Not forbidden, just strange. Saw a guy one who had 3in long nipples. Gave me the chills.

Three inches? Well, maybe it was just very cold.

Nope his were like that all the time. Maybe he was breastfeeding?

Heat reactive. Like the coffee mugs that drug makers send to doctors.

Meatloaf “would do anything for love” but follow the covid-19 precautions, he’s quoted as saying “if I die, I die” then he caught the covid and did just that. smh

RIP Meatloaf

This is the laugh out loud I didn't know I needed today! I think this shirt may even fit over my tits but know if I'll pass for the testicular cancer group unless I let my beard grow in!

I’m glad you reported Meatloaf’s real name (I’m assuming). First time I’ve seen it. Whattayou call it-establishing authority? Love it. Also the comment about a man’s nipples.

I've never understood the US fear of nipples alongside the comfort with extreme violence.

That was a long time ago. After the Puritans left the UK, we pretty much decided 'that was all a bad idea' within a couple of decades. The US seems to have stuck with it for a few centuries. Culture is eternally fascinating/horrifying.

I've read some things about how cultures that are transplanted stick around longer than where they originated. Such as the old honor culture of gaelic shepherds still being a big part of the American south. Well, the rural parts at least.

That's fascinating. Can you post a link? I've long been fascinated by the transplanted Germans in the jungles of South America. Nietzsche's sister endorsed the effort to found an Aryan nation that quickly became cut off and inbred. Those outpost cultures that become time capsules, wow.

My experience of growing up by two sets of projects in the city, as well as in a rural trailer park, leads me to believe that Thomas is correct.

There are a few books about the southern honor culture being leftover from Scots/Irish shepherds, but I can't seem to find the one that I'd heard of previously. https://www.goodreads.com/en/book/show/226635

Damn, thank you! This is fascinating. Captivating as hell. My guess is that readers love these "pocket" cultures, typified by 'The Children of the Corn,' where local customs seem extreme to an outsider. See also 'The Lottery.'

In regard to rednecks, I had dinner once with the actor Alfred Molina, and he told me about an acting class he taught. One student, a young man with a thick 'hillbilly' drawl, read Shakespeare, and Molina said it was a revelation. He said that redneck accent was as close to true Elizabethan speech as he, Molina, had ever heard. That Shakespeare was meant to be performed with such a down-home drawl.

Yesterday, a CBS reporter told me about happening across a splinter Mormon community in very rural Montana. Polygamist and everything. So, yes, these people and places still exist, and they're not exposed to the internet.

Meatloaf once came through a small convention out where I used to live, and I was the only person in line for his booth, so I got to spend a good while talking to him. He said the chest was made of flax seed and they had to keep an open chair close to the set so he could sit down throughout filming because of how heavy it was. He said he had a lot of empathy for large chested women after the experience

Are you excited for Thanksgiving, Chuck? I hear the turkeys have larger nipples this year. Don't throw those bits out, save them for Grandma.

Actually, now that Disney bought Fox, Disney gets your merch money.

Do you remember how much mileage Mark Wahlberg got out of his third nipple? It seems that Harry Styles can nurse an entire litter of puppies.

Ha!! I forgot about that. I may use that in my MATCH.COM profile. “I may have a third nipple”. That’ll be a head turner!

Harry should consider keeping his shirt on or see someone about toning that adolescent body up.
