Hypocrisy and prurience

[Cow Poke]

Just say "Hypatia" - it's the same thing.

She does seem to have a fascination for all things naughty.

Do you consider the Venus of Willendorf to be pornography? That was the topic of this thread following the removal of an image of this ancient figurine by Facebook.

That's not what I was referencing.

(But since you are in the habit of not answering questions, but hounding others to death if they don't, I'll answer "no")

Maybe just say "prune rent" instead, and then you can explain to people what you mean.

I couldn't say "Grand Ol' Opry", so my speech therapist taught me to say "Grando Loppry". IT WORKED!!!!

(but i still can't say salt and shekker paper )

I've seen similar ideas that are supposed to help when someone has trouble saying certain words. It also makes me think of a story on Jaiden Animations where she mentions that she used to have a lisp. Apparently a friend of their family was Italian and always had stuff like spaghetti. Jaiden would ask for "pathta with no thauth" or "pasta with no sauce". For her all she needed was to be told not to put her tongue against her teeth when trying to make an "S" sound.

I have a deaf friend who has to go for a week to speech therapy because she can't hear her speech deteriorating. She talks about "going for my tune-up".

My parents tell me the reason I speak loudly was back in kindergarten, as I was going deaf, I would keep talking louder because I couldn't hear myself speak. I still mispronounce some words because that's how I heard them. Took years for me to realize it is "Surprise" and not "suprise."

We had a wonderful old man in our congregation who was an honest-to-goodness WWII hero. (You knew, because he never talked about it)

He was STONE DEAF, but we had those wireless "assisted hearing" devices - basically an FM radio receiver - that he would wear with a "cup" over his ear for the sound. He would sit in church listening to the service.

One day, in the middle of my sermon, I saw him get up and walk to the back to the sound board guys, and yell at the top of his voice "THIS THING ISN'T WORKING".

Everybody just kinda chuckled a little, and I went on with my sermon, but it's a classic case of - if you can't hear, you assume nobody else can either.

As previously noted that was the main topic of this thread.

And you are quite correct. She is not pornography.

Are you NEW here?

And you are quite correct. She is not pornography.

Of course I am!

You were so eager to reply to me that you the emendation.

And you're so anxious to be a snit that you couldn't even type a whole sentence.

Duly noted. Perhaps a little humility on your part would not go amiss! Or would that be too much to expect?

I am, without a doubt, the most humble person I know, regardless of what Sparko might claim!
