Conception Parties.
voluntary castrations? is there a lot of demand for that in NC?
Sweet jesus. What next?
I would say, "... the fuck?", except that it's, er, the lack of "fuck".
Sounds painful.
That's the nuts.
I hope this is a trend in behaviour that's on the rise (pun kinda intended) among male republicans!
It seems we have conclusively determined what's wrong with Kansas.
Ah, willing castration.
The perfect way to end the day. Have some tea, chop some balls.

"........Castration without malice....."
Ah, willing castration.
Is this the retreat that half the Democrats in Congress and the major media go to?
PBS did a show on some of the anti-choice nuts. One guy circumsized himself in prison. The lord called on him to perform the operation. He used a razor blade.
Now those are some heartland values!!!
“This right here beats everything I have ever seen,” the sheriff said.
heh.
Why O why would anyone voluntarily castrate themselves?
I'm sure theres a Lorena Bobbit joke in here somewhere.

Hey. That's the closest thing I've seen to proof of God in a long time. "Thou, in particular, shalt not reproduce. Do something about it. Oh, and, make it hurt, as though art an asshat."
They you go bkny! If there are no hetero-testicles, no need for abortions.
Why O why would anyone voluntarily castrate themselves?
smalfish
Dr. Paul Appelbaum, a professor of psychiatry at Columbia University and a past president of the American Psychiatric Association, said voluntary castration appears to be a very rare phenomenon.
“The people who I have seen who have undergone voluntary castration have been psychotic and often in the grip of a delusion that their sexual organs were causing them to behave in evil ways,” Appelbaum said. “And they felt that to rid themselves of that evil, it was necessary to rid themselves of their sexual organs.”
Weird story.
But how cool is it that a little county newspaper has a web format in which they post as PDFs the SOURCE DOCUMENTS?
They give you access to the public documents: press releases, arrest records, etc.
I wish the NYT, WaPo, and the Inky would do that!
charged with "castration without malice"??
Was there already a law on the books making that illegal????
I mean, *with* malice one can see.
OT...but given the continuing idiocy of the IMUS program (who watches that crap?)relative to their "funny" comments on Jill Carroll...did anyone catch Hugh Hewitt (UGH) on CNN (I think) saying how he, Limbaugh, Hannity et al "do it right" and compassionately while those on the left are mean, hateful, etc? This crew has no shame...will say anything...and are confident that their braindead followers will just lap it up...and you wonder why we're in this mess???????
"hetero-testicles"! Now that is a great neologism.
From the Washington Post: http://tinyurl.com/lhjed
"The sheriff's office had investigated reports of sadomasochistic acts at the house in 2004, but concluded there was nothing illegal going on because the participants appeared to be willing adults.
Renewed scrutiny, prompted by a citizen who made "strange statements" to Bonfoey, revealed that illegal surgeries were taking place, the prosecutor said.
Detectives who searched the home Wednesday found medical supplies that included scalpels, sutures, bandages, anesthetic and artificial replacement testicles, sheriff's officials said.
Also seized were videotaping equipment, and video recordings of the surgeries, sheriff's officials said. Photos and videos made at the "dungeon" were apparently featured on a locally produced sadomasochistic Web site, officials said."
"artificial replacement testicles"?
They you go bkny! If there are no hetero-testicles, no need for abortions.
n8nyc, t12kster@gmail.com | 04.01.06 - 10:30 am
Hey, now. Those of us keeping out hetero-testicles under control don't need anybody loppin' 'em off, thank you very much.
no one is listening to Imus, let alone watching him.
Fortunately they are far enough from New York and San Fransisco that their perversions are unlikely to spread to those bastions of innocence. Whew!
“The people who I have seen who have undergone voluntary castration have been psychotic and often in the grip of a delusion that their sexual organs were causing them to behave in evil ways
I think they convicted the wrong organ there.
So what prompted the "Know Your Trolls" thread last night? Was Ted the Psycho lurking about?

Yes yes. Being tempted by women that constantly shun you as a deficient man might be a sign that your sex drive is misplaced and evil and reason enough to have a voluntary castration performed?
"artificial replacement testicles"?

Can you hear me in the back?
Ouch.
Now that's a eunuch approach to S&M.
And may I say, Waynesville is a great little town, next county seat west of Asheville(and a hell of a lot cheaper), surrounded by mountains and forests, with lots of artists/craftsmen..
People move to the mountains thinking they are isolated and can get away with anything. Generally, the reverse is true, the neighbors (as in this story) will be in yer business in no time.

