(MFE, D) The PBH Voluntary Code of Conduct to Protect Womenfolk and Youth

These days, even video games are rated G, PG, AA and R.

Some of the postings on PBH are juvenile, sarcastic and abrasive. That's fine for men. But these frank discussions are needlessly scaring away sensitive and civilized womenfolk and scarring our youth (just psychologically -- not like morphus offering them minisigui at his place cerca de aquí).

Not everyone wants to read some batshit insane political rant or join some flame war. So, I propose a voluntary system of thread labelling, similar to movie ratings, so that people can more easily skip these useless topics and learn about Colombia. I'm also getting tired of having moderators call me up at three in the morning -- crying that they had to delete another useless and thread, but were called nasty names and felt bad.

All YOU have to do to restore dignity and sanity to PBH is to use the Voluntary Code of Conduct to provide fair and ample warning to those who might get infected from its bilious and scirrhous content. Before the thread title, simply put one of the following codes in brackets. Youth and womenfolk will then now whether they should avoid this thread and protect their innocence.

I would appreciate your feedback, and advice on other possible codes.

(T1) This thread was written by an anonymous troll. It is by a "Colombian university student looking to meet gringos" who has been on PBH for four minutes and has a user name composed of eight random letters thoughfully chosen by mashing "sgjhdhjt" on the keyboard.

(T2) This thread was written by troll well known to the PBH community, including friends and Dopplegangers of ColombiaMike, Don Gringo, Pow Wow and other familiar faces.

(MFE) My freaking ears! This thread contains offensive words like "batshit".

(CPR) Crazy political rant. This thread discusses Jewish cabals, how Rosie O'Donnell is causing the decline and fall of American society, how paramilitaries are good for Colombia or other rants which would be considered extraordinary outside of the US or Colombia.

(D) This thread is understood to have a disclaimer, allowing the poster to say potential offensive stuff that is clearly "just a joke" -- Lighten up!

(EM) This thread is by Elmodefoque and may contain references to, or music by, Diomedes Diaz.

(MP1) This thread is written on behalf of Colombians everywhere. You just wouldn't understand.

(OBC) Old boys club. This thread is about topics womenfolk and youth may find sensitive, or even really, really, REALLY boring.

(WF) This thread discusses issues of particular interest to womenfolk -- be it telenovelas, hygiene or pilates.

(DR) This thread contains Drug References which are irrelevant to most people since there are no drugs in Colombia.

(V) Violence. You might be thinking of another country that contains violence. Did you try asking Old Man Venezuela?

(FW) This thread contains five pages of flame war, arguing about whether a football game is or isn't a good analogy for Colombian society.

(CP) Common people. This thread discusses topics regarding humble folks who pay lower than average utility bills. There is no elitism in Colombia -- hence this thread should also be rated G.

(G) Gringo thread. This thread contains gringo impressions which are unreliable and dangerous. It may discuss personal safety, why Colombians are perfect, novias, how to use estratos to discriminate, escopolamina or other issues irrelevant to Colombians.

(N/CPH) Nudity/Cell phone holding. This thread contains graphic pictures that may be unsuitable or may contain cell phones. Viewer discretion is advised.

(UTC) This thread may contain brujería.

(PBsH) This thread contains more than eight of the above categories. Gringos are too lazy to write down ALL of them.

(W) Whiny thread, about a deleted thread or some other issue regarding moderators, burundanga, or being stabbed.

I welcome other suggestions. ;)

Bravo Best thing written on PBH in months.

Man Tequila says on Apr 23, 2007, 16:55:

(2C) This post is too Colombian for you to understand. Also this board is not really Colombian enough for such a posting, but it is here since the poster is slumming, educating and/or condescending.

I gotta hand it to you - that was amusing.

Disclaimer: any comment I make is inane and is not to be taken seriously, and is so patently ridiculous that no one should take it seriously, even as an insult.

Man Tequila says on Apr 24, 2007, 01:13:

(PG) This thread is mocking pasty gringos, so norms regarding attacking the poster etc. may be waived for this thread

(BS) It is understood the average thread contains a decent helping of bullshit. This thread contains nothing else.

(BB) The photos in this thread have been edited with a black box so that people may retain a degree of anonymity when visiting innocent discos where there are 20 attractive girls for every guy, go figure.

I don't know about you Man Tequila It looks like you've got too much time in your hands at the E.R. Or have seen too few patients today to leave you all that energy to reform this forum.

You're pretty entertaining, though.

