There was a meme making the rounds (again) a few weeks ago that had my circle of friends laughing so hard we almost cried. It involved a euphemism I had NEVER heard before (and as a middle- and high-school sexuality educator I really DID believe I’d heard them all) and led eventually to, as so many things do with me… music. Grab your favorite beverage and join us below the story break after a word from our sponsor! Please drink responsibly- do NOT read and drink simultaneously because snorting beverages through your nose hurts and spit-takes ruin monitors.
Here at Top Comments we welcome longtime as well as brand new Daily Kos readers to join us at 10pm Eastern. We strive to nourish community by rounding up some of the site's best, funniest, most mojo'd & most informative commentary, and we depend on your help!! If you see a comment by another Kossack that deserves wider recognition, please send it either to topcomments at gmail or to the Top Comments group mailbox by 9:30pm Eastern. Please please please include a few words about why you sent it in as well as your user name (even if you think we know it already :-)), so we can credit you with the find!
We had a variety of responses to this (besides uncontrollable laughter that made us snort our beverages, which is why I included that warning up above the fold!):
- Umm. It literally is EXACTLY for pleasure, self or otherwise.
- To paraphrase a friend’s response: “And to think all this time, I’d been giving credit to that deadbeat uterus of mine.”
- If you feel like garbage afterwards, you are definitely doing it wrong!
- They’re not bad chemicals. Quite the opposite.
In the course of laughing ourselves silly, we began naming songs that came to mind. My apologies in advance to you for never, ever being able to hear them the same way again. Please add to the list in the comments!
- Ring My Bell — Anita Ward The night is young / And full of possibilities / Well, come on and let yourself be free
- The Devil Went Down to Georgia — Charlie Daniels Band So if we ring the doorbell and the Devil answers, we’re in Atlanta?
- The Bells — Venus Hum ”I ache to hear the bells… “ Well it’s a good thing you can do something about that :)
- Hells Bells — AC/DC Well, where else would those bells be?
- Sound of the Bell — Veruca Salt “Every time is sweeter than the last. Once you get a taste of impact, you're always hungry for the crash.”
And of course, these two...
- She Bop — Cyndi Lauper Because really, this is what the entire song is about.
- I Touch Myself — Divinyls The OTHER song that was all about That.
I know what you really come here for, and it’s not the Doorbell (umm.. right?). It’s the trio of Top Comments, Mojo and Pictures that are the backbone of this longrunning community diary series!
TOP COMMENTS
Brillig's ObDisclaimer: The decision to publish each nomination lies with the evening's Diarist and/or Comment Formatter. My evenings at the helm, I try reeeeallllyy hard to publish everything without regard to content. I really do, even when I disagree personally with any given nomination. "TopCommentness" lies in the eyes of the nominator and of you, the reader - I leave the decision to you. I do not publish self-nominations (ie your own comments) and if I ruled the world, we'd all build community, supporting and uplifting instead of tearing our fellow Kossacks down. Please remember that comment inclusion in Top Comments does not constitute support or endorsement by diarist, formatter, Top Comments writers or DailyKos. Questions, complaints or comments?

From MikeTheLiberal:
So, in Susan Grigsby’s diary, Because [Dotard] is too stupid to know just how stupid he is (no, I won’t type his name), I made an offhand remark that, “I’m smart; I’m smart enough to know how little I really know. :)” and then proceeded with my busy day.
That was a mistake, because I missed a great reply from lartwielder, and then another great one from Captain Frogbert. Both of these are excellent examples of the uphill battle we face when trying to turn people to our point of view. They should have been in Sunday’s top comments, but I’m hopeful they may make it into Monday’s. [and here they are! — brillig]
From dewtx:
This comment by RepublicanKos in reply to mikepridmore’s about the Parkland student’s comment about renaming the AR-15 the Rubio is great, and even better than “The Rubio”. MR-15 indeed! Very clever, just rolls off the tongue, and is oh so appropriate. From durrati’s Charles P. Pierce on Rubio - "When a goat sings opera, you don’t worry about whether he’s off-key."
From belinda ridgewood:
Crashing Vor cracked me up with his comment in a (now deleted) spam diary nominally about drug rehab.
From yours truly, brillig:
Khaaannn gave us one explanation for That Acronym, in Joan McCarter's The dysfunctional Republican Congress passed a massively error-ridden tax law. claude fixed it.
