Had another round of contentious bickering on another forum regarding the derogatory phrase, "that's so gay."

Kind of ruined my day.

You got the phrase wrong - It's supposed to be "that's so ghey."

ha!

I know a fanfic writer who spells "god" in her fanfic "ghod." This is to avoid offending the deity, I guess.

But since this particular fanfic was about men screwing each other, I think it was kind of a wasted effort.

maybe she's Jewish.

Quote:
Judaism does not prohibit writing the Name of God per se; it prohibits only erasing or defacing a Name of God. However, observant Jews avoid writing any Name of God casually because of the risk that the written Name might later be defaced, obliterated or destroyed accidentally or by one who does not know better.

The commandment not to erase or deface the name of God comes from Deut. 12:3. In that passage, the people are commanded that when they take over the promised land, they should destroy all things related to the idolatrous religions of that region, and should utterly destroy the names of the local deities. Immediately afterwards, we are commanded not to do the same to our God. From this, the rabbis inferred that we are commanded not to destroy any holy thing, and not to erase or deface a Name of God.
from here which has been a very useful and infomative site for me since moving to America.

Only if you think the deity is offended by man-on-man action.

I'm sure she was probably jewish, but since she was essentially writing porn, it seemed kinda incongruous to me.

and you're right, Zengum. I am suitably chastised.

Lately, I've been drinking a super health drink.

I mix up a musashi protien drink, then add a Yakult yoghurt drink to it, and then use this to wash down a fish oil capsule.

If this doesn't work, I'm gonna cross the streams.

Well, the two drinks taste fine by themselves, and you hardly notice the capsule.

Mind you, that is only for a certain brand of whey-based protein, the soy-based ones I have tried (a) taste gross and (b) do terrible things to/in my bowels.

It was cold enough last night to drive a mouse inside looking for warmth. First catch of the season was discovered this afternoon.
