Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Has this been posted? The Side-Hug: Youth Group Puts Down Sinful "Front-Hugs" With Rap (VIDEO)

(Haven't watched the video yet.)

Christian youth groups finally have an alternative to normal, aka "front," hugs. As we all know, face to face embraces run the horrific risk of a clothed crotch graze. The Christian Side-Hug (or the CSH, as the kids call it) rids us of sin, as the only below the belt contact will be some good old-fashioned hip on hip action.

To help the side-hug fad sweep the nation, let us present this hardcore rap song. Yup, side-hugging has hit the streets. The group has as many emcees as the Wu-Tang Clan and as much power as a barbershop quartet.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

the horrific risk of a clothed crotch graze

What about the gratuitous boobie squish? That's much more salacious and nefarious, IME.

We learned that on Law & Order.

But L&O lets you submit fMRIs as evidence, and Wired said that's only been considered once. So maybe...just maybe...they take liberties.

But Executive ADA Cutter is allowed to take liberties with me anytime.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

Analysis: I think I just had a religious experience.

The artist formerly associated with cupcakes.

As my therapist once said, when I said much the same thing about a friend of mine, "Yes, but he's not you. Stop expecting people to think the way you do." That was a HUGE thing for me.

Can I please tattoo this on people's hands? Or maybe backwards on their foreheads? I have a list ...

I'm surrounded by such geeks. I've been hearing excited muttering for the past few minutes, with things like "trends" and "handle times", as someone who's gotten their hands on months of production numbers parses data. Finally, in an abased voice, "My wife would so be making fun of me right now. Me geeking out over a giant data set. She has no appreciation for giant data sets!" His neighbor: "She may have a point, dude."

Said neighbor, also a few minutes ago, generated a goodly thump and a muttered "ow." He just said to a new arrival: "Dude! Look what I found on my head!" New arrival: "Is that blood?" "Yeah! I should go to the bathroom."

Holidays with bored tech support people.

AHHHHHHHH I just got back from there and didn't think to look for them. Rats.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm going to have that Christian Side Hug song in my head for a while now. That shit's gangster!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

My favorite part of the Christian Side Hug rap is the line "or you'll be riding home in a coma!" Because I totally remember that part of the New Testament where Jesus hates hugs but advocates random acts of violence.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

Oh. My. Goodness.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

Because I totally remember that part of the New Testament where Jesus hates hugs but advocates random acts of violence.

Sure, Matthew 25:40.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as ye have gratuitously whapped the crap out of one of the least of these my brethren, ye have done it unto me.
