“Is it me? Or does the fact that clock hands look like predatory rotating penises stalking a set of mostly curvaceous and feminized numerals reinforce an idea of sexuality that marks us as only slightly more socially advanced in our purported ‘tolerances’ than, say, the Taliban…?”

Get a digital clock and free yourself from this torment.
Thank you for the water through the nose treatment Goldstein.
That’s a keeper.

Is it the same with Roman Numerals?
Well with Roman numerals, the scope of sexual possibilities is greatly expanded of course, in which case the fact that one pallus is longer than the other is perfectly in keeping with the general theme of “mean time”. Brings too mind the probability that the ubiquitous “tic” is actually a thinly disguised “thrust….thrust….thrust”.
Great,
Now I have to deal with thrusting numbers. Getting kind of wierd……
What next?
Pelvic anomolies?
Not to mention Roman numerals were outed by Petronious almost 2000 years ago.
George Bush hates clocks.

I’d have to say it’s only you.
(By the way is the clock battery powered, or plugge into the wall, because it definitely matters if it’s AC or DC.)
I won’t know what to think about this post until Coom— er, Comma— um, Comatose comes in and tells me whether or not it’s boring.
Non-analog (non-phallus based clocks), would necessarily be feminine. Digits only. That’s supported by a significant warehouse of research data that shows wimmins are much more accurate in time keeping, “hands down”. Additionally, Digitals tend to really scream when they go off.
Is that why I get hard when I look at my Rolex?
TW:into I would like the big hand stuck……….nevermind
Still, we’ve really progressed since the sundial.
Or have we just mechanized?
…more socially advanced than the Taliban…not according to some morally superior comments in previous posts…who’ve chosen to side with the Islamist head choppers…because Chipmy W. McHitlerburton has shredded the Constitution…as he doesn’t allow unelected judges to monitor the Article II authority of the CINC…won’t extend Geneva Convention protections to unlawful combatants captured on foreign battlefields…and doesn’t seek warrants to conduct lawful and reasonable monitoring of international signals…
What was the question about the curvaceous and feminized stuff…
t/w: parts? Was it curvaceous and feminized parts?
Hey, we got a promotion !
Leave the pelvic anomalies out of it. You don’t even want to go near that subject…
ps: No one made me write this post.
Well, that and those danged laundry baskets that Amanda from Pandagon loves/hates so much.
I don’t know about that, I heard that the ladies really like a Roman Gnomon.
Oh, great, now you’re a clock-slapping faggot…
– Besides the fact that many of the Roman “styles” glow in the dark, which can make for some interesting pelvic anomolies….
(Oye’ my aching temporals….)
TW: This thread is getting pentamically moronic already. Gotta love it. Speaking “truthiness to sss-tic-i-ness”…
Oh my god…too funny. Scrutator’s imploding…all the posters over there are having a huge scrap.
tic….TOC…..tic…..TOC…..
– Definately a clock that swings both ways….
TW: That mantle lurker really gets around.
You know, “The MOVEMENT speaks” would have made a fine title for this post too….
Yes. Now get back to telling me the time.
[This bit of temporal oppression brought to you by letter “t” and the number “12″].
Quiet, you!

Um, Jeff? That wasn’t your only clock, was it?
Speaking of clock-slapping, Lo Ping has resurfaced. I wonder if this is the apology Jeff got?

I think I know how Bluto felt in “Animal House”
For some reason comment posting is very slow. My preceding comment was made also in the Lo Ping tread, but I thought it didn’t take. Did not intend to double comment in two threads. Apologies.
“What have the Romans ever done for us?”
Sometimes clock hands are just clock hands – CHRONOPHOBE!
per the dry drunk crap Andrew was dumb enough to subscribe to…
Maybe he is just channeling Lawrence O’Donnell and since HE hasn’t drank a beer her really is the epitome of dry drunk…and hey where does Larry D. get his ideas…at the lake?
You say rotating penis as if that would be a bad thing.
the typo is fruedian and works…when I siad the lake…wher does one get story ideas… I should habve said
TOWNHOUSE
my bad.
”…clock-slapping faggot…”–good one, GMG.
Cock-slapping is all well and good; but really, Jeff, if we’re to maintain any illusions about being socially more advanced than, say, even white rabbits with waistcoat watches, the clock-slapping has to stop. At least by half-assed past three.
Any more’s an orgy–inevitably to be followed by a protracted period of pro-homonormative hypersatiation coma.
Sheeesh.
TW: except
on the off-chance it’s a Timex
Maybe… not to put too fine a point on it….but the propellor rotates…the penis stands perfectly straight… (unless your name is Clinton, in which case it will have a left bias…)
This is getting into Zen koan territory – except instead of flags flapping in the wind, it’s…..
Naw, just leave it at that.
The sound of one clock clapping?
So what does make a horologist tick?
You can lead a horticulture, but you can’t make her think.
[Tang gives shout-out to Dorothy Parker]
It does help them wear evenly.
Proper inflation can help prevent a blowout as well.
See… and I had the opposite thought. I think that clock makers have forced us to have only 60 minutes in an hour so that we wouldn’t get to look at the number 69 every hour. Damn puritanical clock makers!
You can’t take the sex out of digital clocks. Electric has those nasty male plugs and battery…well we all know what a battery looks like.
TW it’s just a Party
Uh-oh—I’m a clock-slapper!
Does that make me a … a horophobe!?
– No…. that makes you a Temporophile …. (Hey Mikey…. He likes it”
Hilarious!
I’m off to the land of the Great Lakes in a few hours. No more earthquakes under the lake beds, ok?
Roger that. But if the Bedford Hts folks all flush at once, I can’t be held responsible. I’m quite a ways south of the lake anyhoo.
Enjoy.
