That's because all of you Argentinians belong INSIDE A CAVE.

By the way, do you know what's the Argentinian word for "nurse"?
"Nurse".

electro-shock used to be used (and still is occasionally) to correct neurological disorders. not saying being gay is bad in anyway but understanding that gay people are born gay it's possible it's related to their wiring. maybe this can be 'corrected' through ect as well.

Electro-shocking is just plain cruel and I think all doctors have abandoned that method because they don't know what exactly it supposedly fixed. It couldn't be calculated, measured, or show visible results... unless, you're measuring how tramatic it is.

Yet, it's still being used in non-medically established places because they're saying that gayness is, in part, something about the wiring of the brain. Yet, ironically, these non-doctors are not willing to admit that homosexuality could be a biological component of people.

Why hasn't the government come down hard on these "ex-gay camps"? They're running facilities that requires both doctorial and psycological credentials but these folks clearly haven't obtained them legally. It's malpractice.

But then we have Christmas entering the ring.....

And then, after a strong run, Easter comes firing in (unless, of course, if you're Chinese).

Is Oktoberfest considered a holiday?

okay...
St. Patrick's, Cinco de Mayo, Oktoberfest....

You know, I've never been to an Oktoberfest. Ever. And I think there's a famed one in Gilroy where they combine the Garlic Festivals closely to Oktoberfest. (or at least, for Garlic varieties that ripen during the autumn... Garlic usually is a crop harvest by July or August.)

Unless you were going to shove the entire case up their ass, it would be a futile effort. I would sooner suggest using an auger bit used for electrical wiring. You can usually get them in 1 1/2" to 2" sizes up to three feet long a piece...

Or you could be really sadistic and just buy a two-inch dowel rod and start carving on it.

It used to be seen as a medical cure-all at the time, much like labotomies. But these days, use of electroshock therapy (in serious medical institutions anyway) is usually reserved as a last ditch effort to help a patient suffering from severe depression that's unresponsive to medication, and some forms of schizophrenia.

But I wonder about how it's being applied in these ex-gay camps... I just have this weird vision of people chasing after each other with stun guns going "IT WILL ONLY HURT FOR A SECOND, I SWEAR!!!"

I'm so sick of seeing Christmas stuff right now that it's not even funny. Our store has been open now for mabey a week, two at the most, and we already had all our Christmas stuff in before we opened.

And now there's talk of the outdoor garden center getting in live Christmas Trees. WTF?!

Just give some Lime or Lemon sorbet, and squeeze in a dash of lime juice with some orange zest...
but then the making a child version of an adult thing would be like the equivalent those cigarette gums... which is, sort of bad, I guess.

By the way, I got caught with the grownups at a family birthday party today and I'd just like to thank you guys for keeping me well versed enough to talk about politics while little kids sorted pokemon cards two feet away. In retrospect they were kind of like general......

I went to our craft store the other day and there was 1 1/2 aisles of halloween stuff. The rest of the store was Christmas. It was like 90 degrees outside.

Every year, the schools open earlier and earlier, the stores get their seasonal products in earlier... why don't we just go ahead and get it over with and have Christmas in July already, you know some used car salesman somewhere will enjoy it.

I don't like being near the adults in my family.

I'd of been playing pokemon with the little cousins

Yeah but I figured ast that point knowing a the worth of a foil charizard might negatge my stance on the middle east.

chances are the younger cousins didn't properly build their decks, you could have easily of walked home with some extra pokecards

yeah, they probably have like 4 types of energy on one some deck.
Kids nowadays....

I stopped trading cards when someone left a foil Kengaskhan out in the rain on their back deck. I don't even remember WHAT I traded that card away for, but I know I was thoroughly depressed afterwards.

... what?

I still maintain that in real, hardcore, gameboy pokemon my team could beat any of yours

I lost a Venasaur that I had just traded for a Tyrannitar.
I felt ashamed of myself, I hid this fact since I was 12.

I should've put the card in my bag, I should've put the card in my bag....

It's been a few years since I followed the card game or the cartoon series. What are they up to, like, 600 pokemon now or something?

I'm still mad that the Team Rocket series of cards went out of print. Those things kicked ass.

Am I the only guy who traded SPORTS cards as a boy?
Or am I not gay enough?

Blah-- Pokeman cards will never obtain money.
I pity the people who spent 200 bucks on a Char-whatzitz card back in 1999 when it will be worthless in a matter of months.

Charizard. Mine is named Jimmy. I say is because I still have that red cartarage ready and waiting for challengers

On my 10th birthday I received two packages of Pokemon cards as part of the gift, and one of them had a foil Charizard. I set it aside about an hour later in a safe place in my basement, and later, after my friends had gone home, I couldn't find it. To this day I still wonder where it went, though I lost interest in Pokemon not-too-long afterwards. And yeah, I like to think it was actually worthless.

I had baseball cards (true Classicist at work people).

Some of em are worth some money now, especially the rookie cards.

That and I had a ton of GI Joe and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle figurines too.
I had the originals, not the cheap remakes you see nowadays.
Had the original pizza thrower.....which I heard sells on Ebay for about $35-150.....so glad my mom got rid of that one.... :(

I've got other random shit that's probably worth money hidden away somewhere....

I worked a freaken paper route to get my baseball cards and Cap Guns.

Unlike the rest of you rich folk, I had to work to get where I am.

And fuck Political corectness and colleges.

I swear to god, I'm the one fucking group that doesn't get any advantage in the application process, yet my kind is growing smaller all the time.

YEEEAAHHHHH!!!!

I was positively shitty the entire weekend. Saturday woke up at 8:30 and killed a hangover by downing a handle of Jim Bean with my friends. Went next door for a pre game party at around 10:30. Took a keg stand of 50 seconds (I was impressed with myself) and another of 40.

Then from 11:30 to around maybe 3, pure magic. PURE MAGIC.

AWESOME WEEKEND. AWESOME.

I've never actually had any pokemon cards...

I had pogs.

and erm.. a shit-ton of toy cars

and Legos

I know what you mean, dude. I don't mean to bring politics into the lounge or anything, but I mean apparently my skin isn't brown enough to get some fucking financial support, though I need it as much as any ethnic-minority member. I still can't entirely believe EVERY Government application form involving money in any way asks "Are you a member of a visible minority or a disabled person?"

Remind me what the definition of racism is again, you affirmative-action-touting cunts. Fuck.

And if an argument starts up on this in the lounge, I'll probably take it to PM. But I mean...

Fuck.

Oh God, Legos. I may have been into Pokemon for a short time as a kid, but Legos were constantly a part of my childhood, and they outlasted everything else to all fuck. I still think back fondly at all the shit I made. They may be a bit dangerous, as they're easily swallowable, but Lego is still the greatest toy ever dreamed of by man-kind.

I think I still have a slightly-broken-up Lego aircraft I made that ended up being about a meter long and actually rather well-built. I love Legos. :D

oh, thos xkcd...ers...