Man Tequila says on Jun 3, 2007, 16:20:

(GT) This thread is for gringo tourists by expert Colombians living in Colombia who know everything about the place and wish to educate ignorant gringos on the serious dangers of over-tipping

"(WF) This thread discusses issues of particular interest to womenfolk -- be it telenovelas, hygiene or pilates."

I am so offended!.....

What about food and recipes, spa's, beauty tips, footballer and soldier pics (jeje) ? Clothes, how to impress the in laws in Colombia, personal problems, music and dance etc etc

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 10:14:

This thread was written way back when at the same time as the popular thread "Women on PBH" which argued the perceived lack of female contributiors here was due to the abrasive and immature nature of everybody else. This is probably true.

Most guys like to eat too. I like to cook more than most Colombians I have met. Spas, beauty tips and personal problems fall under the basic category of "hygiene". In-laws might well find pilates impressive. Soldier pics seem to be chiefly of interest to Vup and Colombia_Mike, but whatever floats your boat. There would be no Colombia without music and dance.

This pretty much leaves telenovelas, hygiene and pilates. But you're right; if there was a women's zone here, podborski would never get off the damn computer and finish his hotel.

Hmm I wont even try imagine what....but I'd like to specify not just any uniform (firefighter and police is so so) but colombian soldier ones. Thanks

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 10:40:

OK. Telenovelas, hygiene, Colombian soldiers doing pilates, shiny things. I said in my first post that I am open to suggestions, and want nothing better than to give youth and womenfolk here a place of refuge from the madding crowd. Keep your ideas coming!

LA_MONA says on Jul 28, 2007, 10:45:

Child rearing and fertility, knitting (?), love and romance, yes they are things that interest men too but somewhere we can discuss it in womens terms without having to explain what we mean or defend it....you know? Anyway just a quiet womens corner would do...

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

Man Tequila says on Jul 28, 2007, 10:58:

Seems fair enough. I'd wager even podborski, MC and goin_south would stay away from a thread about knitting (but not picking nits). You could use that as a cover to spin yarns about child frearing, fertility, romance and Colombian soldiers doing pilates while wearing uniforms with shiny buttons. ;) 'Course you'll have to keep the thread count down to avoid attracting suspicion. A wise person once said "la mona me queda pero viste en seda jajaja" but even silk suffers when the thread count is low.

LA_MONA says on Jul 28, 2007, 11:06:

La Mona, aunque se viste de seda, mona se queda jajaja

Yeah we could have knitting titles like "Mastering the cross stitch" or "Quilt crocheting" and then sneak in the pics, advice and nutritional tips in the comment boxes oops better stop giving the game away....

Now where can I find some decent soldier foto's..

why can't the freakin Chung King Chinese just LEAVE THE FREAKN DOLLY LLAMA and Tibet ... ALONE!

Sorry to say I've heard you had a rough week, pod. Keep your chin up, it'll come out in the wash. Under the circumstances I guess I can hardly blame you for staying on the damn computer... Heck, I've spent as much time on it today as an MC or Vup. ;)

podborski says on Jul 28, 2007, 15:54:

Thanks man t, at least the week ended well, I met some more neighbours, a really nice couple who are thinking of doing a boutique hotel too.

So I took them for a tour of my place, and told them NOT to use my architects, jaja.

They invited me to their house for dinner next week. They were so polite, latin people just seem to say things in such a flowery, elegant way, you know?

It's funny, I meet some of the most arrogant people I've ever met here, and also some of the very nicest. Colombia is a bit like that too (although I have not met too many of the arrogant type there).

Anyway, off to try a new restaurant tonight, Peruvian. I came across it today while wandering around looking for antiques. Might have to report the results tomorrow on the Argentina thread!

have a good one, hasta manana

Men of leisure wear leisure suits, as is my understanding. =)

I can't wait 'til I am retired so I can count my money and eat 24 blackbirds baked in a pie. I got the joke. But livefree's comment was skeevy, and I guess I didn't ultimately understand if being a man of leisure meant you needed a 12 step program or just psychotherapy. On that note, nice to see you back, hopper!

Miguel_Clavo says on Jul 28, 2007, 19:29:

"I have no idea what men of leisure do, but it sounds kind of skeevy."

not sure how this was directed toward UTC and not moi, but you still need to let me know what skeevy means? it is not in any of my dictionaries, and you know if it becomes my new word of the day,i just might have to use it several times, to your annoyance. =)...

To men of leisure, every day is a Saturday....they have no use for alarms clocks, no reoccurring episodes of road rage, life is just grand......Work hard, then its time to play hard....i am just happy to have made it here, when many of my friends did not....

