If I knew that was going to happen, I'd have watched Friends.

I'll tell you what's weird: Click through that slavery tag, and this post sticks out like a sore thumb.

Sure sure, say what you will, but you have not lived until you've participated in a slave Leia orgy.

That first link to the guy watching all six movies is great. I love seeing stupid people look for the profound.

I wonder what happens if you watch all six Star Wars movies at the same time that you listen to Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon.

This is great -- the Leias are, erm, interesting. I wish that fellow who watched all the movies had posted more pics of the films layered on each other, rather than side by side.

Why would a giant slug like creature be attracted to a humanoid? It's like a human having a 'thing' for spiders.
"Whoa! Check out the rear thorax on that widow!" Beyond weird man.
...not that I didn't dig Leia.

Eh, I used to know a (human male) friend that had a sexual thing going on for the Giger bugs in Aliens.

That one hurt my head.

Ok, yeah, that's weird. Nevermind.

Pick a noun or verb randomly from any language on Earth.

Google it long and deeply enough and you'll probably find that somewhere there is at least one person who has a fetish for it.

No kidding. I posted an article on my website that made a passing joke about people developing a fetish for the braces kids with scoliosis used to have to wear. Now I can count on three or four referrals a week from people Googling "Milwaukee Brace Fetish."

All fanatics are wierd, doesn't matter what they're fans of. TV, Movies, Religion, whatever.

A long time ago on a 486 far, far away my then web-virgin eyes came across the "sex with dragons" page.

Years later a friend told me how she became aroused reading history or philosophy textbooks.

Most recently many of us read:
Jailing him, Judge Alistair McCallum told Hoyle "Never before in my time at the bar or on the bench have I ever had to deal with somebody who voluntarily allowed himself to be buggered by a dog on the public highway."

That's a suspiciously specific statement.

Are you telling me there's something in this post besides near-naked Leia's? I didn't notice, too busy clicking . . . through. . . Leia's . . . .

No votes for Farrah. Not soft enough, not real enough, and not a sweet face. She looks like a call girl.

She was definitely hired to dress like that - sexy is self-expression and nerdy labors of love.

That is one happy looking Storm Trooper.

Um...they were designed to be...phallic? I guess? Naw, I give up, that is weird.

Giger's work is all about the sex. Just not the kind of sex most people want to think about.
