Bartender – a drink for this gentleman, please, and put it on my tab! In hindsight, I think the ladies should avert their eyes.
Haha – too late! I keep going back to play with it because it’s fun.
Your comment, though, got me wondering about the Victorian era English – is it true they covered up the legs of tables, chairs, pianos, and such to avoid the aforementioned womanly inflammation?
is it true they covered up the legs of tables, chairs, pianos, and such to avoid the aforementioned womanly inflammation? I don’t believe so, no. Though the idea of ladies becoming dangerously aroused by furniture is not without its comedic possibilities.

…Victorian era English – is it true they covered up the legs of tables…?
I have read that this is not true, and that the claim may have originated as a funny insult directed at “those prudish Americans”. The claim seems obviously absurd given how much effort the Victorians put into crafting elegant table legs etc. See here, for instance.

I admit it did smack of urban legend or humorous fable, but stranger things have been known to be true. What I had not heard though was that it all started as a joke that Americans were over-prudish. Learn something new every day! I do worry about the lab rats that keep pressing that lever, poor things.
My office feels like a Skinner Box sometimes – I keep mashing the buttons on the computer, in spite of the negative feedback, because of the occasional positive feedback, so long as that slot opens and a paycheck comes out regular-like. I think that’s why I keep mashing the buttons that lead to this place – the mental reward pellets outweigh the ones that aren’t so rewarding (that See also link mentioned above, or anything by that Shaefer person, for example…)

For those not aware, the current Canadian flag was designed as a rejection of Canada’s British heritage by a Liberal Party dominated by what has become known as the “Laurentian Elite”. The previous flag was typical of former British colonies.
The maple leaf was chosen precisely because of its lack of historical symbology, and the flag is red on white because red is the traditional colour of the Liberal Party (our “conservative” party’s colour is blue).
The best American analog I can think of is if the current administration retired the Stars & Stripes in favour of a blue flag with a picture of a donkey on it.
Kiwi logic “It is time to start knocking on people’s doors & making sure they are … isolating for 2 weeks.”
Knock, knock
Are you isolating?
Well, I was until you came along…
let’s appropriately punish them & make sure people know about that so other people don’t do it as well

Now that’s a sore point: the buggers tend to come over to Australia and sponge off us. The Australian Government keeps sending the dodgy one’s back as we have enough crims of our own. I don’t know why so many Kiwis do come to Oz – they hold the America’s Cup and have plenty of sheep of their own. That should be enough entertainment for them to want to stay.

Ah, back in the days when men were men and the sheep ran like hell.
I’ve always said this place is educational.
Speaking of education …
In 2018, one of the co-directors at my university’s Office of Academic Indigenization invited an Indigenous elder to give a presentation on “Western Medicine vs. Traditional Healing Medicine.” A member of the audience asked the elder what he recommended for the “gut problems” afflicting her child. In response, the elder stated that the parent should “rub corn pollen on his feet and do a sunrise ceremony.” A number of professors in the Faculty of Science and Technology attending the session acknowledged afterwards that this example of “traditional healing medicine” was completely inconsistent with evidence-based scientific medical techniques (as seems obvious, even to those of us who aren’t doctors). But they remained silent at the event, as did everyone else, out of “respect.”
Dr. Widdowson wrote Disrobing the Aboriginal Industry: The Deception Behind Indigenous Cultural Preservation, which sounds good until you read the summary:
They analyse all the major aboriginal policies, examine issues that have received little critical attention – child care, health care, education, traditional knowledge – and propose the comprehensive government provision of health, education, and housing rather than deficient delivery through Native self-government.
Right. That’ll fix it.

Does this mean it’s kosher for us to go back to walling up entire families inside their homes when any one of them is suspected of carrying the plague?
I kid, of course.
That plague was real, and that course of action was sensible in its context.
OMG, I try not to bring my work home, but I feel like I have just spent a day with the remedial year 8’s. It has been several years since I taught them, but once when I was off sick they ran amok on a relief teacher. When I came back I was finding penis doodles for weeks around the room.
As to table legs, one of the year nines once brought in an off cut from a turned table leg from the woodwork room and was traumatising the girls next door with it(glass windows between classrooms).
My resolve to not drink on work nights has just evaporated. Thanks guys.
Brilliant. I’m still laughing.
