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?

That Dirty cook clip is hysterical - so dirty.

The forced laughter is some of the fakest laughter ever in the history of time, partic from Big Dirty Ejac in yer Face Cook!

Do you think they could incorporate your DH's Marmite spray into a similar scene in Big Cook Little Cook? It would be good advertising.

I certainly remember the "lovely pair of knockers" on Blue Peter"!

And "princess pee pies" is no accident either.

Please can I do my piece on the debt Balamory owes to the Wicker Man when Wankers Corner opens??

Must finish packing. Must not let mumsnet make us miss plane.

WELL? Mumsnet? Can we pleeeeeeeeease have a Wanker's Corner/Seminar Room?

They're ignoring us, aren't they?

Shall I start another thread without Wanker in the title?

That jizz scene is very bad, btw Boco. Did you chance upon it, oris it stored in your favourites?

Actually, to begin the wank, I saw that episode on television, and it didn't strike me as some freakoid dwarf bukkake thing at all. What does this tell us about the extent to which meaning is led by medium?

In all toal unsparing honesty, onebat, do we reeeeeally need this topic? What about Adult Non-Fiction. That's quite a catch-all. And just putting 'Wnakers' on the door isn't really going to stop anyone dissing wankerese, is it?

Ooh have a good holiday IB

in that, once it's youtubed for consumption through the net, its meaning appears to change..

Damn you onebat I just googled 'bukkake' thinking it was some highbrow concept. Now will have to delete browsing history.

well, I suppose so Threadie, but I was thinking that we might want to discuss issues broadly, rather than specific books.

For example, several of the porn threads could have benefited from a place to adjourn to so that people who didnt want to discuss too cerebrally weren't wound up.

I don't really want to call it Wanker's Corner. The Seminar Room was good.

But you're probably right.

well, if we end up having a Wankers' Corner, I plan to bring my favourite chair and slippers and make it my home. I'll even tie my hair in a bun and dig out my old glasses.
There, I'm ready.

erk, sorry Threadie re bukkake!

NO-ONE GOOGLE BUKKAKE!!!

(welcome Sweeney, please do make yourself at home.)

It should really be called Mumsnet's Anus.

In my wanky opinion, you should take your wanking all over the board, not feel like you could only wank in one place.

This idea creates even more of a division between wankers and abstainers doesn't it? It gives people the come back of saying 'that's a bit wanky, take it to wankers corner' so that wanking will soon be seen as something only to be done in one place, rather than the blanket total board wanking that should be actively encouraged.

Be proud OB, you are a Wanker, so stand tall. (or, kind of stooped, with a claw hand and insane glint)

Wankers' Corner might attract the wrong type.

Hello PW!

LOLOL Boco - it's not an insane glint, I wouldn't say, but the claw hand is spot on.

Hmm, blanket total board wanking...

The trouble is that it does genuinely fuck people off. I can see why, too. And I feel a bit self-conscious now.

Boco LOL but wince at "blanket total board wanking".

Sweeney, you'll need the glasses, natch.

As will we all.

snigger Swedes. Do you have pampas grass in your garden?

Why should it fuck people off, and if it does, why should you have to do it in the corner? There are all sorts on mn, that's part of the experience and what makes it interesting isn't it, I don't think we should be sorting ourselves into corners. People might only think they don't like it, but when exposed regularly, they could become wankers too?

Boco is the mistress of the double entendre.

There's that wonderful line in Alan Bennett's History Boys where one of the boys is trying to get his leg over with his girlfriend and the girlfriend declines his kind offer. The boyfriend points to his bulging member and asks what he's to do about it. The girlfriend instructs him to "carry out a controlled explosion".

I only understand about 50% of what everyone is posting here.... does that mean I should ban myself from Wankers' corner?