Thanks for the link, doc....another word in the database..=)

but the clothes in those photos of the Three Amigos dont really look like Leisure Suits...more like what they morphed into at a later time...those photos are .more like the "hippies of Haight-Ashbury" or the Mod Squad cops....

Leisure suits, the Love generation, and the hippies times were way before my time....

Leisure suit
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Jump to: navigation, search
A leisure suit is a fashion of the 1970s, consisting of a shirtlike jacket and matching pants [1] usually made of stretchable double knit polyester. It is often considered emblematic of the era's alleged bad taste in men's clothing.

Man Tequila hope your idea works..I have noticed lately less comments from the females here. And sadly has been replaced by more garbage talk about Colombian women from the guys. It is nice to see the female perspective on things once and awhile and hope it continues. Although as a man sometimes I just can't agree with the other perspective soemtimes jajajaja

This topic reminds me of my years working in Labor Relations. I was the only female on the management side of the table. The union officials made it a point to not swear in front of me. I will never forget the day the president once had an outburst in a meeting and swore at management...during the break he apologized to me (not any of the men) for his language. They were always very respectful of women, although they really didn't have to be in front of me. I wasn't offended, nor do I find the posts here in PBH offensive. It's kind of fun looking into the minds of you guys. My two cents on the matter.

Man Tequila says on Jul 30, 2007, 23:04:

I like it when the (possibly somewhat) offensive posts get edited out. Rereading the new thread makes me sound even more disjointed and confused than usual... I find very few of the PBH posts offensive, but a few of them are skeevy. Some of them are scatalogical. Some of them are jingoistic. Some are batrachivorous. And a few are batshit insane.

But for the life of me..it's very, very hard to understand.

I'd be happy to chat about the wonderfulness of women anytime mona, but maybe it would be best to wait until I have a real one (rather than,say, my internet gf kat) within reach?

Otherwise it would be even more torture than you guys (I use that term very loosely) are inflicting on me with all your photos and flirting : )

In that case, maybe the thread should be the hypothetical wonderfulness of women? Although I think the women of PBH are REAL and not hypothetical. ;-) Or maybe the wonderfulness of PBH women? We can sure come up with lots of fun threads!

Man Tequila says on Aug 1, 2007, 07:05:

Although the wonderfulness of women is not hypothetical, there is nothing wrong with pilates, telenovelas and good hygiene. Not telenovelas about plates and good hygiene.

houstongal says on Aug 2, 2007, 16:20:

I prefer yoga though. Hey....GS and I added comments last night and I see they disappeared! I guess they were sucked into the black hole that Peter warned us about!

goin_south says on Aug 2, 2007, 16:44:

I thought maybe it was for some GOD AWEFUL reason... against the rules all of a sudden to proclaim women as ILLUMINARIES..... Like I was saying something demeaning about their 'light ovaries' or something ;))

Maybe Peter is involved with some slow, black magic. (Why is Magic Black?)

why can't the freakin Chung King Chinese just LEAVE THE FREAKN DOLLY LLAMA and Tibet ... ALONE!

Man Tequila says on Aug 2, 2007, 17:10:

I made a comment about dicey websites that might have crossed the line of decorum. I just assumed it was censored, but maybe it was a black hole.

houstongal says on Aug 2, 2007, 19:08:

Nah, it was that black hole called moving PBH from one server to another. These things happen. So let's turn back the clock and recreate what was lost....GS proclaimed PBH women as illuminaries and I said that PBH women shine brightly because of love in their hearts. :-)

Man Tequila says on Aug 2, 2007, 19:15:

I also said that women like shiny things. ;)

houstongal says on Aug 2, 2007, 19:40:

Maybe that's why we like shiny things. Better to reflect off of?!

El Shining? I want what he's drinking.

hmmm I know a couple of colombianas who have everything, except an illuminated bra.

You know, this has me thinking...

Man Tequila says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:31:

Shhhhhhh. Illuminaries.

Kalders pasties are filled with skirt steak, onion, potato and large swedes.

Miguel_Clavo says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:36:

too many calories for me, doc.....that stuff will kill me......but illuminaries wont....=) ..and no calories.....

LOL!! I want one of those!!! I was shopping today and didn't see one of those. Hey wait....I'm in Michigan right now and they have meat filled pasties here (but they add rutabagas in theirs). I guess I'll have to settle for a non-illuminated pastie. Thanks for the idea MT! Now I have something to do tomorrow (other than work!).

man t has the website to order one hg! PLEASE order one and report back to us.

