I am offended that none of the last 6 posts express any offendedness. I am doubly offended that there appears to a love-in going on between at least 2 of you complete with titillation and marthambles. And endearments! I am offended by the endearments most of all!

Well, I never! no prophet, the secondary sexual characteristics of your shipmates are not fodder for this thread, you pervert! And I am not aware who Miss Mbles is, but she is not a participant on this thread. And I am sure she would be as offended as I.

OK:

1. Speak for yourself.

2. You do realize that by phrasing that the way you did, you are pretty much opening the door for people to start discussing primary sexual characteristics? And who can we thank as the thread plunges down Smut Falls?

Marthambles is the state of being over heated. I am offended that our little buddy lilBuddha is over heated and now needs an ice bath. Further I am offended that some of you are falling for smut. Obviously you are friends of that Not-So-Hairy-Naked-Prince who offended nearly everyone except those of you who are not offended.

no prophet referring to cantaloupes is what started all this. Never heard a stapler as a euphemism. How does that work?

grabs stapler, scratches head. hmm. pushes down, top springs back up. well , maybe. pushes down a little harder, sproing! stapler explodes, sending staples flying over everything, wasted before they can be put to use.
Oh, right, now I get it. Kelly! Shame on you, dirty minded girl. [Disappointed]

Kelly, 'bleeding' comes from 'bloody' which comes from 'by Our Lady' and when all's said and done, this is a Christian website. 'Sodding eyes' or 'fucking eyes' would be preferable, notwithstanding that either would require one of them to hop over your nose. How big is your nose? Come to think of it, you'd have to lie on your back for this to work. And come to think of it again, eyes aren't a sexual characteristic, secondary or otherwise, so maybe they wouldn't be up for it. I'll mull it over.

[ETA] All will never be said and done. Now I get it!

In their defence, BL, I think they did it with good intentions, mistakenly taking you as being innocent of any such thing - I think it is pretty darned offensive of you to point out their lack of vision in this way.

Lack of vision? Some of the things this thread has caused me to envision make me want to rip out my visual cortex. I nearly want to convert, just so I can pray for the visions to stop!

Wait, the Buddha converting? As the head of a major religion, I'd think you'd have more conviction in your teachings—and the confusion it'd cause your followers. After all, we don't want a repeat of this incident, do we?

Compassion on your fellow beings indeed. [Disappointed]

Now if that isn't faithist, I don't know what is. You think that all Buddhists ought to be convicted? What of, precisely? As far as I know there isn't a law against shaving your head (even down as far as the skull) or sitting with your legs crossed or even wearing saffron - though I did think the other day that there should be a law against one particular group of about a hundred Buddhist monks being in front of me in the queue for the icecream stall on a very hot day. BUt in general I find Buddhists to be a very law abiding faith group. Free the Buddhists, I say - they are innocent.

See, but it was a "free Buddhists to good homes" deal. Emphasis on the "good homes" bit. Whereas some of us are willing to take our Bihkku on walks, feed it, brush it, and give it the occasional koan, other people just can't be trusted with that responsibility. I mean, there's a lot of work involved, and not just for Pure Land or Rinzai practitioners; even your run-of-the-mill Buddhist from the local ashram will need more attention than some people (like you) can handle. I'm sorry, but it hurts and offends me to see poor, neglected stray monks off on the side of the road, abandoned by their former masters.

Remember, a Buddhist isn't just for Vesak. It's for life.

At first, I was offended by you lot. However after some reflection, something we do well, I determined I was a hypocrite for feeling so. And now, I must give you thanks. For today, I free my pet Christians. It is bittersweet, as I was given some of them as a young child. It was a learning experience at first, I must admit. Keeping the different breeds in different pens, cannot mix the fundamentalist with the RCCs, the fundamentals will turn rabid. Different feeds for each, unleavened wafers and wine for the RCCs, the High church CofEs demanding battenberg... I will have to confess I lost a few at first. That was embarrassing. Turns out they do not flush like goldfish. Father was quite peeved at needing to call the plumber. I did have such fun playing with them, though. Learned bunches about debate. Also about pointless diatribe.
Well it is over now, I realize keeping such pets is not the best thing. Though they do not seem capable of functioning on their own, I do worry they might injure themselves or each other. I shall release them seperately, in different areas.
Do any of you know of wildlife rehabilitation facilities which might be able to help them prepare for independence?

