Mock. Mockmockmock. Mockity-mock-mock

2:07pm: "Gay": Nothing derails a thread faster!
Over on RPG.net, someone makes an unassuming post about ( recent gamer-bashing on Dateline and Queer Eye. )

Gamer tells other gamers, "Hey, gamers are mocked in the media!" Preaching, choir, etc. Not much wank-potential here. Until we remember that any mention of homosexuality in a forum not intended for such discussion will lead to gay!wank of hilarious proportions -- proportions, in fact, that are, more often than not, inverse to the relevance of the initial mention of homosexuality.

And really, what better place for gay!wank than a messageboard predominately visited by men without girlfriends?*

The fun starts in the second reply: "I love it that it's okay for them to make fun of 'nerds,' but as soon as anyone says anything mildly humorous about them being gay, that person is automatically branded a 'bigot.' I say screw the double standard. If you dish it out, don't whine when you get hit with it, too. And that's all I have to say about that."

( The rest of the wankers, however, have a lot more to say. (Not that there's anything wrong with that.) )

*I can say this, because I totally have friends who are gamers. Also, I am on my period right now, have several personality disorders, and am just a bitch in general.

ETA: Awwww, it's so CUTE when wankers are confused! Maybe we should add a "So You've Been Wanked" section to the userinfo to clarify things ...

9:49pm: Project Runway Wank
Over at the LJ community projectrunway3, community member nakedfotolady does not like how some fellow members have been insulting show contestant Angela by "calling angela a skank ho...or asking who she is blowing".

10:47pm: Christ on a Cracker...
...a really nice cracker. With perhaps some herbed chèvre or a little olive tapenade. With a crisp Pinot Grigio on the side.

Ahem.

When religion meets cooking, the result is wank. A small wank, mind you; it's more in the manner of tasty snack than a full meal. OK, I'll stop with the foodisms.

Seems that Alton Brown, beloved by both foodies and geeks for his show Good Eats, wrote a column for the Christian magazine Guideposts.

So far so good; the article is about how he sees the path to his success as a spiritual journey and there's a lot in there about hospitality and coincidence. His only mention of Christ and Christianity is when he talks about food and the Last Supper.

So, where's the wank?

Over on the LJ comm good_eats where lordfeldo complains that "someone got Jesus in my Alton Brown" and goes on to say "What happened to being a god of dorks? of scientists? WHAT HAPPENED!?"

Apparently the post was a lot more anti-Christian in its first incarnation--it's been edited twice now--but there's still some nice wank in the comments, where people claim you can't be scientific and religious or even spiritual at the same time and other people don't see the big deal.

Me? I'm just thinking about how a conversation between Alton and Jesus would go. I'd get cable for that show.
