He does not qualify for the military. He has a cyst in his nether regions (regions I don't like to think about).

for a week and came in on meth so he would 'not qualify'. You believe Rush, I simply do not.

You pretend that is not something that could be cured. To be fair, you should be.

I thought that was why he was disqualified?

And you are taking me very much more seriously than you should. I am bemused and distressed to see people thinking I am actually taking up for Limpy.

back in the medieval medical of the 60-70s
a chronic cyst condition was more serious then and meds had yet to be invented
now they have pills for what when I was much younger was a totally debilitating condition with no recourse except time and drainage
we really only have limpys word on what happened so.....
and I know you would never take up for him
maybe take off after him like with a torch but not take up for him
this is just a silly op I wish people would lighten up
you know what I mean?

it was a pretty specific term
I had forgotten it too but when I read your post it came to me
not so much a gay term as a term for pedophiles
unless there is yet another meaning I don't know

I would say it's definitely a gay term that gay men use to describe men who are into younger men, particularly smooth younger men of the "barely legal" variety.

I've never heard it used outside of a gay context or in a context that implied pedophilia.

I always heard it used in a manner that suggested sexually predatory behavior directed to young victims of either sex
so it would encompass what you see it to mean also
it is a term used to describe pimps waiting in an la bus station for young girls
getting off the bus to become actresses in a waumbaugh book
I think we have the same meaning

so now i wonder - do chickens act nervous and afraid? I guess they scare easily? The idea someone is not brave and chickens.

And if there really is a bird called the chicken hawk, what characteristics does it have? Does it attack chickens?

boils down to the idea that people might be more willing to commit the military when their own asses are not on the line - it would be of interest to have a system where those who currently would be in active duty got to vote! Though the problem there is being in the military, they might tend to want to go to war more than civilians would - some may be in it for that chance, and the advancement and benefits if you survive.

14. 3 types of hawks are chickenhawks
Sat Aug 31, 2013, 12:45 AM

most common and pictured above is the red tailed hawk
a most elegant and graceful bird
capable of dropping full speed from a clear blue sky to hit and kill most prey
they feed mostly on other birds and small rodents so they keep the crow, pigeon, and rat populations in check
they are called chickenhawks because they will when hungry enough actually take a chicken down in a barnyard
awesomely beautiful birds

but declines or declined the 'opportunity to serve' when presented to them

while republicans are more prominent members of this category, it has democrats as well
