It's still possible you would be found randomly anyway.
I was sitting at my cubicle one day and I get a phone call from one of my coworkers asking me to come by her cubicle. She was down the hall, so when I turned the corner I saw that a handful of my other coworkers plus supervisor were crowded around her cube. I walk up and they're gawking at me wearing a priest costume and playing my guitar with a cat-o-nine tails on stage.
This particular coworker was an old classmate of my ex-vocalist's fiancee, who took the picture.

Fortunately nothing happened but a laugh at my expense.

[When they eat the placenta it is disgusting.]

My cat is currently giving birth. 3 so far. When they eat the placenta it is disgusting.

Yes it is. Congrats!

When I assumed it was fake it didn't bother me... but now that I sort of think it might be real, it disgusts me.  Maybe because my sister recently gave birth, or maybe because it makes me fucking sick to think this might actually be going on in China.  Christ, I hope not.

From what I understand the Chinese have some weird ideas about health maintanence (not like we don't, but at least we keep it to exotic fruits and herbal supplements instead of endangered animal products). I don't find it that farfetched. Fucking nasty, but not farfetched. They also apparently move up execution dates based on need for organ transplants.

I don't know how you could call them a military joke. Hell, even the Wehrmacht didn't want to fuck with them.

Interesting angle, I'll have to study it more. Mountains=strategic defense. THough I was under the impression there were different reasons for that.

Has this really been going on for 214 pages?

Don't you people have any shame?

Since you've been here awhile, shouldn't you know the answer already?

Are you still stalking me?

Didn't you pull the shades down?

So, you think that just because I can't see you that it's not stalking?

You don't think I'm in Boston right now?

[Is the Vatican a Sovereign State?]

Is the Vatican a Sovereign State?
Elena Kagan and her colleagues in the solicitor general's office say it is.

The Vatican has been considered a sovereign city-state for longer than most current sovereign states have existed. It's official title is the "State of the Vatican City".  They issue their own passports... I'm not really sure what the author was driving at, other than thinking that Obama should play a modern day Henry Tudor

Don't get me wrong... after all the abuse, I'd go after them via the UN. "Turn over the Molesters or face sanctions." Heck, maybe even invasion, who's afraid of the Swiss? 

Not true. The concept of the Vatican as an actual country separate from Italy is a fairly modern one. And the Swiss Guards would fucking pretty much anybody.

YEah, they're pretty stringent on the Swiss soldiers they choose. Switzerland may be a military joke, but the Swiss Guard aren't.
Invading the Vatican would also lose you the Catholic vote.

I feel like Dimo and Badge have a pretty good handle on the matter. I struggled with female sexual arousal dysfunction for over ten years, to the point of being suicidal, so it is a very personal issue for me. I have taken part in many conversations in which the concept that having a hole should be enough (you have a hole, as well, gentlemen... if you can't get hard, clearly you should simply just succumb to penetration, so you can be whole)  but there is a very pervasive idea, even in the medical field, that female sexual dysfunction simply lacks emotional and psychological repurcussion.

I'm certainly not trying to invalidate your experience either. Isn't it possible that sexual dysfunction can be horrible in different ways between the sexes? I think trying to compare very personal experiences like this is a fruitless pursuit.

I definitely don't think, "having a hole is enough." But I do think that having recourse to allowing sex even if it is painful serves as a kind of panic button. A shitty, shitty panic button sure, but it is an option a woman could choose. You may never press it, but knowing that you have that option could offer some relief. (I wouldn't call that rape, by the way)

For men, there is no panic button.* You're SOL. And you can't help but look at the pitiful thing. She can't help but look at it. He can't help but look at you looking at it. But, apparently there is pretty good treatment.

For women, it sounds like treatment isn't very good and you have to suffer with insulting medical types. I have no reference for that. There is no comparison, they are too different and too personal.

*I have offered my hindquarters on many occasions but my girlfriends were not interested. I'm not particularly interested, but I've always been game to doing whatever gets off the women I've been with.

I agree with the "there's no way to fully understand someone else/difference between male and female problems" angle. I'm not going to understand menstruation and child birth. The mechanics, yes, the experience, nope.

The rest of it not so much. Nigel's not saying that female sexual dysfunction is worse. She's just saying that ED is not worse. This might be an extreme example, but it's kinda the same as a guy saying him being raped in the butt is more psychologically damaging and traumatic than a woman being raped. Well, no, both parties got raped. End of story. I think that's the sort of mentality that Nigel is arguing against. Bringing in her own experiences, I would be inclined to say that female sexual dysfunction is probably the worse of the two, since it's basically not taken seriously.

It's not a worry thing, it's a "What stop on the T is that?" thing.

Especially if there's beer involved. Yeah, I don't know how many of my peers actually have cars now that I think of it. Neither myself nor my drummer do, and 2 of my roommates are carless. Granted I do have friends with cars, but we would definitely have to get one of them to carpool for the rest, since our gear would prevent us from taking them.

On the bright side, my previous band was able to consistently sucker impress a handful of people to come out with us as far as NYC and Allentown.

Anyone remember him in "Jeffrey"?


Heh.

On the note of preferring spicy, next time try some ground black pepper in vanilla or plain white ice cream. Combine with crumbled/chunked chocolate chip cookies.

That actually sounds pretty good, thanks Trip

Celebratory tune - Make it so.


Sir Stewart fights the Evil Empire!

Capt. Picard=way more manly than Luke Skywalker.

^^ i'm joining in on this for Sir Stewart!!!

Hell, me too. I call Sejanus.

Fucking yes!

whoops, I mean screw the Empire!




OK, Sir Patrick Stewart is the shit. If anyone should be a knight, it's Capt. Jean-Luc Picard/Gurney Halleck.

Twid, likes TNG
