Ladies and gentlmen, welcome to the new dong thread.
Finally a backroom thread that seems worth following.
But yea, I really got worried about us all, when only on page 3 we moved from sex to food. What is the matter with the kids these days ???
Thanks, Papewaio, for your subtle effort to bring it back on track with post #62.![]()
Well it's a double entendre with our most controversial Backroom topics thrown in abortion and guns. I do aim to please... pity my precision is so askew :)

The DNA reason for sex has been well defined. The social benefits of it hasn't. For something that is used as the ultimate ink pot to sign our longest term contracts it is remarkable how coy society is about it generally.
Yes we have a lot of porn on the Internet. But the mechanics of a car is a lot different to the social cache of driving one.
With technology is sex dying out or are we seeing an environmental change were some will be so enraptured with technology that they fail to reproduce naturally only to have to relie on the same technology that distracted them to allow late life births.
Is tech preventing more Darwin awards?
With all the career women, nature may reward those women who remain fertile longer; pushing the average age of fertility for women up; perhaps age (for both genders), too. With all the contraceptives available in the Western world, an evolutionary push may focus on the desire to have children, with the reward for horniness being lower than it used to be.
Runes for good luck:

I have to be honest, anyone who says the "meat has to be red" obviously does not know how to cook properly, especially if they say well-done = burnt/tough+rubbery. Unfortunately, bad cooks tend to make it burnt/rubbery, when people want well-done, they simply want the meat thoroughly cooked and not red. Though being honest, stick a steak on a George Foreman grill 10-15mins as it gets thoroughly cooked and still juicy at the same time.
I have been served "red" before, and what it basically is a quick fry on both sides and if they not even defrosted it properly, the middle is still frozen, definitely "Yummy!".

Anything from medium to well done I enjoy. I don't like it too 'red'. Sometimes I really want a well done steak (not burnt like some people think it is), others I want a medium or a medium well.
I wish I had a steak. This is why I hate talking about food.![]()
It's that the meat is thoroughly cooked that we consider damaged/destroyed meat.
Cooking meat, and especially the god-awful casserole-style, will be punishable by firing squad the instant I become dictator.
If it doesn't drip blood, it simply isn't food. You might as well get a hamburger.

Hmm, for some reason we just can't seem to keep it up.
... I mean on topic.
It's true, this topic has gone limp. Needs more dong.

My aim, then, was to whip the rebels, to humble their pride, to follow them to their inmost recesses, and make them fear and dread us. Fear is the beginning of wisdom.
I am tired and sick of war. Its glory is all moonshine. It is only those who have neither fired a shot nor heard the shrieks and groans of the wounded who cry aloud for blood, for vengeance, for desolation.
Too much booze will only lead to poor performance. Which given your criteria would be a death spiral.
