Hey Ray

Post by _Gazelam »

Just glancing over your posts, and I've noticed that as you defend the faith your doing so in a vulgar and profane way.

Saying things like "wank off", "Hey ****head", and something in regards to "f******" are not doing you any favors. Besides getting your posts dumped into the lower kingdoms here, they also only serve to make oyu look like a vulgar heathen, and cheapen your opinion in regards to spiritual things.

I'm glad you said something. I typed up a few responses and thought better of it. I just recall a really great thread that Ray and I discussed code of conduct. He felt that only those in the Church would learn how to treat other people in a respectful manner and with ethics. Obviously he's just hurt his argument.

I've never understood Ray's approach. But he already knows how I feel.

I'm surprised you've never heard this term before, Jersey Girl.

From wikipedia:

"Blue comedy is comedy that is off-color, risqué, indecent, profane, or obscene. It often contains cursing and/or sexual imagery that shocks and offends many audiences. The term allegedly comes from the music hall comedian Max Miller who kept all his adult jokes in a blue coloured notebook.

'Working blue' refers to the act of performing this type of material. A 'blue comedian' or 'blue comic' is a comedian who usually performs blue, or is known mainly for his or her blue material...Many comedians who are normally family-friendly might choose to work blue when off-camera or in an adult-oriented environment; Bob Saget exemplifies this dichotomy."

I would expect that living where he does, Gaz is very familiar with those who "work blue."

Yes, I'm familiar with it in that context. I thought there might be another usage in LDS culture.

Okay, now that Blixa helped clarify that...

Sure they do, Gaz. Mercury, Paul O. and Porter are examples of Mormons who "work blue".

Sure, I like that, it is a great cover for surprising members with the truth and scaring non members!
