You guys, this week was totally way more fun than a box of tiny monkeys! Let me give you a quick recap: A announced a Drinking Skepchickally in San Diego tomorrow, I got my learner’s permit today so I’m on my way to being a licensed driver of cars and things, Sam created maybe the greatest thread ever by asking you guys to tell stories of how you met your significant others, Skepchick got some link love from Cute Overload, and following a tip I got from Kevin on Twitter I discovered this:
The other interesting thing that happened this week was that someone left a comment that was hilarious at the same time that it was incredibly poignant. In response to Elyse’s Afternoon Inquisition question wondering what comments drive pregnant women nuts, PinkBunny wrote:

@Elyse:
I hate hearing all of those! But the worst after a miscarriage is “You have a baby in heavenâ€
As if there is a chubby cherub waiting at the gates for me. I saw it coming out. It wasn’t cute. It wasn’t pleasant. It was tissue and blood and if there are four of those waiting for me in heaven, I’m glad I’m not going.

PinkBunny, thanks for the wonderful comment . . . for winning COTW, you get to choose next Wednesday’s Afternoon Inquisition. Just send it in via our comment form!
Wow I really didn’t expect to get comment of the week for that…. Now I need to think of a question!
@Pinkbunny: Congratulations. As far as the question one word. Boobies.
Congratulations!
I can’t think of a witty comeback for a question involving boobies. I wish I could.
@tiger kitty: Is anything more than a handful REALLY a waste?! As a woman with big boobs, I say no! But as a woman who likes woman, I tend to like smaller boobs on women. SO YES.
Oh, bother, who cares, boobies are always awesome.
Just got your permit?? How old are you?
@marilove: Big or small, evolved or engineered boobsies are always awesome.
I feel I need to chime in and also iterate my fondness for the mammary tissue known as “boobies”.
That is all. Oh and congrats Pinkbunny, make it count!
@marilove:
Ah, I forgot that oldie but goodie…I always heard it as anything more than a MOUTHFUL is a waste…… LOL
@Gabrielbrawley: Eeeh, engineered boobies are almost never awesome, unless it’s a REALLY good boob job.
I must say, Kelly Clarkson is pretty much the girl for me: Big butt, little boobies. Wee! Dream girl! LMAO.
@tiger kitty: I think I like this one beter! Bahahaha!
Also, is it just me, or does Gabriel turn all our conversations into BOOBIES?
I lost two kids in a car accident (a long time ago). By far those kinds of comments (though I’m sure are quite well meant) are the most frustrating. Who would want to condemn anyone, let alone someone they love dearly, to spend eternity as a child while we/they are adult? And if I live to be 100, do they think I will spend eternity as a doddering old fool, with babies I’m supposed to relate to for ever?
What kind of “perfection” is that? No thanks. Let them be.
@Fred Nurke: Sorry to hear that, Fred.
@25121642: Wow. What a dickish thing to say.
I didn’t get my license until I was 24. I didn’t get my care until last month, just after my 27th birthday.
Not everyone — including adults! — drives. I only got my license because my job at the time required that I did, and I only got a car because I got a new job that was quite a bit further away, and it just wasn’t reasonable to take public transportation anymore.
Quite frankly, I love Phoenix, but I hope to someday move somewhere that is friendlier in terms of public transportation. But not New York (toooo coooold).
@marilove: No I pretty much turn all conversations into boobies. I’m in a 12 step program right now. BLA but I can’t seem to get past step 1. Letting go.
@Gabrielbrawley: I have great boobies, just so you know. LOL
Stop teasing us!
Oh, and when I finally got my license, I actually paid a professional driving instructor like $300 to teach me, because I kept freaking out with my friends. It was much easier with a professional I didn’t know (he didn’t freak out, or yell, or make fun of me, and he actually knew how to teach someone how to drive). So I suggest that to anyone who is having problems learning to drive.
@marilove: You know there is an AI where you could provide a proof link. I’m sure you would get a lot of compliments. Compliments are always nice.
@Gabrielbrawley: http://www.myspace.com/crushdmb <–find the cleavage shot!
@marilove: When I get home, can’t acess myspace at work.
@Gabrielbrawley: That’s when i count my lucky stars i work at a place that things porn is SFW :D
@Outsider: things==thinks you nimrod!
@marilove:
It’s my personal fave, as I am, um, less endowed, shall we say!!!
@marilove:
Okay, I couldn’t find it. Dang it.
@marilove:
Okay, okay, okay, I trolled enough to find it. Awesome!!! LOL
@tiger kitty: Yay! Did you find the “Cake or Death?” t-shirt shot? The comments were “BOOBIES!” even though that was not my intention.
And now you know what me and my friends look like. Lmao.
Ooh, Google games.
“Barack Obama is…”
* the antichrist
* not black
* muslim
* a muslim
* irish
” the Jonas Brothers are…”
* christian
* jewish
* the new beatles
* better than the beatles
* fake
* dead
* virgins
@schismtracer: irish?
