Jayne (Husband): Oh, I think you might wanna reconsider that last part. See, I married me a powerful ugly creature. Mal (Wife): How can you say that? How can you shame me in front of new people? Jayne (Husband): If I could make you purtier, I would. Mal (Wife): You are not the man I met a year ago.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

One example, I would think, is people who, as adults, have the attitude of "Yeah, I'm [insert religion here], because that's how I was raised, damn it!"

But isn't that more identity than faith? I mean, that's an entirely different statement than, "I believe [insert belief here] because I was raised to believe it."

brillig

you can pick a new user name for me.

Crash Bandicoot.

Sorry, I spun the mental Rolodex, and that flew out. Alternately, we have Zorababbel.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

Didn't someone cite a kid who was circumcised as a pre-teen and thought wanking was more fun before?

That was me. Turkish born boyfriend circed at 13.

Doesn't condom use mitigate the bulk of the increase in HPV risk?

I've been with two uncircumcised men. Both, as all men ought, showered in a timely fashion before they had sex with me. Presumably, as all men ought, if they went pottie subsequently they performed a quick penie-tidy as well. Johns may not be as concerned, dunno personally.

I've read that instructions to pull back a baby's foreskin can be too vigorous which can cause irritation -- that it would be analagous to spreading similar bits on a baby girl and giving a good hard scrub on a regular basis. Just wipe boy bits clean and check for detrus like girl bits.

There are some Jews who knick the foreskin in a bris rather than the full peel in the name of preserving sensitivity. I wish I could find that link.

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

Raquel, it sounds to me as if he thinks you're wonderful and your nickname isn't. It's a comment on the name and not on you.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I don't know what to make of that, Raquel.

FWIW, it doesn't sound so much like he wants you to be someone else as that his mental image of you doesn't include the name Raquel. Like, he wants your image in the world to be more his personal image of you.

Or I could be over interpreting.

What does he call you, if you don't mind me asking?

"Fuck Western ideologically-motivated gender identification!" Sulu gasped, and came.

That may well be the most demented link Betsy has ever found in her long and colorful history of creepy-link-finding.

Too too too freaky. Good grief. And what is this nonsense about the pictures not being retouched? They look like frigging Mattel dolls! With the flecks of light painted into their disturbingly wide-open eyes! And, colours aside, what's with the HAIR? And the CLOTHES? Ick! Freaky freaky freaky.

shudders again.

My sole contribution to the circumcision debate - the only circumcised penis of which I've made the acquaintance belonged to an Egyptian gentleman. Unfortunately we had this whole condom-destroys-erection thing going on, which led to not the best sex evah - so I'm still pretty much Go Team British Penis. In a non-judgmental way, obviously - I'm sure that there are all manner of John Thomases out there in various states of, ah, dishabille wrt possession of foreskins or lack thereof, and I'm perfectly sure that all Buffista menfolk have exceptionally charming and fragrant todgers. It goes without saying.

Raquel, that is most disconcerting. I tend to feel quite strongly about spellings of names, and about names in general, and I think I'd feel not great about that, were it to happen to me.

fwiw, I think both Rachel and Raquel are nice names. Rachel is more of an everyday name to me, and Raquel more of a glamorous, Sunday Best sort of name.

edited because circumcised!=uncircumcised.

Am idiot.

BF and I *never* call each other by our real names. He calls me Scrappy, and any one of a million nicknames--he called me "Death Star" last night. I usually call him Monster or Handsome.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

I'm afraid I'd be inclined to say, "Stuff it," if someone asked me to change my username because it didin't match what they thought of me. This is probably just one of the myriad reasons I'm 37 and not married, though. Or living with someone. Or dating. Or having dated in the past

. . . well, Clinton was in office at the time of my last date.

Oh, dear.

OK, tellling him to stuff it may not be the way to go here.

move out and draw fire

"Raving Ho-Beast." Why?

Kidding - we call each other by pet names we've used for lo these many years. It's certain to gross the kid out later. In front of other people, it's "hon" or similar.

Huh. Actually I kinda like "Rolodex."

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

He calls me Scrappy

Burn, Scrappy, burn;
Scrappy inferno!
