after his window-rolled-down Fiat made a wrong turn, attracting swarms of people on the streets of Rio hoping to touch the successor of Peter, get a picture of him, or have their baby blessed — and kissed – by the pontiff.
Yes, because the hermetically sealed Pope’s visit to South America (one of the few areas where people can be bothered to care in large numbers) never EVER used to make the cable news stations back in the day… like every time it occurred, like clockwork… fuck, they probably just reused their old graphics.
And there was an unmistakable lesson in the surprises, and his peace with them. (If it involved more people having access to him, he clearly welcomed the changes to plans, having referred to being caged at least once publicly during the week.) Rain plagued most of the week and lead to location changes.
OH NOES! Turly his holisticness understands the plight of the people. His million dollar cock-mobile was plagued with RAIN! He might have gotten wet!
Well, not him, but maybe one of his many servants or some of the old ladies hoping for the single glance their direction which would let them rationalize living a sad empty life devoid of passion slightly easier.
AND NO ONE ON THE PLANET HAS EVER SUFFERED WORSE THAN THAT!
(Also TRIGGER WARNING on that last link for horrifying images and descriptions… also I’m not entirely sure it isn’t a link to a hate site…)
It was an exhausting, emotional, frank, invigorating week.
… (And… 5! Apologies to whatever libidos any of you may still have possessed.).
The theme was one of evangelical Catholicism,
Cause what the world needs is more fucking evangelicals running around.
as George Weigel has referred to the missionary work of the Church at the present moment, in an increasingly secular world where even Christians have fallen into secular habits and routines that have rendered all too many of us practical atheists (a John Paul II phrase) rather than disciples who have freely surrendered to a belief in God’s countercultural mission for each individual life.
Yes, a tendency to live secular lives insted of devoting one’s every second to the expansion of a child rape cult is clearly the GREATEST problem facing the Catholic Church at the moment.
Sheesh… and you fuckers wonder why you’re bleeding followers in the First World at the moment.
And on Friday night, when preaching after the Stations of the Cross, he pointed to the message of the recent encyclical, The Light of Faith, almost entirely written by Pope Benedict XVI:
Meet the new boss, same as the old boss. Whoops, sorry, that reference might just be too “edgy” for the kids and their Lawrence Welk rockstar worshipping ways.
And he challenged the World Youth Day pilgrims in the most intimate of ways:
Church head’s intimacy! DO NOT WANT!
the Cross of Christ invites us also to allow ourselves to be smitten by his love,
(Oh my count is now at 6).
The heart of this year’s papal World Youth Day program was centered on prayer and sacrament: The message clearly being: You can’t give what you don’t have.
Well, that might resonate with the kids these days, what with them being incredibly broke thanks to the callous Chicago School bullshit that’s being pushed everywhere. Hey, maybe you should actually pay more than lipservice to all that economic justice bullshit your Church used to spout before it became the all-child-rape, all-preventing-women’s-rights channel.
Just you know, as a thought.
And for those who watched this, the 28th World Youth Day, wondering if it might just be the kind of experience a young person in your life might benefit from,
Protip (7): If you’re trying to paint your super cool “I don’t at all miss exploring my sexuality” shindig as the hip new thing that the kids today are twitter trending flash mob something somethinging? Try not to squeeze in a desperate hard-sell to the kids because even you can tell your average age is pushing 90.
Might make things a little easier to swallow (and lack of gag reflex for the 8).
The prospective combination of Pope Francis and Saint John Paul II, with the prayers of Benedict XVI from a convent in Rome or from the wedding feast beyond, promises to be spiritually explosive.
It will surely roxxorz the soxxorz off the ideal 15-19 demographic… I mean, teh kidz.
So much of the conventional view of the Church lately has been one of a Church of no, irrelevant to the times.
Nah? Really?
You don’t say!
What to make of World Youth Day? What happens the morning after?

The missionary call is to propose the answers the faith provides by being a living witness to it with joy, in full knowledge of the pain
And greedy sub Jesus for the 10! I’m out, bitches (and oh how you know it, ding 11. Yes, I go out odd!)

Sigh.
And the title on this post knocks me back to even with 12.

