Like sticking it toTHE STINKING CAPITALIST PIGS.
Or, you know, thong underwear and a new piercing.

When I went to visit my relative in NYC last year I met a few people of all walks of life and one of them dropped in a conversation, that an average middle class American male lives in fear of sexual harrassment charges all his life. And I said to myself: no wonder that there are more and more openly gay people around, once males fear and hate females. Or did I get a biased and incomplete picture? Or that Canadian friend of mine, who was describing a cute girl that he saw on the bus one day… When I asked him if he approached her, he opened his eyes wide and shouted: ‘To get charged with stalking?’… Well, he might be of a shy characted maybe, but if he’s got that idea, he’s got it for a reason, has not he?
That’s a great idea for a business, selling anti-capitalist T-shirts, coffee mugs, mouse pads, bumper stickers, hats, jackets, sports bags, etc.
How about a CHE T-shirt with a Bar-Heart Day logo??
Or maybe get the thing in a “Body-Art” statement!
So how do you know thongs stick? (he asked innocently but with a grin)
It just proves that the entrepenurial spirit is alive and well or to put it another way: Anything for a buck.
Being an old fashioned kind of guy, I still wish the ladies a Happy Valentine’s Day (and a Merry Christmas too). They can do what they want with it.

I don’t think that the picture that you got was biased or incomplete. Most of the women here in Silicon Valley are nasty towards men. The exceptions are nearly always either women who were born in another country or women whose parents were born in another country. The rest of the women describe any desire on a man’s part for a woman who is nice as a desire for a subservient woman, although what men want (or at least what I want) is simply for women to be as nice to men as other men are.
What is the appeal of Thong underwear? Is it to remind the wearer their butt has a crack in it?
Are they designed to tickle the fancy?
In Ontario we have a Gay Provincial Health Minister who said he would possibly wear a thong for his upcoming wedding to his “Boy? Friend” of 18 months. It will be a casual affair apparently.
Liz J,Furious George is gay?Someone should warn the bride that he has serious anger management issues.He is the groom isn’t he?I’ll never look at him the same again.
St. Valentine’s Day is always a good time to remember what happens when the state bans booze:

By the way, if possible, phone your mother and wish her a Happy Valentine’s Day. Based on a sample space of 1, I find they tend to appreciate it.
Thing , Thing a thong
make it thimple to last your Hole life long.

Thing a thong.

“From ballads to silver screen affairs, our creative works have always offered a window into our notions of love. But today our culture is increasingly marked by depictions of self-doubt, sexual gratification, promiscuity and infidelity. Cynicism has become the bedrock of our modern music, television shows and films, according to romance experts.
The trend raises one question: Is traditional romance on its deathbed?
“For the most part, there seems to be very little affection, very little euphoria — very little old-fashioned notions of romance, fire and true love,” says Robert Thompson, director of Syracuse University’s Center for the Study of Popular Television. “It’s all over the place. If you were to watch a sitcom, you’d think we were in a post-romantic period… Even with shows presumably about ‘happily-married’ couples, they tend to be only occasionally tender relationships, but mostly acidic, nasty, battles-of-the-sexes.”
Sitcoms such as Everybody Loves Raymond, The War at Home and According to Jim are a far cry from the loving family units of Leave it to Beaver, The Brady Bunch or ’80s sitcoms such as The Cosby Show and Family Ties.
“Everybody Loves Raymond was supposed to be the last bastion of romance on the TV sitcom,” Thompson says. “And on a traditional scale of romance, I would have given that relationship a 1 or a 2.”

Sorry Kate, didn’t get you a thong or any body art. How about a nice simple “Happy Valentines Day”
Cal2 – the Karen Carpenter thing was twisted and cruel – I loved it! 🙂
Also, as a mature 47 yr-old male I also fear the ‘sexual harassment’ schtick. There are many things that I would have said to women that I work with 20 years ago that I would never utter nowadays. I save my smart-a** remarks for some dear female friends who I have known for quite a while. The ones that share the same kind of humour I do.
But Happy Valentine’s Day to everyone anyway! (I can’t get into too much trouble here…)
Kate: Happy Valentine’s Day!
Sexual harasment is just one arrow in a whole quiver of trouble men have to deal with in Corporate America thase days. Creating a Hostile Work Environment is another great one.
That’s where if a man objects to being told off by one of the women in front of everybody the chicks all get together and claim they felt “threatened”. Companies are so petrified of being sued they will fire the guy just to shut the hens up.
Its one reason women are starting to outnumber men in the medical profession. Nurses can’t pull this crap on female doctors, so women last longer in hospital settings.
Happy late VD, er , you know what I mean…;)
I agree that women can be over sensitive and not able to join in on jokes at the workplace.
However, people-men or women-still have to take someone to task if they feel they are being sexually harassed.
I have a friend who, after just starting a job, was being talked down to by a man in her office (he had been there for 10 years ). One morning, she walked in and he looked her over and said ” You look good enough to eat!”
Over the line? Absolutely.
Uncomfortable? Incredibly.
She almost quit that day but ended up making a complaint to her boss. Thankfully, it worked out and no one lost their jobs over it.
And did you see this among the list of 10 people never to date again?
“Bragging Belinda. If you’ve cut your hand, hers was so bad, it became gangrenous. You’ve got a stomach pain, but it doesn’t quite match up to her suspected intestinal tumour. Belinda brags non-stop about everything – from her family, to her finances, to her cushy jobs. Nothing you do can come close to what she’s experienced. Belinda has devastatingly low self-esteem, which is why she finds it necessary to do a constant PR job on herself. Hit the road – you don’t feel like propping up someone’s sagging self-esteem for thirty years.”
