I think an opportunity was missed with this bar graph

So, it looks like six inches is the big ~~wiener~~ winner.

woohoo!
I'm above average...(though clearly not being utilized)

posted by Schyler523 27 August | 05:50

Not utilized? What do you piss with these days?

posted by dodgygeezer 27 August | 05:56

Yep, some graphic designer sure dropped the ball, huh?

posted by kmellis 27 August | 06:41

6 inches? It seems bigger... ;)

C'mon, kmellis - don't get teste.

This report is brought to you by the school of small cocks.

Did you hear that sound? That was the sound of every male bunny looking for a ruler.

Capn, surely you already knew how long your penis was?

Is there any guy out there who HASN'T measured himself?

posted by sisterhavana 27 August | 10:46

I've tricked every boyfriend to reveal that indeed, they had, by simply underestimating their size by an inch or so. ;) Works every time.

dabitch....you are evil! heh.

They all lied.

Six inches?! No wonder I only date tall boys.

posted by dame 27 August | 13:54

Honestly, I've never used a ruler on mine. It's big enough.

posted by loquacious 27 August | 14:11

It appears there's a reason why they call it a "nob" in some parts . . .

posted by Absit Invidia 27 August | 14:11

I don't know, the fact that underrepresentation of the quarter and three-quarter inch measurements distort the obvious bell curve of the graph tends to challenge the statistical validity here. Please refer to the classic book "How to Lie With Statistics" and its criticism of the Kinsey reports...

Sister: Never measured my cock. Why would I? It's the size it's gonna be, y'know? It's not like I need to fit it for accessories; kakagami fits every size.

But, apparently, I'm so insecure that I had to post that twice.

posted by klangklangston 27 August | 16:08

Nice one, klangklangston!

I really that length has more of an immediate impression, but most of the gals I know find girth more important.

posted by Frisbee Girl 27 August | 16:35

On re-reading this, I can see that I must be attempting to compensate for klangklangston's double by dropping out words. Not that this is anything new.

That should read: "I really understand"

posted by Frisbee Girl 27 August | 16:54

I think six inches is a fine size, although I agree with Frisbee Girl that girth is more important than length. I'd rather deal with average than with too big.

posted by LeeJay 27 August | 16:58

In my house, there is no such thing as too big. (But if you find one that doesn't suit you, send it to Brooklyn. Boy still must be attached.)

posted by dame 27 August | 18:17

Although, the more I think about it, the more envious I am of people to whom size doesn't matter (and to lots of people it doesn't). Gives you more choices. And that can't be bad.

What if everytime you get a hard-on, you pass out from blood loss? That'd be too big, hah? hah?

*passes out from blood loss*

posted by jonmc 27 August | 18:41

Only for the person who passed out. And isn't that an old wives' tale?

I don't get it.

posted by dame 27 August | 19:14

(I am a fish out of water in this discussion. Sorry to derail.)

posted by mudpuppie 27 August | 19:26

Ah. I was overthinking. Are you a fish out of water because you only like fish?

Anyway, I don't think you can actually derail a conversation that features a drunk jon & me being obnoxious about liking big cocks.

Am I supposed to interpret this? Because I can...

I guess what I meant was "Sorry for turning it in to something about ME, even though everything IS about me, especially because tomorrow is my birthday and because I am a really cool person and because I donate to the SPCA even though I'm broke and because this Talking Heads song is making me really happy!"

Yes. Please.

Anyway, happy birthday. And stuff.

posted by dame 27 August | 19:55

Then, yes. The answer is yes.

posted by mudpuppie 27 August | 20:02

Stay Up Late??

posted by kmellis 27 August | 20:11

That was my favorite song when I was five.

And I'm glad the fish is a multipurpose one, then, mudpuppie.

posted by dame 27 August | 20:23

Happy birthday to all the August28ites out there in MetaChat land...may all out fish find water!
