I met a guy the other day with one hand and no legs. I won't go into the medical details because I don't know them, but he was a one-handed, no-legged kind of guy. He walked on prosthetics and you'd barely know it but if you came at him from the right and held out a hand for a hand shake - and he had to kind of turn his good hand over to give you an uncomfortable, twisted reverse shake – you couldn't miss the stump where his other paw should be. In the course of a conversation with him he told me that he had recently been getting depressed because he couldn't find a girlfriend. He'd been on a few dates with someone but it was a foreign student and she returned to her native country. He wants a family (everything works up there, it's from the knee down that’s missing) and is now in his mid thirties. With the missing bits returned, I think he'd be quite a catch: good looking, fit, funny, bright, well paid job, interesting lifestyle (he was recently part of a round the world yacht crew for example) but, as things are, he’s never really had a proper partner.
Talking about him later on (when he’d gone, obviously) I had to admit that, were we talking about the equivalent female and were I single, I wouldn’t be able to look beyond the obvious problems. I guess I’m just too shallow.
What about you? Could you date outside your limbosphere? On the disability scale how far from intact would the needle need to stray before you’d say no way to someone you’d otherwise be attracted to?
Oslo, if you were this guy, what would you do to find love? Do you think his punching weight should be that of someone in a similar position to himself or should he be aiming to be the first one handed heavyweight champ?

I'd take the land mine route. Rumour has it that even Lady Diana - The People's Princess® would put out for anyone who'd lost limbs to one of those bad boys.

True story, friend of mine pulled a girl one night when out drinking - went back to his. Next morning she clambered out of the bed and stumbled and he asked if she was still drunk. It was then that he realised that she had one leg.

I've often thought about shagging a midget and/or a girl with no legs... Just minge and hips...
May make me vile, but you asked. However, I don't know how keen I would be to take up a relationship with a midget or lady-snail.
May have to test the theory, you know, for research!

I was thinking about that 'joke' the other day. I can't remember why exactly, but it crossed my mind, and I thought, you know, it does cross some magic line beyond even bad taste and offensiveness. I don't know. It's like when you see a picture of a car accident or somebody being killed, and the way the human body all of a sudden just becomes this pulpy meat, face all distorted and broken, guts strung out... it sort of makes you think about humans differently. They look worthless and pitiful in that state. And that 'joke' reveals something about the human mind that gives me a similar reaction. It's so base and empty that it reveals something about us. It's horrifying, but it's a reminder that we really are a bunch of animals.

a good window into that side of things is the internet site gurochan.com. It's very very nsfw, but it's only drawings. But if you spend half an hour or so looking through it, you can feel your mind bending. Some of that stuff sears the brain. Nobody really does misogyny like the japanese.

Absolutely. I've exposed myself to quite a bit of this sort of stuff, it makes you think... humans, they're important, but not as important as physics.

After some of the doozies that Mask and Thorn have posted over the years (arguably, Kovacs too), *I* get the new low accolade?
It's only taken 7 years, but I've finally made it!

well, you cant just eat nothing but 'sausages'. you need to some 'mash' to balance it out. somethign creamy and comforting, solid and reliable, and homely, but also sexy. just like a lady. also, you maybe need something a bit spicy on the side, a bit piquant and provocative like mustard, to set both the 'sausages' and the 'mash' off. in the tmo- of- old context, that would have been macandrew, who was gay.

so it's like a mash-fest? Sounds a bit too much 'gash-fest' for my liking. Anyway we need more mash to go with all these sausages. All these men, posting on tmo, all with little cocks in their underpants. Gross. McAndrew was gay.

i think we need to stop using the past tense when we say 'macandrew, who was gay'. i reckon he probably still is. hes unlikely to have changed his mind.

he was killed though, about three months ago. Some clown dropped a bin over a footbridge near fife, and he was driving underneath it. bin went through the windscreen, he lost control and crashed into some stables.

You just jogged my memory - I heard that joke once. My then-boyfriend told me it. Somehow he thought I'd find it funny. I broke up with him not long after that.
He had a small scar between his eyes and told me once that it had happened in school when he'd heard a football or something bang against the window pane next to him, looked up, and then glass pane slipped inwards and fell on him, breaking on his head and leaving him with a large cut between his eyes. That made me laugh and he was offended.
So I don't know. Maybe we deserved eachother.

I think to keep our more sensitive ladies - ie those with eyes - we need sausages to indicate below that they too feel 'snail lady' post crosses a line into 'not big or clever' territory.