Greatest superband since Blind Faith.
so, what kind of penance does k-lo have to perform daily to atone her of her popelust?
The worst penance of all, she has to be K-Lo.
I sincerely hope the assembled masses had fun at World Youth Day. I hope they found it inspirational and thought-provoking and I hope it brought them together. I hope the pope delivered, bigtime. Also, I hope a few of them hooked up while in Rio, and have fond lifelong memories of having done so.
That said, J-Lo is attempting the impossible, and she’s not up to the challenge. I’m embarrassed for her, because she only succeeds in demonstrating that she’s inadequate and unaware of it.
I’m not talking about the relevance or currency of her pop culture references — I don’t care. We should all wake up to the fact that access to centuries of media makes hanging out exclusively at the tail-end seem like the epitome of teenage folly. For Christ’s sake, live like your music is the whole 20th century, and you’ll find no end of sonic soulmates. That’s never been true of the top 20. Innovation is rarer than we’re told, etc.
J-Lo’s real problem is that she’s a catholic who wants to sell reactionary conservatism in a Dionysian package. Sublimation of desire, whatever its uses, does not rock. Becoming a monk or a nun is not wicked cool. It’s something else that should be promoted on its merits or not at all.
I could go on and on but first I’d like J-Lo to consider why and how appeals to Christian virtue weren’t always some sort of confusing faux-metaphorical “wine, women, and song” of the spirit. Sure, young people’s options were different in the Dark Ages, but Christian rhetoric used to convince teenagers to give up [open] sex and cloister themselves.
In J-Lo’s writing we see a degenerate phase in otherworldly appeals.
Catholics should have to avoid things with “youth” in the title.
Also re: K-Lo’s mention of the recurring “the Church is not an NGO” theme. This is one of Francis’ soundbites – that the Church needs spiritual renewal because without faith it is but a “compassionate NGO” (although many would challenge teh “compassionate” part). Anywho, I mention this because I wanted to link this bit where Francis says what teh Church is.
Uh,,, I’ll leave this comment at that – I gots some serious plannings to do.

Who wants the Pope to spiritually explode all over them?

What did you think I meant?
I’ll do Francis proud and fill teh Church’s seminaries.
What the world is so fascinated by in Pope Francis is that combination of love, self-sacrifice, humility, and truth-telling that marks authenticity. His style and temperament only help with the hearing
also, that he’s not totally creepy looking…
is anyone else a little squicked out about all the ‘love’ the pope and k-lo keep banging on about?
oh…gross…

It’s like a friend of mine who was brought up as a Pentecostal used to say:
“There’s only one reason kids join the youth groups, and it ain’t for the theology, folks.”
Young people want something better than false freedom and something less than true love,
What the fuck does that even mean?!?
As always, it sounds better in the original German.
She’s dredging up one of Hegel’s old arguments that “following your personal choices” is only false freedom, and real freedom consists of having an absolute monarchy telling everyone what to do.
What young people want is pompous fools to stop making sweeping generalizations about what young people want.
What young people want is to be sexually assaulted, and then watch the priest who sexually assaulted them be protected from prosecution by the Catholic Church hierarchy.
Cool!
K-Lo = Pastor Swank + syntax.
Cerb, this may be a rude question, …[editor, yes it is.]
Freedom of choice
Is what you got
Freedom from choice
Is what you want
POPEVOLTRON!

