I mostly see these being marketed for concert-goers and stuff where the toilets are all filth-encrusted hellholes, which makes perfect sense to me. Nobody wants to park their rear end on a portapotty if they can help it.

some of them look like penises because that's the point of them (so trans men can use the urinals without getting outed, which is dangerous) but yeah the cardboard ones aren't willy-shaped

quote:

.President Warner noted that the naval blockade would be difficult politically, because of probable Russian reaction. Otherwise, he seemed ready to approve the plan. But his Secretary of Defense wanted to say something.

She had represented Harlem in Congress, and after her defeat by a Black Muslim candidate the administration had given her the defense job to maintain her visibility; she was one of its biggest supporters in the black community. The 42nd Division was her baby – in fact, she had carried several of its babies, until the abortionist had restored her shapely figure – and she wanted it to have its chance to shine.

“Mr. President,” said the Honorable Kateesha Mowukuu, “I am the only black woman at this table. We have heard what these white men have to say. I would remind you that in this war, white men are our enemy. Now you will hear what a black woman has to say, and I expect all of you to listen with respect.”

“Black people have been the only warriors in history. White men can’t fight. It’s because their noses are too small. Courage comes from the nose, not the heart, as the African spiritual healers you call witch doctors have long understood. That’s why black people eat their snot. What do you white folk do with your snot? You wrap it up in a little white surrender flag and put it in your pocket. So you don’t have no courage.

...Gunpowder was invented by ancient Zimbabwean scientists, who made it from elephant poo poo. You ever hear an elephant fart? Black scientists knew there had to be some juju behind that.”

All of America’s military heroes were black people. Washington was a black man. We know that because he came from Washington, D.C., which is a black city. General U.S. Grant had a black grandmother, and so did Robert E. Lee. In fact, it was the same black woman, which is why they looked so much alike. Eisenhower is really a black name, and General George Patton got his pearl-handled revolvers from his black grand-daddy, who took them off Simon Legree.”

This racist white-boy society of yours has dissed black men big-time. You’ve throw’d ‘em in jails and cut off their tails. You’ve put AIDS in their veins and cocaine in their brains. You’ve made black mean slack and crack, Jack, and we ain’t gonna take it no more.”

And now the black warriors of our black 42nd Division, which I will rename the 1st Division, will teach these Yankee racist, sexist, crackers what happens when they mess with black people,” Ms. Mowukuu concluded. “And they don’t need no help from nobody.”


this is a believable extract from a social sciences paper

Barn lifter does make sense, but that's also a ton of hard work. I wouldthink if you're going to mock them for something, it wouldn't be for something extremely difficult and that gives them the physical strength to kick the poo poo out of you.

That book is so stuffed with straw that I'm amazed two-ton hay bales don't come exploding out of it the second you open it (or bring it up on the Kindle, or whatever).

It's the strangest kind of writing; it somehow combines delusional fear with self-indulgence. It's like he's gnawing at his nails with one hand while furiously masturbating with the other.

So what happened? It sounds a lot like The Slap so far which was a major event in Australian Television im led to believe but died after like 2 episodes in the US because nobody gave a poo poo about slapping a kid.

The whole book kinda teases that one of the characters' kid dies but it turns out they just fell in a pool and are totally fine.

It's just awful for the sake of being awful. It's several hundred pages of an author really trying to avoid telling you things that all the characters already know in increasingly artificial ways.

it seems to be his idiotic attempt at writing a female character. like "what would a woman think about pissing while she is pissing? hmm she would probably be jealous of men pissing. those are the all-consuming thoughts of her. that seems reasonable."

Sometimes I think people dig a little too hard to make the author into a shithead. Keep in mind, they read it and I didn't.
