Ive never not gone to an std clinic where a guy stuck a q-tip in my pee hole.

You prefer to do that at home?

I would prefer if we changed the subject, joke or not just thinking about that incident makes my dick itchy.

Now that is itch that The Batlord would be willing to scratch.

A Q-tip down my pee hole suddenly doesn't sound so bad.

Don't worry, I'll only use my pinky.

Yeah, someone had told me that, and as I watched the movie shortly afterwards, I can confirm that it's true - though he does say, "Play it again", while talking to Sam; so close, but no cigar!

I wonder what sad person did the hours of research necessary just to put that one word, "never" into their conclusion.

Strictly speaking this is probably true, but it's a very misleading statement. George Orwell invented the phrase "Big Brother is watching you" as a slogan for a propaganda poster, not as a line of dialogue. In my edition of the book, the slogan, "BIG BROTHER IS WATCHING YOU" appears, in caps, on the first page of the first chapter, paragraph two and, over the page, again in paragraph four. Let's not diminish the credit that George Orwell deserves; it would be ironic if we allowed spin-off movies and reality shows to rewrite the history of the novel's creation, given that rewriting history is a key element of Orwell's inspired book.

Advancing the thread with a common misconception about the Bible: the Bible doesn't say, "Money is the root of all evil." it says, "The love of money is the root of all evil," which is subtly different and makes more sense - not that the Vatican ever paid it much attention either way. :(

^ Maybe I wasn't clear that I really liked the Shatner/Nimoy Star Treks - but trawling through every episode waiting for one phrase - yes, I guess that is heroic!

(btw, what does "ftfy" mean?)

"Fixed that for you".

He actually says (it's a long time since I saw it but I'm pretty sure he says this) "You played it for her, you can play it for me! Play it!"
Research is unnecessary when you have been brought up on original ST and seen every episode at least ten times. I can confidently bet all three of my cats' lives on this never having been uttered by Captain Kirk. Usually he just said "One to beam up", "Energise" or "Beam up the landing party".

:laughing:
Yeah but people think it was said in the movie. Never was.
Also, Jesus wept? Jesus was hard: he obviously just had something in his eye... ;)

Maybe not in canon, but...

Thanks for the explanation, Batlord!

^ Happy to conceed that your failing memory is better than my failing memory. ;)

^ Wow! All I've done is watch them on tv - though I did also see their movie about going back to "present day" San Diego(?) to find a whale or something. It has some great scenes of dry comedy.

Thanks. Um, who are you again... :confused:
Yeah, Star Trek IV: The Voyage Home also known as "Kirk and Spock save the whales. Oh, and Scotty helps too!" I featured it as the last of four ST movies during "Star Trek Month" in The Couch Potato in March I think it was.

I've never not thought trekkies are uber cool.

i know im the minority on this one but i don't see what's so cool about Star Trek or Star wars for that matter.

Ok, thanks for the info.
Things that never happened:-
Strictly speaking, David Livingstone didn't discover the Victoria Falls. The local Africans had known it was there all the time. When they took him to see Mosi-oa-Tunya ("the smoke that thunders"), he just renamed it and spread its fame elsewhere. To my mind, that's not discovering in the true sense, the way Madam Curie discovered radium.

Columbus didn't discover America :D

He also didn't discover Puerto Rico.

He is also not in the lyrics to our anthem..

But he did introduce slavery. Surely that's a deed worthy of song.

Actually that part is not in the song.

He does get a verse where he says Borinquen (Puerto Rico) is the daughter of the Sun and the sea.

Sh*t is sung from his perspective too, we know he said that for real.

Why do you have an anthem? You're not a real country. Only real countries get to have anthems.

Compromise: the Puerto Rican national anthem can only be hummed.

No, we will compromise no longer.


You just jealous Columbus didn't say beautiful stuff about america.

... and don't forget it's also accompanied by trumpet, timbales and a whistle.
And it does have lyrics that closely resemble another anthem.

Puerto Rico Anthem
O Puerto Rico!
Our home and native land!
True pirate love in all thy sons command.
With glowing sharks in seed weed hide,
The troubadour strong and free!
From far and wide,
O Puerto Rico, we stand on guard for thee.
God keep our island glorious and free!
O Puerto Rico, we stand on guard for thee.
O Puerto Rico, we stand on guard for thee.

No, we had real Americans say good **** about it. My people seceded cause we were sick of having so much good **** to say about ourselves and nothing to say about those *******s up north.

I like it.
Just put a reggaeton beat to it and the kids will eat it up.

um.. how do i say this..

F*ck you and your wig wearing ancestors.

Didn't you once try to tell me how "metropolitan" and not-really-the-south Virginia is?

Sherlock Holmes never said "Elementary, my dear Watson."

**** you and your burrito-eating contemporaries.

No, I said that the area I live is metropolitan. The western part of the state is straight up Appalachian hillbilly country. Real Virginians are a settled folk, and we don't much care for those classless degenerates in them there hills.

Yet you say it was "your people" that seceded. Hmmm.

And it was a bunch of hillbillies that wanted to stay with your folk who broke away and became West Virginia. It was the ol' timey suit wearin', mint julip sippin' Virginians who decided to secede. If some cousin-lovin' trash came along for the ride, well then what can you do?

So are you saying Virginia is really southern or isn't really southern?

Yankees just don't understand. Living in a house with a dirt floor isn't what makes a Southerner. It's their sexy accent, propensity for magnificent facial hair, and general superiority to Northerners*.

*Chewing tobacco used to be another sign, but not so much these days.

I still do chew some tobacco every now and again. And you forgot our Southern charm and hospitality.

Us northerners call that Racism. :D

Hey, who do you think makes your lemonade while we sit on my giant, greek-columned front porch?

Since AMVs are trending...

That is probably the biggest difference between the North and the South. The North is more DIY. If a Northerner wanted lemonade they have to go a store, buy lemons, take them home, juice the lemons, add the water, sugar and ice cube & stir it together all by themselves. If a Southerner lemonade they have a man servant pick the lemons, have the cook squeezed the lemons etc and a maid to serve it to them all while they sit on the porch complaining about everything under the sun and how "hawt it is" and the wee doggies barking in the background.

Alright, that's pretty hilarious, but what does it have to do with anything?

The answer to your question.. Bitches.
