Interesting post, thanks for that, fff. Catherine seems to have her heart in the right place. Although, I hate to spin it this way, but when you place her in the category of a sex worker, I wonder how 'saintly' regular ol' prostitutes would seem if they had the opportunity to work in the same sort of setting as Catherine. In other words, I bet if they had the option to just chat/massage/take their clients out on dates, they'd prefer that as to just fuckin a bunch of guys. If the pay was the same... [more]

Oh shit, this so rocked. I always pictured myself as more of a Kristy-type. Like all, 'wtf are these girls wearing?' Thanks for this, TPS!

Lesbian friends tell me that there are many women who claim they are attracted to women and will happily engage in some degree of same-sex sexual activity, but they draw a line in the sand when it comes to actually eating pussy.

This may well support your Barbie doll thesis of bisexuality.

When I came out to my (female) best friend her first reaction was, "Really? Yeah I dated a chick in college, but couldn't get past... [more]

UbuRoivas: I totally agree. I don't know many guys who would be satisfied with making out and heavy petting only. However, a large percentage of women (lesbians or no) feel like that's the best part of being intimate. But that makes it really easy to be one of those half-ass lesbians (apologies for the crass term) who only want to stick to that. (Even lesbians like happy endings!)

You know, I had a college class where we watched what I thought was all of Kubrick's films and I am not familiar with Barry Lyndon. And didn't Kubrick do Spartacus too? Our prof felt that one was one Kubrick wished he could have back so we didn't watch it either. The films were all definitely amazing, but the overt misogyny definitely made us feminists in the room squeamish.

Just a thought: if you live a little more southerly, as I do and haven't ever seen a White Castle in your life, Chick-Fil-A is providing candlelight in the booths tonight for a little more romantic consumption of your chicken nuggets. Don't worry, fellas, I got your back.

Wow, that's really interesting. I am behind a couple books on the WoT series (like others I got fed up with it after a while) but might have to catch up now that I know there is an actual end in sight. I really liked the Elantris, I hope Sanderson will wrap up WoT well.

Anyone for a game of BRE?
How about LoD?

Holy crap. Blast from the past.

I met my ex-fiance on a BBS of all things. I live in a small town though so I had never even heard of a multi-line BBS until ya'll mentioned it. You elitists!

I hate to admit, I got 1 14.4 modem for my birthday one year and thought I ruled.

Ditto T.D. Strange. RIP Jordan and I'll say an extra prayer for Martin!

Along the same lines (ish, anyways) in Kerrville TX there was a funeral home that closed and was reopened as a Sportys Bar & Grill. 'I'll take a cheeseburger but ketchup rather than embalming fluid please."

I'm 'fraid a little added pep might have ended up in a puppy pileup on the hard, hard ground.

I find it difficult for us to buy in to the notion, ‘let’s just trust the president’s judgment,’ ’’ Mr. Biden said. “God love him, his judgment has been terrible."

*snort* That one made me chuckle.

You have to wonder how long you can detain people while having no proof of their wrongdoing. If they could prove something I'd bet they'd have hustled to move them on through the legal system just so Bush could jump on tv and... [more]

Lallan and Kanti sent a picture of Savita and Telephone Number in India and Vijai told them that he and Lalita couldn't tell much about Savita's complexion and beauty from it...

Perhaps this is what made us question the "values" he was concerned with most.....

You know what's messed up? That you think a teacher is qualified to diagnose anything. A teacher sees an entire classroom of kids maybe 5 hours a week. On that basis, they can pick out a single kid as having a serious mental disorder because they get restless in class? Teachers who are barely trained to teach their subject are now psychologists. That, my friend, is messed up.

Not to veer off topic, but I found this short-sighted. Yes, sometimes... [more]
