Fundamentalist Christian in Amphetamine Fuelled Gay Sex Scandal

[johnnyguitar]

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.

[Steel2Velvet]

He has probably handled his own disgrace in such a wayward fashion that he no longer needs a push from behind by anyone.

Somebody get Blind-Fitter and Johnny a radio show. Please.

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]

You know, the field of oncology is begging for people like you.

[invisible_r]

oncology is actually the study of cancer, I assume that's not what you meant

[daslied]

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.

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!

just in case (because misunderstandings tend to happen a lot around here,) I wasn't offended or anything like that, I just didn't understand the relevance of what you said.

[blind-fitter]

I was rather puzzled myself.

Would that my "focus and determination" extended to the realm of work.....

Surely "fudge pushery" should be hyphenated? Do you never learn???

[DiggsUK]

So much debate about where a man can place his hyphen...

[DiggsUK]

Personally, the thought of a speeding christian fundamentalist with bible in one hand and tool in the other makes me smile... I don't know why!

[johnnyguitar]

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...

[blind-fitter]

Hello everyone. It's time to play "Spot The Misplaced Apostrophe"!

[The Seeker]

Is it "Pastors' wives" instead of "Pastor's wives"?

[Tenacious_Peaches]

Hello everyone. It's time to play "Spot The Misplaced Apostrophe"!

Pastor's - should be Pastors' wives.

What do I win, b-f? I prefer monetary prizes.

[The Seeker]

Ahem. First come, first served.

[Tenacious_Peaches]

You must have beat me by about 30 seconds.

[RonJonSurfer]

Punctuate him right upside his head.

[daslied]

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. I just figured I'd put a disclaimer in there.

[johnnyguitar]

I don't suppose you'd believe me if I told you Ted had several wives?

[blind-fitter]

Hmmm...interesting. Leaving aside the tautological concept of viewing 'bum-sex' with hindsight (is there another way?)....

I think I know what you mean, but realistically bum-sex could be viewed with foresight, (e.g if one were planning ahead).... or wide-eyed anticipation, even...

[daslied]

[blind-fitter]

As for this:

and ignoring the oxymoronic use of 'coining' someone else's phrase...

Are you always so chuffing pernickety?
