Interesting. I wonder if this guy knows that the majority of us don't
believe it at all?
I'd be most interested in dropping a support line to him, anyone else game?

I have an unfair advantage; I've been hearing things like this for the
past couple of years. :)
This was a parody, folks. Go back over the post, and start looking for
the metaphors...or what I refer to as Ugasisms. :)

ROTFL!!! I knew SOMETHING was getting to me about this message... I just
coldn't pin it down to an exact cause until the followup post. Made my
morning interesting. :-)

Thanks John, that sure cleared out an over-worked argument :)
I really feel sorry for the guy...
BTW, what was all that in-joke between Kublia, David and the rest?
Surprisingly I don`t like that sort unless I make them ;)

It was not an in-joke. The post in question is poking fun at the supposed
"Sex in the floss" animation scene by including several metaphors that can
in themselves be taken in a sexual context; i.e., "mounting an effort." A
male lion (among many animals) "mounts" the female in the act of mating.
Therefore the humorous allusion occurs to the "subliminal message" in the
movie, and laughter (theoretically) results.
I'd explain it in more detail, but this list is not one of
bioreproduction, so I will lay this subject to rest (I hope).

For what it's worth, I was fooled at first, too, until I saw the next
message referring to 'Ugas-isms' and went back.. At THAT point I LOL'd.
:)
Nice joke, but it could use a disclaimer at the end. :)
