you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

this is not a tamale



they need to get a picture of the tamales that street vendors sell that are about the same size and weight as a lead pipe



in my head, the word "tamale" always sounds like it's being said by marco rodrigo diaz de vivar gabriel garcia marquez

Additional Notes [edit]

In the film, Wild Bill Hickok often wears dark glasses. There is a factual basis to this characterization. In 1876, Hickok was diagnosed by a doctor in Kansas City, Missouri, with glaucoma and 'ophthalmia'. Actually, he was probably afflicted with trachoma, a common vision disorder of the time.

A jocular use of a form of the rhyme by a Southwest Airlines flight attendant, encouraging passengers to sit down so the plane could take off, led to a 2003 lawsuit charging the airline with intentional infliction of emotional distress and negligent infliction of emotional distress. Two versions of the rhyme were attested in court; both "Eeny meeny miny mo, Please sit down it's time to go" and "Pick a seat, it's time to go". The passengers in question were African American and stated that they were humiliated due to what they called the "racist history" of the rhyme. A jury returned a verdict in favor of Southwest and the plaintiffs' appeal was denied.[14]

i understand why they were offended, but it is super possible to not know the crazy racist background of that rhyme

whatever racist subtly changed it to "catch a tiger by the toe" was pretty clever

lol the people spreading that urban legend thing that people would make a day of lynchings, like take the kids down and hang a black guy while they'd just have a bunch of sandwiches and complain about ants

http://www.snopes.com/language/offense/picnic.asp

edit: super lol:

quote:

But Zaheer Mustafa, the equity officer, nevertheless decreed that "picnic" not be used because "the point is — the word offends." So the university decided to call it an "outing." Then, homosexual students took objection to that, and SUNY decided to publicize the event without using any noun to describe it.

i don't get people who protest things that they could do a basic google on and find out they aren't true

cool mom chat: my mom is a very conservative christian, and my brother wanted to play DnD. she said "dont play that now i heard it was like satanic or whatever", but then she actually went to the internet and read that most of that stuff was urban legend and said "oh, none of that is true, go ahead and play"

actually in our modern culture the word has multiple definitions, including revealing something that someone is keeping secret

either way to be offended by the word is to be foolish
