I just noticed this thread...
So this means we can expound upon the wonder that is the turducken?
And I missed why it was deemed evil.
Seems like a good thing to have for a large group of vegatarians (or those who like bird).
BTW what is a "Poofter"?

Dan Wisner, are you watching? This is why I didn't remove Rule 5 after Thanksgiving. Because I knew that the instant I did some, some pea-brain would ask this question.

>And I missed why it was deemed evil.

Because it's fucking disgusting, you moron! It said so right in the rule!

Iesu Christu, I give up.

>Seems like a good thing to have for a large group of vegatarians

Think before you say things like this. It should be obvious that vegatarians - as their name implies! - eat only Chevrolet Vegas. They wouldn't have much use for poultry. (Admittedly, the Vega was a turkey of a car, and pretty chickenshit to boot, but even so.)

Other groups which wouldn't eat it include vegetarians (who don't eat the flesh of animals), vegans (who don't eat anything that isn't a plant), and anyone with an aversion to salmonellosis.

Typo humor aside, this was my first thought upon seeing the thing as well (I'm antagonistic to most vegetarians that aren't under doctor's orders to be so, especially since that nutrition class I took where even the professor, who was an -advocate- of a vegetable heavy diet, admitted that getting all necessary nutrition from vegetable matter alone is both highly difficult and unlikely for anyone not taught which items to eat ahead of time).

   oh, just as an aside: in Waltham, near where I used to live, there's a mysterious building with a sign over the door that says 'French Club'. Despite the fact that I haven't seen Fight Club, I somehow ended up remarking to someone who had, as we were driving past the building, that the first rule of French Club is that you don't talk about French Club.

Said person looked puzzled for a moment, ran down the rest of Fight Club's rules in his head, and said, "If this is your first time at French Club, you must French?"

I was never quite able to look at that building the same way again after that.

"If this is your first time at Greek Club, you must Greek"? That doesn't make sense at all.

Not knowing latin...but understanding some of the latin based languages...I can only get something about 'launching forbidden things' from this...and babelfish doesn't translate latin. :)

You're close.... but it's more of the launcher that's forbidden. There is a similiar parable that gets raised by the gun-rights activists every time the US government looks like it is going to restrict gun ownership.

"If you do not give me all the money, I will hurl an enormous rock at your head." It's what comes after "catapultam habeo" ("I have a catapult") on ancient Roman bank holdup notes.
