Click For Summary
The discussion centers around tasks perceived as unnecessary or time-wasting, with a strong consensus against folding underwear, which many participants find pointless. Making beds daily is also debated, with some arguing it should only be done for guests. Participants share personal habits, such as not folding certain clothes like bras and sweaters to save space, and preferences for how to manage laundry and cleaning tasks. The conversation humorously shifts to other mundane chores, like cleaning baseboards and grating cheese, with some expressing a desire to avoid these tasks altogether. The thread includes light-hearted banter and anecdotes about personal cleaning standards and experiences with pets, particularly cats and their litter boxes. Overall, the dialogue reflects a shared sentiment of questioning traditional household chores and the effort put into them.

Okay, given the way this thread is going, I don't know if I should even speak up here, but I'm quite surprised they actually said "masturbate the rhino," especially with cameras present. There are lingo/euphemisms that wouldn't raise much of an eyebrow if overheard by an audience. Usually, one would ask, "Who's going to collect the rhino." When working in zoos full of small children with big ears, it just sounds like you're going to lead the rhino into its pen. It's not done by hand, but using an AV (no, that's not referring to audio visual equipment) and the reason it's being used is for AI (not artificial intelligence).

And, no, I haven't bothered getting AI certification, so am content to let others do that job. I play more the role of the pimp or madam. :smile:

But don't you think a little Barry White would help the whole process? :biggrin:

Actually, I wanted to ask about that Moonbear. IIRC, they talked about electroejaculation, or electroejaculators, or maybe I just made up the word based on what I remember...

Also, I suspect that little scene was actually staged for the camera. You know, kind of like using an ET avatar just to be provocative. :rolleyes:

This reminds me of Woody Allen's Sleeper.

Barry White is definitely in order! Perhaps a few National Geographic magazines with some female rhino centerfolds might not be a bad idea either. Or some videos? :blushing:

Eeeeooooowwww! Yep, those things really exist, and people really use them. I'm not sure how frequently they are used in a zoo setting, perhaps more frequently than in a farm setting because the captive animals in zoos often need to be anesthetized just to handle them. In a farm setting, it's pretty rare. It is painful and there usually isn't any problem training bulls and stallions (the two species most commonly bred by AI) to use a mounting dummy.

It reminds me of "A Boy and His Dog", that movie made from Harlan Ellison's story.

That's the spirit! Maybe some scented candles and a backrub. None of this, "whose turn is it to masterbate the rhino" stuff.

Barry playing in the background..."Let the music play..."

Some candles glowing..."I just want to dance the night away..."

The music pulsating with the rythym... "Here, right here, right here..."

The scent of jasmine in the fragrant smoke..."is where I’m going to stay

Boom-chucka-wow-wow, "All night long...,"

Rhino love baby..." ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, wee"

Oh yeah. :cool:

Priceless ! :smile: If there's more rhinos in the party, I'd recommend Lionel Richie's version of 'All Night Long'.

Lionel Richie - All Night Long

Well, my friends, the time has come
To raise the roof and have some fun
Throw away the work to be done
Let the music play on
(play on, play on)
Everbody sing, everybody dance
Lose yourself in wild romance

We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come onand sing along!
We're going to party
Karamu, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing along!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)

People dancing all in the street
See the rhythm all in their feet
Life is good wild and sweet
Let the music play on
(play on, play on)
Feel it in your heart
And feel it in your soul
Let the music take control

We're going to party
Liming, fiesta, forever
Come on and sing my song!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)

Yeah, once you get started
You can't sit down
Come join the fun
It's a merry go round
Everyone's dancing
Their troubles away
Come join our party
See how we play!


Oh, yes
We're going to have a party!
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long! (all night)
All night long!

Everyone you meet
They're jamming in the street
All night long
Yeah, I said, everyone you meet
They're jamming in the street
All night long!
Feel good! feel good!

Oh yeah. :approve: If that doesn't get those rhinos going, nothing will.

Of course, Ravel's "Bolero" seems appropriate for some reason. Hey, it worked for Bo Derek & Dudley Moore in "Ten".

Well, are you intending it for home use or for someone you really don't like much? :smile:

In case you need help deciding between the two, here are some examples of how each is used:

Of course when they start leading it by its wiener the kids get suspicious.

Barry White is the mood maker (Well back in my day anyway). Don't you think the words work great?

Yes,but not with biologists sexually satisfying rhinos for the "scientific" purpose of "collecting"... :-p :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

Aargh ! I meant, "it didn't". As in "Bolero didn't real help them get it on". If I recall correctly, Bo seemed too into the music, and Dudley just gave up and walked out. :frown:

You don't get down to bolero. Malaguena maybe, but not bolero. :biggrin:

Oh, thanks. You just find the best sites to link us to.

If there were any of us left that hadn't been scarred by Artman's Barry White songs, you certainly finished the job.

I can't believe this thread hasn't been added to the General Discussion Classics (just so it's available to scar future members, you know). :smile:

You're welcome. :smile: I notice Ivan has been conspicuously silent about which one he wants after I posted those links. He's probably really afraid of which one Tsu wants to play with. :biggrin:

Sung to the tune of "Muskrat Love"

"Rhino Love"
By Artman

Rhino, rhino candlelight
Doin' the rhino and doin' it right
In the evenin'
It's pretty pleasin'

Rhino Susie, Biologist Sam
Grabin’ the rhino and give him a hand
And they shimmy
Sammy's hands are so chilly!

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

Grabin’ his bacon, churnin' his cheese
Sammy says to Susie "Honey, would you please be collected?"
And he say yes
That’s what I expected.

And now he's ticklin' his fancy
Rubbin' his toes,
electro ejaculators and bolero
As they wriggle, and Sue starts to giggle

And they whirled and they twirled and they tangoed
Listening to Barry and Bolero
Floatin' like the heavens above
It looks like rhino love

La da da da da ...

:!) :biggrin: :!)
