LOL yeah, as we say in the South, "I'd like to slap the taste right out of her mouth!"

Bentiss, drugs are bayad, nnnnkay.

Haha! I couldn't help myself. You can pretend that it's gross all you want, but please admit you at least chuckled...

Poop...Hahaha!

Oh, yes, Bentiss.....I chuckled. I have two sons, both still in diapers. I spend a significant portion of my day handling poop, and the rest of my day I spend talking or thinking about it. My toddler thinks farts are HIGH-larious, thanks to his dad. Boys will be boys. It's hard not to laugh when your 3 yr. old cracks up at his own farts.

I literally laughed out loud at the thought of your 3 year old farting...

BADASS!

I'm 25 and I've never thought a fart wasn't funny...It's the most universal form of comedy.

If I were to rip in front of a girl, she'd call me gross to my face...
But when she got home, she'd release the most helacious fart because she held it in all night...She'd then laugh hysterically at the irony!

What about penises? Not to sound like a perv, but have they started laughing at that yet? They really are funny in more ways than one...

[irretrievable]

Oh, yes. The penis is a constant source of humor in our house as well. It is so interesting to watch them discover it in such innocence. He'll say, "Mommy, look...it's BIIIIIIIG." How is that not funny?

If I were really evil, I'd get that on video tape to blackmail him when he's 17.

He is also obsessed with detailing verbally who has a penis and who does not. He says, "Mommy, you're a girl....you don't have a penis." I am terrified he's going to meet a stranger and say, "Do you have a penis?" It's a very real possibility.

If your girl hasn't farted in front of you, then you're obviously not married yet. Just wait.

What was this thread originally about? Oh yeah.....Juliet.....no penis.

I am not a taskmaster, BUT we should probably get this thread back on track, doncha think?

Relax, taskmaster!

Haha, I'll try to get it back on track...
I actually quite like Juliette and THINK she's a good guy.
Why am I so confident in thinking this?
Well, the flashbacks don't lie, and if you put yourself in Juliette's position, you'll understand her better.
She clearly doesn't like Ben much, she's called him a liar, he's keeping her there beyond her will. She REALLY wants to go home.
I think we're meant to feel sorry for her.
The only reason she does what Ben says is because she's in this terrible situation where if she doesn't then she will NEVER get home. Ben is the only person who can let people go to and from the island. She wants to get home so desperately, and so she will keep him as happy as possible, until she can be sent home. Or she will try to get rid of him and so the "new leader" can let her go home.
She misses her family so much, and so she will do anything to get back to them.
I'm fairly sure that she's more good than bad though...
As Jack said, she wants to get off the island as much as anyone, and so that makes her one of them...

[DestroyerofHatches]

The question you should end that paragraph is "Does she want to get off the island bad enough to screw over 40-some odd people she doesn't know?"
I would...in a heart beat.

I've never been a fan of Juliet from day 1, although I did defend her in a thread the other day which is unheard of from myself. That said I would have to dissagree with you about the flashbacks not lying.......take Mr Ecko.....god rest his soul.......his flashbacks showed how he was taken from his village as an innocent protecting his brother and moulded in to a gangster/warlord type, you are then lead to believe that he repented and gave his life to the Church in his brothers place.....but in the end he just used the Church for his own needs as we saw him kill the drug warlords in the church.......and then sell the medicine for the village to fund his trip abroad, all I'm saying is the flashbacks aren't always what they seem and they only show what they wan't you to know or what is relevant at the time.
