Do tampons need to advertise?

Bloody well they do

In case you were wondering what DM stands for.

What does DM mean? DM stands for “direct message.” Big Commerce defines the term as, “a private form of communication between social media users that is only visible to the sender and recipient(s).

A cotton picker!

Leaves the string in your Bloody Mary.

I just had an idea. A new brand of tampon for transitioned females and they/them people...

“It’s gold Jerry!...It’s gold!”

At least once a month, I would reckon.

(Kurt) “Vonnegut is also the guy who once compared semicolons to transvestite hermaphrodites in what has to be the best quote related to punctuation in the history of quotes related to punctuation. “Here is a lesson in creative writing,” Vonnegut said. “First rule: Do not use semicolons. They are transvestite hermaphrodites representing absolutely nothing. All they do is show you’ve been to college.” https://litreactor.com/columns/foonotes-kurt-vonnegut-and-the-semicolon

You must really get off on this kind of stuff.

I see that the mostly men on this thread are using it as a way to express adolescent locker room humor. I’m not liking this thread because I find the topic frankly gross, and am surprised to see it on here.

In the olden days, such topics of conversation would not be out in the public forum. But it appears nowadays, in today’s anything goes social media culture, along with the coarsening of it, such threads as these now pop up.

Wish I could go back in time when certain subjects best kept private, weren’t put out into the public sphere. This cheapens the discourse and doesn’t make the FR forum look good.

And I know my comment here will elicit responses such as lighten up, good clean fun (it’s not clean) etc., but ask if most of your parents would want to read this thread, or their parents before them. I think I know the answer. The word vulgar comes to mind.
