[Hayduke Bomgarte]

1. Hey!

Isn't that Richard Cranium?

[munster69]

30. I always knew The senator from Canada was a monster but

a one eyed monster?

[tsuki]

84. I heard that a village in Canada is missing its idiot. nt

[L0oniX]

154. Calling out Sid is not needed here. Amber alert maybe?

[roguevalley]

85. he looks like a young pat buchanan

[tweeternik]

104. He does!

I always think of Joe McCarthy when I hear him speak ... but you're right! he does look like a young Pat Buchanan!

[graywarrior]

114. OMG, yes!

[Hubert Flottz]

175. ROTFLMFAO!

The Party of Dickheads!

[Warpy]

2. Maybe post a warning so Miss Prunella (of both sexes) doesn't complain.

I might or might not have shared that one.

[graywarrior]

4. I'll see what happens

[CaliforniaPeggy]

3. Nope. I don't think there's a jury anywhere on DU that wouldn't just howl with laughter at this!

I love it!

K&R

[graywarrior]

6. You would, you fouled mouthed huzzy

[CaliforniaPeggy]

9. Of course! It takes one to know one, I always say, lol!

[niyad]

98. you nearly owed me a keyboard

[graywarrior]

101. I'm honored

[Siwsan]

5. Yea, maybe a NSFW alert - but it's hilarious!

[Jackpine Radical]

7. Alerting.

Here's the content of the alert:

"Hey everybody--wake up & have a look at this."

[cynatnite]

8. You should put a warning for those who might have kids close by or if they are at work.n/t

[graywarrior]

13. OK

[lamp_shade]

10. I sure hope not...

(pecker head)

[Tarheel_Dem]

11. OOO

[Gin]

12. Ha ha ha ha ha....so true!

[octoberlib]

14. Omg.

[Hoyt]

15. Surely no one here will defend that dickhead.

[graywarrior]

17. You mean pekkahead, right?

[Cirque du So-What]

16. Occasionally the situation calls for something like this

and this is definitely one of those times.

[Tommy_Carcetti]

18. Why would a picture of Ted Cruz wearing a flesh colored chef's hat--Ohhhhhhh.

[graywarrior]

19. Hahaha!

[Ilsa]

45. Ha! Good one! And the word you are looking for is

"toque", pronounced "toke".

[Politicalboi]

20. LOL!

He doesn't need hair gel to keep it in place, just scratch, here comes a new batch.

[graywarrior]

21. *snort*

[Doremus]

182. omg thanks for the spicy salad dressing up my sinuses (ouch) but worth it for sure! LOLOL

edited to clarify I'm eating dinner, lol

[hunter]

22. Phallus impudicus, known colloquially as the common stinkhorn.

But this is a grave insult to the fungi !!!!



The creature depicted is much lower than a common fungi, or even the average penis.



http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phallus_impudicus

[graywarrior]

28. At least that is useful!

[lastlib]

58. ...or even the foreskin of said penile protuberance.......

[dembotoz]

23. thank you

[evlbstrd]

24. Why?

I don't see anything wrong with it.

[graywarrior]

31. Where you been, you evlbstrd sumbitch?

[evlbstrd]

34. Lost.

Lost in the wild urban recession.

[graywarrior]

38. I hears ya

I consider myself an expert at surviving on poverty wages, not that that's a good thing.

[evlbstrd]

48. No, it's not.

And I'm really tired of it. Is that what happened to the duck? I miss the duck.

[graywarrior]

81. He's waiting for the right moment to return

And lots of us are sick of this. Enough is enough.

[evlbstrd]

105. And it'll be just in the nick of time.

So what do we do about it? I've got plenty of time on my hands.

[graywarrior]

108. I just gotta add him to my avatar & I'm too lazy

or my sig line....i forget which

[evlbstrd]

110. I understand.

That's what, like, 6 clicks. Exhausting!

[graywarrior]

112. Plus I have to think.

I'd rather whine and be juvenile

[evlbstrd]

115. Gotta go with your strengths!

It works for me, too.

[graywarrior]

120. Naps

[evlbstrd]

140. Huh?

I musta dozed off.

[graywarrior]

141. I walk around in a doze.

[evlbstrd]

149. I have lots of doze daze.

Uh oh, I think I'm catching a cold.

