dad gay. so what
Feb 18, 2003

so after a few secret morning wines, a little jfk, and a quick nap, i noticed there are 2 overwhelming themes in GBS this morning, however, they may have conflicting results and should therefore be put to a vote so as not to offend potential readers and cause drama.

1) honey i shrunk the kids
the first obvious thread subject (since the mods passive aggressively closed its predicessor [sic]) expands on the theme of what one might say to describe the fact that they have passed gas, or "farted".

the premise would be that "honey, i shrunk the kids" would be the best way to describe this process.

2) scroll bar
the second potential idea, though troublesome, would be that of a new service and the establishment of a "scroll bar" where one would be able to enjoy a tankard of mead while reading one of the many ancient scrolls provided in the bars conservatory. a librbary of sorts, yet with the added benefit of a social gathering place where people could freely discuss the knowledge they gain from the scrolls.

the premise would obviously be the description and discussion of how such a "scroll bar" might operate.

i leave it to you, gentle goons, to decide and may god have mercy on your souls. selah.

there would have to be two different types of a innkeepers there, the first kind can give you the ale and then the other kind is allowed to touch the scrolls

Scrolls and alcohol sounds like a recipe for an accidental curse. Then you'll be saying "Honey, I shrunk the kids!" but it won't be a euphemism for passing gas; instead, you will will mean it literally.

i assume you are referring to the "honey, i shrunk the kids scenario" however, this thread is not to contribute to the potential topics, but rather to decide the direction of discourse in future threads through an orderly vote. a simple "yay" or "nay" will suffice. thank you for your interest.

so far it looks like gbs sentiment is leaning towards the creation of the inspiring thread about how "honey, i shrunk the kids" is the proper euphamism for flatulence. will this popular subject become the victor? only time will tell.

my feet are really swollen. I've been spending a lot of time sitting in a chair every day during my intensive outpatient therapy, and instead of actual sneAkers/shoes I walk around manhattan in moccasins. do you think the two are related?

i think moccasins are both comfortable and stylish. our native amrican spirit guides were way ahead of their time. sometimes i wonder what life would be like if their civilization had survived our brutal genocide. perhaps, we would all be wearing moccasins and smoking peace pipes in our "wigwams" to this very day...

yeah I wish we'd just appropriated n. American culture instead of stompin on it. mocs are the best and nature/animals are gorgeous and powerful and wigwams are probably really cool too I'm sure of it without even googling what a wigwam is

when I smoke American spirit ciggies I deffo feel closer to the earth and my spirit animal, the owl. I just wish I could afford them all the time. 14$ a pack here in the big Apple!!! the native Americans would be appalled if any had survived to this day

Think how happy Native Americans would've been when they met Chinese immigrants bearing opium and opium pipes. They would've got on just swell, I'd imagine.

To be fair opium only really took off in China when the East India Company deliberately filled the country with it to empty the country of silver.

Whatever the outcome of the vote, I think we can all agree that the euphemism for defecating on a priceless artefact should be "honey I shrunk the scroll bar."

I think we really need to think of the negative effect this could have on the children. They can't just crawl in a box and eat salami all day, this is going to splice open their brain hole and pour steaming hot coffee in it. If we can get past that, I'm for it. Otherwise, I think we need to stick with the peregrine falcon plan. It's safe, eco friendly, and most importantly, it will protect the children.

Yep. Fought two whole wars over it, too, when the Chinese got tired of everyone getting hosed up on smack (it was a long time before electric guitars so it had no artistic value).
