Stick It Up Your Butt
If God didn't want humans to fornicate each other through the a**hole, why did he or she put so many nerve endings down there? So we would know when we were farting, crapping, or, in a certain actor's case, when a Gerbal was climbing up there to next.— December 4, 2009 1:05 p.m.
Living DINOSAUR found!!!
It's a guilty pleasure. I like his ballads. I saw him in concert years ago and after he got singing a song called "IF I SHOULD LOVE AGAIN" all the women were crying and swooning. I thought to myself "wow, what a power!" I actually most ballads. From Manilow to, gasp, Air Supply to Celine Dion. I'll take a ballad over a rock/rap/country/polka song anytime.— December 4, 2009 1:01 p.m.

Thongification and Stick It up Your Butt? Is this an Aztec-theater double feature?— December 4, 2009 12:58 p.m.
Thongification of America
The nightmare teenager girl; 1. Wears a thong which you can see ride above her jeans. 2. Tattoo seen right above the thong line. 3. Tongue piercings. 4. Lip piercings. 5. Nose piercings. When I was walking through my daughter's high school, I saw many teenagers who would qualify by having all FIVE of those things I just listed. I can accept it because, hey, its high-school. But last year, when my daughter was in junior-high? Many of the 6-7-8 graders would have qualified as well. Are we raising a generation of sluts? Ho's? Hoochi-mamas? How can you expect those young boys, who are trying to further their education, to concentrate when the girls are walking around like that. How can you expect the teachers to not offer these girls grades for sex? I mean, gee, the girls are putting it out there. Oh yeah, I forgot. Its the girl's right to dress like that. This is America for gosh sake! It was like this when you were growing up too Mr. Scorpio!!! Um, not it wasn't. Oh, being the perv I am? I wish it had been. But when I was in high-school it was girls in dolphin shorts..(cue the drooling machine) and the feather cut! But now adays? I think instead of offering home-ecconomics for these girls they should just offer Pole-dancing as an elective, since this is where most of them will probably end up, with academic scores as down as they are. Japan may have the better students; we got the better 'hos'. Then again? I am picturing a Japanese girl in a catholic schoolgirl skirt...oh...yeahhhhhhhhhh...uh huhhhhh...mmmmmm..mmmmm...ohhhhhh... As Don King would say, "Only in America!!!"— December 4, 2009 10:23 a.m.
Thongification of America
You almost have a good point, but the difference is? I don't think many fathers take their 10 year old sons to football games to oggle the cheerleaders and cuss. I may be wrong, maybe they do, but I've never seen it.— December 4, 2009 6:08 a.m.
On ADAM LAMBERT's side; this time.
Pistol I was able to add an avatar. Make sure you have a JPEG that is the right size that their system will allow. Mine, as you can see, is a picture of one of Godzilla's greatest foes; Gigan.— December 3, 2009 1:30 p.m.

This is a great new feature...this is about as much 'bling' as I do, updating my avatar!!! I love it!!! Rob— December 3, 2009 1:24 p.m.
On ADAM LAMBERT's side; this time.
for #7 I have said ALL ALONG that I am okay with what Adam did on NIGHT TIME TV. And I am saying here that if ABC is nixing his gig on Fallon's show because of possible 'homosexual' content, then they are wrong since that kind of act, women/women, is already accepted. I think you and I agree that none of it should be on morning TV....and thats cool.— December 3, 2009 12:04 p.m.
On ADAM LAMBERT's side; this time.
Great post Pistol. I understand Adam's double-standard mantra. We all know why lesbian acts on TV are more acceptable; men, hetero men, want it that way. And since men still hold more of the positions of power in this country, that is the way it is. Heck, I WANT it that way. But I am drawing a line in the sand. I think the FCC should grow some (ahem) balls, and stop the 'sex' stuff on morning tv; all of it. Yeah, prudish I admit. As for his singing? Some of it was good, really good, I thought on American Idol. Some of it wasn't. And I still maintain David Cook is the better singer between the two. But you're not the only one who can't stand Adam's voice. After his initial fame wears out, it will be interesting to see where he is in ten years. (Where are you Clay Aiken???)— December 3, 2009 10:13 a.m.
On ADAM LAMBERT's side; this time.
Prime-time, for me, is 8pm-11pm. What Adam did on AMA belongs there, more towards the 11pm hour, and that is where it was. NO PROBLEM there. But 7am? 8am? No. Sorry, got to draw the line. If you're going to take a stand that it should be on in those hours, you're going to lose. And will only hurt the so called 'cause' you are tooting. You have to pick your battles. And this one is a loser. I can't believe I give this kind of advise for free. You are ALL so lucky.— December 3, 2009 6:28 a.m.
