Daisy Chains

In tears.

What do you mean? I love daisy chains, still make them. What is it that kids do now?

haha... old news.

But new thread!

"As we understand it, it involves groups of older teenagers going round to each other's homes and having sex in a similar way as swinging." Sounds bloody dangerous to me. Push your partner away too quickly and you could be lifted off the ground by your tackle. Stand 1 inch out of line for the return and you get a two foot plank of wood in the old crown jewels. I'm staying with the see-saw. [%sig%]

Whatever happened to the missionary position?

I find it rather odd and sad that a children’s innocent term of making ‘daisy chains’, has been turned into a less innocent term by some git who couldn’t think of another word! Daisy chains will always be about the weedy flowers to me…

Or in this case, the weeds deflowering.

I doubt you could find a bunch of teens with the organizational skills to make something like that happen, unless it is a very short chain.

There's nothing new in this. I remember a gay colleague describing how daisy chains work back in the seventies.

But these are unhappy people.

In the 90s those of us in the 'development and assistance' racket in Poland used the phrase 'daisy chain of debt' to describe the nation's fiscal situation. In short, everyone owed everyone else and there had never been any intention of paying off the debts. It was a kind of Polish musical chairs. They're still trying to work down that situation.

I have seen ladybird chains in my garden. Beautiful.

Bit of a voyeur are you, milky?

Also in the paper. Our brightest Oxford undergrads threw themselves off the bridge in the traditional manner, not realising the water is rather low this year. The sight of our supposedly most intelligent kids being rescued (having suffered broken limbs) fills me with despair!

And me with hope!

i get you george but thy ARE cleverer than me

Two, obviously clever, students were discussing some deep mathematical theorum on the beach today... "If only we had a stick", said one "I would write it in the sand." Behind them a four year old girl was writing her name in the sand with her finger.

I saw the bridge jumpers on the news today. It's possible the first few of them didn't know it was "ebb tide," but there were supposedly 200-300 jumpers. They knew the problem; they just didn't care. And about 13 of them were carted off with major injuries. That's more of a ship of fools than a daisy chain, though.