damn you! i have been trying to think of something witty and clever about the trifecta…i guess the only thing now is to not cross the streams…
DataSnake-
Cerb, this may be a rude question,
EXTERMINATE! EXTERMINATE! Oh, wait, I should probably hear the question first… Okay, shoot.
but I have to ask: how can you be asexual AND poly?
Let me answer your second question first and come back to it.
I thought being asexual meant you didn’t want any partners by definition.
Not really. Being asexual means you do not experience sexual attraction. So the whole, whoa, I’ll be in my bunk thing? Not really my wavelength. But that doesn’t mean I’m not at all interested in romantic relationships. I can still fall in love. I just can’t have any sexual chemistry with anyone.
What you are probably thinking of are people who are aromantic asexuals. These are people who not only do not experience sexual attraction to anyone else, but also have no desire to form romantic relationships with other people. They do not fall in love or seek out relationships of any model. And they do not miss these things, because much like asexuals in general, they never had the “impetus” to miss them.
So back to the first question.
but I have to ask: how can you be asexual AND poly?
It’s WAY more common than you think. Largely because if you are in a mixed orientation relationship (partners are of incompatible sexual orientations), it can be a great way to remove the sexual pressure from the equation and ensure that the sexual (a person who experiences sexual attraction, it can be hetero, homo, bi, pan, whatever) partner is not denied the ability to explore sexual relationships if they so please, without sacrificing the romantic attraction and relationship. (Some asexuals may also perform certain sexual acts, usually for their own non-sexual reasons or because they derive intellectual satisfaction from their partner’s pleasure, but it’s not the dominant model and again, it is devoid of non-faked chemistry).
Without getting too much into the TMI and making this a short novel (too late), my relationship with my partner opened up largely because of a firm belief on my part that she should be able to explore sexual chemistry and attractions freely. For most of my poly relationship, that has been the main model, her having multiple partners and me having her (though theoretically open to other people). Very recently, I acquired a girlfriend at the girlfriend store, with whom I have similar romantic connection with, and yeah.
That’s me. Other people may have other models. Such as desire to build a poly tribe in general, because they are massive cuddle sluts (all the cuddles!), because they are romantically attracted to multiple people, because they are inherently polyamorous, or because such arrangements are emotionally and intellectually satisfying.
And that seemed fairly long, so I’ll leave it there.
Cerb, you’re awesome, and SUCH a born teacher. I mean, who else gets asked a reeeeeally personal question and instead of getting offended or just ignoring it explains. WITH LINKS.
In the context of the Raped Child Corporation this comment is mucky.

One of the best turns of phrase that my Dad taught me was “slipperier than a preacher’s tool at a camp meeting.” That’s even slipperier than snot on a glass doorknob. Yes, “slipperier” is the idiom, rather than “more slippery.” Suck it, pedants.
That’s even slipperier than snot on a glass doorknob
Wouldn’t that be dependent on temperature?
If it was only colder than a well-digger’s ass, sure.
But if it was colder than a witch’s tit in a brass bra, the snot would be frozen solid to the doorknob.
Wow–that disappeared fast. Moderators are COLD BLOODED KILLAS.

So far I have been a fan of kitten-izing, but that was last week before I went away for a while and ran a really, really long way and only lost one toenail (wanna see?

So this morning I wuz reading Max Barry’s Lexicon wherein I saw the following bit of dialogue: did you know that “awful” used to mean awe inspiring?. Yeah, verbatim.
While I have come to see “Morrisseying” as the best solution, sometimes it’s more satisfying to just nuke every comment in order to get him more and more upset. For instance, today he posted a bunch of comments on the last thread and he devolved into merely pasting the same two comments, while stealing P-UNE’s ‘nym. If you want, I can untrash them so you can see how low he sunk.
Sadly, he wasn’t driven to a meLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLtdown, which I would have left untouched.
Exactly. And you would have brought the naaarsty drippy things back into the nice clean blog and the kittens would have rolled in them and Morrissey would have sung sad songs about them.
Having said all of that, I am now seized with an urge to see if there are any Klo Mangoes.

What the fuck is it with trolls strolling in uninvited to a party of people that loathe them, taking a crap in the punchbowl and having the gall to be butthurt when they are removed by the bouncer? Do they show up drunk and belligerent to AA meetings with a bottle of scotch and call the people there pussies if they won’t do shots with him? Do they challenge the court ordered psychiatrist to a fistfight to prove they aren’t violent assholes? How far does their pointless and destructive contrarianism extend? What is the fucking point to the abusive and abuse seeking behavior? Is it just another form of addiction like picking scabs or huffing paint that they get get to indulge in for 36 hours at a stretch now that they are out of prison and can resume cooking in the comfort of the more or less abandoned trailer that’s out back of the rendering works that for lack of a better term they call home?

