Saotome

I know that security is a major issue in this country, but I am still glad I never fly anywhere. This kind of stuff just freaks me out about it.

I'm not sure how well received this will be, but when my friend told me about this I just couldn't believe it. Even after I saw the video I was still in shock. http://abcnews.go.com/Primetime/story?id=1297922&page=1 Basically this girl working at McDonalds was working a shift when a guy calls on the phone claiming to be a cop. He tells the manager that the girl working there is suspected of stealing a purse and that he would like the manager to search the employee. As time goes on (about 3 hours or so) the girl is forced to strip, do exercises, be spanked by the managers fiance among other things. The most shocking part of it (aside that the manager actually agreed to do all this) is where the calls were coming from. I reccommend reading the article for the whole story, but this is definitely creepy stuff.

Not sure the relevance, but I thought I might add this to the airport security discussion. This was taken from usa today's website. Air travelers stripped bare with X-ray machine By Thomas Frank, USA TODAY The agency in charge of the nation's air security expects later this year to begin using a controversial X-ray machine that will show airport screeners a clear picture of what's under passengers' clothes — whether weapons or just bare skin. Screeners plan to test the "backscatter" machines at several U.S. airports, the Transportation Security Administration (TSA) says. The refrigerator-sized machines are considered a breakthrough in scanning technology but have been labeled "a virtual strip search" by the American Civil Liberties Union Security workers using the machines can see through clothes and peer at whatever may be hidden in undergarments, shirts or pants. The images also paint a revealing picture of a person's nude body. The devices can potentially be used to screen hundreds of millions of air travelers each year, although TSA says more study is needed to determine how the devices may be used at U.S. airports. The agency declined to say when and where it expects to test the machines. Backscatter technology has been waiting on the sidelines for nearly four years but seems poised now to move to the forefront of aviation security. The machines are already used by U.S. Customs agents at 12 airports to screen passengers suspected of carrying drugs. They're also getting a test run at a terminal in London Heathrow Airport, the first major airport to use them. The ACLU says the scanners invade personal privacy. "This leads directly to a surveillance society," says Barry Steinhardt, who runs the group's technology program. But Homeland Security Secretary Michael Chertoff told a Senate subcommittee last month that he wants to employ the technology and doesn't want an "endless debate" over privacy issues. Security consultant Douglas Laird says the machines are essential to spot explosives, which aren't detected by metal detectors. The $100,000 machines bounce low-radiation X-rays off a person's skin to produce photo-like computer images of metal, plastic and organic materials hidden under clothes, says American Science and Engineering.

Man do I have great news for a lot of you. For those who want to play board games together try this site... http://games.atari.com/playgames/home.jsp A lot of games that are mentioned here can be played there. Just register and then meet your friends there. As for my favorite board games Nightmare and Scrabble are probably my favorites.

Who knows. I mean anything is possible right? Personally I think it's something new for hollywood to look at and use for shock value or jokes. I mean look at the history of Tv. Back then you couldn't even have a man and wife in the same bed. Few years ago being gay on Tv was a taboo subject as well. I really think they are just looking for the next big thing to get a reaction. Though on a postive note, the first two things are easily accepted as commonplace on tv and movies anymore. Maybe more exposure might show ab/dl's as an ok thing to the public eye?

Ok episode is done now basically what happened is the Grifffins were forced to leave their home and went to Quagmires house. He answered the door like I said, in a bonnet and a diaper with a pacifier around his neck. Lots of other things in this scene including a woman in her underwear riding a donkey and a naked guy on a tractor. Think that was about right.

Well, it appears the people over at the Family Guy factory are at it again. Tonights episode appears to have a scene with Quagmire in a bonnet and a diaper answering his front door. Episode hasn't aired yet, but commercial for it clearly showed this scene. Keep an eye out.

We so need to make a campaign for online players on this site Kanji.... On topic though, a locked footlocker works for us.

Welcome to the site. Good to see another Texan here. Hope you find this place as great as I do.

Wow and I thought I was the only one here that spent so much time back in the early days RPing in Aol chat rooms. Got old though when everybody was playing the "I'm dark and cold, hate the world Bad-a**, orphaned vampire, I carry this super huge sword to remind myself of the weight of the world on my back, and the guns at my side remind the ladies of the firepower I pack below the waist" type of character. I never even bothered to try the role play and stuck mainly to "roll" play just so I wouldn't have to watch this guy dodge everyone in the bars attacks and instantly kill the entire room with the fire breath his dragon heritage bestowed upon him. :Quietly shuts off the light in his post and whispers a quiet: "Farewell"

Heh, unfortunately I can't do those kind of things. I live in Texas so it's near impossible to see the Pats ever play and as for baseball it is way too slow for me to actually attend a game. I'd rather watch it on TV where I can switch between different shows and just come back to check the scores later. As for Diaperdragon I apologize for hijacking your thread. Oops. Sorry about that. It's all yours again. Hehe.

