The abolishment of seperate classes of train travel is a step towards...oh never mind. I see they're already there.
Well, it is true that toddlers should get sex ed....
Dammit, B, next you'll be advocating free train travel. See how slippery this slope is, people?
Yeah, and with the muggy weather, I'm thinking public nudity doesn't sound half bad, either.
Well, it is true that toddlers should get sex ed....
But not, we hope, sexed.
You should move to NM, B. No muggy weather here.
6: If you don't sex 'em, how do you know whether to put 'em in pink or blue?
7: NM as in New Mexico? Line me up a job, I'm there.
Is that the difference between sexing someone and sexing them up?
The party also said everybody should be allowed to go naked in public and promotes legalizing all soft and hard drugs and free train travel for all.
And a pony, and also fucking that pony!
NM as in New Mexico?
The very same.
Line me up a job, I'm there.
This is where it gets tricky.
11: Yeah, I've been having that problem for a couple years now. I suppose, though, that if you've got room, we can all just move down there and stay with you indefinitely. One of us is bound to find work sooner or later, right?
how do you know whether to put 'em in pink or blue?
Hair length and nail polish, obviously.
Anybody seen Mahagonny? I fear that's what any completely permissive society would become.
As in, the only crime left is not being able to pay for all the fun you're having, punishable by death.
Anybody seen Mahagonny?
Yeah, but Diana Ross and Billy Dee Williams do shitty German accents.
B and Mr. B are welcome to stay in my room while I'm away at school. PK can have my sister's room. As for jobs, there's this. Other than that, tricky.
Hm. Are your parents okay with this? Or is it going to turn out like that one time you found a puppy at the park?
I haven't asked them. They're probably not okay with it.
I wish I knew how to stop oppressing you, B.
Yeah, well, Teo, I don't want to end up at the pound.
BTW, there's also one of these near my house. Not that you'd be interested.
It's okay, Apo, you'll always have the sheep.
No, but Mr. B. might. Don't tell him.
Why "Spearmint Rhino"? The Rhino I get. But spearmint?
Don't worry, B, we always adopt strays. If they aren't happy with you they'll just send you off to live with our cousins in the country.
Why "Spearmint Rhino"?
No idea. I didn't know it was a chain until I googled it just now. The one near my house used to be called Eclipse and it was painted bright pink. Now it's white.
From the FAQ at the link:
Q. Why the name Spearmint Rhino?
A. Thats a long, long story. But it's an easy name to remember!
If they aren't happy with you they'll just send you off to live with our cousins in the country.
I think I'll pass. I hate the country.

I'm trying to branch out.
I'm busy watching grackles have sex in the birdbath, so I will be unable to participate further in this thread. What I want to know is, where is Montaigne?
The strip clubs in Portland are wholesome and family-owned. Mary's Club is run by Mary. After 36 years, she doesn't dance there any more, but one of her daughters occasionally does, and eventually will take over management.
34: I'm working on it -- I just got back from Fort Knox.
Screw Montaigne -- 37 calls for a full story! Did you steal any gold?
According to Cap'n W, the friend I was visiting, while the depository is very visible and very obviously defended, public statements about what's in it are not clear. There isn't any public affirmation (according to her) of how much gold is in there (if any at all).
The cool thing we missed by visiting on a holiday weekend is a chance to be Iraqi civilians -- extras -- in the urban warfare school there. They take random volunteers to flesh out street scenes as they train units to go to Iraq. I'm thinking about making an opportunity to go back and visit just to do that.
"Screw Montaigne -- 37 calls for a full story! Did you steal any gold?"
Everyone knows that won't work.
You have to bring your own nuclear device, and a large Korean handyman.

Imagine how many civilians in Iraq wish they could volunteer.
Wah, waaaah
You're enjoying your day
Everything's going your way
Then along comes Debbie Downer
I figure lots of people living in Iraq would be happy to volunteer for any part of the life I lead -- quite a lot of comfort and entertainment, and essentially no risk of violent death. I'm not sure that acting as extras in urban warfare training would be particularly attractive, but if you think so, I guess I can't argue.
"I'm not sure that acting as extras in urban warfare training would be particularly attractive, but if you think so, I guess I can't argue."
Didn't mention your life. It's always got to be about you, doesn't it?
(That is a Joke. Attempt, anyway.)
My point was that playing at being an Iraqi would be ever so much more desirable for an Iraqi than being an Iraqi in Iraq. Maybe it's just me who thought it would be a worthwhile program to help Iraqis by bringing them over, although I'm not seriously expecting it to happen.
I have an odd sense of humor; I'm used to that.
(I doubt, since you've been away, you've read the string of posts on Iraq and Haditha and whatnot I've done in the last few days, but some of it is the same old stuff getting worse, but than there's all the Haditha stuff.)
29, 32: Do we have to go over that again?
10 is definitely the Best Pony Invocation Since Belle's Original.
Sex with animals should be allowed although abuse of animals should remain illegal, the NVD said.
Someone's gotta explain THAT one to me. Gives a whole new meaning to "the bitch was asking for it," no?
Someone's gotta explain THAT one to me.
Animal gets to pitch, obviously.

Aha! And here we have a clear admission that men think of receptive sex as inherently abusive.
Why must you buy into the patriarchy, Apo?
Why must you buy into the patriarchy, Apo?
Great dividends?
You know, that's a really cogent summary.
receptive sex as inherently abusive
With an animal that can't consent, yeah probably. But I don't feel abused when my neighbor's doberm--
Never mind.
Right, which is why 47 is an inadequate response to 46. I mean, jeez, what do you want when you say "consent"? Written permission? That takes all the romance out of it.
I can't believe I'm posting this. NSFW, if a simple text file can be NSFW.
Aha! And here we have a clear admission that men think of receptive sex as inherently abusive.
Wow, that brings it back ... before I went to law school, I was going to write a dissertation on the active/passive dichotomy's mapping from patriarchal sexuality onto the interpretation of texts.
One of the rare occasions when going to law school *raised* the world's cultural level by an iota.
