Why are there so many %$@#^$@ Steves with Prostate Cancer!?!

[Guest guest]

In the recent " Chemo " thread, it seemed as if the only people involved were ALL

named Steve.

We've got a Steve B, a Steve H, a Steve S in Arkansas (hi, Steve S!), and me, a

Steve S in New York.

Maybe we're all going about looking for a root cause the wrong way. Up until

now, I've always thought it was pretty damned great being a Steve. Maybe I was

foolish and shortsighted.

All right then! How many of us here are Steves? Or were, perhaps, nick-named

Steve while growing up? Or wanted to be a Steve.

I mean, when I was growing up, my friends all used the term " Steve " and the

various terms for the male sex organ rather interchangeably, so maybe there's

THAT relation. Because it's obvious, isn't it? If you've got a " Steve, " you've

got that risk.

Follow-up note: Apparently, there ISN'T that correlation, since searching out

the two best known on-line slang dictionaries, including:

http://onlineslangdictionary.com/thesaurus/words+meaning+penis.html

I find NO SUCH RELATIONSHIP.

I think I'm going to go have a few strong words with my mates.

BTW, If you ARE a Steve, don't go here:

http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?page=1 & term=steve

1) It's open-source

2) It's a time-suck, and

3) Apparently, there are a LOT of people who are very, very jealous of us Steves

(as my parents would say).

PS: I mean this as no disrespect for all the non-Steves on this forum (and

obviously, for allthe Steves, as well); I just thought that perhaps some of us

could use a good guffaw, chuckle or snort.
