probably a question of nipples

That shoudl be one lesson in civics that they won't forget in a hurry!

Priceless. I have fond memories of working in the State House newsroom in that building in Montpelier in the 1960s, just down the hall from the Guv's office. Hoff was governor then. He wouldn't have stood for any such nonsense as nudies on public display either, I don't think. Hadda go across the street to the cocktail lounge of the Montpelier Tavern Motor Inn to talk dirty and such.

BTW, that semi-nude statue of Lady Justice holding the scales is not in "the main lobby" of the Justice Department but in the large auditorium which is used for press briefings. The reason given why it was covered up three years ago was that, when addressing the assembled reporters, the Attorney General generally stands in front of that statue. In the adys before TV coverage, this was OK. But now, with cameramen shooting closeups, the impression is that there's a human teat right next to the AG's ear, The statue is roughly life-size. (Nobody thought of the simple expedient of moving the lectern to another corner of the room, of course. Just like nobody has thought of having the governor meet with youth groups in some place other than his inner sanctum.)

How long was that nude statue on that desk?

And how many children were exposed to it?

I have this insidious, creepy-crawly feeling that is working its way into my veins and my very pores, that civilization as we know it is being taken over by the pagans and the savages.

Oh, good!

Are you one of them, osso?

(This is MUCH worse than I feared)

We just might lure him out of the swamp. How about some more statues of nekkid ladies?

Hmm.. maybe he is going to put it in the bathroom..

It still makes me wonder why people are so repressed. Why is it such a problem to have a statue that is nude? I dont understand the issue? Is it because it makes you think of sex? Well.. if my pants are rubbing me wrong,, I THINK of sex.. that doesnt mean I am going to abolish my pants.
Hmm.. that was a BAD example..
But . maybe.. somewhere in my rambling , you can get my point..

shewolf, the "Pants Game" is over in the Trivia & Word Games forum. :wink:

This thread makes me thinK of joefromchicago's new avatar.

I tell ya folks, it's only dem nipples that drive people wacko, nudity or even just booby is rampant and galore in the USA but we find nipples abhorent. Totally weird. I kinda think the "slave girl in chains" motif is the dream of of red-blooded grey haired republican. Personally, I really like party hats.
