Bananas and Nuts

[nlanza]

You got me, nlanza. Objecting to someone using a racial slur is exactly the same thing that happened in the Munky thread, and I’m a total hypocrite.

And I did report the post, but if Tom’s not bothered by the word, then I guess the official position here is that it’s okay. I will do my best to ignore the word when it appears again, but I can’t make any promises. It pushes a button for me.

But weren’t we going over the fact that not everybody’s going to agree on what’s allowed and not allowed earlier?

Again, is it just different here because it’s something you don’t like?

That word understandably pushes a button for you. Other people have different buttons. Why is what’s okay for you not okay for them?

The donation should be in honor of boobies. I hope we can at least all agree that boobies are a good cause.

Done, though there turned out not to be a convenient in-honor-of field:

Dear Mr. Lanza,

Thank you so much for your generous contribution of $20.00 to Susan G. Komen for the Cure®. Your support is hard at work bringing us closer to our promise of saving lives and ending breast cancer forever by empowering people, ensuring quality care for all and energizing science to find the cures.

With nearly $1.5 billion invested to date, we are the world’s single largest source of nonprofit funds dedicated to confronting breast cancer at every stage. In fact, since we started in 1982, practically every advance in the fight against breast cancer has been touched in some way by a Susan G. Komen for the Cure grant.

With friends like you, along with survivors, activists, and supporters in more than 120 U.S. locations and a growing number of international cities and countries, we are literally making an impact and helping save millions of lives around the world.

Again thank you for your generous donation and for your commitment to our steadfast promise to end breast cancer forever.

Sincerely,

Amb. Nancy G. Brinker
Founder and Chief Executive Officer

I regret reading the last ten pages of this thread, excepting for the surprisingly helpful advice regarding melon copulation. Also, I suggest using a silicone lubricant. Water based would simply be absorbed into the melon too quickly.

No, see, that’s the whole point of fucking a melon — it provides its own water-based lube. Especially canteloupe and honeydew, the flesh of which is positively slick.

I guess we as a forum need to back up a bit here and list all the different types of melons.

– canteloupe
– honeydew
– watermelon
– musk melon
– casaba melon

uhhhhhhhh

I have a friend who used to fuck bananas. He had a whole ritual where he would microwave the banana for exactly 24 seconds (I’m guessing 24, don’t remember the exact number) then wrap it in duct tape, fill a tupperware container with a little bit of water and microwave a linen towel for around a minute, squeeze most of the flesh out of the banana, have furious coitus with it while watching a “BBW” porno, then unseal the tupperware, pull out the hot towel and drape it over his genitals while he smoked a Gitanes and read the daily Le Monde. (He was a Francophile, too.)

Funny thing is, I’m not derailing this thread.

I’m guessing one shouldn’t refrigerate these things beforehand.

I have no idea what we’re arguing about. I strenously and nastily objected to a word, and other people - almost everyone who weighed in - told me I was full of shit for objecting to it. Fine. I don’t agree, but I explicitly acknowledged that I probably have a different cultural reference point than the majority of the people here. If that’s not a recognition that “not everybody’s going to agree on what’s allowed and not allowed,” I’m not sure what is.

Or are you saying that merely by protesting the word, I was somehow trying to impose my standards on the whole board? Okay, let’s assume that’s the case. Isn’t that what EVERYONE does when they object to something someone posts?

Honestly, you’re making me tired. But thank you for your donation to Komen.

You have to wonder how long it took him to develop that whole ritual. That’s pretty amazing.

If only all those black people who told you the word was fine in certain contexts had your cultural reference, eh?.

All, as in one? Or is this place not as white as I think it is?

My point is that the difference between “strenously and nastily objecting” and “trying to impose my standards on the whole board” is often one of the observer’s perspective.

[BobJustBob]

At least two. Is one not enough though?

Do you really think Lorini’s the only African-American I’ve heard from about the acceptability of that word? I certainly respect her opinion on the matter, but her position on that issue is not universally held within the African-American community. In fact, perhaps there’s as much diversity of opinion within that community as there is among white folks, ya think?

So accept that diversity, move on.

Fuck you, kerzain. I hadn’t touched on that topic since yesterday some time. nlanza decided he wanted to stir it up again, and then BJBob decided to join in. I was perfectly willing to drop it.

Did I mention fuck you?

[BobJustBob]

I’m sorry, I forgot that getting offended by other people’s language is your favorite hobby. I didn’t mean to take that away from you.

Look, jerri, this does not become you. I’m not in this to antagonize you.

Or,

The Burpee Hybrid Cantaloupe with its thick, firm, salmon flesh sounds like a winner.

Hard to pass up “Queen Anne’s Pocket Melon” just for the name, though.

See though, he was really fucking banana peels, wasn’t he? Not really fucking bananas at all. I mean, I haven’t been talking about fucking melon rinds.

OMG THAT’S SO HOT

Yeah, it sounds great for travel!
