When Lesbians fight back

[Cylinder]

That's Lesbians. Capital.

We're the true Lesbians, say islanders (http://www.news.com.au/story/0,23599,23621323-23109,00.html)



RESIDENTS of the Greek island of Lesbos have launched a legal case against a gay group, insisting they are the real Lesbians.
Two inhabitants of the island of Lesbos along with a member of a nationalist pagan association today launched a legal case to ban the Greek Gay and Lesbian Union (OLKE) from bearing the name "lesbian".

Lesbos was the home of the poet Sappho, who expressed her love of other women in lyric verses written in the early sixth century BC.

Lesbos residents now suffer "psychological and moral rape" from the "seizure" of their island's name by gays, said the activist Dimitris Lambrou, in a text titled The Misfortune of Being Lesbian, published on his website.

Lesbosi? Nah...
Lesbosites? Too hard to say...

[Tsukasa Buddha]

"psychological and moral rape"?

:dl:

I so have to use that line.

[hcmom]

Woo hoo!!! Naked ladies, fighting with each other!!

[Puppycow]

Lesbians should learn to be more tolerant! (snicker, snicker)

[Arg9]

Lesbosi? Nah...
Lesbosites? Too hard to say...

The inhabitants could adopt: Native Lesbians.

[Mycroft]

"psychological and moral rape"?


I guess that's the same as a mind****?

Please do not attempt to circumvent the autocensor.

[ImaginalDisc]

This just in: The Lesbian Vs. Lesbian fight received support from natives of nearby Crete, angry about cretins, Samaritans who insist that they're not all nice, and Russians, who point out that they're not always in a hurry.

Don't forget the Brazilians, who are not all hairless.

[Darat]

Or nuts.

[meg]

What about the Virginians?

[Polaris]

"psychological and moral rape"?

I suffered that by watching Jesus Camp.

[Safe-Keeper]

Lesbian fight! :Grabs popcorn:

:D

Seriously, though, as long as the word 'lesbian' is not trademarked, how on Earth are they going to go through with this? Can I sue whoever uses the word 'Norwegian' in their company/group name?

Idiots.

[TragicMonkey]

What about the Virginians?

I promise you, we Virginians are every bit as virginal as the lady for whom our state was named.

Do you also have a sideline in a tit for Letter of Marquee while totally remaining a virgin - I swear - going on?

Okay, this sentence baffles me. Is it Cockney? Are there words missing? Is it in code?

Speaking of tits, though, check out the Virginia flag. Yep. That's a female murderess standing atop her victim, one breast hanging out. On the flag. It's not a wardrobe malfunction at all; rather, one gets the impression she whipped it out at the guy, shouted her Latin tag, then speared him. People may make fun of Virginia, but really, there is a little bit of awesome in that.

[Beerina]

What about the Virginians?

Or the Cretans.

Or the Barbarians.

Or the Gypsies. ("He gypped me!") A double-slap since "Gypsie" derives from "Egypt", which was the mistaken belief of their origin.

Or the 'tards.

Or, hell, the dumb dumbs for that matter.*










* Isaac Asimov once received a letter from a writer who complaned about his use of "that's retarded" by claiming that that was "dumb" of him to say. He quickly pointed out "dumb" mocks as stupid the "dumb", i.e. those who cannot speak.

1. Letter of Marquee -- A letter granted by a government to a private ship or pirate to attack and/or capture another ship in times of war or to reclaim damage costs. (In any case, not a JREF member, unless a ref. Marquis de Cabras.)

2. Tit -- Breast, or short for title.

3. Sideline -- Probably a "business or activity pursued in addition to one's regular occupation".


Let's analyze the chain a little more.

I promise you, we Virginians are every bit as virginal as the lady for whom our state was named.

First return on Google (http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=who+is+Virginia+named+for%3F): "And The Colony of Virginia was named in the 16th century for Queen Elizabeth I, the "Virgin Queen" who never married."