They probably used Neuticals, which are prosthetic testicles for dogs.
I also liked how the homeowner thinks he is going to sue the men. I guess for being creepy in his house.

Woman suffocated by plate
Associated Press
SPENCER, Wis. — A woman apparently suffocated when a decorative plate shaped like an Easter bunny was shoved down her throat, authorities said. Her husband has been charged with murder.
Patrick Zurkowski, 38, was charged Monday with homicide in the death of June Zurkowski, 40.
An autopsy found pieces of the plate broke off and lodged in the woman's throat, prosecutor Ken Heimerman said.
A criminal complaint said Patrick Zurkowski initially told police he was hit by his wife and acted in self-defense. He was being held on $1 million bail.
Now that's a eunuch approach to S&M.

ql, it depends on what you're looking for in a city. Personally, I had enough of cities growing up and love living in a tiny town south of Asheville. Lots of people are retiring in this area, from both the north and the south (Florida).
I think any efforts on their part to not reproduce should be encouraged.

Asheville is a lovely cosmopolitan city. Fairly expensive by southern standards. I would like to live there myself. About a two hour drive from Knoxville and about six hours or so from Charleston.
How did these people even go about bringing up the subject? Were they in a bar somewhere, and one guy says to the other, "Hey pal, you wouldn't mind hacking away at my beanbag with a knife, wouldya?"

No tears for the older children, though--they're probably guilty, eh George?
This story reminded me of something:
___________
ORIGEN (ORIGENES ADAMANTIUS) C. 185–C. 254
Alexandrian theologian
Born of a Christian family (most likely in Alexandria), the oldest of seven children, Origen was initially trained in both secular and religious literature by his father Leonides (who was exceedingly proud of his son’s learning). Very early Origen developed a passion for martyrdom, but he was restrained by his mother when he attempted to join his father in martyrdom. The burden of caring for the family fell upon Origen at the age of seventeen, so he began to teach. His classes proved so popular that he had to divide them, leaving beginners to an assistant, reserving the more advanced for himself.
Origen lived in extreme austerity. Eusebius related that in his rashness he castrated himself, but that account may not be accurate. He was bold in his admiration for martyrs, and many of his students suffered in the persecutions. Despite his lack of care for his own life, he was spared because many pagan philosophers and Christian heretics came to him for instruction. (The Neoplatonist Porphyry was an early acquaintance.) Origen was apparently free to travel, for he visited Rome, Palestine, and Arabia briefly, where he gained approval from many foreign bishops.
His range of learning was vast. In addition to his father’s instruction, Origen also studied under Ammonius Saccas and Clement of Alexandria. For the sake of biblical exegesis, he learned Hebrew. His knowledge of the philosophies of the day, especially Platonism, was profound. While still living in Alexandria, he began to write and compile books. One of the earliest and most significant was De principiis, one of the first efforts toward a systematic theology. Another work was his Hexapla, an enormous edition of the Bible arranged in six columns. It contained the Hebrew text, a Greek transliteration of the Hebrew, the Septuagint, and the Greek versions by Symmachus, Aquila, and Theodotion. The Hexapla was a great aid in the study of the Scriptures.
So famous did he become that Mamaea, mother of Emperor Alexander Severus, summoned him to Antioch to instruct her. On his way to Greece, he was ordained as a priest by the bishop of Caesarea. That action was uncanonical and was protested by his own bishop of Alexandria. As a result, he never returned to Egypt but settled down in Caesarea, where he taught for the remainder of his life. "
But I doubt the believers here were as astute as Origen. I may of course be wrong.
The last shot was him pushing two sheep up a ramp.
"Honest officer, I was just helping them over the fence when my pants fell down."

I dunno about that. Why don't you try strapping a bunch of rubber bands around the top your nutsack, so tight that it cuts off the circulation. My guess is you'd be begging for a quick death in less than 15 minutes. I don't know if it would beat the slice, yank, and hot tar treatment, but it's still pretty cruel in my book.....

