Well, I was away all weekend - not that anybody here noticed. Actually, I forgot to huff, so I'll take part of the blame: let's say, oh, 39.4%.
Anyway, I've forgiven everyone, so let's not have any unseemly outpouring of affection or begs for forgiveness.
I do have a problem, though. With the collapse of the Great Female Breast Research Project and the completion of the TVCH Research Survey (I poured over all the responses, punched in some figures, did lunch with some honchos, had my people talk to somebody else's people and delegated some underpaid temp to write my final report, which I was going to share with all of you, but I lost it in a drunken binge over the weekend) I now am looking for new "cutting edge" research ideas, and by cutting edge, of course, I mean vaguely offensive.
So, once again, I am asking for the help of the good people at TVCH, and even the ones who get on my nerves, to come up with research ideas that I can use in what I'm sure will be a ground-breaking exercise. Now, the only rule is that the idea has to be vaguely offensive to somebody, which shouldn't be too hard. Nothing where the moderators are going to swoop down and "say he's gone too far this time", although I'll consider it if I believe it to be in the best interests of science.
So let's get those neurons fired up and throw out some ideas. You could be doing humanity a great service.

"What to do when you have too much time on your hands and need a real life."

So, there is no mystry as to why I cannot "walk down the street free of prying suggesting eyes." BTW, a lot of woman say size doesn't matter - but does it?

OH, I wish that I wouldn't have said... " BTW, a lot of woman say..." I was reacting when I said that - I don't believe or feel that way at all. I mean who cares? There's only one point that I was trying to make and that is I am offended that I can't take one subway ride without someone trying to say "Hi" or staring at me to say hi. And yes, I feel that this is all about a physical appearance. I am offended because to look at me on first glance and only see my anatomy is a slap in the face to my intellect and my being as a human and the dignity of all women.

How bout a thread on why no one's ever heard a man ask for advice on how to combine marriage and a career, but women have entire tv shows and monthly magazines dedicated to the same?

PS I'm already offended just thinking about it.

Okay, so far we've got the following topics to cosider:
1. Having too much time/needing a real life. (probably not offensive enough for my tastes).
2. Does size matter? (I assume you mean in hockey or football)
3. Men On Combining Career and Marriage (as a man, I thought about asking, but, if you're male I think you also have to be gay - I read it somewhere).

I would definitely think to match the scope of the boobie thread you have to go with the Size issue.

But I am warning you, there will definitely be some huffing involved. The men on this board are VERY sensitive.

Okay, that's two votes for the Size issue. Polls will stay open until midnight tomorrow or until I feel the need to start a new thread, whichever comes first.

Ok. This is part of a post by EMT in a Survivor thread. I think this topic needs to be researched.

<<We had a guy in the E.R. years ago, wearing spandex gold lamee pants and when we had to cut his pants off, we found a salami duct-taped to his thigh! It's good he was unconscious at the time, because we all laughed out loud! >>

Just how many men actually stuff their pants? And what is the best thing to stuff them with? And should you inform your guests when you serve the salami, that it was once stuffed down your pants? What is the proper etiquette?

Grooch, I used to be a costume designer, and you would be surprised at the guys who thought they could impress me when it came time for an inseam measurement.

I would say the only way that salami has a future is if it is COOKED!

I was just reading the Joe Millionaire thread and I think foot fetishes could be a good research project, esp since it might include the discussion of shoes.

I like the Does size matter idea. My motto has always been that although size doesn’t matter there is a minimum requirement!

How about what hairdo goes best with a foot fetish? That way we could work in both shoes and hairstyles, perhaps expand the readership. Although I am thinking a good rousing discussion on salamis could be good too.

Hey, I just had a thought...send that salami to Gen on Trading Spaces...she could make some more meat art.

This is going too fast for me. I am still trying to come up with whether you have to inform your guests where the food has been. Google is failing me but I will not give up.

I vote for the Size issue, too. =)

Ahem - not to be a spoil sport (far be it from me), but we do have some underage Board members. Just sayin'.

I think what's shown on tv is far worse!

I think that if women's breasts can be discussed so can the size of a man's appendage. But I'm still voting for too much time on your hands.

I think people just arent "getting enough" if all they can research are boobs and dicks

Just urging responsibility in posting, nothing more.

Maris, I think your post was uncalled for.

This is a free forum, just don't read a thread if it bothers you.

Thank you Goddess, there are very responsible people here. They're just hinting and not saying. If you'll notice the majority of threads are relatively mild.

When does Big Brother start up again? I miss it.

Maybe it was uncalled for but face it folks that is what you are talking about. You can pretty it up all you want in cute innuendo but that is what is being discussed. How many more threads do you need for this stuff.

Maris, are you the unofficial thread regulator? I think the moderators are watching whether we get out of hand..let's let them do their job.
