US Politics, May 2023: May 1 never happened

i can't recall. is anal sex why the hat in 'fuck washing a hat' needed washing?

Nope. This board contains multitudes (of hat jokes)

I'm not sure 1 in 8 cis het men had heard of pegging in 2001.

the word was only invented in June 2001 so this seems a safe bet

doesn't someone in some American Pie-esque movie get pegged or something? Before the prevalence of the internet we all learned a lot from sitcom iirc

not-Stifler gets unexpectedly prostate-fingered at a sperm donation clinic in Road Trip (2000), because he thinks asking for assistance will result in a handie or blowjob iirc?, and is revealed to now be into it in the closing credits montage

on june 7, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is going to announce he's running for the GOP nomination for president of the united states!!!!!!!!

Make America North Dakota

Just when this thread was getting good

Burgmentum

I always thought it was called "pegging" because it seemed like the sort of sex act Peggy Hill would be into

If you knew Peggy Sue, then you'd know why I feel blue

And Buzzfeed is there with the history! https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/fancyfeast/what-is-pegging-pegtok-broad-city-pegging-episode

I waybacked the stranger to find out the month tbf

It's your favorite foreign movie

in 2001, fewer than 1 in 8 cishet guys were waybacking the stranger

waybacked

another strong contender, along with punted and bobbed

Wayback the Stranger-- deleted track from Pyromania

xp

lol sic ya beat me to it

The person who proposed it to Dan Savage explained it thusly:

Boy prostitutes were sometimes called peg boys because they would sit on pegs to keep their assholes open between clients, so I suggest the word "peg." The woman would be the "pegger", the boy would be the "peggee," the act would be "pegging," and the boy would write in his personal ad: "I want to get pegged."

wait what thread is this??

US Politics, June 2023: Sit On Pegs To Keep Their Assholes Open

Pegasaurus Ron

i was gonna post (in honor of Savage) a political comment involving both pegging and santorum and couldnt bring myself to it

on june 7, North Dakota Gov. Doug Burgum is going to announce he's running for the GOP nomination for president of the united states!!!!!!!!

Instantly imagined a campaign T-shirt ripping off the Filosofem cover art, but I'm too lazy to bother creating it, especially since the guy's campaign is dead in the water no matter what.

If you can't beat 'em, Burgum

BURGUM / BUTTIGIEG 2024

The Bi-Partisan Ticket

Makin’ America Peg Again!

Boy prostitutes were sometimes called peg boys because they would sit on pegs to keep their assholes open between clients

This has to be a myth, right?

I saw Pegboy once... dudes from Nayked Raygun I believe.

the guitarist in my band got a pegboy cap at fest a few years ago and i love it when he wears it

This thread sure took a turn (sorry, a wayback)

It's your favorite foreign movie

Underrated post.

if we lived in a utopia the us politics thread would always be about pegging

I'm just a poor waybacking stranger

Have we talked about Michael Flynn's amazing new scam?

https://www.businessinsider.com/michael-flynn-launches-4thepure-online-website-covid-19-unvaccinated-people-2023-5

A very-fashy dating service/blood bank/sperm bank/breast milk bank for COVID-unvaccinated people only. What do you want to bet Flynn's donating his own sperm?

Watched a bit of the Texas AG impeachment presentation, this corrupt asshole who has been under indictment for close to a decade is so not going to get convicted.

I should note, not going to get impeached despite the recommendation of a bunch of Republicans.

oh shit, I guess it did happen after all! I have been watching, but then set the computer down for a while.

I was about to say, his supporters mouthed off but then they were absolutely crushed in the vote.

I was surprised by that vote too, I figured they'd impeach him but I assumed it would be a razor-thin margin

but the whole thing is utterly mystifying... why now?

Yeah I feel like we haven’t gotten anywhere near the full story

The Texas legislature's heart grew three sizes

It’s the same cocaine orgies that brought Madison Cawthorn down

Maybe they want to get ahead of more scandals that haven't gotten out yet

It's purely because he's an asshole and not a team player who can be replaced by someone with his exact politics who's less of an asshole to fellow Republicans.

What’s this about? Haven’t been paying attention.