NTodd, Slow Hand I grew up in Hayesville, NC, the next town west of Franklin, and reside some 40 miles away in Trendy Blue Ridge Ga. We have 4 distinct seasons, winter is not too onerous (and 6 measurable snowfalls here, with many more in western NC)WE had some snow flurries last week and it will hit 70 for several days in a row this week.
And Asheville is craft heaven. I served on the Board of Trustees for the Southern Highland Craft Guild (operates the Folk Art Center on the Blue Ridge Parkway) and one figure is that 20-30% of craftwork in the US is sold within 100 miles miles of Asheville. Of course, it's sort of over staffed with artists and talented people: Rolling Stone called it "America's Freak Capital" in the late '90's..

a former colleague of mine got an email threat once, though it wasn't quite as threatening.
of course it was sent from a campus dorm connection, easy to trace...
don't remember what happened to the student.
Duh me. Of course this is a great area for quilting. Georgia Bonesteel lives not far from me.
So for goodness sake, ql, check out the fabric shops in the area when you're here. They're amazing in the variety of fabrics they carry, and sometimes at very good prices.
yeah, i never understood why people flee the city in the summer until I spent a few here in philly. There's something about heat+city that doesn't work well.
Hey Ann, I know where you live, I will kill all your family and burn you

jesus popsicles, what the hell is wrong with people?

Well, to start with, some reprobates use terms such as "jesus popsicles."
It seems we have a suspect already.
I'm guessing they may find Cheetos on the premises.
hey thats my hometown!
"Jesus popsicles" -- I sense a business opportunity....
A faulty member? I'd be pissed, too...
Sounds like some castration might be in order!
actually the writer of that threat sounds a lot like the troll who used to call me "gene"
One ball, one vote!

Ah, I remember Philly summers (lived there for 5 years). Very warm and humid between the Schuykill (sp?) and Deleware. And stinky ginkos in the spring Beautiful city to run in though.

You'd think that someone would've gotten suspicious when the Haywood Regional Medical Center assigned an office to a Neuticles® sales rep.
The message came from one of a bank of computers in a library where you have to check in. A student registered in this professor's class was one of the student's checked in on these computers at the time it was written. This particular student has a history in another department of writing really nasty messages to faculty.
This kid is not a US Citizen. I am really pissed off. I do not think he should stay here.

He is not too happy with me either.
One ought not express unhappiness to Ba'al. I hope the cops sacrifice him so you might smell the pleasing aroma. Or at least lock the nutcase up--scary situ.

Ah a near perfect morning: nice weather, my bills are paid, having tea, making headway with a tricky (for me) Bayesian model, actually have time to work out later, and I now have a source for artificial testicles! I love it here.

I now learn that our suspect has not one but THREE academic dishonesty complaints in another college in our university and is inexplicably still a student here.
Threats to college professors really really piss me off, along the same lines as threats to journalists, whistleblowers, etc.
n8nyc--what flavor of model did you create? How are you planning to apply it?
Bayesian model talk gets me all hot.
Wishing you the best of luck, Ba'al.
It occurs to me that unless the kid's daddy is a diplomat, there is abundant material to justify booting his ass out of here. The FBI would love to assist, I'm sure. As would a number of other authorities.
Ba'al--apparently, we now live in a climate where it's acceptable to threaten profs, since, of course, we're part of the 'nerd patrol.'
n8nyc,
your windows open? the first breezes of spring!
I do like NYC in the early spring.
You know spring has sprung in NYC when you can not just feel but also hear the thumping of the megabass sound systems in the cars.
The FBI will be receiving a tip from me, I think. I have to go, cops are back.
And the sad part is that the North is the the more civilized Carolina.
Ba'al,
David Horowitz's academic pogrom attempts are about as disbusting as they come.
Reason #2 why teaching in the inner city is not that bad:'
'
Well I hate to say it but yes and no. I have a friend who started her middle school teaching career in the inner city and it ended when her car was set on fire. But I don't really think that was so much because of location as just general principle. It could have happened anywhere.
The kid (well, he was no kid) is in prison now because he went on a shooting spree one weekend and killed a bunch of people.
Watertiger--we have no such seasonal markers in LA; audible megabass thumping is a year round phenomenon.
I'm working on a MAP estimator for simultaneously estimating both sytem and input functions for an optical system given the output and constraints. Using Poisson priors. Probably won't try to get to closed form estimators (if they exist - they do for the MAP estimator of just the input function though). But, will use a stochastic approximation method like SPSA. That's my plan anyway.
good luck, Ba'al.
about as disbusting
disbusting=disgusting of course.

