Funny stuff. Of course I'm stuck on question 5. I want to pick C but I get the feeling that's the wrong answer. I try to look toward my political leaders for the correct answer. They should know, right?! Who am I kidding. I wouldn't get past the qualifications. Notorized by a virgin? In this country?? Now that truly is funny!

La Sirena said...

I know, I know...you're such a follower. Maybe your leaders will lead you to the virgins -- hey, wait! Isn't that the reward for Jihad? Or is that just a rumor?

Indigobusiness said...

Interesting, but bashing is gratuitous criticism (in this context), not beating. That's battery.

Lead me to the virgins...however.

La Sirena said...

There will be no virgins sacrificed to you, Mr. Business.

From Webster:
The persecution of homosexuals and transgendered individuals (gay-bashing) is the practice of persecuting a person, usually through physical attack, because they are or are perceived to be gay, lesbian, bisexual, or transgendered.

Indigobusiness said...

Then sacrifice me to them.

Webster always catches up to colloquial usage, eventually.

La Sirena said...

Have at it. Personally, I'm with Jimi Hendrix on this one.

Gay battery refers to domestic violence within a homosexual relationship, not the hate crime.

Indigobusiness said...

I was making general distinction regarding your contextual use of bashing.

You are wrong, now sit down.

Preferably in a corner.

La Sirena said...

I will concede to being guilty of the indulgence of hyperbole -- from a contextual perspective.

"No one puts (Sirena) in the corner."

Indigobusiness said...

Spank me...spank you.

La Sirena said...

What do you mean?
Estoy confundida.

Indigobusiness said...

Aha! Everybody wins.

La Sirena said...

So you say...

Indigobusiness said...

Uh oh. You lose.

Should've sat in the corner.

Is arbitrary assignation of winners and losers one of your superpowers?

You go sit in the corner.

Indigobusiness said...

There you go again.

Bad loser.

La Sirena said...

(Sigh. Eye roll. )

Your real superpower is nonsensicality.

Indigobusiness said...

You figured me out.

To no avail.

La Sirena said...

But figuring people out is so damned gratifying.

Mmmmmm...mmmmm...Thanks.
