Coarse? For this crowd? Are you new here?

Posted by: subbie | September 27, 2009 10:49 PM

Yeah, I kinda am. And I'm a bit worried about my early postings giving folks the wrong impression about me. So I decided to put in something tawdry with a cheap pun and clear up any misconceptions early.

This IS the place for slutty and coarse remarks. Fire when ready.

Retractable Forehead Genitalia

This sounds strikingly similar to an activity referred to as a [starts with an F and rhymes with cheerio] also known as [rhymes with glow] job.

You know I wonder how life would be if we humans had the Baculum like some animals do?

Oh, great. Another sorehead
With his dick upon his forehead
Where the lady sharks can size him up before he buys them drinks.
See, these jerks will never fail ya--
With their forehead genitalia
All the blood runs from his frontal lobes before he even thinks!
All too often, he's a show-off;
If he's not, he gets the blow-off
From the superficial ladies who are judging him by size.
To ensure that he's selected
Keeps his forehead half erected--
Hoping vainly to get lucky with his phallocentric lies.
Such a silly, hopeless creature
With so prominent a feature
Still, I'd like to get together, maybe have a little chat;
If the women criticize him
For his forehead, I'd advise him,
On the first or second date, perhaps, he ought to wear a hat.

That Hydrolagus malanophasma is more of a dickhead than ray comfort and kirk cameron combined.

Cuttlefish,

That's brilliant!

I think you've got the start of a major sea-themed Broadway musical number there.

Well Cuttlefishom ..there's doggerel and there's doggerel...and I still think a sex-themed musical sea-romp would be a ratings winner.

Anyway as Sven pointed out, there's an even lower class of doggerel called Smoggerel.

I guess we'd better stop talking ... Dingo will tell us to get a room again

Great band name.

Cuttlefish & Smoggy: I once typed a haiku about an erection, but for some reason it flew out of my mind.
Try to keep an open mind about things, people.
Oh, and -- subbie -- Coarse, Pharyngula ? you're kidding!

It was a pleasure bumping into you.

As you will see in my Monday (I think evening) post at the Smithsonian (where I'll be guest blogging for a week) calling this feature a sex organ is a little like calling a well chosen wine and just the right music a sex organ. This is really just a basic standard fish appendage adapted to grab onto the female so she can't get away during the act.

But that does not make any of the jokes less funny.

Smoggy & Cuttlefish - get a room. :)

Maybe this kind of critter is what Dian Bachar(also played Squeak in Baseketball) on Trey Parker and Matt Stones movie Orgazmo(about the Mormon porn stars) was trying to emulate. http://www.ladylitz555.com/images/1241639904175856343644.jpeg
