I'm not sure any angels ever put Icy Hot on their balls (if they have balls), maybe it was because they were a'feared to tread there.!
If they have balls? Do they have Icy Hot? It seems to me that one of the few advantages of heaven is a possible lack of branding. Whoops I mean "branding." Although, they may lack both.
BTW How many angels can dance on the point of a red hot poker?

Actually, the Bible addresses the issue of gender in Heaven somewhat indirectly. The Sadducees, who didn't believe in resurrection from the dead or in Jesus, tested Him with a question. They asked Him about seven brothers and their one wife. The first brother marrier her and then died, the second brother married her and died and so on through all seven brothers. They wanted to know then whose bride she would be in Heaven. Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven."

Hopefully, if angels have any kind of genitalia and the angelic equivalent of Icy Hot, their 'divine wisdom' will give them enough 'common sense' not to put the two together!

dryer surprise

Post by AntiM » Sat Apr 17, 2004 6:42 am

Maybe this belongs over in youthful indiscretions:

Okay, this was really mean, and I rarely admit having done this to a guy .... I was in the navy and lived in the barracks on Diego Garcia. (Small tropical island seven degrees below the equator in the middle of the Indian Ocean, literally thousands of miles from anywhere). The one laundry room was always in use and had nowhere to hang out while you did your wash. Given the tiny nature of the landryroom and the hot evironment of a tropical island, you reallly could not stay there for the entire time it took to dry your clothes. So the routine was to put your clothes in to wash, go shoot some pool in the barracks lounge, come back and put your clothes in the dryer, return, and fold 'em up and haul 'em back to your room. Laundry room etiquette was that if you didn't return by the time your clothes were dry, someone else could neatly take them out and set them back in your basket or on top of the dryer IF they were dry. Some nice folks would even fold them. It was pretty much taboo to fuck with the wash.

As everyone knows, dryers take a lot longer than washers. My friend and I would do laundry together, and we'd head back down to get our dry clothes and find them on the top of the dryer, still wet. If we didn't stand guard over our stuff, the same fuckwad would take out clothes out so he could dry his things. We knew the same fuckwad was doing this, hey, in the military you really do put your name in all your underwear! We tried talking to him and got told to fuck off, it wasn't him, it wasn't his problem ... and so on. So we tried going back, taking his clothes out wet, and drying ours. This worked once, then he began dumping our clothes on the ground and walking on them. We knew better than to steal his clothes, the navy frowns on theft, but expects you to work out squabbles all on your own. Also, we weren't the only victims, he did this to any one who was hapless enough to not stand guard over their clothes.

I wish I'd thought of icy hot, but as we didn't have any, we had to use an acceptable ball-unfriendly substitute. Nair. Thousands of miles from civilization and the tiny mini-mart carried nair. We waited until he had pulled someone else's wet clothes out of the dryer and put his in. We went in after he left, took out his tighty-whities, which are the only underwear which a man can successfully wear in navy whites (summer tropical uniform), and applied nair all inside the crotches. It dries to an invisible film if applied carefully enough. I think the dryer sheets masked the odor.

Anyway, the next afternoon after work, a very hot, sweaty kind of day ... which describes everyday on Diego Garcia even when it rains ... we all knew he'd had some sort of horrible experience in the shower. We could hear the screams of laughter (his roomates we think) and disbelief (likely his) throughout the barracks. I understand Petty Officer Fuckwad spent the next morning at sickcall finding out why all the hair on his balls had washed off. I imagine it was painful during the dry application stages too. The medics must have been busting a gut. I hope I didn't truly hurt the guy, but (ba ba bump) it seemed like a really good idea at the time.

My friend and I were never accused of anything, but he started going over to another barracks to do his laundry.

I swear I'd never, ever do anything so mean to another human being ever again. really, trust me.

Hmmm...sounds familiar...where have I heard that before? Oh yeah! I've said the very same thing myself!

Excellent story! LOL imagining Lt. Fuckwad freaking out in the shower over his sudden shedding problem.

That would be "footprint of freedom" as the damn thing is shaped like a foot. The movies were shown on a concrete wall, yes near the pool. They had to build a hill to put the pool in ...

the cocoanut crabs were HUGE and not to be fucked with.

Hot yes, but Japan was more humid

Well, be prepared to fight *me* as I will be forcibly removing the pants from any guy who looks like he needs to be free of his pants, regardless of age or shape.

Free those penises! Wear just a tee-shirt! If it makes you fuckin happy, do it and fuck these fashion nazis up the ass. Fuck all y'all that want to tell me what's beatiful, or aesthetically pleasing. Fuck all y'all that want to repress someone's free expression, freedom of dress, freedom of whatever.

There's alot of squealing around here about the spirit of burningman and what is and is not acceptable within that milieu. So... is it in that hallowed, sacred spirit to go around telling people what they may and may not wear? Is it in that spirit to embarass and shame people into it by calling 'em unattractive and making sure they they think no one wants to see 'em?

Hey guys! Here's one woman that will smile at every guy wearing a shirt and no pants she sees next burn. So help me Jeebus.
Umm Lydia... We aren't the fashion police, but we can start one of those too. Seriously we don't want to repress anyone. Come on over, you can pull our pants down if ya like.

On looking back at gothalot's post, I see it more now as just an obnoxiously sarcastic post, but don't get a sense that he's really intending to DO what he's saying. If he's not actually intending to do this to anyone, I have no real problem with him.
On first reading, I interpreted his post to read that he was actually planning on pointing out men in a crowd and humiliating them, which would be exceptionally cruel.
Since now I don't expect that is his intention, I'm relaxed and chilled, guys. Yeah, I still shake my head at people who spew misogynistic and ageist crap **jokingly**, but they're free to do so, and I'm free to call them pathetic losers.
Like I said, I just wanna go and feel like I can do my trip, enjoy seeing other's trips, and hopefully, share as many trips with others as I can. Naked. :lol: Peace
Yeah! You got it! Gothalot has no intention to run with Pantzooka Patrol providing pants to the pantless, IT WAS A PARODY! argh...

Hell we don't know Lydia at all. You must be special. Grieving for shortcomings? Feel free to explain your definition of the word "contrite".

I was assuming that they'd be donations, your own worn to the core, thrift store specials, and whatever you pulled out of the People's Park Free box. K-martha's a step above what I thought!

leave the pantscannon! **sputters**

Are you MAD?

think "target rich environment".

You obviously don't understand how this works. You opress us, we revolt.

Firing off a couple of rounds of pants will just break the ice for the party.

Sheesh.

Yes but crotchless panties, do you KNOW how hard those are to fire. They just poof out of the canon flinging wildly and could end up in the hands of some scarry guy that might actually wear them. Even WE have limits. But no worry we like opressing, its like foreplay with a climactic expulsion of pants at the end. Oh I need a cig now.

No thank you, not as far as I'm concerned. I've seen plenty. I can't vouch as to the qualities of your scarriness, but I'll definately vouch for your visual scariness.

I don't think that this post will ever return to the original topic of discussion, but it doesn't bother me any. It just goes from one strange topic to the next, its kind of interesting to see the transitions.

Hey.. I think you hit the nail on the head !!! That's the essence of Burning Man right there.. It goes from one strange topic to the next and the transitions are kinda fun. That's the way it seems to me, in any case.
How many days til I can go back?