[rhett o rick]

25. That's childish and disgusting. I only rec'd by accident. You certainly wont catch

me kicking this silliness.

[rhett o rick]

27. I mean, I am not kicking after my original post above. nm

[L0oniX]

155. I'm not kicking your post either.

[graywarrior]

39. Like us?

[MissDeeds]

42. +1

We need to keep the moral high ground. We know what they are, no need to stoop to this level to point it out.

[rhett o rick]

71. For Dog's sake think of the children. Did I mention sake? That's what I need a warm shot of sake.

[IrishAyes]

137. Rhett and I have butted heads before, but I'm with him on this one.

[MissDeeds]

142. Well, good for you

But I disagree. I stand by my earlier post.

[IrishAyes]

143. We agree on one thing - "Good for me"

Yes, I know; the Irish are notoriously well pleased with ourselves most of the time, aren't we? It might be our most outstanding characteristic.

[MissDeeds]

144. I'm Irish

Nice try, but I am better than this.

[IrishAyes]

145. Now I can rest easier, assured of your superiority.

[11 Bravo]

176. That whooshing sound? 'Twas the sound of the point of rhett o rick's post ...

sailing cleanly over your head.

[MissDeeds]

178. Not really

but nice try.

[11 Bravo]

179. Nice try?

You gave a +1 to a post which obviously was antithetical to your viewpoint. Ask your doctor for irony supplements, and then learn when to abandon ship. (I would reciprocate with a "nice try" but actually, it's such a remarkably lame try that I can't bring myself to do so.)

[JohnnyRingo]

117. I did the same thing

Obscene shenanigans like this should be posted in the lounge...
and the state forums, Good Reads... and maybe in LBN.

[zeemike]

26. I have a complaint.

His forehead is to high...which would indicate a lot of brain....shorten it up and it will be perfect.

[Marie Marie]

29. Is that his actual Senate Portrait?

Kudos to the artist/painter. Looks so real it looks just like him in person.

[graywarrior]

32. He's hard headed!

[RVN VET]

52. That's pretty much Ted's portrait, un-retouched.

The thing that I don't understand is why the guy is so flat out stupid when he's got all that blood rushing to the top of his cranium.

[Arugula Latte]

33. So his next career is as a chef ... or maybe pope?

[allan01]

35. re:Am I risking my membership by posting this? WARNING: NOT FOR CHILDREN!

does classic muttley laugh. if they do ban you. they dont have a sense of humor.

[joesdaughter]

36. Erect is not correct.

I think it always was a limp one- even more so now.

[graywarrior]

44. Maybe even more like a Ken doll!

[Spitfire of ATJ]

59. Ever notice Hannity defends Viagra use?

He's such a dick that he needs it or all he'll do is stare at the floor.

[Nye Bevan]

40. Boehner is ahead of Cruz, I guess (nt)

[calimary]

151. Barrump-bump!

Well, I'm certainly not offended, graywarrior. What's so off-base about that, anyway? Isn't that his official portrait?

[mnhtnbb]

41. OMG. That is the funniest thing I've seen in 2 weeks.

[SunSeeker]

43. K & R

[Ilsa]

46. I vote you stay on DU

for incisive posting!

[graywarrior]

47. I just gather the news and report it!

[llmart]

49. Rec'd....

OK, so I'm a dirty old lady. Wanna make something of it?

The picture is so appropriate, and yeah, hilarious too!

[edbermac]

Just for you GW, warning do not be drinking or eating during this video. It will be all over your keyboard.

[Left Coast2020]

55. Well, its fine with me. I'm an adult.

In 80's and 90's, former Oregon senator Bob Packwood earned the honor of Senator Peckerwood, Pokeweed, Peckerhead many times.

Pokeweed seemed to be the fav.

[Spitfire of ATJ]

56. Do it flacid and you're there.

[Blue Owl]

57. Look at the sloping foreskin

...er, I mean forehead...

[AzDar]

60. Looks about right to me.

[mysuzuki2]

61. it looks like the Cruzer has been circumscribed.

