That's not the ATM version, this would be:
"...A woman told me it was too big for her. I know it's above average size but I'm worried it's too thick...."

"out of which you must get" deserves abuse. Do people really punch each other when they're angry? I don't think about punches when I'm enraged-- too hard on the knuckles, and not really damaging enough to the other guy.

7: as ttaM would tell you, "see this"/"see you"/"see me" is simply a preparatory exclamation which translates as "I am about to say something, so pay attention". "Hwaet" is probably a pretty good equivalent.

Disagree. No ex-roughneck would take punching seriously enough to think about it. Kicks, blunt objects, and the like are the way to go. Then you take his shoes, pissing on him is childish. Did I mention that our institutional re-org has not been completely smooth?

The main reason I don't believe this question is on the level is that men know that looking at a flaccid penis is really not a good way to compare sizes. If he said, "So I started jerking off this guy in the bathroom so we could compare ourselves while erect, and he tried to have sex with me! Can you believe it?" I'd believe him.

I'm joking, but seriously, do men really compare flaccid penises? Isn't this a flawed way of doing a comparison?

I've heard that men do this, but, IME, this is an absurd and unscientific way of doing a proper comparison. I believe the terms are "grow-er" and "show-er"?

AWB is quite right. In the classic bonding ritual, penises are lovingly massaged to maximum "impressiveness" before being compared. This guy is clearly an amateur.

Salon sez Ookie Cookie was the most worrisome rumor about pledge life? What lame school did this person go to? In my time (back when we walked uphill both ways to class) the KAs on campus were so widely thought to have carnal knowledge of sheep that when they sent their pledge class to the cafeteria to serenade a special someone, the spontaneous chorus of "BAAAA" drowned them out completely. Kidz these days.

28: The story I used to hear (about various frats, and probably not true) was that at the end of pledge week the brothers would bring all the pledges into a room with a goat, hand them a condom, say "you know what to do" and leave. The pledges would sit there for a while in fear and disgust, until finally one would decide to take one for the team and fuck the goat. Then the brothers would come back in, see what had happened, say "we don't want any goat-fuckers in our fraternity" and kick the poor guy out.