I'm thinking a trip to Bogotá with 4 or 5 of these in my suitcase could make for very interesting times.

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:52:

Yeah pod...I'll order one and bring it to BsAs in December to show it to ya! ;-)

podborski says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:54:

I'm looking forward to that!

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:55:

Hey MT...I like the hot pink one with the feathers better! Women not only like shiny things, but soft feathery/furry things as well! Like cats!

podborski says on Aug 4, 2007, 18:57:

hey I just tried to see how much they cost, the only price I saw for the really cool ones, not the tacky ones with a few lights added on top, was $600!

So much for buying 4 or 5 of those. But I still might buy one, but none of this 34B stuff, it's C or nothing!

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 19:27:

The feather ones were $90, which isn't too bad. Would be cool for a party. So you're a boob-man pod? Sorry, I'm lacking in that department!

Man Tequila says on Aug 4, 2007, 19:35:

That $90 could still get you an awful lot of attention in Colombia, though. ;)

Cats and feathers are neither shiny, nor telenovela, nor hygenic, nor pilates, nor uniformed. Except these feathers are shiny. I'm just going to assume that cats are "pilates".

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 19:38:

LOL! I'm picturing my cats doing pilates! BTW - there are cat photos on my profile. My cats and Lauthra's. It's turning out to be the crazy cat lady page (i.e., the crazy lady on the Simpsons).

I still think that's a really cool bra! And I love the hot pink color!

goin_south says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:05:

You'd need protection, Hg, wearing that in Colombia! jejje

why can't the freakin Chung King Chinese just LEAVE THE FREAKN DOLLY LLAMA and Tibet ... ALONE!

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:07:

GS - It's better suited for the hot Houston weather, not Bogota weather! And I know what you're referring to. Very funny!

Man Tequila says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:09:

Cat pilates.

This picture is from Flickr. Following the picture are several pages of discussion along the lines of "Oh, what a wellfed satisfied puss". And I thought most of the freaks were here. ;)

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:15:

OMG!!! That is hysterical! That is one overweight kitty! My vet would be scolding his owner and putting that cat on a diet. As for a "satisfied puss".... I'm not even going there! jaja! What a Saturday night!

goin_south says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:19:

And, she doesn't even drink!
Mus be the cleaner air of Michigan gettin to her.
Was the top down?
(No; not yours!)

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:24:

It must be the fact that I can have the windows open and enjoy fresh air versus the A/C. I'm not going to want to go back to TX in 2 weeks if this weather keeps up!

GS - I never said that I don't drink. I just have to be careful when I do. I had 2 big glasses of wine last night and was feeling pretty good when I got home. Nothing tonight though. Should've picked up a bottle, but it's no fun drinking alone!

goin_south says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:31:

you wouldn't be drinking alone :)
There's always your friends on pbh;
man Tequila seems 'especially' inspired tonight ;)

houstongal says on Aug 4, 2007, 20:35:

I agree! His humor is quite sharp tonight.

Now wouldn't that be fun...having a virtual party on PBH one evening. Drinking, writing, being stupid, etc. Maybe Peter would allow us to create a post to have our virtual party. I'm not doing anything next Saturday night (as far as I know...there's only so much excitement here in mid-Michigan) so if anyone else is game, I suggest we have a virtual party!

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 06:27:

I'm not a boob man hg, I'm an everything man. It's all good.

and a happy sunday morning to all!

houstongal says on Aug 5, 2007, 09:35:

Todo man....I see. That's good! Especially when boob jobs are so commonplace.

And yes, a happy mid-Sunday to y'all. Hope you've all recovered from whatever it was that you were drinking last night.

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 10:46:

you can call me todo podo from now on.

I am surprisingly not hung over today...maybe because I stopped drinking about midnight but stayed up until 3 or was it 4?

I like the virtual party idea, and then one day we'll have to have a real live one and see how it compares. I suspect the real life behaviour would be much more inhibited and, can I say, mature?

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 10:48:

todo podo, I think that's a good one for ya!

Happy Sunday everyone!

hey your spanish is improving in leaps and bounds, well done! Especially your "piropos"!

Todo poderoso? I think we should leave that title to Dios? Besides Todo Podo sounds funnier don't ya think?...better than i-pod as G_S calls you...

Nojoooooda.

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:10:

Are you the one teaching him the piropos? The other night you told him the words from a song to say goodnight with....and told him the colombiana's love it....I think you are teaching him alot...

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:17:

Yo??!! Yo??!! hablo paja???!! En serio??!!

