DanKroh 11 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 "You guys all sound pretty gay to me, but I won't assume you are homos. And if you were, I wouldnt think any less of you." Pappy, do you have any clue how derogatory this is? Do you often go around calling people "homos"? Personally, I couldn't give a rip what you think about me or my orientation. But you certainly proved my point. Link to post Share on other sites

Merlyn_LeRoy 72 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 About the funniest thing I've read about idiots who call people "homo" was written by a gay man who noted how it's ironic to try and show how different you are from someone you detest by shouting the greek word for "same" at them.

packsaddle 753 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 You know, it was more fun talking about 'ilk'. Pappy can call me anything he wants and I'm fine with it. He couldn't come close to what my wife can do. But Dan, "Pack, the lack of concern for your tenture seems to be related to the presence of a Y chromosome in your genome." Or...it could be that I'm old so it doesn't much matter what happens anymore. You know what I call this? I call it 'freedom', perhaps even 'liberation'. I can do or say pretty much anything that comes to mind and people here just chalk it up to the cantankerous old guy. I DO so much want to be a successful curmudgeon like 'you-know-who' on these forums. Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Give it up, pack. You're too amiable to ever be a curmudgeon; just an irritating, effete liberal. Me, I'm satisfied with being a "troublemaker". Link to post Share on other sites

scoutmomma 10 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Can we go back to the Benevolent Protective Order of Ilks? I'm kinda getting to like the sound of the ol' BPOI. I keep hearing Groucho Marx in my head talking about the "ilks running when they find out it's only a waterhole. What they're looking for is an ilkohol!" I think I could use a little ilkohol right now. Link to post Share on other sites
Lisabob 13 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I dunno, I'm not so sure about the BPOI. I've heard tell that we ilks are downright dangerous sorts, or at the very least, that we are destructive in nature (destructive of what, I'm not entirely sure - have to work on that). So I think that raises real questions about whether or not we are either benevolent or protective. I'm ok with the "Order" part although I'm not sure we're really a very orderly group.

OldGreyEagle 5 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 I understand Lisabob, reminds of the time a friend of mine got kicked out of the local Anarchy club, seems he wouldnt follow the rules... Link to post Share on other sites
Trevorum 24 Posted February 20, 2008 Share Posted February 20, 2008 Ilk aren't destructive - we're subversive. Link to post Share on other sites
