It’s a gang thing - I recognize the set in the photo; that’s Doc Johnson territory. Bad scene in Portland right now…wrong place, wrong time, and you’re collateral damage in a drive-by slapping…
Shoes on the line iz an old location indicator, ereybuddy knows that. If you don’t, ya better axk sumbody. Hanging erections in PTowne? Must b a territorial hoe thing.
But I bet the used ones are really cheap.
These must be for good luck! In ancient Rome, these were called fascinum and used to ward off the evil eye.
Saw article about this on BBC today:
It’s this kind of thing that gets me really wondering about the dumb things some people fret over:
When I was a kid, I used to hear “It’s all fun and games until somebody loses an eye.” I guess that, to some people, seeing a rubber penis ranks up there with the trauma of being maimed for life. Think of the children, because so many of them are offended by sex toys? I seriously doubt it.
OMFG, you might have to explain sex to your children.
Or just lie a bit.
“Daddy, what are those things on the power lines?”
- “What, those? I dunno, stuff I guess, from idiots. Don’t mess with power lines, boy.”
I don’t recommend it as policy, but damn parents it’s okay to cut yourself some slack and throw up a bit o’ the old foggy. They don’t need to know everything every time all the time.
And if you’re concerned about “family values”, just explain that they’re devices that married persons use on each other.
Kid: What are those?
Me: Well, you know your special erotic toys at home?
Kid: Yes… (giggles)
Me: Same thing, but hung up by someone as a joke.
My mom would’ve pointed them out to me if I didn’t notice 'em. “Lookit the dildos, sweetie! That shit’s hilarious!”
Dildos make everything more fun.*
*Most of the time.
You give your kid young enough to need explanations “special erotic toys?” That seems…questionable.
Garden implements aren’t jealous types, as far as I’m aware. But, “location indicator”? Location for what?
Location indicator is vocabulary for “The Dealer” Do I need to be any more clear???It is an ole school marker befo the 5-0 figured it out.
10-4, good buddy.
Kids of that age can earn their own toys! Or better yet, make their own.
But I wouldn’t go so far as to say that: “If you’ve seen one erotic toy, you’ve seen them all.” There are many different kinds, sizes, shapers, materials, etc. Also, situational context counts for something - people do not always recognize something if it is encountered where they do not expect to see it.
