I am sure our friend j_tourette will appreciate this one :)

Well, duh.

It's a very exciting photograph, and I admire the masculine stamina involved.  Ron Jeremey could have done no better.

But, since it is Ash Wednesday worldwide, I should like to draw the attention of the board to a mediocre erotic portrayal of flesh and spirit, as one. 

My name is Nellie, and I take pride in helping protect the children of my community through active leadership roles in my local church and in the Boy Scouts of America.  Bad word make me sad.

I have no idea what ash wednesday is (hopefully not something connected to your pyromaniac tendencies?)... Anyway, here's some relaxing piano music for you!

Somewhere in the world, is a desperate composer who is hoping his music will be used in a beautiful Oscar-winning movie...

Instead, it's being used to accompany a video of what looks like Bug Rape...

...or possibly a re-enactment of how Harvey Weinstein liked to do business.    ;D

I probably wouldn't have recognised that the creation of this sound track required the services of an actual composer had you not mentioned it...

Oh, come on people.  Yeah, I grant that not everybody knows what Ash Wednesday is, but I find it hard to believe most people haven't heard of Mardi Gras or Carnival.    Do people really not know why Carnival or Mardi Gras exists?  It's not very obscure, you know.  It's not like some dudebros just decided "Whoohoo!  Tuesday yo!  Rock on!"

No, I'm not a Jeebus nut but it's just common knowledge, AFAIC.



ETA And, no thanks, I'm not sheltering no kids no way.  I hate children, and I hate cops.  Pretty sure the feeling is mutual.

Sure do like those cherry pies, though.

Oh, blah blah.

My blood is at least 50% American blended whiskey, 50% Powers Gold, 50% nasty eau de vie from French fur trappers from the lowlands distilled in lead pots and 50% hard coffee. 

All contained in a neat container of whupass.

And with a side of blood sausage and whatever bread comes out of the oven.

And whatever unconsecrated wine I can get from out the church.

A little damage to the frontal lobe is good for you:  puts hair on your chest.

Anyway, you've got to be a tiny bit nuts to play music:  there's very little percentage in it.

Chest hair would be handy in this cold climate but unfortunately I have none, so I guess my frontal lobe is intact. What would you suggest? Traditional lobotomy? That should be easy to do at home..,

Sure.  I recommend to those starting out a strict training diet of corn liquor, and then start experimenting with stage dives off a good PA speaker landing on one's head.

The correct path to brain damage is really a multi-pronged approach:  you have to destroy the limbic system chemically, and compound the damage by rigorous physical trauma.  Other variants are best reserved for more advanced acolytes.

I hear young children talking about home lobotomies, and trepanning, quite a bit these days.  I can't recommend either technique, but, you'll know if either is right for you.  It would be an excellent question for a teacher, even a piano instructor.

I don't believe you have to eat the cat stool specimens to get the full benefit.

Direct inhalation (one need not insufflate --- the airborne fragments entering the nasal passages can be sufficient), or light application to the area surrounding the eyes should be enough.

Mad cow disease (BSE) has been shown to be effective as well, if not is not a cat fancier.

Sorry, I dislike red meat too much to get BSE.

I do love fish in almost any form though...but that's mostly harmless, as tapeworms don't usually go to brain. And even the round ones they eat in Japan just kill you too fast to really enjoy being brain dead...

We don't even have the brain eating amebas here. The waters are too cool for them.
I did get a nasty rash once from a lake but it only affected my face, not the insides of my head. Itched like hell though...

Ah.  A man who enjoys eating good fish.  I know just what you mean!  Very good stuff!  I could murder some grass right now, as long as it's got the protein of the sea in it!

So, you just trap a feral pig or a neighbor's pet pig, and feed it cow brains, than eat the pig!

It's a nice lighter meat. 

Delicious!  And disabling!

You know.

You people.

You take a chicken.

You get the brain of a cow:  I don't know where you live, but I can get me a cow brain easy.  Or used to be able to.

You cage the chicken.

You feed it the calf brain.  Mix it with a little skeletal matter, because chickens like that, although they'll eat anything.

Then you the eat the chicken!

Gawd, have to tell you people everything!

THEN you get the brain damage!

It's so simple.

Or, you could just play guitar.

Perhaps so, but taking your doctor's advice is one; given the content of certain of your posts elsewhere, you might do well to ensure that you take it.

I agree.  It's infuriating, offensive, and completely beyond the pale of any decent conduct.

It makes me want to ritually sacrifice a human and drink his or her blood in a Black Mass.

But.  I can't.  I have to start with animals. 

I know.  Can't run before you can walk. 

I know.

But in the future, I can work up to it.