Speaking of stinky Philly trees, the office building across from mine has a row of tall trees along one side of its parking lot.
In spring or early summer, these trees give off a pungent smell for a week or two, a rancid musky bouquet like stale urine or semen.
I used to think the smell was coming off the Delaware River, which is just a few blocks away, but eventually I realized it was the trees.
Does anyone know what kind of trees these might be? Late in the summer, after the stink has long since faded, they shed fine leaves or flowers consisting of mushy whitish-green stalks and a black seed.

dave--most obnoxious one I ever got was from the father of a kid who was angry at me for giving his son a B (which was what he deserved; he was actually borderline B/C, but I grade up, because I'm a marshmallow). He was furious that I'd 'destroyed' his son's chances of getting to medical school and called all of my superiors to complain. He didn't threaten me directly, but apparently he did threaten the vice chancellor. Big mistake.
I taught at juvie for 5 years when I first started teaching, and I was never threatened by the inmate kids, but constantly by the guards. Go figure.
ql--too late. n8nyc is now the hottest guy here.
Little Brother - I don't know what those trees would be. Eucalyptus trees have a strong pungent smell, but I don't recall their shedding mushy white stemmed black seed pods.
And I don't know if they grow there - they grow in California - that I know. There are eucalyptus groves in the hills above Berkeley. They shed bark in addition to leaves.
I've heard that female Ginko's odor (from the fruit) has been discribed as "dog vomit on a hot sidewalk".
n8nyc--I'm married to an engineer. Now I'm seriously weak in the knees.
Just a driveby on my way out the door. I remember Asheville now. It may be all artsy-craftsy in town, but I got a creepy vibe from the countryside in western NC. It is Eric Rudolph territory, very retrograde.
WTF is up with Condi?
Rice: Don't take Iraq errors 'literally'.
U.S. secretary of state visits England amid anti-war protests.
BLACKBURN, England (CNN) -- One day after Condoleezza Rice said the United States made possibly "thousands" of tactical mistakes in the war against Iraq, the secretary of state says she was speaking "figuratively, not literally."
What the hell was it, a "did I say that out loud" moment? She supposed to be a diplomat. Carefully crafted speech is part of the job.
Add "rotting" to "dog vomit on a hot sidewalk" or the smell of the Ginko fruit and yer gettin' close.
Tena--I've not seen eucalyptus trees shed their pods in that manner. I have 2 of them in my yard, and haven't witnessed said phenomenon.
lol, blushing now Sallyh.
they're ginkgo trees, the bane of philadelphia
And NYC. Fetid.
Blech.

Gingko trees are very interesting trees - they are an old species and IIRC, they reproduce in an interesting manner, which of course I can't discuss because it escapes me at the moment.

In my experience, when push comes to shove the SPSA approximation method is a tool that will never break in your hand.
I'm not too crazy about some of the other approximation methods, but what are ya gonna do?
So... what the fuck were we talking about, again?
Sallyh,
Euc's are extremely variable. Something on the order of 350 species.
little brother call me what you will babe. It's all good.
n8nyc--actually, I do have an engineering idea, which I discussed with my da's former business partner (mainly because my da is deceased, otherwise it would have been him), and he's putting me in touch with some vulture capitalists.
I taught at juvie for 5 years when I first started teaching, and I was never threatened by the inmate kids, but constantly by the guards.
We had a "minimum security" prison in our town, and my father taught math classes there once a week for a few years. He said he preferred it to teaching high school - since the inmates actually wanted to be there, and knew if they fucked around, they'd go back to their cells.

The guards were complete assholes. I learned to leave my wallet in the glovebox of my car, as well as my cigarettes; all of them had their contents repeatedly stolen. I had 2 that harassed me sexually, and complaints about them were for naught.

Watertiger--the problem is that I need about half a million bucks to bring this idea to development, and needless to say, that ain't a reality here.
The most annoying family I ever dealt with was this family who's son was really borderline developmentally disabled. He had never been in trouble before and then started running around with an ex-con who talked him into robbing a Catholic Church that was always open. When they got there, there was a woman there praying. They raped her in the church and stole her rings. They were both charged with burglary and rape and the judge was so pissed he stacked this kid's sentences rather than run them CC - 2 20-year sentences stacked to make 40.
I represented the kid on appeal. His father used to call me almost daily. He always always said: "The judge was too harsh; he's never been in trouble before." That used to really boggle my mind. I finally told him - no, but when he decided to get in trouble, he went right over the cliff. Raping a woman in a church is about as much trouble as you can get in.
Uncle Smokes,
Je t'adore.
watertiger
Do you see, darling. She adores you.

Well of course she adores you! Who doesn't adore you? Everyone adores you!

Afghan blast wounds US soldiers
A roadside bomb has wounded five US soldiers after it hit their vehicle in eastern Afghanistan, while a suicide attack on a US-led multinational force convoy in the south has killed the bomber but hurt no one else, according to officials.
A purported Taliban spokesman, Mohammed Hanif, called AP on Saturday to claim responsibility for both attacks.
In the north, an intruder killed a lawmaker in his home.
After Saturday's roadside bombing in mountainous Kunar province, insurgents opened fire at the troops, a US military statement said.

