What unusual customs do other countries observe?

Just a point of clarification......

Would it be okay if I only challenged good-looking, nubile, callipygian young women on Royal Oak Day? Or do I have to challenge all non-oak-sprig wearers, regardless of how I judge the pinchableness[sup]*[/sup] of their respective bums?




[sup]*[/sup] If "pinchableness" is not a word, it needs to be.

To be seen as unbiased ALL non-oak-sprig wearers must be challenged ... sorry.

... and I think pinchability more easily rolls off the tongue.
Google returned 1 hit with "pinchableness", while "pinchability" had 315.

[Cheers]

 

[sleipnir214]

Suppose I don't care whether I'm seen as unbiased....

How 'bout then?

Happy Pinch-Bum Day" would immediately be followed with "Happy you're-fired-for-sexual-harassment" day.

<LOL>

Then you risk being "made an example of" by the PC mutts watchdogs, being publicly flogged, then sent to the Tower ... never to be seen again.

(weighing to options in hands) So it's either pinch Mrs. Steinbrenner's bum or get flogged. Get flogged or pinch Mrs. Steinbrenners's bum.

How long can I take to think about it?

Till midnight, then May Day is over & you will have to wait another year. To help you make the right decision, remember it could be Mrs. Steinbrenner who gets to do the flogging ... and it could be her who gets to "look after you" in the Tower.

If I May (2006),

The City of Raliegh was named after Sir Walter Raleigh, since naming it before him would have seemed foolish.

Our fair town's motto/tagline is "the City of Oaks."

On New Year's Eve, we celebrate by dropping a giant Acorn.

BTW - a while back, in a locale referendum, we voted for
"crabgrass" instead of "grab ass" (or "pinch bum, or whatever it's called.)

I still think we're a "City of Folks."

Didn't some college kids get in trouble recently for pinching a bum?

 

[IknowMe]

Sleip,
Would you say "pinchableness" is defined by the quantity of the bum or its aesthetics?

Cor,
Im still undecided as to whether "pinchability" is in reference to the bum (pinchee if you will) or the strength in the hands of the pincher.



Wow, I'm having amnesia and deja vu at the same time.
I think I've forgotten this before.

 

[sleipnir214]

Pinchableness" is definately a qualitative term, not quantitative.

[blue]"Pinch-ableness" and "Pinchable-ness" are two decidedly different concepts.[/blue]

BTW: 'ho-beaux's and pimps are the same thing, whereas, ironically, 'ho-Boze make you pay for the music box.

er, Bill

Does "Pinch Bum" day happen to coincide with this Friday, Internation No Pants Day?

 

[sleipnir214]

That would be unsportsmanly too easy, wouldn't it? Kind of like shooting ducks as they sit on their nests?

"No Pants Day?" Has Raleigh such folly, Dollie?

I assumed it was just in the "NetherLands" (then someone said "Nor Way" dude!) Sorry, I thought it was a "Scanty Navian" thing.

Also, is it only for a Day? That seems rather [blue]brief[/blue] to me.

Would you say "pinchableness" is defined by the quantity of the bum or its aesthetics?

Not to be cheeky, but perhaps you meant "assthetics." (Sorry, just trying to crack a joke! Ironically, this could be considered holesome and unwholesome at the same time).

I'm simply amazed! All in one posting we have:

A three-part rhyme,

A three-part wordplay on scandinavian countries,

A SIX-part wordplay on rear-ends!

That's pretty amazing even for Tim. I am humbled by such "assive-agressive" (thanks to Craig Ferguson, who just said that on TV) greatness.

After looking around at my co-workers, friends, and fellow Raleigh-uh... what are the inhabitants of Raleigh called? Raleighians? Raleighites? Raleighspawn? Lacross players?

Anyway... I decided that perhaps International No Pants Day should be observed. At home. There are some people who should be required to leave their pants on at all times.

(Aren't "pants" actually underwear in England? How would they celebrate there?)

That said, we have less than a month to get our oak leaves and nettles ready....

 

[snuv]

Yup, pants are underwear in the UK

I was a bit confused by the entire thread until Dollie's post

All becomes crystal clear apart from the oak leaves thing. Wouldn't fig leaves be more appropriate?
