I know what will settle this. It's a mixture of what everyone else has suggested so far. We'll take the 3-4 margaritas(per guy), adminstered by BvB...then we'll take the cake that Whipped Guy had earlier...we're smearing it on all of us...and having a four way nude/cake covered grudge match, with Boston Bill as the ref, since he's in the middle here!

 

You're right! Negativity over, PARTY ON GARTH...PARTY ON WAYNE. (I'd insert a meme of this if I knew how...perhaps BvB can show me.)

 

Sounds good to me, Tristan. Love a good cake orgy. . Kinky fun at it's best.

What was the era before Pleistocene? Because I think that was when I was in high school and showering after ever gym class. I'm really pretty sure it was the norm back in the day. I think the girls showered after PE too, but that they had more privacy -- not a big, open, tiled room with 20-or-so shower heads.

 

And despite what you have heard, QTR -- you, with that aversion to nude swimming! -- I promise you it was not exactly a horror. For some of us, it was actually kind of ... clarifying. I could get into specifics about the cocks and asses I remember to this day ...

When I took high school PE back in the Pleistocene era, girls didn't shower in gym class. Nor (as far as I could tell) did the boys. For one thing, there just wasn't time. So I've always viewed horror stories (or otherwise) about gym showers as apocryphal. But maybe it was just where I was from.

 

In high school, we showered. One year, when the Fieldhouse was undergoing renovation, we would run, in Tank Tops and short-shorts, to the unseated Stadium across the street, with the fields of five-head shower stalks, thence the block run back to the High School proper. In Chicagoland. In the winter.

 

And for two years, swimming was nude.

A classmate at Jale wrote a senior thesis on the notion that Proust structured his (encyclopedically long) parentheticals in A la Recherche du Temps Perdu so that the reader's descent from the main text into a parenthetical would operate as a mimesis of (thus reflexive comment on) the reader's overall descent from the external world into the world of Proust's text.

 

(So parentheticals have ever since been near & dear to mine heart.)

 

(That classmate was in fact one Andrew Paulson, striving at the moment to make himself impresario of the World Chess Championship among diverse other mad schemes.)

 

(He was a bottom. [usually. ] )

 

(A good one! )

 

 

I did fairly well on my SAT verbal section plus had two years of Latin to boot. But I'm not sure I had ever heard/seen the word mimesis before. If I have to know terms like that, I think Proust may be way beyond me. So back to my...

In checking out mimesis, I was referred to mimeograph. Now there is a term that will not stand the test of time but i will try to use mimesis in the future. Mimic probably comes for the same root.

[AdamSmith]

Hearing it back, the word mimesis sounds like something that comes out of the ground every 17 years to plague us.

Our ancient jr high and high school gyms had showers but thank God they didn't make us use the disgusting things...

This reminds me of the "Sanistand" that they installed in the dorms in college so as to make the bathrooms ready for future use by either sex. A new "American Standard"!

I don't know about anyone else. But I'd be afraid of falling into the Sanistand. How does this make a bathroom ready for either sex?

Now with cake its a dovish mimesis?

The PP (Pre-Pleistocene) Era of course.

 

We had a discussion on high school showers a few months back.

The theory was that both men and women could use it as a urinal. The dorm I was in my sophomore year in college had been newly built and we were the first inhabitants. There were two towers, one each for male and female. All the bathrooms were identically equipped. They had both stalls and Sanistands. To us guys it just looked like a fancy type of urinal. The gals were not overly thrilled about the concept. In a nutshell the Sanistand was intended for "number 1" and not "number 2" in case there was a misconception.

Mr. Smith cites "mimesis" in referene to Proust and Tristan mentions "meme" in reference to Garth and Wayne.

 

Both deal with repetition, could this indicate a certain divide among different generations? Just a thought! Certainly not intellect as both are bright, clever, and astute individuals.

This thread has become Exactly the same as the chatter that I'd have with my siblings while in the back of the stationwagon during a long, cross-country drive. The chatter wandered without direction and theme with occasional silence while we napped and then some fighting took over for a while when one sibling decided to give another a little kick in the leg.

Oh...so wrong gentlemen. I'm a good *southern girl, born and raised. I come from good stock, and I was always taught to be pursued. I need to be wined and dined. A lady of my upbringing, would never ever be a "tapper"....

I'm afraid I'm not familiar with this institute of higher learning. Is it anywhere near Jarvard?

It looks an awful lot like a bidet. I'm going to have to admit to y'all but I'm not sure I've ever really seen a female urinate before. But my understanding is they need to sit. There doesn't really seem to be anyplace for them to sit on this sanistand. Are they supposed to stand over it?

I think of a meme as more of a catchphrase or a visual picture equivalent of catchphrase.
