“We are Forerunners. Guardians of all that exists. The roots of the Galaxy have grown deep under our careful tending. Where there is life, the wisdom of our countless generations has saturated the soil. Our strength is a luminous sun, towards which all intelligence blossoms… And the impervious shelter, beneath which it has prospered.”

Friday T&A: Pain Tolerance Edition

by | Apr 25, 2026 | fat girl jihad | 0 comments

It has been an exceedingly busy week, hence the total lack of poastage throughout it. But now that we are at the weekend, and things are a little quieter, it is time to rectify this most egregious oversight. Seeing as we are rapidly approaching summer, and the weather around where I am is GLORIOUS, I think it is well past time that we provide the gingervitis sufferers among the readership, of which there are actually a fair few, some relief from their rather peculiar affliction.

I learned a rather odd thing about redheads a few months ago, while working on a project related to medical insurance. (Long story.) It turns out that gingers have a higher than average pain tolerance – you wouldn’t think it, given how fast redhead women go from 0 to 100 on the aggro scale at the slightest provocation.

This may, or may not, have something to do with the ABSOLUTELY PROVEN MEDICALLY ESTABLISHED FACT that gingers have no souls, but the research on this subject is scarce, to say the least.

They also require significantly more anaesthetic to put under for surgery – and have a much more easily triggered fight response. That is to say, when they come back up from the knockout pills, they are much more likely to take a drunken swing at the dope doc.

You really do learn all sorts of interesting yet totally useless shit in my line of work, it must be said…

Anyway – this here is Erin Monaghan, age 24 from, as you can probably guess given her last name, PommieBastardLande. Of course, given she IS a ginger, AND a “Monaghan”, it is a virtual certainty that she is in fact Oirish. Beyond that, little and less is known – though she does seem to have the classic ginger RBF down perfectly.

Happy weekend, all.
