Can we have a Wanker's Corner?

[onebatmother]

Hello.

It's been noted in the past that there are some pretentious wankers amongst us who like to discuss some general subjects (eg.Porn, Religion) in a fairly, erm.. academic manner, and that this sometimes seems to intimidate and/or infuriate other posters.

There doesn't seem to be an easy solution to this problem: there's no doubt that people really do feel intimidated and that it might prevent them from posting on a subject that concerns them. It also must feel hijack-y at times.

At the same time, it's hard for the Wanker's to be told that they mustn't post anything that might intimidate.

Would it be possible to have a special place, with very hard chairs to keep us awake, that we may call our own?

If there are going to be seminars, I'd like to drop in occasionally (especially if the first one, ceteris paribus et mutatis mutandis, is on lawyers' Latin).

OH LOLOL whomoved! Fabulous! Do you think they do touristy things? A present from Wanker's Corner?

sheesh, those yanks.

But I agree, it has a hopelessly huge carbon-footprint.

I propose Norwich for our WC.

As one of slightly onanistic tendencies I support the call. Although WC (as it will no doubt end up being called - have you thought of that, hmmmm?) will no doubt be occasionally "flamejacked" by lowbrows.

Will we be allowed to discuss low culture in an academic way in WC - like The Modern Review? Textual palimpsests in the visual work of Kylie Minogue and so on?

And surely it should be Wankers' Corner? ON the basis that it will be the home of more than one wanker? Honestly, you will have Frau Ueberwankergruppenfuehrerin Lynne Truss after you.

Now that is just uncanny. DD is Ceteris Paribus Onebat, and Mutatis Mutandis Onebat is my darling boy.

My own dear twins are Ipso Facto and Inter Alia, named by their dear pater, Quod Erat Demonstrandum.

Oh UQD I've mea culpa'd that apostrophe already

But yes - I think that giving ludicrously disproportionate weight to pop culture should be number one of our commandmnent, if we are all agreed.

But of course OBM why wouldn't you be able to get memorabilia from such a place!

Are we to have a written constitution?

I am much taken with UQD's proposal for the study of the divine Ms Minogue and her textual palimpsests but, given our location, I think we should perhaps begin by discussing (say) alienation and anomie in In The Night Garden.

at Wankers Corner t-shirts!

which one of you told the Americans what 'wanker' means?

Oh come on, where do you think we learned to do it so well?

and clearly you didn't scroll down the the red g strings for wankers either!

I think anomie is my very favourite word.

Swedes, I believe you are right! stuffit's was pretty close, wasn't it?

I have a tension headache, brought on by unwonted stimulation.

Goodnight my dears, and fingers crossed.

sweet jesus she's right you know

So I guess that wraps up the problem of what the clubhouse uniform should be.

Roffle at all of you!

Yes i did obm I divined it

instant recognition

that makes you like brad pitt or summink

Queer Reading of Balamory?

Marxist critique of Me Too?

Hmm, I notice that the vast majority of putative wankers are also pedants.

OBM, UQD, Iorek, WMMC, habbibu, Swedes.

Right, I'm off to start a thread in baby names with lots of s in it, concerning 'a friend of mine' who has givenherchildrenfunnylatinnameswhatdoyouthink

I think the world needs wankers and the world includes mn

They will all end up reading the Daily Mail in their dotage so should be allowed to have their fun

may i be admitted if i can use obtain as an intransitive verb
