I watched this for the first time in maybe 20 years not too long ago. I have to say it's one of the all time greats...and fuck English people, you sound EXACTLY LIKE Dick Van Dyke.

I think it's relevant because it dispels the ubiquitous right-wing, Bible-loving, Real American™ narrative and prevalent bigoted opinion (here in the US at least) that those dang lesbos and gay people are inferior, amoral beings bent on destroying civilization as we know it. These aren't fringe opinions where I live, they're the norm.

The article isn't saying they did what they did BECAUSE of their sexual preference/identity, merely that "Hey, look! Those freedom-stealing dykes and queers CAN actually be capable of being good, moral people! Well gee willickers, whaddya know!" It's evidence in direct opposition to their ideology. Of course, the true believer's mind will spin it into a big conspiracy because information that conflicts my own confirmational bias can't possibly be legit, right gais? Just like Breivik "Can't possibly be a psychopathic right-winger!"

The fact that it bears mentioning is unfortunate and/or depressing but the state of things being what they are, I think necessary. These two are heroes who just happen to be gay and no amount of denial can change that.

There was a dyke-y lesbian woman in town who always looked uncomfortable, rarely met your eyes when you would meet her on the street. A mutual friend told me that she was really tortured, that she hated being a woman, that she wasn't a woman and was so uncomfortable in her body.

Then she started her transition. It was like watching a flower bloom. He got confident and happy. Moved down the street with purpose, instead of appearing to want to disappear.

He had the benefit of living in a small town, so everyone knew. No secrets, just joy.

"The bull dyke will now do her work." lmfao!

And why... out of all those hot wimmins, is the cruddiest one doing 'the work'?

did you see the dyke march sign?? i loved it.

British accent???? yeah if you're Dick Van Dyke!

wtf? have you all lost your minds?

1. you can't compare a womans vagina to a wad full of cash. but presuming that you could... just because i flashed my wad full of cash does not make it less wrong or even permissible for someone to steal it. your rights end where mine begin.

2. women don't get raped because they're scantily clad. rape is less about sexual gratification and more about power and control. i was a wild ass teenager and i put myself in a lot of unwholesome situations, i experienced my fair share of unwanted, boundary violating sexual advances. i was also a raging tomboy/baby crusty... my clothing didn't have anything to do with the creeps who wanted/tried/did take advantage, it was ALWAYS about power and superiority and control. ALWAYS about some mental defect that made dudes get off on the ability to overpower.

3. you can't blame anyone for mistaking your flirtation with interest. anyone who does is probably being a bitch. but flirting and be provocative is not "stepping into the lion's den and asking to get bit" and you're not contractually obligated to put out... anyone who thinks that it is does is a defective asshole and possibly predatory and almost certainly has issues with women and their ability to own their sexual power, again.. its about power and dominance and control.

4. i sort of agree with the notion that you attract what you put out there. like i chat it up with a lot of mentally ill/homeless men... so a lot of these guys tend to want to marry me.... when i go dancing at the hip hop club, i dont get offended when i get balls rubbed on my leg or some horny drunk guy wants to take me home.... i just go find a girl to dance with after that.... when i go dancing at the gay bar looking like a big dyke, i dont get pissed off when a lesbian flirts with me... i go bowling a lot, i dont get mad when bowling alley people hit on me.... if you dress and behave in a certain way in a certain place, you're bound to attract someone.. you have no right to be surprised or offended when that happens... it may even be what you're looking for.. ... but it does not negate someone else's responsibility to control themselves and respect your words more than your tits. and anyone who doesn't see that, has issues with women and their sexual power. and rape is, once again, about power and control. it is not about cleavage or temptation.

edit: there is also offensive language... i dont get mad if you thought i was flirting with you and expressed an interest, i do get mad if you don't speak to me with respect. again, its about power and control ooorrr maybe you're a social piarha with no idea how interact with people, either way, you're getting turned down and that doesnt make me a tease. it's your problem.

Huh, turns out the staff were mostly women. Bull-Dykes?

The counter to this Ninja attack is The endowed little Dutch Boy.


That only works if they're dykes =)

What he has isn't a beard so much as it is a goatee, right?

It's a goatee with mustache, which looks a bit more weird on him since his chin hair is grey and his mustache is still brown-ish. I say lose the 'stache and rock a grey goatee.

It's technically a Van Dyke (goatee with mustache)

Dutch have dykes...

Tbh, well said joedirt. I wouldn't be surprised if this was a parody - if not, what an embarassment to the people in the video.

I accept they're trying to help, but they're trying to suggest to experts in pressure and drilling to use the old "finger in the dyke" method?

The question is "how can we plug the leak?" and this video says "well you could... uh.. you know, plug it?"

Why don't we just do this with volcanos too?

Ferris Bueller? Why is that on the "Did not pass" list? Hello? The daughter and the mom talked to each other through like half the movie. That was a whole complete fucking subplot. I wonder how many other of those movies she showed that were blatant lies and do completely pass this "test."

Sounds like an angry man-hating dyke ragefit to me.

Dyke.

"Dykes to Watch Out For" was a damned funny strip sometimes.
