2:58p - Catholic wank - no Gibson, no gay marriage.
This gem is small, and rather old, but it's like a wank haiku - a short, restrained, elegant example of the species.
From time to time I nose about a forum for Christian (mainly Catholic) sf/fantasy writers. You get a lot of discussion of how great Tolkien is, and how awful Harry Potter is, but whatever. Most of the posters are pretty well-educated, and literate, and think things through.... although in their own particular paradigm, where the enlightenment is the "endarkenment" and so forth.
Sometimes, though, something really pushes their buttons.
Special points of interest include:
1. Referring to the Virgin Mary as though she were a close personal friend of the OP.
2. Construing a simple action that would appear totally innocuous to most of the modern world as a personal insult.
3. Praying 'at' people instead of 'with' them.

8:14p - [First Post] Dictionary WOTD Wank
Wow. Wank is everywhere. I was somewhat surprised to find this little gem lurking in the dictionary.com Word of the Day syndication.

This is my first post here, so hopefully I haven't mucked it up too badly.

8:53p - heh, I was waiting for this to happen. Cel wank. sorta
Baka Neko Fancels had a fan art contest and recently announced the winners. Fancels.org(who I posted about here doesn't take well to her placing in the three winners " Yeah... viewing it again now reveiled to me that it actually sucks" Not much wank there but it's only the warm up.
Here is where where things explode. When Fancels.org announced her "Final Update" bemoaning her lack of artistic ability and contemplates taking her fancels down. SOme people try to complement and encourage her; and cheer her up, but she responds, oddly enough, with anger and insults. I can't say i ever understood her logic process.
Edited to fix some links.