@marilove:
I saw both actually….LOL! There was much trolling. I like the Boobies one better. You look great!! :)
Big, small, they are all great.
I can’t get myspace at work either, so I have to fantasize.
@marilove: Man, you look great, I was always thrown for a loop when I saw your avatar, what or rather who is your avatar?
But yes, you are very pretty, boobs are nice too.
@marilove: They are beautiful. Thanks for sharing.@tiger kitty: The important thing about boobies isn’t whether they are big or small. The important thing is will you lit me kiss them?@skepticalhippie: Dude, that is Eddie Izzard, if you don’t know him look him up and get ready to laugh.
@Gabrielbrawley: “O’Bama.” Get it? I’m actually kind of ashamed that I did.
@marilove: You definitely DON’T want to move to Baltimore then. We have crap public transportation.
Also, I now have to reconcile your actual appearance with the fact that my mental picture of you looks like Eddie Izzard.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Absolutely, I am crazy like that. ;)
@marilove: Is it true that women with big boobs always find their missing earings?
@tiger kitty: Maybe we will meet at TAM 9. That is the one I’m shooting for. I’ll remember to. I love the boobies. BUt I guess everyone here knew that.
@tiger kitty: Oh shit, you are an adult aren’t you?
@Gabrielbrawley:
bwahahaha….yes…..and tell me what TAM 9 is.
@tiger kitty: TAM stands for “The Amazing Meeting” it is held in Las Vegas and is meeting of skepticts, atheists, scientists, mythbusters, rationalists, magicians etc. It is put on by “The Amazing Randi” aka James Randi. TAM 7 is in July. I’ve never been and don’t think I will be able to go until TAM 9. You can learn more over at randi.org.
I’m glad you are an adult. I would have felt really icky if you were a kid. Oh, I’m really old. I’m 37.
@marilove: Surely boobies are like the cola wars. You might state a preference when it comes to Coke vs. Pepsi, but almost everybody will take whatever’s available.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Thanks for the info on TAM….I will check it out. I have a couple years on you, dear, so watch out for us hot cougars. ;)
@Gabrielbrawley:
Hmmm… TAM 9 is not even scheduled….but a trip to London sounds fun.
@tiger kitty: @tiger kitty: Well, it is an annual event so I am hoping it will be in July 2011. I don’t even want to think how long it will be before I can schedule a trip to London. I don’t worry about older women, I love, women, just love them. Well except for my first wife. Not to fond of her.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Well, I am not *that* much older. This could be interesting. July 2011, huh?
@tiger kitty: One can only hope. How much older is not that much older? 65? 70?
@Gabrielbrawley:
Ha ha. I’m 41. Blonde, petite (hence the barely there ta ta’s). I’m all for hope. :)
@tiger kitty: You sound wonderfully sexy and you picked hobbes for an avatar so you are really, really cool. Search my name on face book and you can see me.
@tiger kitty: Oh, I’m fuking huge. I’m six foot, six inches tall and 260 lbs as of my VA check up a few days ago.
You two just gave me a wonderful idea! I just got the domain http://www.skeptisingles.com
@Outsider: Well, that didn’t lead anywhere.
Gimme some time! A singles site takes time.
@Outsider: I’m not single. But I think you have struck on an underserved market.
@Gabrielbrawley:
mmm…..I don’t do facebook, so alas, you will remain a mystery for now. You are super tall tho…I’m 5’3″!
@Outsider:
I think there needs to be a skepti-message board.
@tiger kitty: You should give it a shot, its free and kind of fun. I’m trying to make friends with everyone I see here on skepchick regularly. I’m starting to get “friends” all over the world. Its a kick.
I have a site all designed and will have some mockups online soon ;)
@Gabrielbrawley:
Nope. I think Facebook is evil. Evil, I tell you.
@Outsider:
A site for singles or skepti-message board?
Why not both?
@Outsider:
There should be both! But the message board should be for everyone, not just singles, kwim?
@tiger kitty: Really? Evil? Why?
Always looking for like-minded facebook buddies. Linky!
@Gabrielbrawley:
Well, I say that half tongue in cheek. Time suck is a big reason.
@Outsider:
and where’s the website? *taps foot impatiently* ;)
Iomehow I have made it 31 years without a license, and I even used to own a car, that I drove to pieces…
@Outsider: Just sent you a friend request.@tiger kitty: I can understand. As useful as the internet has turned out to be it apparetnly fuels itself with out wasted time.
Gabriel, got it and accepted.
@Gabrielbrawley: @Outsider:
Okay, now you guys are making me jealous with all your friending and emailing and fun naughty pictures. *pouts in corner*
tiger kitty, I’ll be your friend.
@daedalus2u:
Awww…..thanks! I’ll bookmark your blog! I sort of ostracized myself since I am not on Facebook, and refuse to join. But yet…..it’s so alluring! LOL
@tiger kitty: I’m sorry, I’d share any naught pictures I have but I don’t have any right now. When I gat back in shape I’ll snap a few. Right now, know one would want to see me naked. I look pretty good dressed but that is becuase I dress carefully.
