Okay, homework done. I think I'm pretty much of the opinion that you don't need to make even the funniest rape joke at the expense of a stranger who paid money to see you. And you can remove a lot of qualifiers from that sentence and still...you don't need to make the joke yet.
I've really got to learn to just do the damage and get out of town. It's the 'stay and gloat' that gets me every time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Argh, people are annoying.
I'm trying to send a set of drawings to someone, and the only file-share service I can use is one run by the DOD, and the email notice keeps getting spamfiltered. Or the woman is too unfamiliar with the idea to understand what she needs to do...

My summer place in Canada has trees that are exactly the right height (in the woods), a big sky (over the lake), and most importantly water. Being there recharges my soul in a way I can't adequately describe.
ita, if you must know, Daniel Tosh's rape joke.

I racked my brains trying to think of an actual funny rape joke last night (FB made me do it!) and the only one I could come up with was the old SNL Jeopardy skit (Alex, I'll take "the rapists" for $500.) And even that's not really a rape joke, just a joke with the word "rapists" in it.

"Faded like the lilac, he thought."
Yup, I miss Ohio in exactly that same way, Kat, and I also don't really think I want to go back there, but I miss it.
I need to get my papers in order because I have to go be brown in Arizona. I have to get everything again, because my long-expired passport, the only document I have proving citizenship, is in my maiden name. So I need birth, marriage, passport, everything. My drivers license, which is good until I turn 65, doesn't even prove residency, let alone citizenship.

I'm operating under the assumption that I might have heard Louis CK make a funny rape joke--or maybe I heard someone say Louis CK shouldn't have made that rape joke.
I don't remember.
My sister did send me a George Carlin rape joke to prove her "free speech" point, but my point is "why be a shitstain?" So, you know. There's that. Also, I can't listen to youtube at work, so I don't know what the joke is.
On a completely different note, in my experience, the pervert villain is usually female: [link]

Ridiculous question: has anyone seen the August issue of Vanity Fair (the one with the MSFT article) on newsstands anywhere? Yes, I want to read that. The excerpt on the site talks about Reader, which was my first job there.

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
so Tosh (a few months back) encouraged male members of his audience to tape themselves touching (assaulting?) women - he did this as part of his act.
And of course members of the audience did and these videos I guess are hosted on Comedy Central?

le n, the second video you linked is a nice palate cleanser after the first (not that I can watch either of them from my office).

The FUCK?!?!?!
Gah, I feel dirty just having accidentally watched a few seconds of his show before TDS starts.
