Journal heliocentric's Journal: From wanging to tea baging.... 12
Ok... now, when I was a lad some kids on the football team took to taking out their members and slapping people with them. They hit eachother, and at least the one girl in the biology class. Oh, not to mention the jerk-off races or the peeing for distance contests they held in the auditorium. Well... these boys got expelled for the act of slapping peni that they called "wanging." Then the fun began with the really snobby parents (I went to a big-time snob school, but fortunitly lived on the other side of the tracks) took their kids out and stuck them in private school. Perish the thought of your child graduating with this now tarnished name on their diploma. (Of note, the biggest national news we got was from MTV news.)
The teacher of the bio class was fired... I mean how could you not see this going on?? And my class size dropped from well over 100 to a stout 90 something when I graduated (take in the normal 3 or 4 percent or so that didn't make the minimum to graduate).
Skip forward to today. I hear of a similar incident out in Western PA (I'm from Eastern, living in South Central PA - shout out to my homies) only there the kids called it "Tea Bagging." Mabye it's the difference in location, I mean heck, they call it pop while my friends called it soda* or maybe it's the oral tradition of slapping people with your penis that has changed the term. Just look at George Carlin's routine about Post Tramaumatic Stress Disorder coming from Shell-Shock.
For more on the story out West read this article. By far, my favorite quote is "I can understand him having to shave his head, but when you put your penis in a child's face that is different." You know... I don't remember head shaving vs. penis slapping on Sesame Street when they sang "One of these things is not like the other" and maybe that's a good thing, but you have to hand it to them for noticing it is different. I mean, people who confuse those two need to have their head examined... oh wait, maybe that's what they were doing in the first place.
* sidebar, I had relation that were so old they called it "temprance" as in "`What would you like to drink?'... `Oh, I think that root beer temprance sounded nice'"

I guess some people are destined to be sick fucks from the womb. On that note, I may be one of them, but at least I know how to control it =P After all, there's a y** in the geek code ("I make perverts seem like angels"). Says a lot, doesn't it? And that's just geeks.

As for your sig. CmdrTaco->Pudge->Chrisd->Banky->red5 4.
Cliff lists me as a friend and I list you as a friend. The Cliff listing me as such doesn't show up, just as your listing me as a friend doesn't show up. It's that whole "hiddin zoo" that I keep trying to point out over on slashcode that I don't think anyone really notices exists...

Yeah. I'm not sure how this works, but the closest I've been able to decypher is that the friends/fans/fof/eof lists are kept in a de-normalized format refered to as blobs. This is why people lose all their friends/fans every now an then. Looks like yours got out of sync. Contact krow and he should be able to sort you out.

I've posted a bug on sourceforge about this. Well, more about how when you remove a friend (set them to neutral) it does not always reset your [friends|foes] or friends. I had sllort as a friend for a while but removed him weeks ago. CmdrTaco still shows up as a 'Foe of friend', and when I go to the relationship page it lists sllort as a friend who 'Consider[s] CmdrTaco a Foe'. Taco keeps telling me there is a delay between changing relationships and the FOAF lists being regenerated and to just give it a day od two, but it has been almost a month!

I remember meeting this girl who said that. At the time I used to use the phrase, "It's all fun & games until someone looses an eye.". In fact, I'd use it quite liberally. Then she jokingly said, "...then it becomes a sport.". I laugh at it, till this day.
