I know you think you are being cute, but you are merely being obtuse and offensive at this point.

I think if we're going to take umbrage at this, we need to also call people on "Grammar Nazi (from which, I believe, dAN derived the joke)."
That said, Syl's not feeling the love.
"It is not the literal past that rules us, save, possibly, in a biological sense. It is images of the past. Each new historical era mirrors itself in the picture and active mythology of its past or of a past borrowed from other cultures. It tests its sense of identity, of regress or new achievement against that past.”

I've called people on the expression "grammar Nazi" as well, Syl.

I defended Ms Mary on this because dAN was completely disregarding her feelings. She had already expressed an issue and instead of considering her feelings he belittled them. That's what I was objecting to.
Now if I could just find a way to wear live bees as jewelry all the time.....

perhaps could have been stated better as well. I would think:
"I know you think this is funny, but it really bothers me ... I'd appreciate it if we avoided such comments." might have been gentler.
We ALL perhaps could have more sensitive to each other?

I really dont understand how people can get offended by jokes, i mean, seriously, someone found it funny ( aka me ), mabye its just me but i dont see how its causing offence to anyone - alive or dead.
But if you're all about the destination, then take a fucking flight.
We're going nowhere slowly, but we're seeing all the sights.
And we're definitely going to hell, but we'll have all the best stories to tell.
Ron Jeremy is a famous yet hideously ugly prOn star. He currently has appeared on several celebrity reality shows. He was known for being...ahem...particularly large of....limb, yes large of limb.
