you're full of funny today alex.

 

[lizard]

aubergines sound too much like dark people in a jungle. if I were to say, "all right, let's all sit down to a nice tasty plate of aubergine parmesian" I would feel like a cannibal.

 

[minxnim]

best response ever.

 

[lizard]

or suppose you were a baby, say....and you were in a nursery......and you noticed another baby nudge a second baby and then they both start checking out your plump baby thighs....

and they begin advancing in a slow crawl, separating to envelop your tender baby ass in a pincer movement, ala female lions at a watering hole....

 

[minxnim]

pincer = good choice of words

 

[lizard]

haha I didn't quite think of the ramifications...

I want xfer to flash on chewing on tender aubergine flesh when he's eating that eggplant.

 

[xfer]

aubergine actually sounds more vegetable to me, probably because i know someone who actually refers to black people as "eggplants".

 

[goatschool]

i like eggplant, some say maybe even i am one.

 

[minxnim]

no you're BURMESE nix.

 

[FuSoYa]

i'd have to say i'm with lizard here, but mainly because "aubergine" reminds me of the word "aboriginal."

notice each word contains the letters a, b, r, g, and n - and in that exact order! i can see an immigrant (my mother?) possibly getting these two words confused.

[mindspell]

Wouldn't aubergine remind you of "auberge" as in an inn?

Eggplants are really nice when cooked properly. That sounded mighty nice xfer. I like to roast the bastard whole on the grill for an hour or so and then do all sorts of nice middle eastern things...

 

[The Dope]

...and then do all sorts of nice middle eastern things...

What, like suicide bomb them?

 

[mindspell]

Is that supposed to be a joke?

I am offended by this comment. You better lay off the stupid, uninformed and irrespectuous comments like that because I am going to give you more heat than you are able to swallow.

Sorry guys but that just pisses me off.

 

[The Dope]

Wow. I really don't see how this could be taken as anything but a joke.

I mean, that would be a horrible way to prepare eggplant, at least in my opinion.



Unless you were joking in your post, in which case I must have misunderstood.

I was not joking. Your post was offensive and disrespectful, bad jokes are like that.

 

[The Dope]

I find the fact that this offends you strange, considering the frequency of Middle East/Serbia/rape camp/etc jokes on this board.

 

[The Dope]

Not saying you can't have your own opinions about what is offensive, just perhaps that you should be a bit more selective. No sense in being overzealous in labeling things offensive.

 

[mindspell]

Jokes that are well focused on certain events I don't mind, gross generalizations I do.

 

[The Dope]

What about gross generalizations focused on certain events?