Nunca. De verdad, mi nombre debe ser 'Angel'.

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:18:

man t is my guru.

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:22:

Todo-Angel? Pod-Angel?

You are an angel? Yeah right.....just remember I have my eyes on you and Kat is going to hear it when she get's back....

Yes so I see Man t is giving you a crash course lesson in flirting and piropos...maybe Kat would classify him as bad company?

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:25:

I'm not teaching Todo Podo pirobos. What could I teach Steve McQueen? The Colombianas do like Carlos Vives, y qué? I did teach Paja the weight of a human head. And frankly, that is making me feel a little nervous. I'm not sure I want to know how he became proficient with the drawknife. If anything, Podo is teaching me pirobos. People think I chose my name to butter people up or because I like Jose Cuervo. But I'm liking Muñequita... Muñequita... Muñtequita... Muñ Tequila... On second thought, maybe I am inspiring Pod. That REALLY gives me the heebie-jeebies! I'm really hoping Pod did not pick up his pirobos from any dicey websites. ;)

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:27:

I know very little about flirting and pirobos. The bad company thing is probably true. Pod is starting to freak me out. ;)

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:29:

M_t dios mio porobo nooooo. piropos! You know too many swearwords!

"People think I chose my name to butter people up or because I like Jose Cuervo. But I'm liking Muñequita... Muñequita... Muñtequita... Muñ Tequila..." jajaja I think he was calling ME muñequita but go ahead you can take it if you like it so much...

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:29:

Pirobo - swearword
Piropo- a flirty comment, a compliment etc

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:30:

well kat just up and left, here I am, solito...

If she was around to look after me I would'nt be forced to flirt, but noooo, she's off galavanting around colombia

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:32:

I do not want it. I have no doubts La_Mona and HoustonGal are the real muñequitas. I just, once again, do NOT want to know the thought process behind the piropo. When was the last time someone asked YOU what the weight of a human head was?

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:33:

I said I know very little about pirobos. Butter does not melt in my mouth, señorita.

Kat has a lot of nerve doing all that galavanting.

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:38:

tranqilo man t, now clearly the munequitA was aimed at mi monaquita,

If you ever see me use the word 'munequitO' I can assure you it will be a typo.

the whole drawknife thing was just to make sure no one could question my masculinity after telling everyone that I like a certain pink drink, you know like John Candy and Steve Martin after the 'pillow' scene in trains, planes and automobiles.

Sure glad we cleared all that up!

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:38:

Jajaja the weight of a human head? And the answer is....

Man t glad to know you don't know much about them......

Pod- come on you can't even wait for a month or two? But wait even when she was here you were still flirting with the other's.....the fact she is on holiday "galavanting" is just an excuse!

Hablar paja... to talk bullsh*t

Lots of great words here: http://www.barranquilla-online.com/BOL/diccio.html

Did you ever find out what qué sal meant? Nalgas y naranjas!

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:40:

Hey Pod I just looked up the meaning for metrosexual and it says a man who is in touch with his feminine side or one who weeps during "sleepless in seattle" what's wrong with that?

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:42:

I didn't cry at Sleepless in Seattle, nor at the end of Cinema Paradiso, I just have a runny nose.

podborski says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:43:

Thañks!

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:44:

Glad to hear that, Pod. A human head weighs 5 kilos.

He says we're going the wrong way...
Oh, he's drunk. How would he know where we're going?

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:48:

Man t you like talking in riddles don't you?

When you say "que sal" do you mean as in "salado/a" when a person is unlucky, foe example like Pod jajaja

Just joking pod you probably have like 5 argentinas after you...

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:48:

I didn't even stay awake during Sleepless in Seattle. I asked for my money back, since I saw the movie in Seattle. I'm not sleepless! This is flagrant false advertising!

(OK, I haven't seen the movie. Shoot me. Just don't cut my head off with that drawknife gizmo.)

LA_MONA says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:49:

Well I certainly didn't cry and usually I cry just watching the news!

Para volar, es preciso tener resistencia. -M.Lin

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:51:

That would make sense, I guess. In Argentina, they just say "que sal" and they probably mean "estoy salado".

I am unlucky in love, like pod. I spend too much time working and too much time here. I also swear at women when I really want to flatter them. "But muñeca, it's a pirobo!"

Man Tequila says on Aug 5, 2007, 11:53:

So if you watch "The Crying Game" and didn't cry, then you can understand how upset I would have theoretically felt if I had fallen asleep in Seattle during a certain movie I have not seen! Righteous anger!
