I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

No. It's calling to me. It's making promises of being tasty.

It sounds a little like Fergie, actually, though I'm pretty sure my lunch is not Fergilicious.

You know what is sad? In my head, this conjures up a picture of a plump redheaded ex-member of the British royal family, and only belatedly do I try to come up with what the reportedly-lumpy rap musician looks like.

Help! My brain is stuck in 1992!

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

As much as I enjoy watching politicians crash and burn in sex scandals, I'm pretty peeved that Minnesota is still running sting operations for men propositioning other men. It may be happening in a skeevy way, but unless there's money involved it shouldn't be any more a jailable offense than the construction workers and carfulls of horny teenagers that proposition women in public all the time.

I'm ok with busting people for screwing in bathrooms.

Granted, by virtue of gender defined bathrooms these couples will tend to be homosexual. I'm still ok with it.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm ok with busting people for screwing in bathrooms.

Screwing in bathrooms would be indecent exposure and public lewdness. Asking someone if they want to screw shouldn't be an indictable offense, whether it happens in a bathroom or a singles bar. If the cop had caught Craig in a state of undress or actually performing a sexual act with someone in a public place, I'd have no problem with him being arrested.

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

Fergie raps? I'm out of touch enough to not be sure she does much more than pee herself in public. Oh, and the "Let's Get Retarded" song. My sister was startled I hadn't heard the lump song, but that's kinda why I don't listen to the radio.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, I forgot to mention that my lunch also has pine nuts. My lunch and I have been happily reunited.

I try to limit my exposure to Fergie to her appearances on Go Fug Yourself.

I keep waiting for Depends to snap her up as a spokesperson.

So if he asks the cop to have sex with him in the bathroom the cop should just say "no" and there is no crime. I'm torn. He WAS attempting to screw in the bathroom which is decidedly lewd -- do the police commonly save people from committing their particular crimes?

He wasn't arrested for trying to have homosexual sex, he was arrested for trying to have sex in public.

He wasn't arrested for trying to have homosexual sex, he was arrested for trying to have sex in public.

but was he definitively asking to have sex at right that moment? or was it possible he was propositioning the guy to take him back to his place? (note: i haven't heard this particular story. the guy may have expressly stated "do you want to have sex with me in this bathroom right now?")
