Re:
It does, mariss? I believe you're the first person to feel that way! Is there something you're not telling us . . . ?

The name alone sounds very credible.

Re:
I had never heard of that either, Against, but it does make some sense. Our blood and skin are highly susceptible to outside influences, and sometimes certain "causes & effects" can have unusual, and sometimes bizarre, consequences. However, it gets a little strange when someone is told that it is confined to just the genital area! This councilwoman should have known better . . .

Re: Jimmy
That's also true, Justi. Yes, being happily married myself, I too never have to worry about such things. But even if I was still single, I don't believe I would have given this particular disease any credibility. Like I wrote, a huge percentage of the things that sound overly fake usually turn out to be just that! I can't believe this woman actually fell for such a ridiculous hoax . . . !

Re:
Really, FSI? You've actually heard of Blue Waffle Disease before? Hmmm . . . I guess I've got to get out of the house more! But then again, if such a disease did exist, I might be better off staying home . . .

Re:
There's a thought, lustor. If you're going to get such a disease, you might as well try to make a fashion statement at the same time! However, I can only assume that only a "private audience" would be able to verify if the outfits do indeed match . . . !

Re:
Oh, no, no, no, C C T! There's no way I'm placing or posting a pic of something like that on my computer! I'd have no good explanation for the authorities after they came crashing through my door with warrants and court orders! I couldn't even use the lame excuse that I was simply doing research on the breakfast habits of the Smurfs!

Re:
Is that egg, sam, or waffle batter? I read and heard about things like this before, when someone opens their mouth about something before getting all of the facts, and then end up embarrassing themselves! But this one really took the cake, so to speak, and sometimes I can't help but wonder how that woman became a council member in the first place if she's that gullible and that stupid . . .

Re: i agree with the other women,
Don't worry, jean. I knew what you meant! No, I had never heard the term "waffle" used before to describe any body part. But at the same time, giving any guy a "blue berry" is never right . . .

Re:
Interesting twist, Annicita. There are a couple of medical conditions with the word "blue" attached to them. However, I'm still trying to figure out how the word "waffle" got thrown into the mix . . .

Re: JimmyA
I understand completely, Sir Wiley. I only bring this up because of the ridiculous humor attached to it! Normally, female genatalia is a relatively taboo subject, as it should be . . .

Re:
I think, lovelylady, she should be embarrassed, and be either as red as a beet or as blue as a smurf! And believe it or not, blue is actually my favorite color, and I do enjoy waffles! But after this, I too no longer wish to hear them being spoken of in the same sentence! Glad this one gave you something to laugh over . . .

Re: Jimmy
You might be right about that, Naut, although I have a feeling that the ladies are chuckling right along with you! Dangerous, yes, but funny ( and bizarre ) nonetheless . . .

Re: now that will keep the boys away.....wear a sign that says Danger
I believe you're right, Kabu! If such a thing really did exist, I would definitely not want to know what an "encounter" with someone with Blue Waffle disease would do to my . . . what do you call it? . . . John Collins! Or would that in turn create an outbreak of Blue Sausage disease? ( Sorry . . . I couldn't resist! )

I have never heard of it, but I did hear on the radio about a lady who turned strange colors after her death. She had ordered bargain drugs over the internet, unaware that they were bogus and harmful. They apparently caused a chemical reaction that included the coloring in her tissues.

Well I have not heard such a thing. It skipped my e mail thank goodness. I am married and have only been sleeping with my husband, I don't worry about STD problems. It is too stupid for someone to believe it anyway. The things people fall for politically are every bit as far fetched.

It is amazing just how much steam hoaxes can get. Come to think of it, I remember my cousin talking about that disease and me just ignoring it.

hmm if my private area is going to turn any color at least make it purple and then it will be my favorite color and match a lot of my outfits.

Well it doesn't sound too unpleasant. If you could snaffle a photo maybe we would understand it better.

OMG!!!! Now I've heard of everything! I wonder if blue waffles are what give guys blue...you know whats!
I'll never look at the colour blue or waffles the same way again! Sorry, I couldn't help keeling over with laughter at this one. I'll bet Kathy McBride is red as a beet! Or is that blue as a smurf?

Well, I'm chuckling at the hoax, though I'm amazed that anyone could fall for it! But since I'm not a lady, I shall abstain from commenting further - this territory is far too dangerous for a mere man...
