The Civil War is equally neat, I agree.

Oh, I also like the Napoleonic period.

[Bishamonten]

the Greek Homeric age, Edo-Japan era and the Meiji era of Japan.  I'm actually reading Herbert Bix's "Hirohoto and the Making of Modern Japan."  Fascinating book. 

[ignom]

[Dry then Catch]

Mine probably is the Second World War. How about yours?

i have an odd fantasy about being a young 2LT in an armor division freeing a concentration camp and having a torrid relationship with an older Anne Frank.

I don't get the Queen Anne joke.

[ReBurn]

I don't get the Queen Anne joke.

Would you like me to explain it to you?

[Jessie]

I don't get the Queen Anne joke.

Would you like me to explain it to you?

It took me a minute to get it.  I was wondering if there were actual historic records of that happening.

Did it ever happen to you?  Did you write it down when it happened?

I can honestly say that's never happened to me.

OMG!  I nearly fell out of my chair laughing at that!

Holy crap! I just got that joke!! 

ok someone explain it so that i may remove all doubt that i got it

[eo000]

I don't get it either.

[Gamplayerx]

Fine.  Explanation.  Don't stone me if it takes away the funny.

Historical Figure:  Queen Anne
Historical Period:  she got her Period
Thus:  she had to put a sweater around her waist to hide the leak through

Hahaha wonderful explanation, Gampster!

[Dry then Catch]

thats what i thought.  why do girls do that don't they know the sweater will be ruined?

[Jessie]

thats what i thought.  why do girls do that don't they know the sweater will be ruined?

Better the sweater than their dignity, I suppose.

[Bishamonten]

thats what i thought.  why do girls do that don't they know the sweater will be ruined?

Because only whores gets bleed through, Catch. 

[nishi]

thats what i thought.  why do girls do that don't they know the sweater will be ruined?

Better the sweater than their dignity, I suppose.

plus, the sweater might not be ruined if they know to use cold water.... i assume this would not have been a problem for anne, as hot water would have been harder to come by.

[Dry then Catch]

just to clarify....the sweater thing for modern girls is a one time deal right?  after that initial bleed thru you buy tampons correct? 

[Gamplayerx]

The sweater thing is just so you can leave the room and tend to things.  It's not a permanent solution.

[Dry then Catch]

i wonder if its similiar to the
"i didn't shake quite enough dribble at the urinal cause i got hasty and wanted to leave cause there was a line, but the pee is sort of visible through my underwear and now through my thin shorts so I'm going to wear my shirt extra long to cover it up"   am i right guys?

[Jessie]

It's more likely that you just started unexpectedly, or ***Warning:  Details*** you might even be expecting it soon, but get a super heavy flow, or a gush.

It's not necessarily indicative of a girl getting her first period, if that's what you meant.

I think words are cheapened.  If you're going to have "super heavy flow" it should be something that could, concievably lift you out of your seat...

That's one hilarious mental image.  The cramps would be horrible, though.

thank you for giving it a name!! +1

[Jessie]

I love how we talk about constipation, colonoscopies, menstrual flow, and urine drips like it's nothing.

I *heart* you all and your disgustingness.

[Gamplayerx]

What with all the constipation, colonoscopies, menstruation and urine, I totally forgot to mention the superfluous U in the title!

This was much funnier as an in-joke.

Just put me on ignore ReBurn and pretend you didn't read it.

[dazie]

Well I WAS going to actually discuss my like for the Civil War era (the US Civil War) but now I'm slightly nauseous and must go lie down.  Lay down.  Bah.  Become prone.

Forget-me-dots.  Cramps...   


BTW- Have I mentioned how much I LOVE the little barfing face emoticon?            
It almost makes up for not having the little devil faces anymore.

[dazie]

OMG!  LITTLE DEVIL FACES!!!! 



My life is complete.

Well, my online smiley face life is complete.

[Beefy]

I did that just for you.
