C'mon Vespizzare... The only one who has rubbed anything in anyone's face is the author of the quote above. Chill. This is a special place in the World of forums, it is neither a kindergarten or a back alley gutter. Sure, it's kinda PG-13, but it's sure not rated R, X, or NC-17. (movie ratings for the Brits)The word you are so offended about has become a commonly accepted adult catch all for the word "stuff."

If you check the last two pages of this thread, you see a lot of witty banter and innuendos with absolutely NOTHING being too far over the line and horribly dirty. Your objection is noted, so hopefully it won't bother you now. So relax, brother, I'll buy you a beer at a future NorCal/SoCal scooter event and we'll talk some sh..... Stuff.

There is quite a difference between a general, random swear word like s**t versus a sexist, personally directed slam against another member. Even if it was to try to make a point, you just crossed a line. Don't be a jackass.

Seriously? Don't be an ass (as in donkey) - Wouldn't want to get slammed for unacceptable language. This was a pretty lighthearted thread that generated some laughs until some got "Holier than Thou".

Greetings, Mere Mortals.

Scotty J's post above outed him as being a just another pathetic reincarnation of Raiderfn31 and Al Davis. Different name, same fecal material.

He has now joined his alter egos in the trash bin.

Nemo the bunny gets valium to help him with his nystagmus and other things. So the first time i went to pick it up they asked me for his b'day and i'm like "i don't know he won't tell me"(he's a rescue and doesn't do b'days) The guy behind the counter goes "you are related,right" and i'm like "yup i'm his mom". You should of seen the stare that i got. Wha? emoticon Then it dawns on me they think i named my kid Nemo. Laughing emoticon Now that's a California thing. He turned red in the face when i told him that it was for a bunny. Rest of the gang there was cracking up.

There was a show I think on TLC channel. They did one episode of this show, can't remember the name unfortunately and the guy they did the show on had the worlds record biggest penis. He actually was rather depressed about it. Rendered him basically a novelty

He's not my Sheriff. I vote against him every time he runs. His winning margin has been steadily declining. He only won by a slim margin in the last election. I think his time has come. Hopefully he'll be out after the next election.

The asshat claims to save money but the number of petty crimes that get adjudicated has to be breaking the bank. Sad. We finally have drug courts here and are meeting with success. A hand up is cheaper than a kick down. We calculated the cost of incarceration when we ran group homes for chemically dependent kids. We could be providing free educations for far less money. People can and do recover/change. But without opportunity are destined to the same cycle.

I was so convinced that it said "Zombie Princess" that I had to go back to confirm that it was indeed "Zombie Process" instead.