The intervention didn't work, so we choked him with a bunny-shaped collectible plate.

Gee, what a shock.

Um, well, never mind, you wouldn't believe me anyway.

That thread was enjoyable.
Fake Republican tatas sheets.
Austin is one of the prettiest places in the country this time of year.
I spent an Easter weekend there when I was in high school. A friend and I went down there just for the hell of it and it really is glorious this time of year.
(((Jeffraham and Curly!!!)))
Saturday morning and my boys are here. Life is good
Is it just me or does "Castration without malice" sound like a good name for a rock band?
It's oppressive here today. The humidity has been building all week and the air's like a damp heating pad today.

houston is nasty. as usual.

I once saw the Panty Shields open for the Meat Puppets. No lie.

They really scrambled to come up with charges for those guys. Since the victims were willing, they don't have any complainants so it's strictly a matter of the state against the castrators. They couldn't charge them with assault or battery - not with willing victims.

but only until you get a record deal and the label says "hmm... that's too edgy. let's go with an grouping of letters and numbers... how about, just off the top of my head: RU-486? what do you think?"
(sorta like how Alice in Chains used to be called Fuck...)
It seems we have a suspect already.
I'm guessing they may find Cheetos on the premises.
I was thinking Twinkies.
"It's fucking tragic, watertiger. That shot of him crowding Clinton to get through the door first is so embarrassing that I'm embarrassed for him. And I hate his guts."

I wonder what his emotional age is, 7,8? When I get reminded of stuff like that, I really have to wonder what was done to him as a kid.
After spending brutal summer after brutal summer in NYC
Still can't decide which city has worse summers, New York (where I live now) or Chicago (my hometown). Chicago wins the Brutal Winter Award hands down, though.
And by the way, today is the seventh anniversary of my becoming a resident of New York City.
Well...I've given pneumatic thoughts to Sallyh and made Tena groan.
My work here is done.
Y'all take care of your good selves, and don't castrate anyone, even if they ask you nicely, even if the offer comes with a lovely set of Ginsu knives and a doohickey that makes julian fries.

I have tickets for Wolf Parade at Webster Hall next weekend, and the opening band is called Holy Fuck. Doesn't sound too promising to me...
And wasn't it the Leaving Trains who put out an album entitled "Fuck"?
Jeffraham--what a great shot of Curly!
Cats know about their personal space. Yours, not so much.

ha! i don't know! I have never heard of any of those bands!
Okay, I am way late to this party, and given the tenor of the comments here you all are going to think I am crazy, but this dungeon shouldn't necessarily be used as an example of dysfunction in Boboland. And it definitely shouldn't be put on the same plane as the crimes in red states that Duncan usually points to.
Body modification (of which this story is admittedly an advanced example) is a common practice in BDSM, and all else equal, people who enjoy it are not more screwed up than those who occasionally use a blindfold or restraints in bed. I am not into body mod myself (he hastens to add), but my friends who are seem pretty sane. We all get off on whatever does it for us, and that happens to be what does it for them. Just because it's unusual doesn't make it wrong.
I might be misreading Duncan's point, I realize. He might be using this just to show that red-state residents enjoy the same kind of kinks that they denounce in "liberal degenerates". Calling them on hypocrisy, rather than calling them sick, is fine.
I have never heard of any of those bands!
Pick up Wolf Parade's latest. I guarantee it'll rock your world.

Abs. It's great for the abs, too.

In my experience, sex makes all kinds of things firm and hard.
Good times all around, really.

good morning Moonbats. Poppie, you really need to come up to the hill country. The bluebonnetts are blooming here and the rest of the wildflowers are just about ready to pop. All of the oaks across the creek are leafing out in a riot of greens. Its Market Day in Wimberley and the gomers and geezers are out for the first big buy of the season. Its a lovely day for it 76* breezy and partly cloudy.
Voluntary castration. Hmmm.
Perhaps these men felt plagued and vexed by their lustful desires, and seeking to forge a better path towards righeousness, decided to fix their problem.
Anything to help control the population of idiots.
From all indications, all that was really going on here is an extreme form of body modification. Sure its bizarre. But it seems to me all they could actually be charged with is something akin to health code violations operating an unlicensed tattoo parlor or body piercing operation. But only if it was done for money.
