Look at that thick removed! Bundle of sticks
I see what you did there
I always understood that the bundle had to be loosely bound.
As someone who has owned this album since about 5 years after it came out, I don't think I would have gotten any further than "That looks somewhat familiar."
That's a giant 19th century [redacted] on that dudes back.
Does it still need to be redacted when you are using it in an entirely proper and unmalicious way?
Apparently so! We can't hurt the gay bundle of sticks feelings. The F word might be too harsh. Please be open minded and inclusive!
Meh. It's an outdated word anyway that, like some innocent things, gets perverted into something malicious by assholes.
I find it funny written out this way because people immediately lose their shit about not using it, lol.
