OH DEAR LORD. Please stop being so annoying. You're giving me a headache, and I want to smoosh you all.

My best friend's twins were 6 weeks early and little -- 4lb 2 oz and 4 lbs 12 oz -- but they have grown ginormously in their first 6 months.

Boy is over 20 lbs now and

Girl is about 18 lbs. If I remember correctly, that's bigger then Plei's (OMGSOADORABLE) 17 month old.

I love seeing those babies, lisah. So so so so cute.

BTW - I showed my co-worker some of the pics of O&O, and she said, "Those are two of the most beautiful kids I have ever seen."

Too true, but look who's talking. The Buffista sprog seem to have the same thing going as the sprog in my husband's family. There's not a dud in the bunch. Everyone's so pretty.

ION, I've always washed prewashed produce, because I don't know how it's handled, or who's handling it, or who's watching.

One gorilla took Prozac for anxiety that seemed to be associated with her menstrual cycle

I wonder if they tried giving her Wint-O-Green LifeSavers, first. They worked for this gorilla.

Kinkiness requires some pathology. Without the bent element, then there's no kink.

Confused now. So, let's take our hypothetical Swede. Said Swede likes to get his bork on whilst wearing the Leia outfit from Return Of The Jedi. If it's because he enjoys it, does that mean that he is kinky or not?

I guess I'm asking if you're arguing that Swedes who like more-than-vanilla sex are not kinky or that leather/ponyplay/whathaveyou doesn't exist in Sweden.

Kinkiness requires some pathology.

I would disagree (without any proof).

Hypothetically, I think there could be a person without pathology who just likes being tied up during sex.

Said Swede likes to get his bork on

BWAH!

---

The poor Swedes. Somewhere some of their ears are burning.

And they're thinking it feels pretty damn good.

Said Swede likes to get his bork on

I am crying at my desk now. Especially since there is this stupid jingle on an ad (Roomstore? ) that goes "get your ___ on!" And now I'm hearing it as "get your bork on!" and oh dear oh dear....why ?

I've heard the reason that homely guys are used in porn is because they use whoever has the ability to get it up on command and fuck all day for the multiple takes, and that's just a limited pool of guys to start with.

Seemore Butts (sp) confirmed this on his 'reality' show. Apparently the male go-now/go-allnighters are few and far between. Huh...so all those guys who have tried to woo me with their prowess in this regard were...you mean they were...lying??

Shocked! I'm shocked I tell you?

Just as shocked as I am that most women don't really want that type anyway, what with the chafing, etc.

In Charles Stross' Accelerando, society is at a point where the risk of STDs is such that most young people have stopped practicing the kinds of sex where fluids are exchanged. The protagonist, who is old enough to remember missionary-style penetration, is considered extremely kinky because he'd rather just fuck than be tied up and whipped.

I think "pathology" is the wrong term, however -- the definition of kink is going to come from how mainstream society defines "vanilla" somewhat regardless of how specific individual preferences come about.

I'm 1/4 Swedish. My lobes are burning.

And they're thinking it feels pretty damn good.

AIFG!

I saw this posted at a political blog--earlier this week, a group of left-wing bloggers met with a very prominent Dem politician. Can you identify who the pol was by this description of their meal?

Southern-style baked chicken ... spinach with a little ham hock, baked sweet potato fries, yummy cornbread, salad and fruit. And for dessert, we had red velvet cake with cream cheese frosting.
