Flabbergasted and Appalled...

It's GRM, anything is possible

You've never had good Thai food. jg

Oh, I've had it. Right at the source. So let me revise this.... there is nothing funny about looking at a picture of a human bowel movement. Ok, so TG1C was sorta funny in the sickest way possible.

I thought two of us nailed it already. Am I wrong?

There was a picture of Rennie peeing on a cactus--that was the Ranchero story, IIRC. It prompted a single letter that started out somewhat similarly. No weenies were harmed in the making of that picture.

Yeah - somehow the issue with the complaint letter ended up back in my hands during a reading session, and that letter that made me chuckle 10 years ago made me do so again, so I figured it was worth sharing again.

So, the next time someone says, "..y'know, you can eat cactus.." I can say, well..it depends?

E36 M3, I said 'Denny'. I guess close doesn't count. I did mention the Ranchero though.

Christ, I spend too much time here.

My standard response to anyone who has an issue with human nudity or bodily functions:

Take it up with the designer or your therapist; its your disfunction.

Some bedtime reading to ease you in to the subject.

Must stop reading this stuff at work while on break, giggling like a psycho while sitting in the corner alone...

I wonder what everyone on miata.net thinks of the cactus peeing photo? We should find out.

I couldn't love GRM the magazine or the website more, and believe me, I don't like to be the P.C police or anything or the guy who has a problem with everything thing, but I do have a problem with this... I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like “flabbergasted" and "appalled" for your little descriptions or whatever in the discussions. I myself am not hefty, but I feel sensitivity for people with who are, as I am a student living among them, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field.

These terms although I'm pretty sure are not even real words, are obviously meant to resemble the words used to describe people with ass impalements, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who are afflicted with hefty attributes

Any chance of getting said letter posted in this thread?

Depends on who's being entertained. i'd find it funnier if I relieved myself on said cacti, as opposed to an electric fence. Now if it were someone else doing the relieving, gimme that electric fence.

Nice try Mr Cactus.

or as it would've said in the comic strip 'BC':

Cacti got typewriters!

I find it a bit offensive that you use terms like "pee" "cactus," and "#2" etc etc... for your little fast-car stories or whatever in the forums. I myself do not have a cactus, nor am I a "miata" or "canoe" owner, but I feel sensitivity for people who like those things as I am practicing to be a troll on the internet, and my Girlfriend is pursuing her masters in the field.

These terms although I'm pretty sure are not even made for use in english, are obviously meant to resemble the words used to describe people with small reproductive organs, and it appears that they are used on these boards in a joking sense which, as I view it, makes light of people who are afflicted with tiny bladders, or a shrunken/tight sphincter.

drats...hoop beat me too it

I copied it word for word.

What, nobody complaining about "Hotlinked Images" yet.

It sure does!

I was about to recommend a meeting where we all sit around and drink beer well into the night.

But I guess it already happens without me. 20xx challenge, the Mitty, etc. Any others?

Hotlinked pic of a very "special" cactus my parents have on their deck:

Half of the time, it seems to happen in the Off Topic threads during the week.