Wow. That really wouldn’t have been less understandable if it had been written in a foreign language I don’t speak.
I’d say that was pretty much unencumbered by the thought process.
Isn’t that all part of the act? The grace note to a performance that involves writing ADORE ME, DAMN IT! in 5′ high letters on the walls with poop.
It’s just the pointlessness of it that confuses me. Calling global warming a myth isn’t going to keep Miami from washing away in the next 50 years. Calling Obama a socialist isn’t going to get him impeached. Calling for tax cuts for the rich, and cuts to food stamps and welfare isn’t going to do anything to improve the economy.
The so called ‘hippies’ on the left have been correct on every freaking issue, from the environment to the economy to climate change to civil rights and on and on and on. So, why the fuck do conservatives insist on dismissing the advice of the people who have been right all along and dragging the country through twenty years of denial and foot dragging and profiteering by the same industries that created these problems in the first place? Only a tiny fraction of them are getting in on the looting, and the rest of them will be just as screwed as the rest of us when each of these issues blows up in America’s face.
Is tribal identity so freaking important that they have to shoot themselves in the foot every time? Why doesn’t the tea party, the republican party and conservatism in general just rename itself “the willfully stupid, ignorant and wrong all the goddamn time on every issue more important than professional football” party?

I also seem to be overly enamored with kittens.
H.M. you’re expecting reason. These people are this close to drinking bleach if Obama said not to just to show that uppity you know what he’s not in charge.
So, yes. The analogy of the drunk asshole at an AA meeting is a really good one.
OMG, firemen and kittens! Kittens and firemen!

Is tribal identity so freaking important that they have to shoot themselves in the foot every time?
It certainly is. Even at the more moderate level.
RommelThe Tea Party knows this, and they know people don’t show up for primaries. So they get their psycho baggers nominated, and even people who have trouble identifying with the right wing of the Repunk party will still vote for them because GAYZ GETTIN’ MARRIED AND SUCH.It’s all a game. They don’t even pay enough attention to realize they’re shoving their own future right into the gilded pockets of JP Morgan FACE and Goldman Sachsoshit.

Hey B^4, I’ve got $1,000 that says you’re a fucking liar about me being the onlt troll who posts and here and what youve accused me of, and I’ll give you 10-1 odds.
Are you game? I don’t lie and I don’t welch on bets.
Easy money for you if you think you’re being on the level with you buds here. Don’t be a coward about it.
Here’s a guy who says he doesn’t lie, but he’s posted under more than a half-dozen ‘nyms in the week I’ve had a peek behind the curtain, and has used multiple e-mail addresses, even though his IP and his MO have never changed.
Leaping Kitten!

I’m increasingly irked with science-deniers’ (and wingnuts generally) adoption of the “skeptic” mantle. We know how skepticism works, what serious inquiry looks like. Whether someone’s walking the skeptical walk is not just a matter of opinion, or an affectation. Blah, can’t rant.
Also? KITTENS!
KITTEN WAR!
Hark, I hear the cannon roar!
Kitties!
“Anti-intellectualism has been a constant thread winding its way through our political and cultural life, nurtured by the false notion that democracy means that ‘my ignorance is just as good as your knowledge.’”

The best deleted comment was the one posted at 19:17, because every once in a while Dennis tries to play the Emperor trying to woo someone to the Dark Side, or to make an insinuation that a commenter is not a member of the “hot tub club” in order to peel them away. Here, Dennis makes an appeal to a regular, whose name I have edited out:
**REDACTED** seriously, don’t become a loser chickenshit moderator
Then things take a turn for the surreal, considering that he has had 35 comments nuked in the course of this 24 hour period…

Yes, he gets 35 posts nuked and calls someone out for not working.

“The prospective combination of Pope Francis and Saint John Paul II, with the prayers of Benedict XVI from a convent in Rome or from the wedding feast beyond, promises to be spiritually explosive.”
Given their respective histories, I’d expect nothing less than a kiddie-touching Nazi-themed self-flagellation orgy.
Here it is, your moment of Den:

Have they actually canonized JPII already? I know they’ve been talking about dong it since he died, the better to give weight to his reactionary politics, but already? They aren’t even bothering to pretend, any more, are they?
As far as I know he hasn’t even been beatified yet, but there have been a couple of miracles claimed to have taken place through his intercession. I think he’ll be canonized within our lifetimes.