[Cryptoad]

62. What kinda turban is that? nt

[Rain Mcloud]

63. Its okay to post ol' pecker'eads likeness if he can do this on the senate floor.

[link:http://www.newsmutiny.com/pages/Cruz-Jerk.html|

[graywarrior]

65. That's quite a "head"line!

[Rain Mcloud]

66. Nice,LOL!

Great toon BTW.

[dchill]

64. Disgusting...

Looks like a pope.

(Kick.)

[Greybnk48]

67. So true it's almost not funny...almost. n/t

[lordsummerisle]

68. LOL n/t

[me b zola]

69. Looks like he swallowed his own testicles

Now he's just shooting blanks. The inevitable outcome?

[SunSeeker]

70. There's no way Boner can control THAT caucus.

[RagAss]

72. No. You should get a free fucking star.

[graywarrior]

75. Could you say that again?

[alfredo]

73. Raising his eyebrows makes him fall backwards.

[IDemo]

74. There's something disgusting growing on that penis n/t

[Hubert Flottz]

177. That's the asshole I think.

***Breaking***... the DU Dick police are on the way...more at 6.

[dorkzilla]

76. LOL - this threads been alerted!

At Wed Oct 16, 2013, 07:23 PM an alert was sent on the following post:

Am I risking my membership by posting this? WARNING: NOT FOR CHILDREN!
http://www.democraticunderground.com/10023865129

REASON FOR ALERT:

This post is disruptive, hurtful, rude, insensitive, over-the-top, or otherwise inappropriate.

ALERTER'S COMMENTS:

Pictures of genitalia, even on the head of enemies, is totally over the top.

You served on a randomly-selected Jury of DU members which reviewed this post. The review was completed at Wed Oct 16, 2013, 07:26 PM, and the Jury voted 2-4 to LEAVE IT.

Juror #1 voted to HIDE IT and said: Stupid and juvenile. Hide this.
Juror #2 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Nice likeness.
Juror #3 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: No explanation given
Juror #4 voted to HIDE IT and said: No explanation given
Juror #5 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: Oh for fucks sake we're all adults and this is hysterical. He IS a dickhead and there is a warning. Stop with the pearl clutching already...
Juror #6 voted to LEAVE IT ALONE and said: A picture of two d

Thank you very much for participating in our Jury system, and we hope you will be able to participate again in the future.

Note: my self delete below is because I *thought* I reposted closer to the top. Woooopsie.

[Jamastiene]

86. What does the rest of Juror #6's comment say?

A picture of two dicks? Or what?

[dorkzilla]

88. I think it must...

They must have finished jury duty before they finished typing!

[graywarrior]

90. totally over the top.

No kidding!

[dorkzilla]

94. Why can't people lighten up?

It seems to me their behaviour is rather childish, not the other way round. "Teeeeeacccchhhhhheer! They're making rude pictuuuuuuuuuures!"

I was juror #5--I'm half expecting my jury service to be alerted.

[graywarrior]

96. Thank you, dorkzilla! Great name, BTW!

I am rather juvenile, though. Like most people here kinda know that.

[dorkzilla]

97. As a fellow juvenile, I'll join you for a drink in senior juvy-hall

Growing up is waaaaaaay overrated!

[graywarrior]

118. Lets moon the prudes!

[dorkzilla]

122. LOL!!!!! ROTFLMAO!!!!!

I'm just getting over bronchitis -- think I lost a little lung in that guffaw! But totally worth it!

Cheers!

[Warren Stupidity]

102. It has been a very long time since I've had an opportunity to lament Juror #4.

I really do miss meta. The drama was exquisite. But alas, Juror #4 could not be bothered to post any explanation at all, so the award for "really wtf" goes to:


JUROR #1.

[dorkzilla]

109. I have to agree...

Can't imagine being that uptight. Reminds me of Scalia blaming modern woes on ladies who cuss. Got that fucking right, Scalia! We are WOMEN, and we can say whatever the fuck we want!

[graywarrior]

127. This explains all

http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=view_all&address=105x7038118

[dorkzilla]

168. Wait, so this is his/her "mark of Zoro"? n/t

[graywarrior]

169. This is the mark of when DU could handle images like this and not have a bird over them

Back in the day....when we were all as equally sick and juvenile.

[dorkzilla]

170. As usual...

I'm a day late and a dollar short.

