God, yes. I don't know what it is about that guy but he totally fucks me off.

Ahahahahahaaha!

Between this and the thanksgiving marshmallow potato thing I am just so bemused by American food. But I also want it.

I was tutoring a kid recently, and we were working at his kitchen table. I was gazing about while he was writing and realised that the kitchen was bigger than my entire apartment. Had the same 'wow' moment.

I understand what he meant.

Flippin Irish, with your cups of tay and your Celtic Tigers *exit, pursued by bear*

He looks like a young Brando:

See also 'ratarsed', 'banjaxed' and 'shteamin'.

It was ALWAYS the Hokey Cokey. ALWAYS. Flippin Yanks, with your cheesedoodles and your hippity hop *shuffles off mumbling to self*

So meaning. Much spirituality. Totally 'Kung po chicken'.

Also a clueless foreigner - I googled. Apparently it's a food stereotypically associated with African-Americans. You never realise just how random stereotypes are until you come across one you've never heard before.

I used to try and push my hamster's nut sack back into his body. I think I thought it was his organs popping out, or something. That poor little bastard.

I don't believe I have.

It looks like he's trying to drown her!

Yes! This would be great. Sports too.

As a survivor of rape as a child, by someone I trusted, I never feared for my life. I guess I should be thankful that I wasn't raped at knifepoint by a stranger?

I think a complicating factor of date rape is that it's most likely someone you know and trust. That betrayal of trust is inherently traumatising; just as the physically violent aspects of another 'type' of rape are incredibly traumatising (and of course date rape can also involve physical violence). I agree that…

It takes one form of rape, which most likely involves someone you trust, may well involve physical violence and threats, and puts it 'below' another form of rape, where a shadowy character uses physical violence. The second type is the one most people associate with rape, which is why you get things like people saying…

As far as I'm aware (UK law) the difference is either rape or sexual assault. There is no 'rape in the first degree' (someone please correct me if I'm wrong).
