What's the adage? Possession is nine-tenths of the law.

I think they're talking about an owner's right of possession, not just that stealing things is okay.

But how did he not give her the semen, ita?

If she did what he alleges, it was morally reprehensible, and maybe there even should be penalties exacted against her. Why should the child give up the right to parental support?

Everyone leaves the appendix alone, though. I guess they deem it so completely useless as to be pitiful.

No, they leave it alone because they know it can cap all their asses if they piss it off too much.

And now the image of internal organs having asses is simultaneously grossing me out and amusing the hell out of me.

Spleen~ma to your friend, Frankenbuddha. Or Spleenless~ma, whatever's appropriate.

But how did he not give her the semen, ita?

He challenges that she deceptively collected it. That doesn't sound like giving, but I wasn't there.

This just makes me wonder that I've never heard of this kind of story -- I wouldn't have really thought it was even possible to collect any useful amount of semen out of a condom after the fact. But then, I guess the notable part is the part where she's looking for child support. Usually, if you're going to want help with the kid, you're going to want the guy to know he's involved with making it, wouldn't you?

Edit: What I mean is, the semen-out-of-the-condom trick seems like a decent plan for women who are planning to be single mothers, but don't want to buy sperm.

You'd have to use condoms without spermicide.

Whichever of these two is lying is pretty imaginitively bad, I'd have to say.

::takes notes, revises plan::

I think it's something that is supposed to happen to pro ball players and the like. But I think the assumption is that there was actual mutual groininess going on -- it's still hella shady, but at least it's a potentially procreative process.

Two of my co-workers are huge Chappelle fans, I just discovered. I'm thinking it's really irritating to be subjected to "And then Wayne Brady said!" sort of conversations in the vicinity.

Which just means we won't do it again. Damned fun to participate in. Oddly, one of them apologised to me when I said I knew him. Kinda weird.

It just seems highly weird to me that she'd go through this cloak-and-dagger stuff to conceive by the guy, and then angrily hit him with a child support lawsuit when she herself is a doctor and presumably not hurting for cash. I think it's more likely that he's lying about the circumstances of conception, although I suppose there's enough looniness out there to explain the opposite take on events.
