  1. A bag made from a cunt by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Does anybody know where I can buy or otherwise acquire a "cuntbag"? In case this isn't clear, I'm talking about a small changepurse sort of thing, made from a real human vagina. I'd like to find an especially hairy one, but will take a shaven, or thin-haired one if that's all that is available. And, as far as the "changepurse" thing goes, no, I'm not gay. I just think it'd be nice to carry around my gum and car keys in a little disembodied pussy. Maybe these are made as part of organ donation programs or something? Thanks!

    Holy SHIT, that's the funniest thing I've read in a long time. I know it shouldn't be, but it is.

    Possibly the funniest troll ever.

    Actually, this is my new troll. I think my first one was better:


    We had this developer that used to piss off everyone at the office. So one night I went to his workstation, removed Linux and installed Windows. Then I pissed all over his chair. After that I wanked off into his coffee mug just for good measure.

    Still, I felt like the job wasn't done, so I pulled down my britches and dropped a load right on his keyboard. Then I grabbed his sweater off the back of his chair and used it to wipe my arse.

    You should've seen his face the next day when he came into work and saw the whole mess. He was like, "Ugh, gross! Someone installed Windows on my workstation!"

    Needless to say, he didn't fuck with anyone at the office after that.

    Cheers

  9. Don't buy Thai by knobmaker · · Score: 1, Offtopic

    Maybe this is a dopey consideration, and I'm just a soft-headed idealist, but I no longer buy anything made in Thailand, if I can help it.

    Here's the deal: In February, Prime Minister Thaksin Shinawatra announced that in three months, Thailand would win the war on drugs. When the attempt officially ended, according to the Associated Press, 2,274 Thais had been killed. The government said that only about 35 of these killings were committed by the police, in justifiable self-defense, but the Thai people and various human rights organizations believe that many more of these killings were done by the police in extrajudicial executions.

    This seems barbaric to me. The only way I have of expressing my opinion of these acts is to not spend my money on Thai goods.

    P.S. There are still drugs in Thailand. Surprising, isn't it?
