Fun fact…well, not so fun. My tenuous connection to these guys is I used to be in a band with Oliveri's drummer. I think he played with Troy Van Leeuwen too, as his name came up in a conversation I had with Troy.

I'm hoping the Joy Formidable can temper their prog side a bit. Seen 'em three time live and love them, but they have this bizarre tendency to try to be Rush.

As much as I love that record, Songs for the Deaf is pretty amazing work, too. As is Them Crooked Vultures.

To be fair, Cyd Charisse's legs are an equal cinematic treasure. Add the bob cut and the cigarette holder and yowza.

Yeah, Germans in particular have a different view of freikörperkultur. I've never seen nor experienced an erection on a dude beach, not because the people were hideous, but it just wasn't sexy.

I'd think in a 3-year relationship that involves rimming, she'd know if he needs to cut back on the Beef-a-Roni, so rather than being self-conscious about hygiene/diet, maybe being penetrated just ain't his thing. Does she like a digit in her own bum? Maybe she can start with that, then work into reciprocating.

We think Danny Dyer sounds like Prince Charles here. I wish I was joking.

Strangely my Triumph Bonneville is dead reliable and a joy to ride, my Brompton folding bicycle is a work ofart, and my Dyson vacuum… or "Hoover"… does what a vacuum is supposed to do. I think making a handful of well-engineered, solidly-built products is just English perversity.

The holo-shed's on the fritz again. The characters turned real!

I'm afraid our friend Nudeador Viking III has embarked on a serial novella or short story, scattered here and there across the site. It has a lot of promise, but I don't have the energy to search this place to keep up. The first installment was yesterday.

Twice…That was the one where Connery just had to go into makeup to look Japanese, (gah) and skim a brochure to become a ninja? Dear gawd that was abysmal.

"hates the things he's known for, but likes the money they make too much to give it up."

I have no clue how to say it, as I've only met Claudias whose native tongue was Spanish, and I knew I'd butcher it. I instead pronounce it "Hey, you."

Being happily single is every bit as nice being happily dating. People tend to jump to binary values about things - straight or gay, monogamous or promiscuous, dating or not, vanilla or kinky, cis male or cis female - but in reality we are complex and nuanced individuals who can find happiness in endless ways,…

My dear Sir:

I think we dated.

Lazy is the new sexy.

Congratulations on your marriage, sir.

I think Shakespeare called it "Hoist by his own petard."

"How own semen, or someone else's?"
