Earring Wank!
I was going to hold off for a week or so... but this is just too weird.

Yesterday's girlfriend wank has since turned into a discussion of cloning, which is something of an improvement - they're actually joking instead of wanking (I hope they're joking). However, wank can never be created or destroyed, it merely changes form. So instead of six pages of girlfriend wank, today we have six pages of earring wank... and it's not even a real earring.

It went something like this:

ArleneP: Now that Josh is all grown up, I'd kind of like to see how he'd look with just a little discreet earring, maybe a tiny hoop or a diamond or gold stud.
I think it would look ravishing!

Rest of Messageboard:

littledink: No, Josh should NOT get an earring or a tattoo or anything else that speaks to the "culture" of today or what so many people think is cool or the IN thing to do. Josh has stated that he HATES his ears and so suggesting that he get an earring to show off "said" ears doesn't make sense. Now, if Josh wants to get an earring, tattoo, belly ring (LOL) or anything else, then that's great. But I would hope that he doesn't give into any pressure of trying to be like everybody else, cause he "ain't" never going to be like anyone else we've ever heard or seen before. And that's part of the national treasure that's Josh Groban.

grobanite227: Absolutely no piercing for our Josh!! I just don't believe that would be Josh's style anyway!

mandy1979: Hehe... no... I personally do not like guys with earrings... *cringes* ..there are some guys who can pull it off, but I think Josh is not one of them, lol.

jgrulestheworld: NO...........NO...........NO!!!!! There.........I think I've said how I feel!!!! Josh is beautiful just as he is. Unlike a LOT of other men, he needs absolutely NO adornments of ANY kind!!!! Whew.............all that shouting has left me quite hoarse!!

indaymen2: No! Please! That is so uncivilized for a guy esp. our Classy Josh! (no offense to those who have one) .He doesn't show his ears anyway! he thinks it's too big that's why he grows his hair over it. ( saw it in one of his interviews a while back.) I hope he won't do it. That's all up to him tho'.

JoshGrobangal1401: um....NO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! NO earring!!!

IdahoGrobanite: NO NEVER NO WAY (with three 'shocked' emoticons on each side!)

Mroof227: no way!! couldnt imagine our josh with a piercing!!! no...josh is just fine how he is...Sir Thudly!

Sissel: Nonono....I have NEVER liked earrings on men!

NCGrobanFan: NO

joshfree: No!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!!!!!!!!!!!!! JOSH DOESN'T NEED THAT.

Surfergirl1300: there is no reason for Josh to dement his body- he looks perfectly fine just the ways he is and if no one like that then then can go....... elsewhere.

profa24: NO EARRINGS OR NIPPLE RINGS OR BELLY BUTTON RINGS OR ANY OTHER KIND OF RING! PLEASE! Josh is perfect the way he is.

CapeCodJune: Good Lord, NO!!! That,s NO!!!!!

DJPhantomPhan: That would look awful.

Gloworm: JOSH WITH AN EARRING?? NO - NO - ONE THOUSAND TIMES NO!!!!!!

trumpetgurl: no earing plz!! I think it makes him "above" today's culture w/out all the tatoos and piercings! he looks sophisticated, yet sexy!

Here we briefly lapse into some semblance of sanity and amusing banter...

rainbowillusion: But ... if Josh wanted it, would it still be bad? I trust that he knows himself well enough to know what he wants, and though I can't see him getting an earring (taking his ear-phobia into account), if he decided to get one, I wouldn't hold it against him.

boltguy: You wouldn't ??..I thought most of the ladies here would hold what ever they could against him......

And then...

missionmom7: NO WAY! DON'T MESS WITH PERFECTION

boltguy now attempts to end the thread, being conscious of the fact that devoting five pages of posts to this is... well, absurd.

boltguy: enough said,,,the Mom of missions has spoken..where can we go from here??????!!!

The hint remains swinging on its hook, and the wank goes on.

CardinsMusic: EWWWWWWWWW...... NO. No, no, no. If Josh wanted it, Brian or David would most likely talk him out of it. Josh is beautiful the way he is!!

spudqueen: [enters] Noony Noony Noony Noony....[typing ] N [typing] O [sounds out word] NNNN OHHH NN O NNOH NO! [exits] ....Noony Noony Noony Noony

specialjenny: NO!!! Josh is good the way he is, no jewellry please, a watch is okay, and of course his marriage ring...but no earring thanks

Dadamsmom: No EAR ring No WEDDING ring...yet (wait at least ten years) No metallic adornment whatsoever, He is so 'magnetic' as he is, the jewelry will only get in the way. [in the way of what you ask? Singing! ]. Plus it usually makes a noise of its own. Personally, I like that he doesn't wear jewelry of any kind. It distracts from his fine appearance. Putting jewelry on Josh is like putting 'Redi-wip' on a wedding cake.

With all this passion over the idea of an earring, I'd hate to see them reacting to a real one.
