One of the other items is a passport holder, which seems like it would be asking for trouble.

One of the rules of the actor's union is that you can't use a name which someone else has already used, even if it's your actual name. This has been going on for decades now, so I think most of the more standard names have probably been taken. So probably some of those kids have perfectly ordinary American names in…

There was also that guy who they dropped a car on just so that someone else could take his job. His actual death wasn't as bad as some of the others, but the fact that they killed him in cold blood just because he was in the way is horrifying.

I'd argue she didn't have any choice about what she did, and given that her entire family was killed it's not like she didn't suffer. While she probably should have been put on trial at some point, she didn't deserve to die.

You just have to remember, when an organisation caves into them, it's a triumph of free speech, but when something gets altered because of liberal protests and boycotts, it's an attack on free speech.

Yeah, it's a great fantasy, and the best case scenario for the reality is an awesome evening followed by serious guilt and probably messing up the friendship. And there are many, many ways it could have turned out badly. Like, I can think of two entirely separate, and entirely feasible, ones in which no one else ever…

The whole thing of having to remember baseball statistics or whatever to not come too early has always blown my mind. Like, to have to actively make yourself not enjoy it so much is such a weird concept, even though I understand why you have to do it.

Also, thank you for the gold star. :)

Yeah, there's a big difference between 'adult', as in 'adults only', and 'grown up' as in having to be responsible and not fuck up your life.

Tonight was a major step in my growth as a real grown up (I'm actually well into middle age) because I went out and got drunk with the person I've wanted to bang for years, and did not bang him, nor throw myself at him, nor even flirt with him in any real way, because there are several extremely good reasons why I…

You know as well as I do that grad students have no market value.

I think he does some of the time, when the person hasn't provided one.

I remember the first time I saw a porn photo of doggy style and assuming that it was anal sex. I think the first time I became aware of PIV doggy style was when I was actually having it.

I remember seeing Pretty Woman when I was 10 (in the cinemas, with my best friend and both our mothers, no I don't know what they were thinking either) and not having any idea what Julia Roberts' character actually did for a living.

I remember reading about some 18th or so century royal couple who couldn't get pregnant because both of them had that misconception. I think this is why they encouraged princes to have mistresses before they got married.

I used to know someone who didn't realise Stephen Fry was gay until he was about 20, despite being a big Fry fan and very gay, and very into gay culture.

When I was a kid, my best friend had one of those 'where do babies come from?' books, which we both found unduly fascinating. The kid wonders how come her parents don't have heaps of kids and the person doing the explaining says they use a thing called contraception to make sure that doesn't happen.
I was terrified…

'Hmmm this should be insightful regarding the phisiological changes that can happen with childbirth and lady parts'
*reads response*
'Oh right, this is Dan Savage.'

It's so terrible how they're forced to read OG's posts and can't just click the little line to minimise them.

I never realised how much work guys do when fucking women until I tried a strap-on. Seriously, I was reasonably fit back then and after about a minute and a half I felt like I needed a break. Presumably it's easier to keep going if your dick is actually part of your body and thus able to feel sensation.
