ok bit off topic, but the following insult..

'suppurating rectum. A suppurating rat’s rectum. A suppurating rat’s rectum inside a dead skunk that’s been shoved up a week-old dead rhino’s twat'


going away for a moment from the RDF context ---i just think its absolutely hillarious and made me laugh all day, just wondering if anyone is in agreement lol

I was in fucking pieces last night for so long each and every time I read it. I couldn't read it out loud without falling apart.

I posted on a thread here a comment someone made on PZ's blog. They said how they thought the language was OTT, however at the end they made a special not to say that the insult was SO creative that they would nearly feel complimented to receive it!

The RDF website as a whole, including the forum (bulletin board), is run at the top by a salaried staffer, Josh Timonen, to whom Richard Dawkins dedicated his book, "The Greatest Show on Earth: The Evidence for Evolution". Also helping at the top are an unpaid volunteer, Andrew Chalkley, and a couple of other unpaid volunteers. The actual day-to-day running of the forum as such itself was under the control of a team of unpaid volunteers, admins such as Topsy (username, not real name), and a team of moderators (mods).
Does Dawkins have a *THING* for Josh? :shock: Wink, wink, nudge, nudge. Could this all just be sex related?

I doubt it as eh has a lovely wife, and I'd be happy for them if it was true anyway. Now given his love of Rick Astley, we might have some more amusing milage there... I'll give a totally unsuitable prize for the best Rick & Richard photoshop someone comes up with I can shove on my blog (so not obscene, anything else fair game)! I mean Rickrolling. ;) He deserves it!

I gotta admit, the Rickroll was pretty good. I didn't think Josh had it in him.
Yeah well that's just, like, your opinion, man.