Ah a post about New England and nothing about the Patriots Heh, anyway welcome to the site.

Hey welcome to the site. Hope you continue to enjoy it here.

Mine comes from an anime called Ranma 1/2. The main character is this 16 year old boy named Ranma Saotome who is very well trained in martial arts. His father takes him to the cursed springs of jusenkyo to train when they both fall in small pools of water. They are both cursed at this point and when they are splashed with cold water the father becomes a giant panda bear and Ranma becomes a girl. Hot water changes them back, but sometimes it's not always easy to do. If you watch the show enough you will understand. This series is very funny and for those who enjoy anime I'd recommend giving it a try. The creator of this series is the same one who did Inuyasha for those who are familiar with that one.

I told my wife before we were married. I didn't feel like it would be fair for me to hide it from her and trick her into marriage first so to speak. She was ok with it, but we didn't actually act on it until much later. The first time I convinced her to wear I had to wear one with her to relax her, but now she is just willing to do it on her own.

Professional poker player, in training. Not kidding. No TV appearances yet though.

Oh I agree whole heartedly, but it seems to me there are those who are just competitive in nature on the boards. It would be interesting to see in any case.

I kinda worry about internal awards. I tend to think there will be big debates over who should win in a popularity contest. I mean then again best website could really break down into nothing more than an ad fest of links. Maybe I am pessimistic about stuff like this? I don't know, I think just posting what everyone likes without turning it into some kind of contest might be productive. Though I guess if it were moderated or maybe just a straight poll with no posts it might work.

Welcome to DD! I know you will definitely have ample opportunities to meet people here so you really picked a good place to visit. Enjoy your time here.

Well, in any situation I have no intentions whatsoever of introducing my children to this lifestyle my main concern is if I should stop altogether or just try and hide it and such. In either situation I need to get a lock on my bedroom door since the apartment doesn't have any for the bedrooms. The safe idea is a really good one because even if someone does find it I could just lie (although everyone around me knows I despise guns so that wouldn't work so well hehe). Right now I have a foot locker with a lock on the front and the only key is on my key chain with my car keys that I used for our things. I just know my family wouldn't understand if they found our things. I tried to explain my.. uh desire..once to my mom when I was a teen (she is a nurse and basically just asked if I had any questions about sex in general, you know "the talk") I could tell she wasn't ready for it at all. I almost think she would have been more relieved to hear that I was gay rather than that. (No offense to those who are of course) Anyway thanks for the advice, I know my wife and I have a lot more talks about this and many other things involving the kids in the coming months.

I would spoil my niece and nephew first then I would pay my bills. Probably get 2 new cars 1 for each of us, a new computer and new TVs in every bedroom. I'd also donate a big chunk to a research foundation that is trying to learn more about O.I. After that it gets split between the family.

Have to follow along the paranoia line here. Traveled across town away from where I lived to avoid people I knew, co-workers, family and so on. When I actually went in to buy them I put $40 in my shirt pocket along with a sheet of paper with a pretend list of items. Then I picked up some useless items for myself ( I think a phone cord, greeting card, and some candy) and paid with smaller bills from my wallet so it would look like I was shopping for 2 people. A bit drastic, but felt a little less nervous doing it that way. That was back when I wasn't married so I experimented alone. It's not so bad now, but then again I buy them in a smaller size (for my wife) so it's obvious it's not for me.

Welcome to the group. Hope you enjoy your stay and hope you find many friends along the way.

First off, I hope I am posting this in the right forum. Anyway, I have been wondering lately about some things and just curious how other people handled the situation. My wife and I have been talking more and more lately about having children and while I want them more than anything in the world at this point (well aside from my wife, heh) I am worried about how to handle my situation with the diapers. I'm not sure if I should completely stop with the bedroom games, or just be discreet with it. Some of my fears are if my children grow up and wonder why mommy is dressed like them by accident, or my family (who I assume will visit more often) maybe finding something in our room. Right now they don't visit here at all to be honest so it isn't a concern at the moment. Basically, I am just curious how other parents handled the situation and maybe get some suggestions on what I could do to deal with this. Thanks
