I've never posted a straight Vanity before.
But I am sick and tired of this good conservative, generally religious site being overrun by people posting "I'd hit it", whenever a picture of a good-looking girl is displayed.
It's demeaning, it's immoral, and I guess I'm just a prude but announcing to the world that you'd like to have sex with a woman based on her picture, like she was some object, hardly seems like the appropriate attitude on a conservative political site.
But rather than post in response to any particular person, I figured I'd just vent here where everybody could see and make fun of me.
So go ahead. I thank you for whatever indulgence you have given me in this rant.
Back to your regularly scheduled oggling and hitting.
Only on FR.
Like I said, everywhere else, folks act normal about guy pictures.
Oh, come on. You know that you set yourself up for that one.
You put it up on a tee for me to hit it. Oh, whoops, did I just say Hit It?
Throw me a curveball next time instead of a batting practice 75 mph fastball that was begging to be hit over the fence.
Maybe you’re a baseball fan. If the baseball references I gave you make no sense ask your Dad, Brother, boyfriend, husband, girlfriend at the office who likes baseball and they’ll explain it to you.
The Babe hit it 714 times over the fence. The only performance enhancing drugs he used were beer, cigars and hot dogs.
Deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep
Centuhfieeeeeeeeeeeeeld!
Whole lotta beer....up to 16 hot dogs a day.........
And they called Lou the “iron man” : )
Lou Gehrig is the “Pride of the Yankees”. The Babe died in his 50’s. Gehrig lived a clean life and all he got was a disease named after him...ALS...Lou Gehrig’s Disease.
It all started in 1626 in Holland. The first night watches and civic societies all banded around two things: beer and hot women. Eventually, groups emerged to determine what was "hittable"--the very forerunners of The Institute
When the settlers reached the New World, they brought this tradition with them. Largely a pub tradition, it didn't reappear in full force until the 1920's.
Upon the outbreak of World War II and the popularity of pin-up girls, it was determined that there had to be some standard of what the straight American male would hit. Thus the National Institute for Hot Women was born.
Public outcry of the name in the early 1950's, led by Ubu, led to a name change: the National Institute for Hitting It. Based in Dallas, Texas, the group moved into its headquarters in 2002...
Because of the political correctness of society, the Institute's exact whereabouts are unknown. However, it is estimated the main building is over 600,000 square feet and the complex is, well, just huge...
Thanks for performing such valuable research, deep in the vaults of the Institute. Our forefathers would be proud of the long, arduous hours you spent going through the millions of documents and pictures that track our history.
Ah, no problem...
We’re in the middle of expanding our vaults—perfect opportunity to go through our history...
Another overused phrase- “You’re a great American” makes me cringe.
According to the Archives: The first groups in 1626 Holland were looking for these kinds of paintings for their clubs...
There is some evidence that there was some "I'd Hit It" activity in 15th and 16th Century Italy, but it is also well-known that the Church effectively snuffed these out. Little is known before 1626 and thus it is established that the furthest roots of The Institute go back to 1626.
You know, one could probably write a doctoral thesis tracing the roots of the "I'd Hit It" movement back into prehistory, based on an examination of the neolithic figurines exemplified by the Willendorf Venus. Beyond Rubenesque by contemporary standards, these figures probably nonetheless stood as examples of what stone-age Man would "hit."
I wish him well, but he's not somebody I enjoy listening to.
You know, I am relieved to hear you say it; I was worried that I was the only one! Seriously, he seems like a nice guy, but a terrible spokesperson for the conservative cause. He doesn’t seem to listen well—I have heard him totally mischaracterize statements of his listeners on many occasions; and these were his supporters. And his debates with representatives of the dark side are often embarrassing to listen to.
Doctor of I’d Hit It...
Yeah, we’ve got a few of those...
IhI.D (LOL) 8^)
OTOH, I’m limited by our Archives...
If it existed before 1626 in an organized fashion, we don’t have the records for it. However, it’d be a strong bet that something did exist...
Consider, for example, the following segment from the book of Judges:
Samson went down to Timnah and saw there a young Philistine woman. When he returned, he said to his father and mother, "I have seen a Philistine woman in Timnah; now get her for me as my wife."
His father and mother replied, "Isn't there an acceptable woman among your relatives or among all our people? Must you go to the uncircumcised Philistines to get a wife?" But Samson said to his father, "Get her for me. She's the right one for me." - Judges 14:1-3 (NIV)
This seems to me to be an early instance of IHI.
IhI has existed since before the dawn of man. We’re talking about the formal organization of IhI, the codification of what IhI, and the systematic, universal application of IhI. That didn’t come until 1626...
Yes, IhI appears in Scripture. But if you notice, these are individualized cases...
