This reminds me of a more innocent time, something like 3 years ago. I'd already been warned by the hubby that I should never go to a place called "goatse". So I didn't, because I trust him, and anyway, the 'net is full of people who will tell you about it or make picture tributes to it.
Well, a coworker said something like "it's not like it's goatse" in an email to me and a few colleagues. I heard the "ping" on all our machines, saw the reference and laughed. Co-worker 1 piped up, saying "what's a goatse?" I told her she didn't want to know. Co-worker 2 was silent but I heard his keyboard clattering. I knew what was coming. um, as it were.
I heard a pause. Then, "oh my god. No, you don't want to know." He then took an extended break.
Hubby tells me I should never, ever go to tubgirl. Too late.