There are now enough mods to handle the troll- I think continually rubbing his face in the fact that he’s posting 35 comments a day, yet continues to claim that he’s got a high-powered job and can “buy and sell” us all, is a good solution. He recently “bet” me $10,000 that he can prove he’s not responsible for all that trollery. Any person in their right mind who had $10,000 that they could blithely gamble away would damn well have better things to do than to troll a blog all damn day.

I hope you’re right. I wore ’em for years before LASIK in 2005. It’s creepy to see just the edge of the lens way, way off to the side of the eye. Nothing a finger can do to move it at that point. I don’t miss all that a bit.

The one about guitar strings?
Not for nothing, but I find the fact that you and he know so much about each other and make nothing of that fact to be creepy as hell. The closest parallel I have to it is my friendship with N__B, who lives a few miles away, and with whom I have met for a beer on more than a few occasions. The difference, though, is that he and I like each other.
Really, man, you need to break up with the guy, so to speak. He’s nothing but a psychic vampire, like something out of the sort of urban horror tale Fritz Leiber would be writing if he were alive today… a “Smoke Ghost” for the internet age.

Yeah, the little kid ones are. The big adult ones aren’t.
Tsam if it is any comfort, I think everyone of either gender has been photographed in such duds. Did you have Buster Brown shoes?
Sadly, yes. Once upon a time the lady who lived behind me had a boyfriend. A very, very, very, very, hairy boyfriend. Who liked to walk around in front of uncurtained windows in just his undies. Now she has a new boyfriend. Who is evidence she likes ’em hairy. But at least this one keeps his shirt on unless he’s doing yard work. And I rarely look out the back windows these days. For some reason.
Years ago, in Myrtle Beach, I rented a sweet beach tricycle- two wheels in front, one rear wheel, and a canvas sling to recline in. It was a hell of a lot of fun to ride.

I have very scant body hair in the front, none on my back, and I’m relatively thin (Certainly not toned).
I still REFUSE to walk around without a shirt on unless I’m going in the pool or lake RIGHT NOW.
And I do NOT wear wifebeaters or tanks–and would never dream of wearing any such thing out of the house. That’s gross.
I have made bibimbap but only a few times and that was when I lived in a town which, unlike PDX, did not have excellent Korean restos on every block. Similarly the bulkogi. Mmmmmm now I have to hit the Koi Fusion cart for lunch – yummy bulkogi tacos. Three for seven bux. With kim-chee.
I had Buster Browns. Also a purple suit.

Yeah, but they’re talking about when they were kids.
“Wifebeaters” are what I call just “undershirts” like Dagwood Bumstead wore, right? I never saw my Dad in anything but T-shirts—he was born in 1913 and he was too young to wear such a thing. Where would you even get them?
Stride-Rites
I think the modern definition of a wifebeater is the t-shirt with the sleeves sawed off.
Tank tops also fall into this category, and are often referred to as wifebeaters as well. I think most men born prior to WWII wore the tank as an undershirt.
Undershirt, cool. By themselves, showing your nasty, hairy armpits to everyone at the grocery store, not so much.

Well I don’t remember Dagwood wearing those undershirts, just the bow tie. “Wifebeaters” were known as “Dago Tees” when I was younger because Italians wore them (didn’t even know Dago was a slur until I was in my teens, that’s just what we called the shirts)
I grew up in a hellishly hot place. You get used to seeing shirtless males of all descriptions, or wearing the thin white undershirts (with or without sleeves). Chest hair shows right through ’em. Indoors, lotsa people can’t afford the degree of air conditioning they’d like. I don’t expect them to cover up — I didn’t.
whoa…just another reason that men shouldn’t all be allowed to walk around shirtless…sorry about your eyes
I don’t go outside shirtless. I don’t need some “Bigfoot Hunters” from the Discovery Channel chasing me around with a camera.

