Wondering about two things.

1. How liberal can this board be about cussing?

2. The reason for this thread. #1 was spur of the moment. Any rules or restrictions on using gif's or jpg's as a sig?

Ironduke

Cussing can be used as long as it isn't used to namecall, as soon as they are starred.

bigross86

Is stuff like Jesus Chr!st or Holy Sh!t allowed?

I just posted "holy ****" above, and I don't havea problem anybody saying "jesus christ".

Blackclaw

Can I use the term "Snugglebunnies"?

Ironduke

Hmm, cuss words no longer have the star in place of the vowel... I'm going to have to rectify that.

bigross86

WTF is a snuglebunnie except what you call your girlfriend when you're cuddling?

Blackclaw

It's an old joke from the Bloom County comic strip. The term "snugglebunnies" came to represent some horrible, yet cute, perversion. The expression was quickly outlawed, so naturally the characters of the strip shouted "sugglebunnies!" at every opportunity.

Here's far more about snugglebunnies than you ever wanted to know:
-------------------------

An affectionate, embarrassing and mildly insulting but certainly not offensive slang term referring to two individuals who are often found by friends and aquaintences performing such curious activities as locking lips, sucking face, swapping saliva, experimenting with the friction method, tongue fighting, indefinitely performing mouth-to-mouth resusitation, experiencing mutually dangerous levels of hormonal imbalance which has a tendency of eventually causing pregancy unless one or both remain honor-bound to utilizing prophylactics and practicing safe sex, and otherwise participating in public displays of affection (PDA) which allows their friends and associates to make laborious fun of them. Along with declarations of "snugglebunnies," passersby may hear other exclamations such as:

"Johnny and Janie sittin' in a tree. K-I-S-S-I-N-G, first comes love then comes marriage then comes Johnny in a baby carriage. Suckin' his thumb, peein' in his pants. Doin' everthing and the hula dance!"

"I hope you're both not wearing braces,"

"take cover! she's gonna blow!",

"ooh I didn't know that move was possible with the clothes still on,"

"you do realize she's married, don't you?",
"isn't that illegal in this state?"

..and of course the inevitable, "oh geez! get a room will ya?"

The term 'snugglebunnies' is taken in response at differing degrees depending on how secure both individuals feel in their mutual snugglebunnyness towards one another. They may be easily embarrassed, and may break the strangle hold of sinful penguin lust they find themselves lost in, pretending nothing was going on ("she had something in her eye I was helping her get it out.") Or they may wave off their longtime friends, preferring to burn in hell and be lost in the natural high that hormonal imbalances tend to subject to the central nervous system of most mammals and some comic strip characters.

Snugglebunnyness is the state or condition of being one of two or more snugglebunnies at the time snugglebunnying is being partaken. Snugglebunnying is the actual act of snugglebunnyness performed by two or more snugglebunnies. Snugglebunnying usually involves keeping at least some of the clothes on, and is most noticably used in comic strips and not in real life. In real life snugglebunnies tend to take things a bit too far: please see Bill Clinton and Monica Lewinsky.

Back in 1983, Ed Meese considered this a naughty word, and once demanded Bloom County cease and desist using the word in the funny paper. Milo Bloom and Michael J. Binkley proceeded to scream this less than conservatively acceptable word at the top of their lungs. They soon found themselves before a Senate Subcommittee accused of having encouraged Paul Reubens at a particularly low point in his life. Binkley insisted all he shared with Pee Wee Herman was nasal spray. Milo demanded that the tapes be shredded. Only Ted Kennedy knows what this has to do with snugglebunnies but he was under the tables during the hearing with Suzanne Pleshette and could not be reached for comment because they were performing something from the Kama Sutra which involved shoulder dislocation...

I hope that clears everything up for you.

ps. Don't ask me about Cthulhu

Lunatock

...Don't be shy Blackclaw. What about Cthulu?

Blackclaw

Cthulu is an elder dark god that takes the form a giant squid. The mere sight of him is enough to drive any human being mad at which point he devours their souls and feasts upon their terror. He's been running for president for the last couple of years under the slogan "Why settle for the lesser of two evils?"

Here's some more info about his campaign:
-------------------------
Just Who Is Cthulhu, our soon to be executive officer?

The best answer to this question is found in Lovecraft's tale "The Call of Cthulhu". Cthulhu is a monstrous entity who lies "dead but dreaming" in the city of R'lyeh, a place of non-Euclidean madness presently (and mercifully) sunken below the depths of the Pacific Ocean. Cthulhu appears in various monstrous and demonic forms in early myths of the human race. Racial memory preserves Him as humanity's most basic nightmare. Cthulhu is the high priest of the Great Old Ones, unnatural alien beings who ruled the Earth before humanity formed, worshipped as gods by some misguided people. It is said that They will return, causing worldwide insanity and mindless violence before finally displacing humanity forever.

In "Call of Cthulhu" our beloved leader is described in the following way:

It seemed to be a sort of monster, or symbol representing a monster, of a form which only a diseased fancy could conceive. If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.
Also, it is described in another fashion in the following manner:

It represented a monster of vaguely anthropoid outline, but with an octopuslike head whose face was a mass of feelers, a scaly, rubbery-looking body, prodigious claws on hind and fore feet, and long, narrow wings behind. This thing, which seemed instinct with a fearsome and unnatural malignancy, was of a somewhat bloated corpulence...

