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

Now I'm reminded of the story in Nerve (supposedly true) about the guy who took his date to some restaurant where he had some very spicy food. Turns out he didn't wash his hands as well as he should have after the meal, and when he and his date went to bed... well, she was very unhappy....

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Spermicide wins? How...mundane.

What? You never went down on a woman using a diaphragm?

Incidentally, Gus, there's a travel book titled No Touch Monkey! which makes me think of you every time I see it.

Tommyrot, really good episode.

Historical tidbit: By 1669, the Dutch East Indies Company was the richest private company the world had ever seen, with over 150 merchant ships, 40 warships, 50,000 employees, a private army of 10,000 soldiers, and a dividend payment of 40%.

whoa. Way serendipitous post. Tommyrot sent me No Touch Monkey! in the mail a ways back.

You said that, then addressed tommyrot. So, I am going "whoa!"

Yeah, SA and I were at Quimby's when I found that book. I mentioned Gus and SA convinced me to buy it for him.