Or taken down with tranquilizer darts. NOT COOL.
If it is so hot that you must take off items of clothing or you’ll die or whatever, you will be pretty sweaty. So even if you are super buff dude, you will smell. (And some of you, no offense, leave scent trails thick enough for a human to follow.) Also, sweaty armpit hair. Over all experience for those around you: Yick.
And outside of NYC I can’t remove my shirt if I get hot. So I question shirt removal as a necessary survival tactic.
I don’t remember any of my childhood shoes excepting the one pair of pre-Hammer BK’s. I ended up burying them in Algonquin Park during a canoe trip.
Oh my.
So even if you are super buff dude, you will smell.
Not if they have crumbly earwax.
Against my better judgement: Please explain the crumbly earwax/body odor connection.
So I question shirt removal as a necessary survival tactic.
In 110-120 degree weather, you’re sweaty regardless. A thin white shirt IS better than shirtless. But yeah, people are sweaty and smelly. If your employment and lifestyle allows, you can be sorta nocturnal, when the temp is only 90+. I used to enjoy leaping in a (hot) swimming pool a half dozen times a day or more, just to rinse off.
It’s a genetic thing, with only one allele difference in a certain transport gene. Asians almost all have the crumbly/no BO recessive trait, Europeans are a mix but mostly dominant wet/stinky, and Africans are almost all dominant. Scientists figure the mutation was in Asia ~2000 generations ago and is slowly spreading due to a slight fitness advantage it also gives.
Only underarm odor is affected, FWIW, not feet or naughty bits. So yeah, they’d still get stinky, just not where the wifebeater would let it out.
One time on a motorcycle trip I shared a motel room with my brother. My boots smelled SO BAD I had to put them in the mini-fridge. I suspect they replaced it later when the next person to open it passed out from the lingering stank. I do not have crumbly earwax.
Yes, I don’t think I’m able to be body area specific when I detect b.o. Although naughty bits funk can be rather distinctive. And of course, feet.
Genes also can’t counteract things like diet and smoking, I assume. That is, anyone who has a bunch of beers and smokes the night before will still be whiffy post-shower the next day.
BTW, thanks for the info. It will help me select train seats when it is hot.
I suspect they replaced it later
Oh sure, just like how they replace the ice bucket if you puke in it.
No, it only affects the bacteria-based underarm odor, recessive-type folks can still smell like garlic or fenugreek or any number of highly stinky things.
What do the stinkiest among us think of cilantro?
They have some socks that use the bacteriostatic effect of silver incorporated into the fabric to make socks that don’t get stinky.

The saucier Santorum angle was Liberals make it uncomfortable to shower at the Y.
A sweater vest and an erection make it uncomfortable, too.
I read on, hoping the anecdote that led to Santorum’s observation about the Y would be something like my scenario. At the very least, I hoped some naked liberal cornered him in the shower for a debate on the issues. But no, it’s some sort of boring secondhand story about Students for Life (not Rick S.) that I suspect is distorted and confabulated beyond whatever happened.

Everyone I’ve ever known that has rubbed a contact above the iris has described the feeling of having a furryass ferret stuck up in there, wiggling around and biting stuff.
One morning long ago, in my debauched youth, I awoke hungover the morning after a night of heavy drinking, many bong hits, sweaty sex, and subsequent comatose sleep to find something irritating my left eye. I looked in the mirror, I was a mess. My head was pounding, I had cottonmouth, and both eyeballs ached. And I had a class in less than an hour, halfway across town.
Looking closer, I found a hair in my left eye – a thick, straight black one. “Heh,” I thought, “I got one of her pubes in my eye.”
I carefully tried to fish it out, but it resisted. It was literally (not figuratively) wrapped axially around the eyeball. Pulling harder, it slid out like a strand of spaghetti with more than a slight tickling: a straight, glossy, thick black hair about 10″ long. Not one of mine, but a hair from my girlfriend’s head.
To this day, there has been absolutely NO plausible explanation as to how it got wrapped around my eye like that…
(Oh, and I’ve been wearing extended-wear soft contacts for over 20 years, and every time I’ve thought that the contact had slid around out of sight, it had really just fallen out.)

