CFNM

Whatever the rights and wrongs of posting this guy's personal information, I did learn from one of his photos about a fetish I'd never come across: CFNM (Clothed Female, Naked Male).

Thanks Amir!

The "Chicken Shop"

[TX297]

Heh, I think I know where that place is... looks like it's on that road heading into the toppling phone booths in Kingston... I've eaten at that place a couple of times but the shops in the background don't look right, but I haven't been there for a couple of years so who knows? It's possibly a chain, but the interior furnishings are exactly the same. Mod me down, this comment is useless.

Everyone is having a nice laugh right now, but it won't seem so funny if this guy commits suicide.

I believe the word for that would be "hilarious."

...do not forget to take the backup and wipe out the entire content.

With this kind of content, I think it makes sense to skip the backup step.

Melodrama != Angst

[Draconix]

Every time you misuse the word "angst," God kills an emo-kid. Please, think of the emo-kids.

Not True!

The best way in the world to handle scammers is by impaling. Impaling would be a cornerstone of my regime. I don't think we've had enough of it in the past 500 years or so, and I aim to bring it back. I'd be Bruce the Impaler. Don't knock it -- during Vlad's reign, you could leave a bag of gold on the street in Romania and no one would touch it. Why? They didn't want to get impaled.

I doubt I'd go for Vlad's solution to the homeless problem though. He invited them all to a feast, locked them in and burned the building down. Me, I got nothing against homeless people. If you want to be homeless that's your business. So, "yes" impaling, "no" burning homeless people to death. Any successful regime must have compasison after all. Maybe "yes" burning spammers alive too. On the days we're not impaling them. I'm all about choices.

My regime would also replace all organized relgion with a state sponsored one involving smurfs. Non-smurfy activities would be punishable by impaling. Non-smurfy activities like scamming or spamming.

I figure I'm a shoo-in on the next Republican ticket...

Yeah, it's not like he's committed a serious offence like saying that a police horse was gay or anything.

Encryption takes space and with porn, every byte counts. I thought everybody knew that.

"I can almost see now why the military prefers to physically destroy the drives."

Well, that and the way that those guys destroy things is just plain fun.
