Now I have to ask is there is a “BBS Reply of the Year” poll somewhere.
“Hello, 911? There is a man sitting outside my salon staring at us menacingly while polishing what appears to be a very small gun. Like a derringer or something. How fast can you get here?”
Looks like Lee Ermy.
That click-bating headline is the click-bate-iest headline that ever bated a click.
Agree in principle with comment below: a quick dose with a watering hose will calm him down. If that fails, add a fertilizing mixture as if you’re feeding your plants.
I suspect that the new commentator thought he was being extremely clever by using the word ‘erect’ in a sentence.
Hair dye would make it easier to identify the culprit, especially if it’s in a unusual color.
Hydrogen peroxide likely would stop the culprit’s behavior, especially if they have any scratches on their lower torso or upper legs.
A can of hair spray and a lighter springeth to my mind.
Let the horses run free.
Sounds like the time has come to regularly clear the pavement/sidewalk in front of the window with a hose-pipe and a firm yardbrush. Carelessly, Vigorously.
Now I come to think of it, this might be fighting fire with fire, as it were…
It fell a bit flat though, kind of a limp delivery and somewhat flaccid response where the crowd didn’t really rise to it.
To dry him off after the bucket of water, no doubt.
Unless you were born yesterday, you should already know that minimizing sexual assault is not funny. I should not have to tell you that it’s not funny. If Chris Rock made a joke minimizing sexual assault, it would not be funny. It’s insulting and demoralizing and we’re sick of it not being taken seriously.
Velcome to Boing Boing, comrade; don’t quit your day job.
I wouldn’t worry overly if Mindy’s comment upset you. It takes newer users time to accommodate to any new social milieu. And over time, members will always come to a fairly accurate conclusion on someone’s sincerity and intentions.
The question is, why do you want to make people who think it’s “funny” to imply women need to cover themselves up or hide themselves to be free of sexual harassment and assault smile and laugh? Those are not good people. Seriously.
Because that’s just the way things are, and us women are just going to have to laugh and accept it… /s
