Was it from that Arrested Development episode?
You all gonna be here when I wake up?

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
I just found out "Afternoon Delight" was a song about sex!
Perky, antiseptic, "Up With People" sex though.

You always do this. We get tipsy, and you take advantage of my love of the scientific method.
Well, it's not like anyone is surprised I'm slow on the uptake. I just found out "Afternoon Delight" was a song about sex!
Right, and you found Emaline under a cabbage leaf...

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I realize that the majority of the time I'm ground-fighting with other guys and that I do feel kind of self-conscious in the rare instances I'm paired up with a woman
It's the bits inbetween the fighting that seem surreal for me. Like when you pause in midguard to have a conversation with someone else, or listen to the instructor or tell a joke, and you realise you have your legs wrapped around the waist of some guy you've only just met, and in a second will be pulling him down on top of you.
Of course, the scenarios that are plainly the attacker trying to pin you are inherently squicky, but it's self-defense and as Jars mentions -- mental training.
I touch when I teach. It's just what I need to do to get body parts in the right place, or see what it's supposed to feel like (krav does translate to contact, after all). Maybe there have been a couple times when it was charged, but we both knew and studiously avoided admitting it.

Shit's all sorts of different now.
Was it from that Arrested Development episode?
No, I was listening to Perkins' AM Gold cd's one afternoon and I liked the songs so I looked up the lyrics and laughed and laughed and laughed.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

What did you think it was about before? Or did you just never think about it? (I've missed song lyric double-entendres by not thinking about the lyrics.)

It took me way too long to get Little Red Corvette. In my (nebulous) defense, Trojans didn't mean condoms to me until long after I'd stopped paying attention to its lyrics.

I had to explain to my dad a few weeks ago that Walk on the Wild Side was about a transvestite. It was a question on University Challenge.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
When I was little, "Afternoon Delight" and "You Can Ring My Bell" were two of my favorite songs -- about ice cream and getting a friend to play, respectively, of course.....

Heh. But that one is explicit (a single-entendre).
A friend of mine didn't get what the Kinks song "Lola" was about. That one's pretty explicit too.
