Happy Friday! Don’t get raped!

posted by on December 7 at 20:27 PM

Do you always find yourself tongue-tied when rapists are around? Me too! Annoying. Luckily, while waiting for a friend to finish urinating at a scenic I-90 rest stop, I overheard a vanload of pre-teen girls chant the following ditty:

No! Don’t touch me there!
That is my no-no square!
I ain’t got no action there!
R - A - P - E
Rape!
Get away from me!

Because nothing deters a rapist like a darling mnemonic device. Keep this one handy, ladies! Your no-no square will thank you!

(Seriously. That really fucking happened to me.)

I knew a girl once who had a no-no dodecahedron.

Fnarf, I think you mean a 'no-no dodecagon'. A square is a polygon, not a polyhedron.

So you can't think or apply abstract concepts in three dimensions gfish?

I'm thinking sex education class, special guest speaker. Who else is gonna teach a group of girls a sassy little ditty about violation of their "no-no square"s?

In other news, this chant is going to be on endless loop in my mind for days. Thanks!

Gfish, have you encountered many two dimensional vaginas?

This really makes things much more difficult.

"The professor believed at first that the experiment held true only for animals. But his colleagues from York University of Toronto proved that estrogen positively influenced all mammalian female beings, especially human beings of female sex. The latter should not necessarily be pregnant to be wise: their quick-wittedness depends on the menstrual period..."

An anti-rape CHEER? Aren't cheers usually performed by young girls in short skirts shaking pompoms, and end with someone doing the splits?

They might as well wear t-shirts that say IF YOU'RE A RAPIST, DON'T LOOK AT THESE!

That cheer was part of my sister's sex-ed in high school

i love mr. show. they were the next python. and no no square seems inaccurate to me. shouldn't it be no no triangle? or for the brazilan waxed, the no no landing strip?

This would be a great door-to-door treat for Christmas carolers of either gender to belt out.

Does it really qualify as a mnemonic? It doesn't contain a mechanism, even a rhyme, to remember how to spell or say the word "rape".

@14 It's so sad there were only four seasons. Apparently Bob and David are working on a possible sit-com for HBO though. That might actually be worth ordering cable for.

@14: To be accurate, it was really more of a no-no rectangle. It included the boobz.

@16: Maybe some people need a short verse to remember whether or not raped is something they want to be.

thanks for the clarification, lindy. yes, rectangle it would be. but that excludes oral rape, which is more likely than boob rape, after all...maybe then, it's just a longer rectangle, or maybe pen-shaped. hmm, no no pen-shape...oh, never mind. this requires an comedy skit to do it justice.

@19,

Well then, wouldn't that be a triangle?

I learned a different version of the song when I was in middle school.

Stop! Don't touch me there.
This is my private square.
R-A-P-E!
Get your hands away from me!

Fantastic.

I think I may have to begin employing the phrase "no-no square" into my daily life.

If a stupid rhyme leads to fewer girls getting raped, then I'm all for it. But I'd rather that public money went to teaching them distancing techniques, crotch kicks, and eye gouges.
