I had some pop culture things lined up—mostly Netflix, though; and also a Monty Python-themed video I'm trying to make in lieu of actually attending my nephew's distant out-of-town wedding next month—but instead, my favorite girl in the whole world came to town this weekend to visit her friend, and I got to see her on

@avclub-f979394c282f4c89bbd91e8ef5589479:disqus My scorecard reads like this—
Beaverton, Golden Fountain, [something] Watersports, plus Dirty Euphemism Street would go in the books as a grand slam.  But perhaps we need check with the official scorer….

Absolutely—The Jetsons!  
The car is awesome, the replicators make whatever food you want, Rosie does all your chores, your theme music has a cookin' bassline, and, c'mon—"Rastro!"

Oh man; as a teen I loved me some Stylistics, Chi Lites, Temptations, Four Tops, Gladys Knight & The Pips, Stevie Wonder, Eddie Kendricks, Al Green,…(who am I leaving out…?)   
Great music.  (Funny, Yes seems out of place there, but it would totally work)

I agree with you, @avclub-f979394c282f4c89bbd91e8ef5589479:disqus .  In a big way, hearing "No" was something of a relief to me because it helped define boundaries.  And I think I like the YMY thing because it takes a big grey area out of play—if you're not sure, don't do it.  (Yeah; easy for me to say sitting here

@avclub-2a6ac9e5324952e36b40237cf2fcdad8:disqus  Thanks for the perspective.  I would like to think that's the case.  I guess it's possible some of those gals are thinking, "Jeez, I wonder if Bigguns ever figured out I was just using him to get laid."

@avclub-beddc9f9e1c9b438dc4246e494644ce4:disqus His "Light My Fire" really has a raw power to it, doesn't it?  I wasn't a big fan of "Chico and the Man", but I loved that theme.

Whew; after I left that post I was concerned about being eviscerated by the commentariat for listening to ABBA, which has always been something of a guilty pleasure (guilty because most of my friends hate pop music).  
Weird how iPod will go hours without playing a certain band/album, and then you hear several

Discuss, no; though I would have been ready to relate a lot of what you guys suggested, if needed.  When he told me about the weekend, I kinda said, "Okay, speak up if you need to…."  He knew what I meant, I'm sure.  He smiled and said nothing (since I'm free to interpret that any way I want to, I'll guess they got it

Diana Krall — "I Get Along Without You Very Well"
Tom Jones — "Without Love (There Is Nothing)"
Jose Feliciano — Theme From "Chico and the Man"  
Van Morrison — "(Straight To Your Heart) Like A Cannonball"

I absolutely love the idea of sex in public.  Just…not TOO public…..

Dan suggested a while back that it might be good to change "No means no" to "Yes means yes."  This would mean that if your date seems unsure, that should be regarded as a "no".  I like this, but I have to honestly say I'm not sure how well my teenage self would have handled that when our shirts are off and our hands

In looking back on my "formative years", I realize there were a fair number of situations that I'm not at all proud of, even to this day (to the point that I often wonder if they combined to create some sort of karmic thing that's actively keeping me from meeting the right girl—or any girl.  No other reason seems to

@Dikachu:disqus  I wrote last week about a coworker whose new girlfriend wasn't really turning him on during fellatio, and he wasn't sure whether or not to talk to her about it (or even how to).  
He and his girl are going away for a four-day weekend over Memorial Day, so I'm going to guess it's not much of a problem

Whenever we go out, the people always shout!

…etc……

Schplenden Schlitter Crasscrenbonburstein….

Johann Gambolputty!

Excellent.  Let's go with that.
