I have a dream that one day, men (and women) will not be judged by the size of their cans, but the content of their character.

Also, self-validation is infinitely more powerful then that which you get from an arbitrary and capricious system whereby people can give and take cans for whatever reason they want.

You know, I share a lot of AD's concerns about the whole tiny can thing.  I've gotten a little better with it, but I'm still ambivalent.

Here's what I like about it:  I can reward people who are funny or otherwise post well in a tangible (sort of) way.

Here's what I don't like:  It turns into a fuck*ng competition and people are inclined to measure their self-worth by their cans.  It's also distracting -- every post we spend talking about the stupid cans is one post we aren't talking about talking cats, alive stuffed animals, giraffe placentas or cooking poultry with ball bearings.  Can talk is essentially navel-gazing internal politics and that's just boring.

I don't take cans away and I'm as generous as I remember to be.

I will never stop judging people by the size of their cans - I told you people my favorite word is callipygian.

I love me some cans.

See, Nabu it was for you almost specifically that I edited myself from 'number' of cans to 'size' of cans.

I use cans as an internal reference for both the boobies and the backyard, so I share your sentiment in "I loves me some cans".

my favorite word is callipygian.

Seconded.  I learned that word here at TOUAMB, but I don't think it was from you Nan, if I recall it was Bobby that used the term, probably around the time that Ray was wanting to have a lady sit in a cake.

Ah yes, Here it is.

Anyway, after I took this picture I told the young lady "I really like your callipygian form" which I think went right over her head.  But she's a teacher so she looked it up and now she embraces the word as I have thanks to TOUAMB.  But seriously, that's a sweet caboose.

While the usage is apropos, I think the first incidence in relation to Ray was from O-Man himself.

Also, strangely here, which has a referrence to Onanism, WHICH Waterbury stated Ray had a tendancy to do in his sleep.

It is an odd coincidence.

So it's satire, is it?  Well that changes everything!

Well, I remember mentioning it in a favorite word thread here, not too long after I started dating (in a more-or-less serious way) my wife, and that was '02 - so it couldn't have been too long after the board kicked off.

Oh Nabu, though I never even talked to you (much), it's good to have you back.

TOMORROW!

Also, maybe Bobby was out of commission for a while due to first-degree ball bearning burns?  Just guessing, really.
