johnnyguitar Posted November 7, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Which reminds me that we've lost the entire point of this thread, which was to take the right royal piss out of the hypocritical bum-bandit, Ted Haggard. Is that the correct use of a hyphen? Or should there be one between 'right' and 'royal'? I suspect there might just be a comma. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

blind-fitter Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 It occurred to me with hindsight that "bum-sex" doesn't really work in this context as, strictly speaking, turd-burglary is not an exclusively homosexual practice. For the sake of accuracy and, (by way of happy coincidence), upping our hyphen-quotient, the phrase "male-on-male bum-action scandal" might prove adequate.

daslied Posted November 7, 2006 Report Share Posted November 7, 2006 Yes, I know what it means. The "joke" was about his focus and determination. And no, it wasn't a knock on anybody currently in that field. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For the sake of accuracy and, (by way of happy coincidence), upping our hyphen-quotient, the phrase "male-on-male bum-action scandal" might prove adequate. Hmmm...interesting. Leaving aside the tautological concept of viewing 'bum-sex' with hindsight (is there another way?) and ignoring the oxymoronic use of 'coining' someone else's phrase..."the beast with two backs", to coin a Spenserian colloquialism). I do feel you may have, indeed, a point. Quite which way it's pointing... is another question. I know I am on somewhat dodgy ground when deriding someone's legitimate right to express their sexuality with another consenting adult (or, indeed, paid employee....in this case) and the form of their congress should be of complete indifference to me. Similarly, whilst illegal in most states, the use of stimulant drugs to enhance the pleasure of said act should not, in itself, attract my opprobrium. Neither the act of fudge pushery, nor the use of illegal substances have any bearing on Ted's right to an opinion on the tenability of evolutionary theory....so, he is not really a hypocrite at all. He's still a twat though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnnyguitar Posted November 8, 2006 Author Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 It gets better. Apparently one of his fellow Pastors (Pastor Mark Driscoll)in the church has said that Pastor's wives have a tendancy to 'let themselves go a bit' after they marry (and have five of their children) and they feel so secure, once they've snagged a Pastor, that they get a bit lazy....so, it's her fault then. The Lord really does move in mysterious ways... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daslied Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 30 seconds is what guys do best. Rachel and B-F - 'twas a bad joke, as evidenced by the forthcoming explanation. If you (being B-F) applied yourself to curing cancer with the same passion that you do in curing grammatical errors...Good times. Anyhoo... And Rachel, I didn't think you were offended.