No wonder so many people have me on ignore!

[L0oniX]

156. I see we have a few church ladies amoung us.

[graywarrior]

[WillyT]

Is Beldar his cousin?

Odd shaped cone there.

[Jamastiene]

[tsuki]

[Initech]

87. My God it looks like a giant...

[graywarrior]

99. OMG, that is totally juvenile!

[MADem]

167. That riff still makes me laugh.... nt

[wandy]

89. Risking you're membership? Not by my vote.......

Darn, we ought to all chip in and send the bugger a framed 8 by 10 glossy.

[stonecutter357]

91. .

[mstinamotorcity2]

92. I hope not.

just like the good old days on DU. That's f--king funny as hell. Mad Props to you Graywarrior.

[graywarrior]

107. Thanks! That's a compliment!

[madinmaryland]

95. OH SHIT!! Someone FREED the DUCK!!

[graywarrior]

111. Miley Cat sticks her tongue out at you

[madinmaryland]

128. That is the cat we adopted from Flaxbee a few years ago!

[graywarrior]

129. What a riot!

So squeeeee-able!

[niyad]

148. we need grumpy cat

[MisterP]

150. my duck hungers for tom-tom to pound!

[dlwickham]

100. bravo!

[heaven05]

103. yep, true

I laugh at this dangerous joke that TEXAS sent to washington.

[niyad]

106. k and r-- I cannot BELIEVE some humour-lacking person alerted on this. geez, maybe I should

bring out the fainting couch.

[graywarrior]

123. DU is supposed to be better than this

[niyad]

124. we have better humour, and better graphics!

[IrishAyes]

136. Although I do have my limits, if I found it hysterical and definitely acceptable,

so nobody has room to complain. I'm horrified but not surprised at the alert. Awful lot of hypocrisy in people sometimes. They've sworn like drunken sailors and turned around and castigated me (but not others) for the 'b' word. Selective enforcement breeds contempt.

[PatrynXX]

113. this site is genrally not for kids since some swearing is allowed.

although give the child above depends on what sort of kids your talking about. yes he's a dick

course so is dick cheney and usually the phone gives him a **** Cheney if I voice type that name in o_O

[valerief]

116. Love it! nt

[mountain grammy]

119. Now, that's funny!

[Warren DeMontague]

121. Imagine him on the ticket with Santorum!

[JimboBillyBubbaBob]

130. Weird,

he actually looks better.

[Enrique]

131. that's hot n/t

[thefool_wa]

132. Ya probably

But I am not going to report it

Very nice!

[muntrv]

133. That is an insult to the penis!

[IrishAyes]

134. Well, I don't know about your membership, but you have my vote.

I copied that nightmarish picture to my hard drive but might have to remove it. Nightmares, y'know.

[Curmudgeoness]

135. That thing needs protection.

Or I mean we need protection from that thing.

Someone put a raincoat on him.

[IrishAyes]

138. Now THAT's the best reply yet!

[onecent]

139. HELL IT WOULD BE WORTH IT. GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

EXCELLENT POST.

[Chan790]

146. Risking your membership?!

I'd say on its best days DU is NSFW and generally PG-13.

Anybody 14 or older who is scandalized by a cartoony drawing of a penis needs to get out more and/or lighten up. It's those kinds of Victorian attitudes that are the cause of all sorts of social maladies, including some medical maladies. I mean geez, it's a dick, ~49.997% of the world population has one.

Is there anybody here that hasn't seen one or a drawing of one in their lifetime?

[MrMickeysMom]

147. HA!HA!HA!HA!HA!!

I'd ring toss, but I don't want to win the prize underneath it!

[BigBearJohn]

152. Now we all know why Cruz wears a tie -- to hold back the foreskin.

[tavernier]

153. He's a chef?

I am NOT eating in that restaurant.

[Tree-Hugger]

157. This picture is not kid friendly

The picture of the penis probably isn't appropriate for kids, either.

[graywarrior]

159. Thus the warning!

[Tree-Hugger]

158. This is the most vile

And aggressive photo of penile cancer I have ever seen.

Men of DU, please do a regular check of that area to be sure you do not have a similar growth.

[packman]

160. Question the taste

Regardless, photo is offensive and below DU standards. Should be removed.