So QEI was a head of state who would be authorized to grant letters of marquee, and, as a seagoing nation, probably did from time to time. The statement by TM was possibly sarcastic, doubing the actual virginal state of QEI.

Furthermore, the Virginia state flag is the goddess Virtue standing atop some defeated thug with the Latin "Sic semper tyrannus", or "thus always to tyrants". And one of her breasts is hanging out. Well, not really hanging so much since it's rather flat. Also her nipple is just a dot, which is sad, since I thought all goddesses had large-diameter areolae.


We may have enough information to debabbelize this. Let's try!

Do you, TragicMonkey, resident of Virginia, have a secondary job in your title as if you were authorized to go capture ships, all while remaining a virgin, which would be comically unusual since pirate types are most decidely not stereotypically virgins?

The "tit" may also be a comical reference to the exposed breast on the flag, with the letter of marquee being built into it, written on it, or represented by it, or some such.

1. Letter of Marquee -- nope
2. Tit -- Breast, or short for title.
Yes, also a small bird.
3. Sideline -- Probably a "business or activity pursued in addition to one's regular occupation".
Yes.

Nailed that dive.

Letter of Marque. (http://www.geocities.com/Tokyo/Garden/5213/marque.htm)

There are only three
Of the letter "e"
In "Letter of Marque"
Unless spelling's a lark

I'd not have piped up had that error not been repeated. I've no idea what ID was raving about.

We will now digress into the differences between privateers and pirates, if only Miss Virginia will show us her small birds.

DR

[TragicMonkey]

The difference between pirates and privateers has to do with the direction of attack. Privateers, as the name suggests, attack the front. Pirates, however, raid from the rear. As for corsairs and buccaneers, the former require specialty costumes and the latter are just regular guys until they have three or so beers.

[Beerina]

NO. Letters of Marque.

I was mislead by Wikipedia re-directing marquee to marque, so I thought it was an acceptable alternative spelling.

[MaryCBW]

Anyone here want to go toe to toe with Jackie from Workout on the Bravo channel?
I like living too much to even think of trying something like that.

Now, back to the topic of the thread, a lawsuit is just silly and a waste of time and money.

You totally lost me until I looked up the show and channel. I don't get that

my body more than I already do.:(

Wow, I've never had a post of mine so thoroughly examined before.

To de-mystify what I meant.

Ok, Elizabeth I the "virgin" none the less had many paramours. Her habit of supporting privateers, directly and indirectly, as through Walter Raleigh, lead to persistent rumors that if you made enough gold sacking Spanish ships, you might get a little action.

[Jeff Corey]

This just in: The Lesbian Vs. Lesbian fight received support from natives of nearby Crete, angry about cretins...
Cretin was apparently derived from the French "chretien" (christian or human being) and referred to the iodine-deprived people from some regions of the French Alps with hypothyroidism. So those Cretans are just wrong.
Dummies.

lesbians gone wild...woohoo

I thought it was Liberty leading the people?

Or is it the same thing anyway?

Just wait until you reach the age of 50 and are eligible for the infamous buttcam experience. :p

Lecherous Lizzy knew that it was great to be queen, of course. :cool:

Note: Led to, not lead to. (I make that mistake frequently.)

Note: Lizzy's privateers were more correctly led by Sir Francis Drake, and of course Hawkins, not so much by Sir Walter Raleigh.

I got the original joke, but it was so much fun to pounce on the typo I could not resist.

Thanks. The lag's so bad, I can't see what I'm typing. I hope it's just on my end rather than the forum server.

In command, yes. However, Raleigh helped support privateers, and Raleigh was himself supported by the queen. In an Era where England's naval primacy hadn't yet ecplised Spain's, using Sir Walter "Smoke 'em while you got 'em" Raleigh as a cat's paw was wise.

Indeed, no quibble with the history. For purposes of the intended jest, the direct reference to Drake gets the point across more cleanly, as his exploits are more closely associated with privateering. Maybe he had a better press agent, or as you suggest, Raleigh was happy to let him gain the notoriety. A lot of good it did him, the headsman still had the last laugh.
