I had a similar experience, at the lake with my grandmother when I was 4 or so feeding the ducks/geese/can't remember/don't care.


This huge fellow with a horned head came after me, and grabbed my Little Mermaid print shorts with his beak/bill.


Almost died, y'all!

Erasure?

Dude... :?


I know

I like softcell and the Bronski Beat too.


I like Erasure too.


It's OK - you're a girl. :wink:

Joking actually - I dig the homoerotic jams too...

Swans are vicious, let me tell you. Never mess with a swan.

We had the most badass swan ever here in Orange County, his name was Rupert - he even had a movie made about him.

He would attack anything - including 100ft yachts that got too close.

He ended up get run over by a Harbor Patrol boat a few years ago, something like 200 people showed up at his memorial service...

He sounds awesome! I'd be surprised if 2 people turned up at mine. I should attack more yachts

Im not really that feminine a girl, and I never saw anything feminine about Erasure, they just seem to have intelligent, catchy sounding songs. I dont understand :?:

I dont know that they really did markets as such back then...

Not to the extent that some pop groups do today, anyway.

I'd say they were a synth pop act, not really a boy band.

I'd say they were all about the men personally. If they were a "boy" band they'd be catholic priest's

You know the singer probably never had a problem with constipation from Erasure.

I've heard that Misandry doesn't really exist, because women do not have the power to oppress men. So it's only a concept in theory. It never actually happens. Something that someone could refer to as "misandry" is about as useful as calling a white person "cracker"...because the white person can't take it seriously because the black person has no power to oppress them.

Yes...I've taken that out of context...but that would imply no woman has ever been, nor could be, in a situation where she had the upper hand. You could say no society has serious Misandry. but certainly an individual woman could be.
