The last chef I worked for invited one of her colleagues (another chef) in for dinner. He and his group easily racked up about $300 worth... Chef comped it down to around $75 because, you know, colleagues/friends/whatever... Guest raved about everything, including the service, and ended up leaving...a $4 tip for his…

This was in a textbook, you guys. Not a Chive article. A TEXTBOOK.

My sexual education teacher was horrible. He said to me, "...you shouldn't be out in the open with your sexuality. It makes others uncomfortable, and makes you look like a target and a victim." He said that transgender people and bisexuals "...do not exist, they're doing it for attention." He also said that "...it…

I honestly think it's mostly that men aren't raised to have an internal, never-ending shame if their house isn't Martha Stewart levels of clean and perfect like women are. It's not that they can't, or won't clean - it's that they honestly don't have that same societal pressure there driving them to do it.*

Yeah, yeah, mysteries, whatever.

I often say things like 'I totally boned him,' which make no physical sense in that I don't have a bone, but we don't have an equivalent. 'I totally pussied him' just doesn't have the same ring to it. 'I totally clam-shelled him'?

This is so funny because one of the reasons I love Miss Fischer is because I think it is quite wholesome, "good, clean fun" as they say!

Fabulous. Kerry Greenwood originally conceived Phryne Fisher back in the late 80's as a sex positive, smart, glamorous, adventurous heroine because she realised there a need for one.

Agreed. We also loved "Call the Midwife." (I just reread my comment. I see I left out a couple of words, oops.)

I think they had like a million dollars or something like that for costumes??? That's rather insane, but I'd say it paid off, Phryne is always dressed to the nines. I loved the seriousness of the topics that many of the mysteries involved, it was so well done. The way the show handles particularly issues (like…

So she's not allowed to have sex with various men because it's immoral and because it ruins the chemistry between her and the MARRIED detective she works with? Really? Carefree no strings sex is bad but adultery would be fine (presumably as long as it's the guy cheating not a woman)

I loved that, too. I like that Dot maintains her moral center, but really grows in a way that is consistent with that. And I love Hugh and Dot together, but he just isn't that smart or intuitive or something.

Been watching 'Miss Fisher' since it first aired here in Australia, it is very addictive and Phryne is definitely one of the best characters. Despite being set in the 20s it manages to comment issues that are still relevant today, like rape, abortion, gay marriage, and feminism in general. And then there's the fact…

I'm watching Season 2 on ABC1 every Friday night whoop whoop!

I got pulled over by the cops once when I had one of the Pryne audio books on. I was so flustered I forgot to hit pause and was a good 20 seconds before I realised things were getting...steamy. Most awkward traffic stop ever.

Kinda like all the negative reviews I've read about Two and a Half Men. All those slutty man whores with a new girl every week. It would be such an awesome show if it wasn't for those guys just whoring around like that!!

I will watch the HELL outta this, just for the costumes. I'm sure it's good otherwise, even if she's a trollop! (I loves me some trollops, they are my people.)

I guarantee you none of these people have ever complained about James Bond and his promiscuous lifestyle. Gotta love double standards.

I was pretty sad about Anthony Andrews not getting some, as well. I was especially saddened because he was hot for Laura and the show does characterize her as the less sexually engaging of the two. She needed someone other than Rosemary and her kids to validate her. But, if she wasn't into it, she wasn't into it. …

Man, screw you guys. If you seriously can't handle an adult woman having sex with multiple partners you probably shouldn't be watching tv. Or reading books. Or really doing anything where you may be exposed to women with control of their own sex lives.

And I will try this new series, but my favorite 1920s lady…
