FIRST! WHOOOOO!!!

Um...

I have nothing else to add.

Okay, this is old, but since Harry Knowles was mentioned earlier, I figured now was as good a time as any to stroll down memory lane and re-read Film Threat's takedown of Knowles and AICN.

There could be unintended consequences. If the son's is bigger, the dad might turn gay.

NYC wants to take the trans fat out of restaurant food. They can have it when they pry it from my cold, dead colon.

I think Mr. Dobson has some issues he needs to come to terms with. Quickly. Before he ends up on one of those new neighborhood watchlists.

I remember reading about a guy who went through aversion therapy, where they show you gay porn while administering electric shocks. He developed a sexual fetish for electric shocks.

Wouldn't it be more appropriate for them to be pounding round pegs into square holes?

Ectually, that quote is from Dr. Joseph Nicolosi's book entitled "Sashay Your Way Out of Fagdom."

Just kidding. It's called something else.

But it's not a Dobson quote.

Skinbad says this happened not far away from him.

It could have been much, much worse.

Sashay Your Way Out of Fagdom

Heh.

I think Dobson (and the church in general) has been far too focused on homosexuality over the past decade or so.

Driving at "high rates of speed", over curving mountain roads, while hauling a large load of explosives, doesn't seem like a survival trait to me...

The only trucks this moron should be driving are made by Tonka.

Come on guys, Dobson is clearly quoting from the Bible:

"Spare the rod, spoil the child."

(Jay Leno... call your office.)

I haven't listened to Dobson regularly in years, but Mom always had him on back in the day. I don't remember a much talk of homosexuality.

Then again, it wasn't as big a topic in the 80s. We were more worried about how McFly was going to get back to the future without doinking his own mother.

But is anyone surprised that Dobson thinks one can change or prevent homosexual behavior? He's a psychologist, and changing & preventing undesirable behavior is pretty much the whole of his profession.

How does the Elfstones of Shannara factor into all of this?

Isn't there some kind of rule against calling something an open thread, and then later posting a piece anyway? I mean, the point is to not have a topic, so nobody cares about being off topic. Now you have sandbagged us with a frigging topic.

I know you think we're morons, but did you really think you could get away with such a blatant violation of the Unwritten Bloggers' Code of Conduct.

brutalizing Bangkok boywhoredom and forcing him to "service" sixty Japanese businessmen on "golfing vacations" in a single day.

It didn't work ...

Don't I know it, buddy. Don't I know it.

The MSM would certainly agree with you.

I don't hear much about it on Sundays, but I admit that's anecdotal.

Excuse me for pointing out the obvious, but if you are a towering pillar of macho testosterone... how likely is it that you are reading books or listening to radio programs about parenting by Dr. James Dobson?

I mean, I agree with the dude on most stuff, but I don't actually listen to him...

The UN has bravely stepped forward and declared themselves "seriously concerned" at the Iranian nuclear program. I'm sure we can all sit back and breathe a little easier now that the UN's concern has been expressed in such a brave and forthright way. If the Iranians don't back off, they might be subject to the dreaded "UN wagging finger of Doom", or (in extremis) the horrible "strongly-worded protest"!

If my dad had pulled a stunt like that, it wouldn't have effected my sexual orientation one way or the other. What it would have done, though, is make me very uncomfortable. Traumatized, even.

Oops, I forgot to sign in. That last post was me.

Dobson didn't write that penis bit. He was quoting someone else. Do you endorse everything somebody says when you quote them?

Ok, some of you New Yorkers must have already heard of this

I guess nothing exists until it happens in NYC. The real geeks among us are probably aware the one man Star Wars Trilogy has been travelling around for a couple years now.

Well, in Maine, we have to worry about this guy. He's head of the Christian Civic League here in the state and his entire focus over the past few years has been homosexuality. In the past few years, he's accused the governor of having a "gay gene" and threatened to out legislators.

This guy has managed to hurt the reputation of Christians and conservatives with his ridiculous hyperfocus on "sodomites" (yes, he uses that word) over the years.

It's maddening.

I hear you Slub.

His problem (like Pat Robertson did) is to focus on one sin to the exclusion of all others.

And many Christians do that.

Yeah, you don't really see Christians rising up to protest the sin of gluttony.

Yes, you do:

Slublog, you fatass! Lay off the desserts!

And for crying out loud, can you limit yourself at the buffet to only the amount of meringue that will fit in your stomach?

Hey, meringue is light and fluffy!

And I can stop whenever I want.

I hate when billiard tables have some color felt other than green.
