The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position … strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

ooh I like how you did that. What’s that called again?
Hey! Does that mean you’re … marking cards?!?
Today many of you will learn a new word.
A kynodesmē (Greek: κυνοδέσμη, English translation: “dog tie”) was a cord or string[1] or sometimes a leather strip that was worn primarily by athletes in Ancient Greece and Etruria to prevent the exposure of the glans penis in public (considered to be ill-mannered) and to restrict untethered movement of the penis during sporting competition. It was tied tightly around the akroposthion, the most distal, tubular portion of the foreskin that extends beyond the glans. As depicted in Ancient Greek art the kynodesme was worn by some athletes, actors, poets, symposiasts and komasts. It was worn temporarily while in public and could be taken off and put back on at will. The remaining length of cord could either be attached to a waist band to pull the penis upward and expose the scrotum, or tied around the base of the penis and scrotum so that the penis appeared to curl upwards.

In the context of the OP joke that would be a: jynodesmē.

On that page you will also see links to learn about Kotekas (penis gourds) where you’ll learn:
Yali men favour long, thin kotekas that help hold up the multiple rattan hoops worn around their waists, whereas Lani men wear double gourds held up with strips of cloth and use the space between the two gourds for carrying small items such as money and tobacco.
and Nambas (penis sheaths):
Two tribes on Malakula, the Big Nambas and the Smol (Small) Nambas, are named for the size of their nambas.
A government’s purpose is never to generate profit. It’s to make use of the common wealth to improve the lives of its citizens.
I bet those DOGE bros could stare at that statement for an hour and it still wouldn’t make sense to them.

The Quick And The Dead is clearly the best movie he’s in.
And yeah, anyone smart enough to “brave the fediverse” is smart enough to figure out how to watch it for free.
I would have missed all these communities if the bot hadn’t come back! NO RAGRETS!
Google is like a useful acquaintance who inevitably one day will pull a knife and threaten to cut you. You have to be ready to leave at a moment’s notice.

Exactly. In the cartoon above, “pulling the trigger” would be “the most important fight”.

Wait really? I wanted to be tied to a young tree and have my skeleton be merged with it:
The Moriori people of the Chatham Islands placed their dead in a sitting position … strapped to young trees in the forest. In time, the tree grew into and through the bones, making them one.

I was kind of hoping my descendents would be able to find the tree and see my skull staring out at them from halfway inside a tree. Are you saying this won’t work?
