So I've finally managed to turn an intellectually stimulating, soul searching, revolutionary site, and reduce it to 3 little words

Badger badger badger

My work here is done

I didn't know kerrie and tsunami were women; I don't even know who entrophia is! Anyway, I haven't heard of it either, but with all those frivalous lawsuits...I bet the ACLU would back her for some reason too! (The age of consent doesn't matter, it'd be a harassment case, not a Kobe, I mean, rape case.)

Which is why one upright walking, hairy, bi-pedal creature who had the foresight to elicit descriptions of the site did not succumb to the game. I saw that episode, too.

I wrote that episode while I was badgering.

I wouldn't touch that one with a 10 foot pole while surrounded by a barbed wire, electrified fence. Nice try :wink:

I don't see why Gale has to put her own picture up there. Why can't she post her mother's picture?

Running joke between Zantra and myself that has evolved through many threads.



I can complain about your photo if you like.

Ambiguous by name, but not hermaphroditic, at last pit stop.

Oh, yes, and the Japanese sometimes give the badger human male attributes. With a name like Booda, one learns these things.

The badger site appeal reaches from the young set to the strung-out.

I'm not strung out, I'm just hyper:wink:

Old running joke between Zantra and myself. I once confessed I thought Patricia Richardson who plays the mom on Home improvement was very attractive. Zantra made a snide response about The Freudian Oedipus Complex. I have played along taking every opportunity I could find to show interest in mother figures. The joke has been on him: I am older than Patricia Richardson. For some reason he just assumed I was, like 20 or something.

Ya well there are more young people than mature people on here. Eventually I figured you were older, but I figured why kill the
joke? hehe. Anyhow, that's what that comment was about Gale:wink:

She's a babe! On the show, she had a down-to-earth "realness" that I also found attractive. :smile:

Hmm, instead of 'rock, paper and scissors' how about 'badger, mushroom and snake'?
