This guy Burris. He is technically correct, but, this is one of those situations where being right matters less than not making a jackass of yourself. It honestly reminds me of something I might do, just bulldoze ahead, knowing how "right" I am. I hope I don't come off like this guy.

I'm disappointed in the Senate for blocking Burris. I think they are flat out wrong and are breaking the law.

In this country, you are innocent until proven guilty. We all know that Blago is a crook, but in the eyes of the law, today, he's an innocent man. He hasn't been convicted yet. He has the authority as governor to choose whoever he wants to fill that seat, and he's chosen Burris. The Senate can't block that just because they don't like it. It's a stupid political game at a time when the country really doesn't need political games. Burris will eventually end up serving as Senator, so this game just makes the Senate leaders look like ineffectual douchbags.

Yeah, I'm a registered Democrat, and I just called the leaders of my party ineffectual douchbags. :mad:

I'm not an ineffectual douchebag, but I play one on TV.

Lord and Lady Douchebag

Hmm. Douchebag has an "e" in it. Spellchecker doesn't like it either way.

In Germany "douche" means "shower." I used to douche every day when I was there.

I bet you had that fresh as spring feeling.

We had a german friend in college who said "I'm going to go shower" (in german) to his girlfriend. We called him douchebag from there on out.

/Yes, this is how we treated our friends.
//Imagine how we treated the people we didn't like! :eek:

lmao...I did not think, at first glance, that that thing was a shower "douche" but rather a douche "douche." My questions were as follows:

Why is it laying out in the dirt?

Is that little diagram on the bottom a height/weight chart so you know how much vinegar-n-water to put in the 5 gallon bag?

:eek:

Well looks like Fraankenstein is going to Washington. I give him 6 months to step on his dick.

It's a douchebag. :) It's used for when you go camping and can't stand to go without taking a shower. I have used one before. It's probably laying on the ground because my husband was setting up the tent and didn't realize he left it laying right there beside it. Great...now the shower water is going to be all dirty!

Our douche bag had a silver layer inside, and a clear side, so that when you put it on the ground it would heat up the water inside. We used it more for washing dishes than showering though.

Flint 01-09-2009 01:00 PM

Yes, they should be a heat trap. Hot showers, man!

Shawnee123 01-09-2009 01:02 PM

My brothers and I snicker like teenagers when one of my nieces wants a "juice bag" because, especially when the 3 year old says it, because with her 3 year old speech, it sounds a bit like douche bag. That's what they call them, because they're in those little bag thingies instead of boxes.

We're so immature. ;)

Everyone I know calls those things by a brand name, "Capri Sun." Just like "Band-Aid" is a brand name for a bandage.