Were you partying with a bunch of optho surgery students? Maybe that’s their fucked up way of chiefing instead of drawing dicks on your forehead?
I awoke hungover the morning after a night of heavy drinking, many bong hits, sweaty sex, and subsequent comatose sleep
Sigh. I’ve led a boring life.
My gf brought home some leftover shrimp dish from a family BBQ recently that had a lot of cilantro in it, and for the first time I was able to detect that soapy flavor people complain about. In fact it tasted like there was so much Sen-Sen in it.
I’m told if you chop cilantro you’ve got to dump it in your hot liquid right away—if you let it oxidize even a couple of minutes that’s what happens. Been lucky up to now, I guess.
What do the stinkiest among us think of cilantro?
Well, I can get pretty stinky, usually with the aroma of swamp-ass, started growing back hair around age 40, and have mostly crumbly earwax, and I do NOT think very highly of teh cilantro.
Especially not the way the local latino short order cooks pile it on their food here.
Love the cumin, though. Tex Mex rocks.
a bunch of optho surgery students?
No. Fine arts majors mostly.
I quickly discovered the fine arts girls were both hedonistic and generally uninterested in superficial courtship customs.
Sigh. I’ve led a boring life.
OK, then in pity I won’t tell you about the time I thought I lost an improvised sound.
More important than oxidation is the age of the cilantro plant when harvested. As it bolts to seed leaf flavor degrades.
Aw, looks like B4?s got himself a new friend.
Holy catfish, I actually have a good two-hour run at work when I am completely occupied, and I come back to find I missed a trollsplosion?

As a New Yorker (and more importantly, someone who spent much of the 90s alternating between dealing with shady lawyers who saw me as an adversary, rather than an information gatherer, and getting the crap beaten out of me by a 6′ 6″, 280 lb Serbian asskicker), I have a VERY thick skin. I think the fact that the troll knows he can’t get a rise out of me chaps his ass.
My best shithead lawyer story involves an interview I had to conduct with a guy who had had a heart attack on the job. The interview was basically to determine how much of the claim would be covered by NY State’s Second Injury Fund, to which all insurance companies contributed. The lawyer decided he’d try to rattle me by calling me incompetent, and ignorant of the law.
I sat for a good five minutes while he continued his tirade, and he started to get miffed. He said, “You don’t want to show it, but you’re steamed, you’re really mad now,” I merely smiled and told him, “No, I’m not steamed, this is billable time for me, so you go on as long as you want.”
Since his fee would be merely a percentage of any settlement, this shut him up pronto.
As far as the Serbian guy was concerned, I have a bunch of great stories about him.
Yeah, some dickwad typing out dumb shit on the internet doesn’t even register. Oddly enough, he seems to become enraged pretty easily, something which I find extremely amusing.
Mmm. Cilantro. I can understand why people object. It smells and tastes like warm plastic with a dash of stainless steel and a soupçon of dish soap. But that just means more for me.
I didn’t like cilantro at all the first couple times I had it, then it was edible but not great, then total addict. Indian pickles hit me the same way, and now avocados appear to be moving onto the acceptable food list.

It has the aroma of a freshly stomped brown marmorated stink bug. When I first tried it, I thought it had a “soapy”, but not unpleasant, flavor. I like it, but I love the flavor of the seeds so much that I buy one pound bags of coriander at the IndoPak store.
Then again, I have the discriminating palate of a shark.

I’ll eat pho and fresh salad rolls and a decent burrito needs a bit of cilantro. Still, do not like the stuff, especially considering how amazetastic coriander is.
Speaking of food, I’m at a new (to me) BBQ joint. WHY TEH HELL DID YOU PEOPLE NOT TELL ME ABOUT RAW GARLIC IN BAKED BEANS!!!! So fucking good!
zomg. I have been garlic-ing teh beans before baking for years, constantly adding more and more garlic to try and get some flavour. Fucking raw garlic! What the effing hell!?!?
I’d be mad if it weren’t for just having had the most amazing beans evar.

Because you stink.
Oh, we’ll I guess that’s all right then. But seriously, good fucking beans.

When I was a kid in Vermont my dad was in the local volunteer firefighters who to build a station and buy a truck did the only thing they knew; bean suppers every Saturday for a year. As the dairy farmer that lived next door to us said, “I’ll be glad when they finally buy that truck so I don’t have to pay $2 for my own wifes beans.”