You hoped better of our dear, beloved Kelly? She isn't good enough for you just as she is? We love her, warts (yes every single one of them) and all. Her faults, foibles, weaknesses and failings make her the Kelly we all know and we wouldn't have her any other way (except, perhaps, in a good stew if we were really hungry). Stop measuring her against perfection and start accepting her just the way God made her. Not everyone can be a penguin.

I reckon you're on your own there, sweet chips.

Now I'm doubly offended.
First off, my bucket of fish now has copious quantities of beany-vomit in it. You've put me right off my supper.
And as if that wasn't enough, my finely crafted post was taken as "just what you needed to hear"
which is so not in the spirit of the game.
So if I'm doubly offended, do I get double the points?

Smudgie, how can you chastise poor Kelly like that? We all know she's emotionally constipated. Just for once she opens her heart to you, and you make a specious point that it's not in the 'spirit of the game' - had she not said, clearly, 'gameface off'? Avians are supposed to be warm-blooded, I suggest you get medical help before yours freezes in your veins.

As for my vomit, most people have found it untypically wholesome - I am, after all, a bottle-a-day Toilet Duck addict. It can't have been worse than your fish if they'd spent hours in a bucket. I know you're far from the frozen south, but surely you could have got yourself a fridge by now? Dead or alive, they must have been crawling.

Beanie beanie beanie, your scattergun attitude to the relationships of pronouns is giving me a hernia. Is it the penguins, the vomit, or the little fishies that are crawling? Whatever. Your knee fetishes fail to titilate and that failure in itself is an offence/offence to an old man who likes his titilations ... talk about thwarted expectation.

Being a feckless layabout, Wodders, I'm sure you're wearing well. Just stay out of the sun and purge regularly.

Zappa, please concentrate. My use of 'they' eliminates two of the three possible objects you mention, making elaboration redundant. There is, after all, only one penguin on this thread, probably on the entire ship, though she does make enough noise for a whole raft of them. And when did I mention knees? Either my memory's failing or you're having one of your phases again. Hold fast, it'll soon pass.

I say this as a friend, Ariston, that's exactly the way RooK began talking before uncontrollable megalomania took over. Demigodhood might look pretty from a distance, but how do you know who your real friends are when you are surrounded by minions?

As a minion myself, I take umbrage at the suggestion that Ariston should cast me off like a worn jacket. It's all very well talking about friends in such a cavalier manner - you do so so thoughtlessly that I can only assume you must have one already. But think of poor people like the masterful Ariston who has not the slightest chance of fulfilling that ambition. And while I gain a good income of the occasional kipper as a reward for my honest minionhood, I'll thank you not to be quite so disparaging of the services I provide.

Meanwhile, you could redeem yourself by noting the numerous causes for offense in Zappa's post.

Smudgie! Ariston does so have friends, some of them aren't even imaginary.* And the rumours that he needs bribe even his imaginary companions are completely unfounded, even if highly probable.

*or so I've heard. I'll choose to believe this unlikely thing until I see evidence to the contrary.

And what is wrong pray tell about having an Imaginary Friend? I have staked my life on my Imaginary Friend™. I know Him as My Personal Lord and Saviour™. He pays my bills. Washes me in His Blood™ and (somehow) thereby makes me whiter than snow. He Heals my ingrown toenails and makes sure nasty libruls and atheistic persons Go South™. I am so offended I may even cry. Or pout.

To both of you: not only do I not need to bribe my co-host, but, last time I checked, he's not Jesus. The implication that we should be patterning our lives after him—and that, contrary to a certain Eccles thread, buying our Sunday Best from chelseamegastore.com—is, quite frankly, both offensive and more than a little disturbing.

I don't know what they do in your church, but in my church the choristers wear robes. They do not wear Chelsea tops. There are many choristers who know how to wear proper ceremonial vestments throughout the country and you should not be including them in your rash generalisations.

Not one myself but I'm related to several Chelsea supporters, and find your suggestion that wearing their strip will bring one out in a rash... not highly offensive, but sufficiently so for me to draw it to your attention. I'm sure the Chelsea shirt is made from the finest, non-allergenic fabric. If you developed a rash after wearing one, you really should consider alternative causes. Did you have unprotected sex during the preceding weeks? Perhaps you should visit an STI clinic without delay.

Did your mother not teach you that it is at least very impolite and at most highly offensive to ask questions about someone's sex life?

And to compound the offence, you are asking impertinent questions about STIs. Please cease casting nasturtiums immediately.

Nasturtiums, of course! Highly allergenic. Dafyd, do you grow nasturtiums?

Thank you, Kingsfold. I buy your sliced bread every day.
