I am imagining Barbelith on three lager shandies. It is a hellish place.

Oh, Cosmic Firepaws. So young, still.

There'll always be a part that has to stay young.

Id - yes, yes. She is not mine, nor do I own any other person male or female living or dead. I beleive I was satirising myself.

Flyboy, do you really like Hadouken? I might have to give them another listen.

I honestly don't know if I like Hadouken, much in the same way Jez didn't know on Peep Show whether he had to take a bite of dead dog.

I know that I like My Chemical Romance, though.

Ex-Legba, why don't you start a Crystal Castles thread in the Music forum? Or I could just move this one there; I hardly think it's worth being fussy in times like these.

Id Entity, why is Allecto's comment something that makes you uncomfortable when Justrix and Mos Nolte have already highly objectified the woman from CC and made her a sexual object based purely on her looks? I think you should either narrow your focus and accept that Allecto's comment is fair in light of the photo context or broaden it and talk in the context of this thread's attitude to this woman's appearance. Either way I feel quite emphatically that something is wrong with the way you chose to tackle this.

Aye, feel free to shuffle it over as long as it's understood that it started as a conversation thread and only now is morphing into proper critical thinking mode. Do you really like My Chemical Romance?

By the way:

Actually you know I have to say I think MCR is a good name for a band.

'Kick Out The Jams' is my favourite MCR song.

Anna - I think it might have to do with AL saying "she's mine".. And, with regards to me'n Justrix sexually objectifying her based purely on her looks - maybe you're right. However, something in me wants to scream when I'm told I can't compliment people people be they male- or female-id because that constitutes sexual objectification. Cut to chestburst-scene if you so wish. I'll go look at Feminism 101 again.

Dude, she's not here, you didn't compliment her, you posted a comment about her on a message board.

I always thought crystal castles was an old classic shitty video game where you're a teddy bear in a wizard's hat. with a trackball.

I complimented her, though, last time I saw her. In an old-fashioned yet thoroughly respectful way. I can say with quiet confidence that it made her feel like a woman. Like a beautiful woman.

She would have if she had heard me. I was among a crowd.

Flyboy, I think you may need to consider the notion that she may not have heard you. Why I would go so far as to suggest that some other man or possibly even a young gal made her feel like a real woman. I know this is difficult for you to hear because it makes you feel marginally castrated but I think you need to face practical facts. You did not make her feel like a real woman Flyboy thus you are not a real man.

Are you sure that's not meant for the double entendres thread dude?

Yeah, sorry. I noticed the bad form. I still posted it. I don't remember why. I'm sleepy.

the game had the trackball, not the bear or the hat...well, they might have really, it's hard to tell with the resolution on old video games. sorry, does anyone care? am I the only one who played this game? I was so excited to see it in the retro arcade in portland too...

I should probably just go back to sleep, only I'm at work.

Drunk. Bears. Wizard hat. Trackball. Objectification. She-Ra. This is just begging to grow up into a dirty joke.
 
 
Bear
16:35 / 16.05.07
I'm a drunk bear! Maybe we could just merge this thread with one of the old Lust List threads....

It's got all the standard elements.

There, that's the last element I think.
Let's see if we can make a little song, "A wizard's hat has a trackball on the end..."

according to wikipedia, the band is named after she-ra's castle, not the 'very popular' video game. so keep that in mind.

Can that be the next T shirt please? Skinny fit for hott chicks only? Maybe with a pic of the MJ statuette on the back...

I think the last T-shirt communicated it pretty effectively, dude.