Reading some old naturalist I found that the eastern bobolink, known as ‘ricebirds’ back then were considered the American ortolan. Tempting.
You monster!
Wiki sez they were called “butterbirds” in Jamaica, where birds with their migratory fat were caught and eaten.
The fact is, global warming is a bunch of liberal hooey and biased.
Also, Bengazi, IRS Scandal, Fast and Furious, Socialism and He’s Black.
The fact is, Hilary is not fit to be a president afer she engineered Bangazi and killed Americans to justify socialism.
Like all our songbirds it’s difficult to imagine how incredibly many of them there were 150 years ago. The stories of the lengths the rice planters went to to protect their fields from huge, sky darkening flocks of bobolinks. Been birding since I was a wee twitcher and I’ve never seen more than 100 at a time.
Hillary engineering Ben Gazzara gave us the scandal that is Road House.
There should be a policy to stop mowing highway mediums (except for a shoulder on each side) in order to maintain a high-grass environment (and to save money) for songbirds.
The one that really breaks my heart is the extinction of the Carolina parakeet. In the NY metro area, the South American green monk parakeet has established several colonies, and they are very comical birds.
Poortolans. Followed by pasta with poorcini and poormesan.
I prefer Carolina pulled poork.
Given the policies now being enacted in North Carolina, there’ll be more poork to pull.
Things may be different in New York, but if that was done in the midwest, one wouldn’t be able to drive a mile without hitting a deer. Mowed shoulders and medians are the only way to detect those kamikaze ungulates.
Here in NY, there are plenty of deer by the side of the roads. The deer population is probably higher now than it was when the Europeans got here, due to more accessible foliage… and the deer are virtually fearless.
Maryland is increasing the number of No Mow zones in the medians, which are planted with native wild flowers. I wish they’d let trees grow up there.
Road House.
Extremism in the defense of awesome hair and muscles is no vice, sir.
I think they are going with wildflower plantings because they will be easier to maintain in the long run. Also, while any yutz can figure out what a tree is, native wildflowers are harder to ID, so the average person will just take a weed whacker to them without a second thought in an unprotected area.
Finally, the biome approximated by the highway median, cleared farm-and-meadowland, is rarer now in the post-agricultural East than it was even fifty years ago.
Why, yes, I am a total nerd… why do you ask?
Forests were actively managed by the pre-Colombian population, using fire, to maximize deer harvest. The debate about historical deer populations are contentious. The 150-200 years between the Native Americans being decimated by epidemic and European settling left a strange ecological chaos that we’re hearing echoes of. There were once bison here in the Okefenokee.
Pennsylvania has many more deer today than before the European invasion. I haz et quite a few. Yummy yummy Bambi.
Forests were actively managed by the pre-Colombian population, using fire, to maximize deer harvest.
Of course, a lot of that management was also in order to practice agriculture. Three sisters for the win!
I know an academic whose field of study is the effect of white tail browse on Pennsylvania botany. 30 years of field work. He would say that he’d like to see your research. PA rivals upstate NY for roadside deer havoc.

I’d love to see the statistics on the effect of overbrowsing with regards to the influx of invasive foliage. I know the Japanese knotweed is edible, but I get sick of looking at the stuff.
It could be that natural history pedantry is effective troll-be-gone or maybe there’s active cleanup going on.
Perhaps trolls are allergic to deer.

I don’t think Hegel came up with this: it seems of a piece with the Church’s scholastics’ ‘Right Reason’, which is reason which never in its use contradicts the opinions of the Church. ‘False freedom’ gives you choices that are bad (see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quanta_Cura#Opposition_to_freedom_of_conscience), ‘fundamentally disordered’ people can’t really be in love….
Lest I be over-content with mine own opinions and methods, I must point out that at times I have been one of those on the Left who see others as victims of false consciousness who are not ‘truly’ free because the set of choices they see have been constrained, either by actively eliminating some choices or by making them invisible…similarly, I have read in the past those who have said that ‘true’ love is impossible whenever there is a power-imbalance between the genders, so given that that were the case all over, no-one reading involved in such a relationship is experiencing ‘real’ love. (Better, I think, to say that one were not thinking or loving as well as one might due to false-consciousness or power imbalance, respectively…which still leaves the temptation to arrogance on the part of those who think we know better, but at least places those we think we’re doing it better-than on a continuum with us, not as different orders of being, and also brings in the possibility of humility when we slap our foreheads and think ‘Wait, that implies that there might be someone else on the same continuum who does that better than I do….)
there might be someone else on the same continuum who does that better than I do
