This is a bumper sticker I saw today.

Pretty pathetic isn't it?

13 years later and I bought an old used car that had this sticker on it. Maybe the previous owner was our culprit.

Christ is obviously on a skate-board (snorts @ BMX)... a BMX is not conducive to crucifixion...

worraliberty · 18/05/2011 23:58

Oh Christ on a BMX! Or any other choice of God/non God and mode of transport (so as not to offend the mortally offended)

He had a sticker with 'whores wanted' on his bumper and you're offended by Zumba changed his wife?

Too fucking funny Grin

It may well have changed his wife.

I changed my waistline becasue of the sheer intensity of the aerobic exercise.

It's meant to be funny Grin

Blimey I go out for a couple of hours and it all kicks off!!

squeakytoy · 18/05/2011 23:15

it is

squeakytoy · 18/05/2011 23:15

Yep Himalaya that is exactly what is is derived from. :)

Isn't the joke based on the fact that Zumba goers get quite evangelical and devoted to it. It's like a religious conversion - 'Zumba changed my life' not 'i went down 2 dress sizes' or whatever.

AgentZigzag · 18/05/2011 22:52

x-post, no swearing either?? You're on the wrong forum aren't you?

valiumlatte · 18/05/2011 22:51

Quod erat demonstrandum? Means - 'that which was to be proved' - so yes, your interpretation is absolutely right zigzag Grin

K999 · 18/05/2011 22:49

Yes, swearing is outrageous. Grin

AgentZigzag · 18/05/2011 22:49

Ooooooo latin at whatever o'clock it is Grin

I'll guess at a translation of 'you've just proven my point beyond doubt'?

squeakytoy · 18/05/2011 22:48

you were offended by the word "fucking"..... Confused

valiumlatte · 18/05/2011 22:48

You find the swearing fucking offensive?

Well fuck me sideways!

Night night you little ray of joy!

Had to, it is the swearing bit I find most OFFENSIVE

I am leaving the thread now, as it has started to implode. 4 pages is pretty good though, I am impressed.

See you on the boards.

You reported me?

Quod erat demonstrandum - I rest my case!

Hope you feel better - it's certainly given me a good snigger before bed!!!

AgentZigzag · 18/05/2011 22:44

Bahaha for you reporting vallium for telling you to lighten up and that she finds you 'fucking humourless' Grin

forwantofabetter1 · 18/05/2011 22:43

Snakes you're obviously not going to the right Zumba class!

zigzag I tell you there is a lot of cats bum face from me, but I am not a joyless misery guts, and tend to let a lot of these things in RL slide over me, and get on with having a life. I vent on MN, that is where I can let it out, and get a measure of what others think.

Also your post has made me go a bit crossed eyed!

squeakytoy · 18/05/2011 22:40

why should they have to squeaky?

Because they are not pathetic politically correct whingers who are incapable of telling the difference between a joke and an insult.

valliumlate I have reported you, shame you felt you had to make a personal attack in what so far has not been a particularly heated or nasty debate.

I've always wondered how someone who feels offended by something a lot of other people don't find offensive, deals with any offence their being offended causes?

hehe, not cunt.

But worse in that they would be considered very sexist and derogatory terms on MN, and I suppose we must have said them in front of other people, perhaps even including them in the blanket banter.

If it comes down to predicting whether one person might possibly take offence at something you've said, then perhaps squeaky's right and MN better be taken offline as there's nothing left to say.
