I proclaim this thread to be the Great Hatrack Peace Thread!
I've been noticing a wee bit of tension between some of our members here. Come! Let us make love not war! Let the bridges be rebuilt! Long live Hatrack! Long live our great e-community and OSC! We can overcome any little miscommunications or even outright insults. Hatrack is worth it. Posted by Hobbes (Member # 433) on :
You know, I've never understood why it's always presented as a choice between "making love" and "making war". Why can't I do niether one?
And actually, making love reaches it's highest peaks about the same time as war, right before a war, and right after (right when all the men think they'll die, and want to keep their genes alive, and right when they all re-enter the society of women most of them have been seperated from for years). So I choose to make niether love, nor war.
Maybe I'll go make scary faces in the corner...
Hobbes Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
I choose to make both love and war! I will make war on the mountain of laundry in the laundry room.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
This now reminds me of my mother's best friend, who had a little poodle. Whenever she took it out to relieve itself, she would say, "Make good for Mommie!"

That's a pretty good spot for making love, too.
Posted by rivka (Member # 4859) on :
Yeah, but do that first. Cuz no one wants to wash the laundry twice in one day.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Depends on how dirty the laundry is, of course. If it's a pile of towels that were wet when they were first piled together, for example, I'm thinking I could find better places to have sex.
Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
Yours was funnier rivka.

Excuse me, but I am NOT airing my dirty laundry here. You people are so naughty!

You know, I've noticed that most fluff threads you post in tend to turn into a discussion of sex, Sara.
Hobbes Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Nah, she is just trying to agitate me. She is not trying to deter gents.
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
I can't help it -- I was drawn that way.
Seriously, I didn't introduce making love, I just embellished on it. Fluffed it up and hung it out to dry, so to speak.
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
You took me for a tumble there, Elizabeth. A lot of spin to that perspective, methinks.

Posted by Morbo (Member # 5309) on :
I was going to send an e-mail, but this is better. I'd like to tell Newfoundlogic that even though we usually seem to be on different sides of issues, I respect his debating skills. Often he has stumped me, supporting his postions so well I give up in despair (even though I just know I'm right!), most recently in that thread on nukes. I was sure I could be convincing that 2 nukes in Japan in WWII was overkill, but in the end I wasn't. I guess we'll just have to agree to disagree on that one.
I look forward to arguing with you in the future, nfl. Posted by Noemon (Member # 1115) on :
I looked and looked, Morbo, but I couldn't find any puns in your post, or any references to sex. I'm thinking you must be in the wrong thread.
Maybe you're just exercising restraint, though; I can certainly respect that. If I could deter gents from making puns around here I might just do the same, but I figure that since I can't, All I can do is Shout helplessly as I'm washed out to sea by the rising Tide of puns around here.

That might be a good idea for a new thread Sara. Of course, we'd have to iron out the details first to make sure we didn't touch on any taboo subjects--otherwise I could see people getting pretty steamed about it.

I was only asking him to come make a daisy chain with me. Does that mean something I'm not aware of? I wasn't telling him to go sit on a washing machine. What do I look like to you? Dr. Ruth?

Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
Um, Tammy, I'm pretty sure that there is some naughty connotation to "daisy chain," too.
You probably don't want to look it up on Google. I'm pretty sure of that, too.

Somehow, Rakeesh is not the first person that comes to my mind.
I don't even think he's in the first 10.
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
I Googled. I sure did. I must not know how to google properly. I came up with pictures of little girls making daisy chains, pictures of daisy jewelry and some kind of daisy chain electronic part. I didn't go to page two of course. I admit I was a little scared.
So, my opinion remains the same, making a daisy chain is a chaste activity.
Dirty, Dirty minds. No wonder you hang out in the laundry room so often! Posted by katharina (Member # 827) on :
I don't think I could name ten innocent Mormon boys here.
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
Okay, I went to Page 2.
I believe with safe search not filtering the search you could type the most innocent, chaste words in and come up with filth. Dirty dogs!

My feelings would have been mutilated.

What?? Oh! Oh, Tammy, I'm sorry. I didn't even think about that! Gyah.
Turns out that Kama and I just agree that the Innocent Hatrack Mormon Boys probably get followed around by unicorns.

OH MY G** !!!!!!!!!!
I just googled "daisy chain." Had to.
Try "sexual connotations of daisy chain."
Sara Sasse, what have you done? Another innocent past-time gone into the muck. Can I do my laundry now without thinking of sex? I cannot. Can I eat chicken wothout thinking of sex? Nope. Now I cannot thread flowers into a chain without thinking of what I am now thinking of.
Now I am off to the band potluck dinner. What will be there to sully my mind?

I can't speak for Dag, Sara, but you do quite a bit for me.

That's fortunate, because googling daisy chains are illegal in 13 states.

Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Tammy, I hope you MEANT to say flute and daisy chain in the same sentence, because if not? Well, my dear, if you did it by accident, you are by far the most innocent naughty poster I have ever witnessed.
The band potluck dinner went off without a hitch. I was able to be completely mature, even in my own mind.

Posted by Ophelia (Member # 653) on :
Potluck is pretty dirty to anyone who's seen the play Death Comes to Us All, Mary Agnes. Which is probably not that many people, when I think about it. I have no idea how my theater director could have thought that play was appropriate for high-schoolers to put on for a competition . . .
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
Elizabeth, yes, I'm afraid it was no accident. I apologize if it offended.
You see, I'm so tired of innocent words being swallowed by the Great Ugly.
Why can't words mean just what they're suppose to mean?
Why is the world so complicated?
Posted by Sara Sasse (Member # 6804) on :
Because some wicked people are on a mission to run around deflowering innocent minds.
Duh.
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
A mission you say? Oh no...are we back to flaming the poor Mormon boys?
*draws peace symbols in the sand with a stick of driftwood*
Deflowering? Who would steal an innocents daisies? Dogs!

I suspect that the Innocent Hatrack Mormon Boys have had to work fairly hard to stay that way, so I am not worried for them.
Posted by Elizabeth (Member # 5218) on :
Tammy, I am only offended in the "I Take Offense" thread. I just thought, oh my goodness, she REALLY walked into it this time, mentioning the "flute" and all, in conjunction with the daisy chain. Jeepers.
Meanwhile, I am desperately trying to turn my laundry room back into a regular laundry room, the way it used to be.
Posted by Tammy (Member # 4119) on :
OH Elizabeth, if you only knew how many times I actually do walk into it.
I didn't think I offended you. I was messing with ya.
