Shit. I've had five posts hidden and I'm pretty sure all are because I used the word "tits".

[HopeHoops]

"...and tits doesn't even belong on the list. It sounds like a nickname - Toots meet Tits, Tits Toots, Toots Tits." - The late great George Carlin.

2. Many will get the hint after only two or three. Few need four.

Congratulations on setting the bar so high! And as the farmer's wife told him, use an udder word.

[HopeHoops]

6. I'm pretty sure I posted all of them within about five minutes - took a while to get hidden.

11. They are weeks apart.

"My cat and I are the only guys in a house full of females on the rag." was Mar 09

[HopeHoops]

13. Um, that didn't involve "tits", but yes, I remember that one.

[Scuba]

16. Perhaps you should reconsider how others might hear your message.

Nah.

[HopeHoops]

18. Yeah, I'm me. As Popeye said, "I yam what I yam what I yam what I yam."

Isn't it sad that I'm quoting a cartoon character?

[ZombieHorde]

3. It is not the word, but rather the context in which the word was used. nt

4. One was about republicans

so... boobs, I guess.

5. sounds like a snack food ...

"New Nabisco T*ts!"

7. WITH CHEEEEEESE, Grommit!

8. Not this one:

"She always struck me as one of those, oh shit, what's the word? I remember it starts with a "c"."

14. "critter"

9. I was on a jury that voted in favor of Middlefinger's use of t#t.

Can they keep alerting until they get the response they're looking for?

[Kaleva]

19. There's no double jeopardy so people can't keep alerting on the same post till they get...

a jury that agrees with them and hides the post.

[siligut]

10. Maybe just curb it back a bit, we are still getting used to the jury system

I would not have voted to hide any of the posts that were in The Lounge, but I spend a fair amount of time here and know it is different. We are easier here and we say stupid, crazy stuff and it's a good thing.

12. Tits & boobies

[Wait Wut]

15. For the love of breasts...

...everyone has tits. Most men over 40 have bigger tits than I do. Yeah, probably TMI, but I think I've made my point.

[HopeHoops]

17. Breasts are good. They serve as food and an incentive to produce the thing that needs it.

20. Tat for tit!

21. what do some people have against the avian family Paridae?

[Iggo]

22. Tits?

Really.

Tits?

23. Saying you're voting for a local Repub and writting in a Green candidate was one.

Once you hit five, everyone can read your transparency page and see and read what posts were hidden.

[HopeHoops]

26. Well Vance is one of the last moderates (hardcore challenger) and the Green was a protest vote.

I know the Green just ended up in the "Other" category, but it registered as a vote that wasn't for any of the GOP buffoons.

[Kaleva]

29. The local township board was made up of Repubs even though they were listed as Dems

It was a custom that went back decades. If one wanted to run for a seat on the board, they registered as a Dem even if they were a Repub. For some long forgotten reason, no one registered and ran as a Repub. The Dem primary then was the real election for township board and the general was just a formality confirming the primary results.

It'd be like Romney et al. registering as Democrats and running against Obama in the Dem primary. Obama wins the primary, is nominated as the Dem candidate and runs unopposed in the general election.

30. We have a lot of cross-candidates (both R & D tickets) and it takes some research.

I really don't think it's fair for people to cross-file. I closely read the position statements of the candidates, which is made even more necessary by the cross-filing. Most people don't realize that if you vote straight-ticket, a cross-filed candidate will get the vote either way. That just seems wrong. We vote individually for each specific seat(s) specifically to avoid giving votes to Republicans who are trying to leach off votes through straight-ticket voting. With Corbett in office, I don't see that situation changing anytime soon.

My vet's a Republican and although his views are about as close to Democratic Party views as I can imagine, he ran for and won a seat on the school board (with my proud support). His only focus was on quality of education, not cutting taxes like the other GOP candidates. School board posts are the most thankless jobs in the political world as far as I'm concerned. My wife served three years as an elected member of a NH school board and it was hell. The biggest argument the right had against her was "she's a teacher AND a parent" - like those are bad things. She still won a solid majority, and was a regular subject of right-wing LTTE in our local paper. Two years later, a guy who hated taxes ran on the "I'll cut your taxes" platform. He won by 13 votes over a candidate who didn't even try to campaign. The first thing he did was propose raising the stipend for school board members. It passed by 4-1 with my wife, THE LIBERAL, casting the only "nay" vote. Cut taxes my ass.

31. For years we had a township supervisor who did nothing but was very popular.

He and his wife divorced and he announced he was moving to another state and would not run for re-election. Another person won his position and he tried to do things like get a playground built for the kids next to the local ball field. This and other things he tried to do really pissed some people off and the township meetings, which used to be snooze fests, became a place for alot of arguing and temper tantrums. The supervisor finally had enough and didn't run for re-election after one term. The guy who replaced also tried to get things done but resigned after a short period. Then the new guy was a do-nothing type and things returned to normal and everyone was happy.

I tip my hat to people like your wife who are willing to serve. The shit they have to put up with.

32. NH towns have public meetings (same people always show up).

I used to say "The meeting's never over until the fat lady screams." - it was true. She and her husband were the richest couple in town (and yes, she was McLarge) but had a couple of mansions in the lakes regions where there aren't any schools (thus minimal taxes). They just used the small house in our town to get schooling and despite all of their money all she did was scream into the microphone about taxes - every damn meeting. She ran for school board one year and was soundly trounced - her quote to the paper, "I shall return, me and Patton." (it wasn't Patton who said that, it was MacArthur). She never ran again (fortunately).

24. You could always use the politically correct word "teats" as a substitute

[MiddleFingerMom]

25. "Teatie bars"? Nah.

[Major Nikon]

27. They call 'em dairies

[HopeHoops]

28. Or as Steve Martin said in a 30+ year old stand-up routine:

"They should only be referred to as 'hooters'."

I think that was the same routine where he talked about going to a topless cabaret in Las Vegas and used the line "THERE must be FIFTY-SEVEN TITS up there!" Leave it to Steve to pick an odd number.
