Met a guy on a blind date, dated for six weeks, moved to another country, dated long distance for a year (ish?), moved back to same city, eloped three months later. It's been seven years and one kid and a whole lot of fun. It was supposed to just be vacation-sex and an extended fling, surprise!

Bahhaa! Your good deed of the week was sharing this. I have a feeling I am not the only one who will be passing it on like mad.

Oh man, that's embarrassing, I never even knew OSC did a parallel universe retelling?? Thank you.

Ah, that makes more sense. Still shitty, but I'm really glad she shuts it down when she's there. He is showing NO regard for her boundaries, though, with the texting shit. Maybe your/her dislike of his behavior is part of the attraction for him? Yuck.

I've only seen the first 2 seasons so far (we're all Netflix/hulu now) but I was just thrilled that it was premiere cable and commanded that budget. I felt like the TV industry just invited every nerd to the prom.

(Oh god, you just gave me a college dorm flashback, when a wasted male friend found one of my tampons — the long applicator kind — he held it vertically against his pelvis, saw that it nearly reached his belly button, and then looked at me with worry and horror as he asked how big are you guys in there??)

Also a big fan of Varys — been a million years since I read the books so i can't recall if i enjoyed him as much on the page, but the actor is really compelling.

Dude, gross. I'm so sorry, what a pile of awkward shit to deal with.

Well, there are a lot of "rules" that are negotiated for each scene. There's a nudity rider, for instance, that spells out whether the actor/actress consents to a body double or not (lots don't, but if they do, they often get approval over their double); what they'll agree to show and what they won't (yes to side…

There's no set rule. It depends on the performers.

...And I'm all, "Youtube, how long have we been going out?? I shouldn't have to tell you everything, you should just know..."

ha, yes! It was a good reminder that Random Ballsack — while an excellent Bond villain name — is not something I enjoy randomly coming across on the interwebs.

"Let's go with Nacho Fresh today, Bertie. I'm feeling fancy."

The Royal Ass-sniffer??

That sounds a million times worse. Thanks for clarifying.

I kind of want something less scandalous and salacious than (I think?) Morton's usual style. Not an extended tabloid feel, but an actual legit and well written/scrupulously researched bio.

I think Dina did, maybe? But as far as I recall, Michael inherited, like, a pasta sauce company or something from his family. Something weirdly unexpected and boring like that. Which feeds my what the fuck happened to you people? interest in their earlier days.

Hell, there's a brother?? I did not know this. I hope that's an indication that he's having a normal-ish life right now...

Well, mine too, if I'm being honest ;-)

Well, that one I think I've been able to suss out through the gossip — pretty sure she acted (acts?) as manager for her kids, and so got 15% (and I think she also had her own reality show for a while, and you KNOW she's making them pay her every time she shows up on Dr Phill etc.)
