I'm earwormed with Tom Jones singing "Sex Bomb," only now as "Gay Bomb."
And now I'm imagining Maggie Simpson doing the robot to "Gay Bomb" (as in quite possibly my favorite throwaway bit from the Simpsons).
We didn't have sex, if that's what you mean. That's all I do now, not have sex.

That Pentagon thing came out like two years ago. Why is suddenly popping up all over the place I wonder?

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

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

The Pentagon just got around to confirming the story.

Huh. I never realized that the '60s had ads with such creepy sexual subtext....
American Airlines Ad: Think of her as your mother. (Oct, 1968)
Think of her as your mother.
She only wants what’s best for you.
A cool drink. A good dinner. A soft pillow and a warm blanket.
This is not just maternal instinct. It’s the result of the longest
Stewardess training in the industry.
Training in service, not just a beauty course.
Service, after all, is what makes professional travellers prefer American.
And makes new travellers want to keep on flying with us.
So we see that every passenger gets the same professional treatment.
That’s the American Way.
Fly the American Way

I heard about the Gay Bomb on Wait Wait, Don't Tell Me this weekend! Funny.
That segment was so gigglarific.
People, if in two places you are responsible for, you state the policy as X, do not come to me and ask me why something is X. It is because you said so!

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
Blah. I was vaguely considering seeing the touring production of Spamalot here, but Ticketmaster has the only tickets left, and they tack over $10 of fees on top of any ticket. Grrrr.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
such creepy sexual subtext....
It's not creepy sexual subtext. It's creepy familial subtext.
Or something.
My heart rate has not climbed down from its peaks this morning, plus I'm achey and sore. Such a whiner.

It's why I call them Ticketbastard.

They are! They're total bastards. And I'm disappointed that the local company here is like, "Nope, sorry, only Ticketmaster. Suck it up."