------------------------
And here's an interview with a spokesman of the Cthulhu for President campaign:
--------------------------
I have received a few inquiries about the Great Cthulhu's platform, and so I have attempted to answer all such questions. If you have any questions please send them to the policy and platform committee (policies AT cthulhu DOT org), or send suggestions for stances if you have any.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q) What is the canidate's position on campaign finances?
A) Cthulhu accepts any donation which a citizen wishes to make. It doesn't oppose contributions from organizations, conglomerates, or conspiracies. In fact, it accepts any and all types of financial assistance or other donations. Preferably, large quantities of currency will be sent along with human brains,other donated organs, or your first born.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q)What would the Great Leader's position be on the U.S. Military? Would we see a shift away from cooperative multi-lateralism with the United Nations? How does the Great Leader feel about nuclear weapons?
A) Our future leader would ban a standing U.S. Military. Cthulhu does not feel that humans should have the privilege oo killing other humans, it reserves that right to itself.
The Great Cthulhu's solution to the United Nations will be to eat all current U.N. delegates. It will then build the U.U.N. (Unilateral United Nations)
Our Great Leader is greatly opposed to nuclear weapons in the possession of others, because the melting of human flesh, and mass destruction, are not mortal rights.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) What is Great Cthulhu's position on obvious cult fronts (such as Microsoft, Lego and most gaming companies); will he/she/it treat them as previous administrations have? (i.e. pretend they don't exist or support them/crack down on them) Also and more important will he treat all cultists equally, or give his particular thrill kill cultists preference leaving (for example) shub-niggurath disciples such as Clarence Thomas and Bob Packwood out in the cold?
A) Good question. Within the first 100 days of its reign, the Great Cthulhu pledges to destroy the following cults:

Disney.
Mass Media.
Yuppies.
Kentucky Fried Chicken.
People who use the phrase "information superhighway".
Cthulhu cultists will be given the following priveleges:

They will die last.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q) What solution does your candidate have for the problem of massive overspending by the government on the poor and elderly. Does he have a way to free up this money for other important projects, like going to mars or building big guns.
A) The Great Cthulhu's solution to massive overspending by the government on the weak, will be to go right to the heart of the problem, by destroying the elderly, poor, and clinically insane. It does not need a big gun, and Mars will be eaten immediately following Earth's demise.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q)My roommate, being a concientious citizen of the US, would like to know who wil l The Illustrious One's running mate be. And how will he solve the national deb t. I've told him, debt will no longer be a concern for his merely mortal mind t o ponder. Now, my concern, as a citizen of a foriegn country, how will Cthulhu rule my country as well. Please see to it that It is given more money for bombs and other implements of destruction. Will Cthulhu use psychic powers to drive u s all mad, or must a study be made of this?
As of yet, the almighty Cthulhu has not chosen a running mate. If you feel you know a good candidate, or perhaps you've eaten one lately, please submit your candidate suggestions to: runningmate AT cthulhu DOT org

As stated above, Cthulhu will treat all countries in the same manner as it treats the United States. No study will be needed, since to merely gaze upon it is insanity itself.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) What is the candidates stand on welfare? I think all of the bums should be eaten by mister cthulhu.
A) You are wise. You will be eaten second to last.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q)How will Cthulhu deal with a strongly bipartisan Congress? How does Cthulhu plan to deal with the budget deficit? Has Cthulhu yet chosen a running mate? If so, who is it, and from whence did it come? Given that the candidate is now dead and dreaming in the Pacific, what measures will be taken to speed its awakening should it be elected president?
A) Cthulhu will have no problem dealing with Congress, as they will be the first to be eaten. The budget deficit will shrink drastically once Cthulhu cuts unnecessary spendings like Defense, Welfare and Social Security. Mass support of Cthulhu will raise the its awareness of the need to take control of our suffering country, and should lead to its return. The Great Cthulhu will awaken in time to take its presidential oath.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q)If Great Cthulhu becomes president, we obviously would all go mad. Do we get to choose which particular pathological condition we are blessed with, or does the big C just roll a d100 and we get what we're given? Also: He's been dead but dreaming for quite a bit of time now. What's to say He's not going to be a bit sleepy when he wakes up? I mean, how's a Priest of the Old Ones supposed to destroy a world effectively if He's half-asleep for goodness sake?!
A) The Great Cthulhu will not give humans that kind of decision over their own fate. They are far too weak to be able to handle that kind of pressure. Ever notice how your potential for destruction increases when your in that state? This will only enhance Cthulhu's domestic policy.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
Q) How does the Great Old One stand on the testing of nuclear weapons?
A) As long as Cthulhu does all the testing, it's a-okay.

----------------------------------------------------------------------

Q)Will he, as president, go jogging? (what a nasty thought!)
A) The Great Cthulhu is in perfect health, and due to its high metabolism and steady diet of human flesh, has no pathetic human need for exercise. In fact, those humans caught jogging with be destroyed immediately.

----------------------------------------------------------------------Q) Pornography
A) Well since that isn't actually a question, Cthulhu is taking the stance that it will not read anything, just look at the pictures.

I take it there will be no further questions? :p

Lunatock

Well. There'd be a sharp decrease in Anti-American Demonstations. Especially burning President Chtulu in ethigy.

No tax hike. And most of us would live to see the end of the line for two of America's Most Wanted fugitives.

Blackclaw

Cthulu would simply devour the protestors. I bet CNN would cover it live.. for a little while at least.

UnitedDiversity

so you mean I can use words like dummy dumbie in this forum??? YEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEY :D :p

I like this Chtulu dude. He's got the right sort of ideas. Especially about eating Congress first...

Ray

What about 'tuchku'?
