Well, to be fair, they are very nice ashtrays.

Hmmm... o.k. What about these http://www.smokersoutpost.com/shopping/product.asp?sku=10604B&category_id=3
( I don't know how to do the link like you did)

Wait . . . what does this have to do with sex?

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

Yeah! Where's the sex?

Posted by Tante Shvester (Member # 8202) on :

Well, Lynx's link looks kind of, um, phallic. And Speed's does have a certain, uh, yonic quality. [Blushing]

I think in a fight between sex and ashtrays, sex would win every time.

I admit that it would be hard to tell which has had a hand in the death of more people.

Posted by King of Men (Member # 6684) on :

No, actually, it wouldn't; sex wins hands down. Sex -> babies -> funerals. Trivial.

Posted by Brinestone (Member # 5755) on :

Not to mention all the women who have ever died in childbirth.

Posted by Dan_raven (Member # 3383) on :

Just whatever you do, don't confuse the too.

Not relevant. One pregnancy implies one death, whatever the actual cause.

Posted by Narnia (Member # 1071) on :

Lynx, dobies are threads whose titles parody the title of another existing thread. This thread was a dobie of the "Sox vs. Astros" thread. The point is to make a title that looks close enough to the original that people might accidentally click on it.

Some dobie scholars think that you need a link in the first post that has something to do with your dobie title (preferrably a funny link) but I don't hold with that school of thought. If the title is funny, or if it's good enough that you accidentally click on it, that should suffice.

The dobie is named after a former Hatrack poster who began the tradition and did it excessively. [Smile]

At first I thought this was about on old Madonna site/link, but then I realized the title says "vs.".

Am I the only one who finds it ironic that someone whose screen name is "Lynx" doesn't know how to make links? [Razz]
