Needed a first draft before you got the final copy, did we, Danae?

Not so fast you sexist author. Fertilizer? Really?

Boys are made of worms and snails and puppy dog tails, not fertilizer. Get real!

Because girls are made of honey, they became a major contributing factor of diabetes.

In the interest of sexual equality, I propose replacing the word fertilizer with “womanure”.
Wilde Bill over 8 years ago
The other day you booed me, and I didn’t quite understand why. And now you want to teach me about diabetes? Btw, my father died from complications from diabetes and high blood pressure, so I do know something about it.

Methinks there was a considerable amount of spice added to the Sacred Rose if Danae popped out of it.

I’m waiting for the scriptures regarding pain that her church’s sign suggests, or will that be the same scripture regarding the creation of boys?

Bruno, feminists?…I’m a feminist and I’m pissed…But aren’t we all?

Female & feminist if it means I don’t have to get stuck with the housework, but I don’t grow many roses. Can’t eat ‘em.Lots of tasty things grow in well fertilized beds. I think I’d rather be tasty than pretty but useless. Sorry, Danae, I’m a heretic

I’m a cisgender, and I am being discriminated against.(I learned a new word this week. Can you tell?)

On a different note:If boys’ development is a result of over-fertilization,can that be the reason so many boys grow to become politicians?As in, pre-conditioned to the profession.

It has happened again. My comment from yesterday has vanished! It was not off-color at all. Only mentioned that a cat’s hairball looks more like a moon than the earth. How can that be edited out?

So girls are the product of bee barf. (That’s what honey is.)

franki_gRose hips (buds) are a good source of vitamins, and therefore edible.

Flower and honey? Well, OK. Lucy seems to go along; now yes, here comes Danae and her thing about boys. Of coursein ‘due time’ that may be, with time of course…

Church of Danae seems as good as any other.

Somewhere, Billy Sol Estes is having a good chuckle about fertilizer. I think you young ones will have to look this one up.

High fructose corn syrup is poison! Everybody should eat healthy fruit sugar instead. (Now, what was the other name for fruit sugar? Oh yeah, “fructose!”)

Sarah, as in shooting yourself in the back with a single shot rifle, seven times?
hippogriff over 8 years ago
whiteheronNo you’re not. You are just getting a rare taste of what the other genders have been putting up with for ages. It seems that experience might teach you something, but apparently nothing but another polysyllablic word.

Well, it certainly turns the traditional creation story on its head.
