"The Shocker"? WTF?

I've heard that referred to as the Croat Gun - with the added detail that the thumb is used to "cock the gun", so to speak..

But maybe that's a European thing..

[Golfhaus]

Ahhh. I'd heard several of those other sayings (usually on t-shirts) just not called The Shocker. Besides, isn't that the Version 1 handsign?

The V1 handsign has the index and middle fingers apart, not together.

Also: The V1 is in the air, not crammed halfway up a woman's particulars.

Nerdy continental philosophy jokes are almost guraranteed to be a success with me.  I'm studying Fouc*ult in two of my four classes this semester.

Hang the DJ.

I work with a morning DJ and he does, in fact, tell stories about The Shocker (two in the pink, one in the stink!).  We don't use slide whistle sound effects, however.

As I read today's cartoon about talking cats, I thought the DJ was referring to the usual f-bomb but Pat, being the UPTIGHT PRICK that he is, assumed that the DJ was talking about Fouc*ult because Pat is oblivious to Rod's sarcasm and chooses instead to think that he and Rod in the Morning are kindered souls.  Pat would love to have Rod's job (if you know what I mean) so he could belittle barbers on the radio without having to go through the HUMILIATION of being put on hold by SIMPLETON CALL SCREENERS.

Andalucia, could you please be more careful about dropping the "F-bomb" (we called it the F-word back in my day)?  

Some of us are offended by strong language! (Like this guy in Oklahoma or Texas who tried to get his town to pass a law requiring people to say "heaven-o" instead of "hell-o" because hell is a bad word. I'm not fuck*ng kidding - I swear I remember this happening back in like 1994 or something.)

Please, it's only a matter of time before hello is replaced by "what up mother fucks?"

Just as long as the salutations of the future don't blaspheme the Lord or summon the devil, all will be bitchin swell.

A funny story about the Shocker

"The yearbook is designed as a documentary, memorial or historical book," she said. "No person or persons" should be permitted to remove photographs; it was tantamount, she said, to removing mentions of slavery from history books because "it makes America look bad."

FREEDOM!

[antioch]

So, this confirms that Pat loves ball-less pop/rock. What's next, Coldplay? Man I want to see this dude in a room with Lyle or T on Friday night at Ray's.  

 Sorry about "ball-less." It fit here, even though it should probably be phased out of the rock lexicon. Also sorry to those who like U2, but you have to admit that "Hola" or "Hello" or whatever (the song where he counts 1..2..3..14!!) is the most rehashed piece of bill paying eva.

edit to be less of a jerk: I think Pat would like Coldplay because they are soft music with a regular beat. I think he would read crazy stuff into songs (like, "Yellow" is actually about third world poverty and disease).

I liked this strip, but it struck me as all wrong.  I cannot believe Pat would participate in a talk-show that used a sliding whistle for a sound effect.

He would be absolutely certain that they were mocking him, and he would write at length in his blog about how he had to switch stations until he found one where the host just droned on in a buzzing monotone and lilstened with rapt attention as Pat yelled and screamed.

PS:  Don't worry, Board, I'm not going to Pat on this subject.

Oh, you people!  The Shocker?  I love how quickly and openly everyone here talks about these things.  

When it comes to AD's link to Rotten, I saw this article a couple years ago, but seeing it again, it just reminded me how ignorant teenagers can be when they try to look adult and "worldly" - I can kind of understand why the boys are using this jesture, but the girls?  In what appears to be their prom dresses?  With, you know, arbitrary numbers of fingers up?  Do they seriously have a clue?  Did they really think like this? "Gee I'm all pretty in my prom dress, and hey look here comes the yearbook guy - if he's gonna take my picture I want the world to know I'm pretty and I like a finger up my ass."  It's like the whole rainbow party issue.  Kids love to exaggerate and/or repeat things that they've heard refuted or not, and adults are so scared that they're out of touch that they'll take things way too seriously.  In both cases, most of the kids don't know the true/full implications of what they are talking about, joking about, etc.

I read a somewhat interesting book called "Fast Girls" by Emily White, about the slut architype, and in it she tracks down highschool sluts, and checks out the "whole team" urban legend - you know, the one where the story goes that your local teen ho in one night sucked off/fucked the entire soccer, football, hockey, whatever team.  Inspite of several attempts and some open and honest talk with sluts, the boys who have sex with them, and other teens, she was unable to prove this story.  Yet, she was able to find this story being told in nearly every school she checked with in regard to each school's slut or sluts.   I heard the "whole team" rumour about my highschools slut - only it was all the guys on a band trip.
