Friendly reminder: Please have a look at the introductory information for a refresher every now and then. It’s easy to forget to quote text from posts to which you are replying, or to forget what links are available in the thread table. A review now and then can help you prepare to direct others to our collection of resources.
Also, a FreeQ made a great suggestion about adding Reagan’s speech to the thread table. I did so and somehow corrupted a few lines of the table - I’ll try to make repairs for the next thread. Thank you for the great suggestion(s).
ThankQ.
Hi Mother of Dragons (and Dragonlets!)
I'm taking the liberty of bringing this over from the end of the last thread. ROCKLOBSTER and I had been having a conversation about donkeys, which I had referenced in a rant (which has been removed from the thread because I ignorantly included a copyrighted image in it.)
ROCKLOBSTER quoted me:
>>But they LOOK like donkeys!<<
ROCKLOBSTER:
[ takes texokie to school - which certainly is much needed! ]
ass n.
1. Any of several hoofed mammals of the genus Equus, resembling and closely related to the horses but having a smaller build and longer ears, and including the domesticated donkey.
%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%%
ROCKLOBSTER continues:
Ass isn’t really a bad word, in American slang, the male is known as a “Jack” and the female as a “Jenny”. But being a Texokie, you probably already knew that.

texokie replies:
ROFL!.... um yes, actually I did!
I've been pulling your leg. But I'm glad for your answers and distinctions. I guess in the middle of the rant I launched into about Klobuchar in a RAGING BLIZZARD talking about climate change, I was obsessed with donkeys and neglected to make the distinction you have so ably described and defined.
LOL! thanks again! I do humbly stand corrected!
JACKASSES IN THE SNOW
This JACKASS is out in the snow and is not braying or complaining about the POTUS and all the Deplorables who are preventing the wholesale destruction of this Republic and the US Constitution. This JACKASS is simply out in the snow watching it fall, and wondering "when is lunch?"
Um no snow.... but I HAD to put this here.... Please, PRETEND there is snow, OK? Surely we can do that if the Dims can pretend there is money to pay for their Green Pond Scum Program.
Also please bear in mind that this particular JACKASS is representing the ENTIRE Dim Party which is immersed in unbelievably, blind, gleeful, self-destructing behavior. This JACKASS is not intended to portray a specific member of that party. This JACKASS is braying, oblivious to the possibility of being turned into a grease spot by a large locomotive. This JACKASS is wondering (and demanding) "where is the FREE LUNCH?"
OK... here IS a specific JACKASS member of the Dim Party out in a RAGING BLIZZARD braying about CLIMATE CHANGE! This JACKASS (or to be precise, JENNYASS) is definitely OUT TO LUNCH:
