Just the opposite. Because sperm are being made constantly, it's relatively hard to shut down production to safe (no pregnancy) levels without causing significant side effects.

Don't know if it's exactly fair to say that we have no male birth control because it is not profitable. I think it would be plenty profitable. The problem is it's really hard. With women, you "just" have to stop the release (or implantation or fertilization) of 1 egg a month. With men, you have to stop the production…

My mother has either an unintentional gift of, or secret fondness for, random mentions of dick. She is a very proper lady, but she has also used the "beat off" phrase as above, has been known to say she pulled "such a boner last night", and a few others I wish I could remember. (I think one may have be her…

wait, didn't you guys to the same?

No one can make a poboy like they can in Louisiana. No one gets the bread right. It has to be French baguette and it has to crumble and get all over your shirt when you bite into it. Also, people not in Louisiana try to put a bunch of crap on a poboy that doesn't belong there, like special sauces and strange pickles.…

I don't know why anyone in Louisiana would eat a po'boy when y'all have muffaletta.

I know!! I literally read that and thought "wait, we're looking at the guy currently transforming into an old god, and not the nice gods, the ones who are all down with blood sacrifice, and saying SNOOZEFEST!" Sigh, jezebel, sometimes I just don't know what to do with you.

Great analysis. I also love how Ramsay is more Joffrey than Joffrey but we're all to horrified to even react.

Oh yeah? Well here's Bran: "I had a vision of being a wolf...I befriended a tree...Well, I'll be god damned, it's another vision of being a wolf." I don't go in for visions; they're like the equivalent of reading dream sequences and dream sequences are boring! (Unless we're talking about, like, Alice in Wonderland or T…

I love crawfish etoufee more than oxygen, so understand when I say that not even that could save the bland, falling-apart nature of catfish. Whitefish sucks in general, but Jesus, even COD is better than catfish, and cod is TERRIBLE.

SO true, except that clearly Bran is a boring person surrounded by boring things (Hodor is the exception) and Davos is an interesting person surrounded by boring things! He's the only non-highborn character who gets taken seriously in the series. (As far as I've read of it, anyway.)

Hmmmm, I like it. Ashamed to say, I did not let myself analyze it because it squicked me out. The deepest I went was acknowledging that Ramsay made me feel sympathy for Theon, even though his betrayal of the Starks was so heinous. I hate/love when characters are portrayed well enough to cause internal conflict in the…

Oysters are typically considered a seafood-only item, but every seafood place will have them. Po Boys are usually referred to by other names, as are Crawfish (which are frequently called "crawdads" when and where they appear). Gumbo I'm not sure about. Catfish is fucking terrible.

You best check yourself. #TeamStannis

Boring??!!! No way!!

Every time I see a clip from this show I keep thinking that I would so watch it if it was basically just Plaza and Pratt. But maybe that would be too much of a good thing.

April Ludgate is a national treasure. Aubrey Plaza should win all the Emmys.
