No, no, you misunderstand - a thong with Spongebob on it, not a thong such as Spongebob would wear. Although I'm intrigued to hear that he has switched to boxers - in the episodes, it's y-fronts all the way!

But I think there is a question of philosophical purity at hand here. If Spongebob wears boxers, then does it not fly in the face of all he stands for to manufacture Spongebob thongs? Does that not constitute a mockery of his Boxer-wearing stance?

John Boot, Sine and Rossweisse: the way you all wind each other up and send threads cantering off down paths dark and thorny is starting to tire me immensely. It unfolds so predictably. And further, Sine, the fact that the confessed troll John Boot should amuse you at all I find deeply worrying. He is one of the most disruptive influences we have had on the board, and specializes in constant skating just so close to the edge but no further that he is a constant irritant. I have no idea why he does this.
Anyway. Have a nice day. ![[Roll Eyes]](rolleyes.gif)

That's the problem with beign a gay icon. Are any of them big strong "don't mess with me" types? We need to recruit Charles Bronson or Dirty "make my day, punk" Harry to the ranks of gay icons. Then they may have a chance.
Whatever happened to the days of Big Hollywood epics like Spartacus and Ben Hur? When gay men lusted after muscular swordfighters, not members of boy bands and stuff?

Mr. Dobson is guilty of a far greater sin than has been mentioned so far. By focusing our attention on SpongeBob, he has blinded us to the true evil.
How often, Shipmates, have we been walking down the aisle at our local grocery store (the snack section specifically) and come across the leering face of the true "Gay Icon?" I speak of Orville Reddenbacher!!! What better way to corrupt children and lead them into the gay lifestyle than to offer them the tasty treat that they have learned to love at their favorite nickelodeon emporium (Dobson still calls them that!) It is insidious and it is happening right in front of our very noses! A campaign must be organized to remove him from our children's sight

i thought orville redenbacher had kids who continued the business? i might be wrong about that, and even if i'm right, it doesn't prove he wasn't gay, but somewhat lessens the probability...

ah, here we go:
quote:
Orville Redenbacher's death came as a shock to his family. Although 88, he was in good health. Just before his death, he was planning a trip to Yosemite National Park with his family. He is survived by daughters Billie Ann Atwood and Gail Tuminello, 12 grandchildren, and ten great-grandchildren. Two wives, Corinne and Nina, preceded him in death. "He's in heaven now so he can go wherever he wants," said Atwood. During his lifetime, Redenbacher reportedly ate popcorn several times a week, following in the footsteps of his father, who ate it every night. Though most people now microwave their popcorn, Redenbacher once admitted his favorite way to make popcorn was the old-fashioned way--a little bit of oil and popcorn, popped in a pan atop a stove until it nearly popped the lid off.

Bugs Bunny in a dress kissing and marrying Elmer Fudd promoted homosexuality about as well as Milton "Uncle Milty" Berle in drag did.
Maybe the modern cartoon types promote it more efficiently, more like Queer Eye guys.
Someone needs to do a study on adult homosexuals who consider that their TV icons in their younger years gave them the warm fuzzies.

Ironically enough today's reading of Madeleine L'Engle is where she talks about her book A Wrinkle in Time and C.S. Lewis's Narnia series being on a list of books that "should be banned" for pornographic content. So good ol'Sponge boy is in excellent company.

Yeah, L'Engle seemed pretty baffled by it too, noted it might increase sales of her and Lewis' books among teenagers. Which she felt was a sad comentary -not on the teenagers, but about the world as presented to them by adults. That once you start looking for pornography you can find it under any bush (or in any wardrobe as it were......perhaps a the "pornography" is a freudian take on pushing through the fur coats to enter the magical land?)

And comes across a faun. We all know what they get up to on ancient Greek vases.
A faun that entices young girls back to his den.
And then her brother is drugged and seduced by a frigid older woman.
And the next thing is that they all put on fur coats, go through the hole, and meet the beavers :eek@.
Just say the word "furry" to ChastMastr of this parish, and vow never to log on to any of the relevant websites he then finds for you.

Oh I don't know... walk in the moonlit woods... teenage boy (oops my cougar tendancies are showing).. suddenly transported to another dimension..."And this feeling of moving with the earth was somewhat like the feeling of being in the ocean, out in the ocean beyond the rising and falling of the breakers, lying on the moving water, pulsing with the swells, and feeling the gentle inexorable tug of the moon. I am asleep. I am dreaming..... Light began to pulse and quiver" (Wrinkle in Time Chapter 4)
Better written than a lot of the erotica I have read. I always saw kything as something closer to Heinlein's grok.. rather more esoteric.
It's all in what the imagination can come up with and we know that Dobson and Co. have vivid imaginations!
Vive le Spongebob!

I was always told that those were satyrs. Are these just two words for the same thing--er--creature? They sure do look alike.
Technically a faun is an Italian nature spirit, a satyr a Greek mythical creature that runs around rogering whatever it can tget tis willy on.
But as the Italian god Faunus (boss of all the woodland animals) got assocaited with the Greek Pan (a lot more serious doo-doos) so did fauns become assimilated iconographically to satyrs - human upper body, goat's legs and hooves, giant phalluses, little horns in their dinky curly hair.
I had a couple of rather rudely illustrated books about this sort of thing, one based loosely around a feminist view of the Mutliation of the Herms in 415 BC. But I lent it to a classics student who then died, so it seemed inappropriate to ask for it back.

Well, now, that's just damned embarrassing.
Hmmmm....that show, IIRC, is produced in Canada, although funded out of the US.
TVO will probably show it locally and kids will not notice the lesbian couples.
Arthur, the precursor to this Buster thingie...has shown a number of different family arrangements, including divorced parents (Buster), apartment dwellers (unusual in TV), and a grandparent with custody.

How often, Shipmates, have we been walking down the aisle at our local grocery store (the snack section specifically) and come across the leering face of the true "Gay Icon?" I speak of Orville Reddenbacher!!! What better way to corrupt children and lead them into the gay lifestyle than to offer them the tasty treat that they have learned to love at their favorite nickelodeon emporium (Dobson still calls them that!) It is insidious and it is happening right in front of our very noses! A campaign must be organized to remove him from our children's sight
Speak for yourself. The bow tie on Reddenbacher was misleading. There are a few straight men that wear them.
You want a Gay Icon in your supermarket?
Mr. Clean.
After all, Mr. Clean had an earring long before Eminmen made it possible for all men that were unsure of their sexuality but needed to act tough to wear one.