@Gabrielbrawley: Oops, seems like drinking is causing me to mis-type some words.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Nothing like PUI. LOL You may yet force me to join Facebook to see these carefully dressed photos. I have no naughty photos. Nope. None.
@tiger kitty:PUI? I don’t know what that stands for. @tiger kitty: If you ever want to share those non existent naughty photos I am sure you would receive a shower of compliments.
@Gabrielbrawley:
PUI
Posting Under the Influence
LOL
@Gabrielbrawley:
Well, I should show off my ta ta’s, you know, just because Marilove showed off hers……
@tiger kitty: @tiger kitty: Oh, that makes sense and yes you should. I’m sure they are beautiful.
@Gabrielbrawley:
awww….. :)
@tiger kitty: Hey, where are you in the Real World? I’m in Texas, USA
@Gabrielbrawley:
I am in the Bay Area, California. :)
Doesn’t Texas want to secede? LOL
@tiger kitty: Oh, your kidding me. I was born in Walnut Creek and lived in Vaccaville until my parents moved me to Texas. I think our govenor is eyeballing the White House for 2012 and thinks this is the way to do it. He is only governor because we had a 4 way race and he was able to get about 40 percent of the vote. He is commonly thought of as to stupid to pour piss out of boot if the instructions were on the heal
@Gabrielbrawley:
No way! When did you move to TX? Yeah, your gov is an idiot…but then, so is Cali’s. :rolleyes:
@tiger kitty: Forever ago, 1981. I was 9, turned 10 a few months later so I don’t know California that well. What is sad is that the Governator seems to be more intelligent and capable than governor good hair.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Yeah, that was forever ago….I was um, coughcough, yeah… ;) I can’t stand Ah-nold. Jerk.
13?
@Gabrielbrawley:
14. LOL So ancient.
@Gabrielbrawley:
We’ve totally hijacked this post…we need a room! lol
@tiger kitty: Yep, we did and we do.
@Gabrielbrawley:
I have to get on Facebook, now, don’t I??? ;)
@tiger kitty: If you like. You can see pics of me and the family. I like it for the feeling of community, knowing I’m not the only atheist in the world.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Yes, but are they naughty pictures? See, it has to be worth my while. You aren’t the only atheist, all the cool, smart people are doing it. Altho in TX, I can see how you might feel that way.
@tiger kitty: Just dooooo it! Come to the dark side of the web. All the cool kids are doing it.
At least on Facebook I can have a profile picture! Come on!!!!
@tiger kitty: Sorry, It seems that naught pictures aren’t allowed on the facebook. I don’t have any of me right now anyway. I used to have some but I lost them. I even had some naughty video but I lost them between my last marriage and my current one. Right now I am much too ashamed of my body to make any new ones. I’m working on it and I’m going to apply for the skepdud’s calender once I look good naked again.
@Outsider:
Yes, you do deserve a profile picture! But I don’t want to be on the Dark Side. I want to use my powers for good.
See, we need a message board to post pictures on. Weren’t you working on that? ;)
@Gabrielbrawley:
And see, what is the point of FB if you can’t have the ta ta picture?
There’s a skepdud’s calendar? What about a skepchick? I totally am photo ready for that.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Oh, and I bet you are not that bad. Besides, I like brains on my men….that is way sexier.
@tiger kitty: Yep, Skepchick calander’s came first. Just look for the hyperlink at the top of the page. I’m sure they would love to have another modle.
@tiger kitty: I really want to get into shape and then I want a photo on the calender. I was hoping for an atheist in a foxhole type photo but was told someone already beat me to it. So maybe some type of skeptical accountant photo.
@marilove: Well, after reading the whole thread, I only have one thing to say.
There is no such thing as ‘to much’ when it comes to boobies. Anyone who says otherwise either needs bigger hands or needs to learn how to open his/her mouth wider. ;)
That said… there is no such thing as to small either.
What can I say. I just like boobies.
@Gabrielbrawley:
Boo! I missed the deadline!
@MoltenHotMagma:
I thought of Homer Simpson with your last line…
I just like boobies….mmmmm….:drool:
LMAO
@tiger kitty: Heh, I have a bunch of projects to work on but you have just inspired me to register a domain I’ve been looking at. Toodles! I’ll show a sneak peek soon.
Ok, so I can’t believe the domain was still available but I think it’s pretty good.
Skeptalk
@Outsider:
OMG! GMTA!! Your domain is awesome!!!
I went to a free message board and just got a board because I can be very impatient.
http://skeptitalk.proboards.com/
It’s bare bones right now, but everyone can register and post!
@tiger kitty: Just registered.
@Gabrielbrawley:
oh goody!
@Outsider: Nice avatar, did that come from the discovery institue website?