[MADem]

164. Since when are you the arbiter of DU standards?

It's not like you've been prolific in your posting over the eight years you've been a member. You're averaging about eight posts a year.

Besides, one of the admins has weighed in on this issue, why keep pressing it?

As for the picture of Ted Cruz's head shaped like a penis, I suspect that was allowed to stay because Ted Cruz is a dick.

http://sync.democraticunderground.com/?com=view_post&forum=1259&pid=3751

[PotatoChip]

165. Lol! I was hoping someone would repost that. Thanks.

[MADem]

172. I'm a fan of transparency.

I also get a huge kick out of sight gags at the expense of GOP jerks!

[PotatoChip]

173. Me too, and that one was a DUzy!

I hope it makes the rounds, if hasn't already.

My thanks to the OP.

[graywarrior]

181. That's coz you're a sick Masshole, like me....hahahahahaha

[MADem]

183. Hee hee....we do have our peculiarities, but I like 'em! nt

[graywarrior]

184. I'm gonna try to go see John Travolta in Lynn tomorrow

He's filming a movie in Central Square--junkie & hooker capital of the world...lol

[MADem]

185. Lynn, Lynn, city of sin! nt

[graywarrior]

187. My home town

[MADem]

189. I used to have friends who lived in Lynn--went to a few parties waaaaay back in the day! nt

[graywarrior]

190. You're lucky you got out alive...lol

[MADem]

191. Well, I didn't come out the way I went in!! Hee hee....! nt

[graywarrior]

192. !!!!!!!!!!!!!

[graywarrior]

180. LMAO!

Skinner has a way with words, he does!

[packman]

186. And who in the hell are you?

Didn't realize you kept track of people's postings. Sorry if I offended your post limits. And , yes, all of us are arbiters of DU standards because we all have a interest in DU, even me coming here and appreciating it for 8 years. There truly are dick heads aren't there even ones questioning how "prolific" another member is?

[MADem]

188. I'm the one who buys off on the jury and admin calls on this issue.

You're the one--the only one-- defending "poor Ted Cruz" with a member on his head from the "meanies" on this thread.

Look, more than half your posts have been in the last 90 days. That's not MY fault. It's just a simple fact, one that is public information on this board.

You can "keep track of" anyone's posts if you like. That is what makes DU3 so great--it's entirely transparent.

[packman]

193. You are obtuse

How do you make the quantum jump from my objection to a dick-head photo of (to use another body part, an asshole) to "defending poor Ted Cruz"? And why are you putting poor Ted Cruz in quotes - I never NEVER used that term. And who said anything about "meanies"? Your projection shows on what level you are operating

My post, if you care to read it, is about defending the integrity and what I consider the good taste of DU. If you think posting pictures of dicks elevates the status of DU, it is obvious you enjoy-and here I am projecting - viewing pictures of dicks and really do not care what is posted here and could care less about wallowing in gutter photos.

You are transparent, making an issue out of a concern about taste to attack someone. Take your Post-checking Nazi mentality somewhere else, what is it -you have to have a mini mun number of posts to state an opinion. I'm sure if you check on today's postings you can find someone else to attack because they didn't have enough posts to meet your high standards -lol.

[MADem]

194. The "good taste of DU?"

Again--since you failed to take my point the very first time I made it (let us talk about "obtuse," shall we?) you are not--like it or not--the arbiter of what constitutes the "good taste of DU."

I, like most of the folks weighing in on this thread, find the picture perfectly appropriate, given the events of the past few weeks. If you don't see that, then you're the one lacking clarity.

You have options, you know. You can trash thread, you can ignore posters you don't like, or you can visit a heavily moderated discussion board where every word is tightly scrutinized and the slightest bit of "naughtiness" is scrubbed away, because....well...think of the CHILDREN!!!!!

What you can't do, though, is override a jury call. You tried, by going to the admins, and you were dismissed. Why? Because, as Skinner said, most of us DO think that Ted Cruz is a dick.

FWIW, I don't need to "attack" you--you do that to yourself, all by yourself, by continuing to cry about an entirely appropriate bit of mockery, given the context.

[libodem]

Think of the children! He stole Boner's hat. What are they? All a bunch of dickheads?
