Laminar, sorry, but in your commendable effort to be funny foolish, you just went overboard.

Ah, the strikethrough. Still a hilarious joke after all these years.

I desperately looked for a screengrab of the chalkboard, but I couldn't find it.

Yeah, Google Image Searching for "Wonder Years Uterus" didn't turn up a lot of helpful results.

Point made, Laminar, but I think this point could have been made with a toothpick rather than a jousting lance...

I don't think that I have the guts to do that, especially with Safe Search off.

It's ironic that you'd mention "guts."

I LOLed.

I'm not one to want to be singled out among males, but it's kind of inevitable since (a)I'm not one, and (b)my profession and hobbies are completely dominated by testosterone.

Maybe the chicks in here should have custom stars. That way, newcomers aren't completely shocked to find out that yes, there are women who like geeky stuff.

Anyhow...who all here is female? I know there's andi*pandi, kerivit, myself, and angelmb. There have to be more than four, though...

What are you? A f**king library of obscure pop-culture references or something?

My girlfriend is registered but rarely posts.

My ex used to be a semi-regular around here for a short period.

I’m equally sure she weighs more than a piece of toast, but less than the Moon.

You recruit your female acquaintances on this board?

I was thinking like a small little magic button. It is hard to find sometimes...

I commend you in the highest for not stooping to using the old "men refuse to ask for directions" joke here.

Laminar seemed to have killed the spirit of this thread, and I, for one, would like to see some more humorous examples of stars.

IMO this would be the ideal replacement for women's stars:

Quite a few OT and/or insulting posts have been tidied over the past week, where tidied = swept under the rug.



The thread is still getting reported, mostly for vague references that might or might not be insults. The original topic has been answered, and I've no idea where the thread topic is today.
