I think there is a general feeling with some dudes that if you can't just swing down off your hoss and fling out your bed-roll on the flinty ground, then you're simply not enough of a man to enjoy a decent night's rest.

I think you will find that it was actually Stewart Lee who wanted the moon on a stick, but thanks for the offer.

Q: No-one called Rod Hull, real or otherwise, has ever been designated The Keeper of the Jelly. In fact the inaccessibility of jelly made up a large part of his character arc over the course of the show.
Q2: My traditional response would be "Is that the one with the round ball or the pointy ball?", but I am actually…

I ask only that you now be as the noble Koi young Tintin Quarentino-san, and that is, to know the waters through which you now must swim. So, no mention of the fist - clasped or otherwise! - as you can never be sure in which way such idle talk may be construed down Soho way…

*Ahem-hem* Webster's Dictionary defines "pruritic" as "To establish the truth or genuineness of, as by evidence or argument: to prove one's claim." Clams are a shellfish specifically associated with shellfish allergies. As Soho does not have it's own Fishmarket - and applications to provide one have never gotten…

Well, first things first: was this a professional goat or just a funtime kid? Was the goat already in a relationship with another *MAN/*WOMAN/*BILLY/*NANNY *DELETE AS APPROPRIATE? Has the goat come out as goat-sexual to his or her drove, or is he/she still in the… Umm… "Potting shed?" Or are most goats actually…

(I will try and post this second out of deference to the ever-lovelySheepLauncher's technicolor flag-flying, suspiciously-shaped standard-bearing column, which are often of equal or more worth than Mr. Savage's own musings upon the lighter side of heartbreak, despair and what might be euphemisitically termed 'an…

Wasn't this movie called Monster Squad? More to the point, will Wolfman still have nards?

Do it! But rather than go in full steam ahead, how about just arranging a future date with the young lady at the party? Let her know - in a quiet moment where there's just the two of you - that you'd prefer to keep it on the DL for now, as you suspect her ex is the kind of dick who would cause a scene and ruin your…

I think the idea that God uses the metric system would be blasphemy enough in many iterations of that religion.

I think some version of your last paragraph (minus the last sentence) would make a pretty decent response: use your words, and get the lady to use hers in future otherwise what's the point? Maybe she thought she was being obvious about what she wanted, had already practised in her head how the interaction would go,…

Wally Jumblatts!

"If in doubt…"

The Google results page for "Shorduroys" is both tragic and hilarious.

You're absolutely correct! Upon re-reading, they were only boyfriend and girlfriend. That's actually so much better: they didn't ruin a marriage, have to deal with the hassle of divorce, or (hopefully) have issues of child custody to deal with. If they have both learned a few valuable lessons before they ever ended up…

Thank you for your full and thoughtful reply; I am currently having to fight the corner (almost literally at times) of a young person who has suffered a decade and more of parental abuse - mostly mental and emotional, but with enough of the physical thrown in - which have included this exact kind of 'test', either…

Agreed! I'll be honest, I don't think either of them sound ready for a mature and adult relationship: she plays dumb trust games near-enough guaranteed to leave her devastated, and he should be able to put a fantasy into context of potentially ruining his relationship. Really, a simple "if my girlfriend's not into…

Umm… Nope! Dan himself gave me the opening, when he stated "The woman was all about monogamy…"

I don't think gender is a factor here, especially in this place: a dealbreaker's a dealbreaker, and a lot of sexual fantasies are better off remaining as fantasies. If this situation was a dealbreaker for her, and he couldn't realise that some teenage fantasies should be left behind with drinking 20/20 and thinking…

I think we are broadly arguing the same thing: abuse is abusive behavior, rather than intent behind it. To ask a victim to judge 'intent' on behalf of an abuser is a moot point, and in fact a reason that abuse can carry on unabated for years ("they don't really mean it/they're doing it for my benefit" etc). In this…
