I would like to mention that lots of different people have sex several times in Lord of War, which I saw this weekend, and they ALL do it standing up. After the film, I turned to the people I was with and asked "Did I miss a memo or something?"
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

If I only had a brain...
It's the latest exercise craze. The next level is doing it on stair-climbers.

What is even happening?
The exercise people ruin everything.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
I tend to think sex while standing up is code for "act of desparation" in most films.

Well, you could think of it as ruining sex, or you could think of it as greatly improving your workout.

From a strictly technical point of view, is it easier to hide everybody's censorable bits when standing up? Especially if minimal disrobing occurs?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
You don't have to be standing up anything to be exercise. So it's not our fault. And it's totally not the fault of that chick whose shoe testimonial Betsy quoted in Bitches.

I may have to seize the cat.
Nerdalert:
The difference between lay and lie is that lay is transitive and lie is intransitive. You cannot lie something else down; you cannot lay down without either a direct object or a passive verb.
The "get laid" mnemonic is pretty useful, actually.
You can get laid, but in traditional parlance you cannot get lied. Lie is always active, lay can be active (but only with a direct object!) or passive.
Also? Tim Minear is cool. I wonder if he has advice on how to keep 11-month old beagle puppies from biting you.
