    Heat the cucumber in the microwave for about 1 to 1.5 minutes.

    Dude! That will burn the skin off your dick!! Maybe 10 - 15 seconds, max. Be fucking reasonable here. If you're gonna go fucking vegetables, you don't want them cooked and piping hot. And you certainly don't want to be making beef & veggie stew with your cock.

  2. I'm a Conservative! by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    Oh, I'm a Republican
    I got a small schling
    I like to bomb niggahs
    and make a lot o' bling

    I got a bunch o' friends
    in high up places
    They helps me get dem
    government graces.

    You think I'm smart
    I just know who's who
    I couldn't run a fruit stand
    without the red white & blue

    I fancy myself
    A brilliant tactician
    But neither me nor m'buddies
    Could even pass basic trainin'

    See, I'm above all that
    A fightin' and shootin'
    I just say "Sic em!"
    Then run the other direction

    Don't need no history
    Don't need no schoolin'
    I got my ideology
    To keep me a shootin'

    Liberals! Faggots!
    Commies and queers!
    Socialist hippies
    Full o' pussy tears!

    I'll drop some crap
    about Jesus the Christ
    You'll buy it all
    and vote for me twice

    'Fact, Jesus is comin'!
    Real soon, now!
    So we gotta prop up Israel
    That ol' sacred cow

    Propaganda's m'friend
    But I calls it "fact"
    Even though I don't read
    'Cept for Chick tracts

    Facts? No! Don't need em here!
    We're conservatives! We work on FEAR!
    Don't like what we say?
    Well FUCK YOU, bud!
    We'll shove it down yer throat
    and tell ya it's good!

  3. The ultimate OS flame war challenge by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    In carefully thinking my options through with regard to the most well known operating systems that a home "power user" might choose to work with, I've formulated the following axiom regarding usability:

    Linux is to Windows as Windows is to Mac OS (Pre OS X).

    What this means is left to the reader to determine and will obviously vary depending on which OS you prefer. Example:

    A Mac user would see it this way:

    Hardest is to Hard as Hard is to Easy

    A Linux user would see it this way:

    Least obfuscated is to Obfuscated as Obfuscated is to Most Obfuscated

    A Windows user would see it this way:

    "What was the question"? or "Oooooh shiny!"

    Let the flamefest begin!
