Reuters Copy Editor: “Yeah go ahead and stick in the word ‘the’ before ‘MILF’—that way no one will even make that connection anymore.” [Front Row]

Sort of like “tea bagging”, by the time the headline writers catch on, it’s way too late.

Since this MILF-y thing seems to be gaining in popularity, may I use this opportunity to just say that as a barren woman (sign reads “enter only”), I ask you fellas – you DO realize, don’t you, that you’re focusing all your attention upon those vaginas which have had a miniature human being pass through their walls. In all my sexual history they are are two things I have yet to spit out – and a kid is one of them. I’d like to be good for something over here. [walks away sobbing....]

Maybe they are merely referring to Stiffler’s Mom?

CapnFatback November 13, 2009 at 12:39 pm

Make love, not peace.

Hey, can we get a break from this McCain-Palin feud story?

“We like to take long walks, we like to go to the movies, we like to go out to dinner, we like to catch up on our sleep,” she said.

Hillz is very much a PSHDLTF. (Pantsuit He Don’t Like to Fuck)..

CapnFatback November 13, 2009 at 12:46 pm

[re=457806]artpepper[/re]: Slight error there: McCain is technically a father.

Crank Tango November 13, 2009 at 12:47 pm

[re=457798]Click[/re]: how does one become barren? did someone drive off your livestock, burn your barns, and salt your bagina?

Question: What’s up with the advertisment of the flat-chested woman pinching her own nipples?

Click November 13, 2009 at 12:54 pm

[re=457817]Crank Tango[/re]: I think it was the IUD I had put in when I was 11.

Lascauxcaveman November 13, 2009 at 12:55 pm

[re=457813]Click[/re]: I’m all for sex with non-moms, and have in fact greatly enjoyed this numerous times in the past, but oddly enough, the mother of my children says this is strictly a no-go, going forward.

[re=457820]taylormattd[/re]: She’s actually posing as a hanger. Their next ad campaign will show a well-hung Levi.

Crank Tango November 13, 2009 at 12:58 pm

[re=457828]Click[/re]: well it was effective, right?

artpepper November 13, 2009 at 1:02 pm

[re=457812]CapnFatback[/re]: Well there goes my appetite for today. But a Cindy vs Sarah cat fight would be something to watch.

Click November 13, 2009 at 1:03 pm

[re=457836]Crank Tango[/re]: Uh – yeah. Actually the doctor who removed it said that judging by the amount of resulting scar tissue it worked more like an IED. Then he asked me out. Only in Alaska…..

bitchincamaro November 13, 2009 at 1:04 pm

[re=457829]Lascauxcaveman[/re]: So the “caveman” moniker harkens back to your (previous) untamed life?

Crank Tango November 13, 2009 at 1:09 pm

[re=457847]Click[/re]: well those were some wild times, right?

DP November 13, 2009 at 1:12 pm

I can’t keep up…are we calling it “making peace” now? Shouldn’t that be making “piece?” Oh wait. I’m on the wrong site…’scuse me.

[re=457855]Crank Tango[/re]: Oh, to have back that kind of stamina.

At least the Moro Islamic Liberation Front has been around longer than the acronym’s other meaning. Pity the poor schlub who came up with a promotion for his airline’s flights to the Bahamas called Many Islands, Low Fares. MILFs for as low as $9.

Crank Tango November 13, 2009 at 1:23 pm

[re=457867]SayItWithWookies[/re]: Pity? That’s a pretty effective campaign I’d say. Now if they could have a promotion for LBFMs, I’d be in.

Of course, you are refering to Alaska.

Is the Moro Islamic Liberation Front web page up yet? Can’t wait for the pop-up ads.

Keep trying, I’m sure the 38th time the joke is made, it’ll be comedy gold.

The MILF? Only one? Christ, I saw four at the Food Lion today. Which one do they mean?

LowerdPeninsula November 13, 2009 at 11:48 pm

This was so funny, because I was just about to suggest when I originally read about MILF that they stick the definitive article in front of it. lol
