Well I never built a snow penis, but I did take red food coloring to make a big Double T (for Texas Tech) in my yard once......... I didn't stop to think what it would look like after a couple of hours in the Texas sun.........

It appeared we had some type of massacre in our front yard...... "bloody" snow was running down the yard........ I never tried that again.........

ROFL!

These things are all over the place:

Sure thing, little lady...

! . ! . !

Whew!

[HairOfTheDog]

Yes, that would be a 'vivid' scene! LOL!

[HairOfTheDog]

She clearly does not know that she is a victim.

Given where this happened, the women on campus must acknowledge that odds are that the snow phallus represented a gay-man's anatomy and the gender-warriors should be vigorously defending its display as an issue of sexual freedom and gay rights.

 

Ten Thousand Men of Harvard
Nine Thousand are Queer
Eight Hunder are a-sexual
The Rest Won't Last a Year.

Precisely...

What make you think I feel threatened?

Letting a prank by a few drunken frat boys prompt grumblings about "decadent Greece and Rome" sounds like someone who feels threatened. Believe me, college kids have been pulling things like this for CENTURIES; it's really not the end of civilization. The Classical civilizations' fall had a lot more to do with overextended empires and military supply lines than it did with erect weenies on the furniture.

And BTW, I'm not a "conservative." If you take me for one, it's probably because most of the people who tend to indulge in the sort of risible public stupidity I enjoy mocking, are left-wingers. Forty years ago, when the uptight, humorless control-freaks that I love to needle were mostly RIGHT-wingers, I probably would have been (erroneously) labeled a "liberal" for pointing out their foibles.

If you take this attitude, as I do, California is actually a pretty nice place to live. I reside in the Bay Area, so you can imagine how much free entertainment I get on a daily basis here.

BTW, cool handle. I wear a badge on my leather jacket that's a replica of the MILITI CHRISTI two-on-a-horse seal.

"'As a feminist, pornography is degrading to women and creates a violent atmosphere,' she said."/

Maybe they should erect a flacid snow penis next time, then it would be art, not porn.

I thought this might get a rise from you. lol

Mental note: When attacking Harvard, be sure to spell hundred correctly.

You don't remember the Boulder (Colorado) Public Library display a little over a year ago?

BOULDER --
If it's any consolation, from a distance they look like socks hanging on a clothesline.

That's the assessment from Karen Ripley, director of cultural programs for the Boulder Public Library.

She is stunned at the outcry over a piece of art that features 21 ceramic . . . ummm . . . men's appendages, which are displayed on a clothesline in the library. It's entitled "Hung out to dry."

"Men find this disturbing, but women find it amusing," Ripley said.

"I think it's rather powerful myself," said Julia Wrapp, a city planner who was attending another function at the library Wednesday night.

The artwork is part of an exhibition sponsored by Safehouse, which assists women and children who are victims of domestic violence. The exhibit, "Art Over Domestic Violence," has been on display at the library gallery since Oct. 19.

A giant snow phallis is demeaning to women? Only the ones who suffer from Penis Envy.

Perhaps you might want to check out masturbateforpeace.com (org?). They have some great bumper stickers...

A rise FROM me? How about a rise FOR me.....lol

Actually, I first heard about the snow-dong incident on Andrew Sullivan's Weblog. Sullivan is a gay conservative who probably saw in the story a chance to both celebrate the male anatomy, and lampoon Harvard PC loons.

I have the email for Masterbating for Piece Peace...... it's hilarious..but thanks for the info......
