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

My sister was disappointed to find out that you can't have penetration in strip acts here. But we're not sure if here is the US, or just California--anyone know?

Um... huh. No, I don't know.

You're talking penetration with sex toys, not live sex acts, right?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

have I talked about the family changing room at the Y?

I do not believe you have.

I would guess the fighting, since the naked ladies are there in person.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I know there are places that advertise live sex shows in New Orleans, but I haven't been myself, so I can't say what all is involved. Or the legality thereof.

I made CI chocolate chip cookie bars today. Surprisingly quick and easy, and extremely tasty. The recipe gave me pause when it said to turn the batter into the pan, because what I had made was far doughy than batter, but it came out like it's supposed to.

Love the quilt, sarameg. I bet you can make anything on Low that you can make on High in a crockpot, it just takes longer. But I managed to burn the cabbage in my Boiled Dinner in the crockpot last night (the rest of the dinner was fine, just the cabbage burned), so there are clearly some subtleties that escape me.

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

Yup. Undoing beer bottles, or shooting ping pong balls.

I would guess the fighting, since the naked ladies are there in person.

I guess that too. Adding violence to sex seems like a simple win.

-t, I think the problem is the cabbage. Since it is evil.

I've only heard of these things in the context of "those weird, extreme things you can find in Asian countries."

Your theory fits the facts, ita.

Also, I would guess fighting.

And the beer bottle thing certainly happens in Mexico. I wish I didn't know that.

At a strip bar (full monty) with a flat screen TV in back of the stripping area--which would be a more popular choice of viewing--UFC, or porn?

I would think UFC.

NYT editorial: The Airport Security Follies

Six years after the terrorist attacks of 2001, airport security remains a theater of the absurd. The changes put in place following the September 11th catastrophe have been drastic, and largely of two kinds: those practical and effective, and those irrational, wasteful and pointless.

The first variety have taken place almost entirely behind the scenes. Explosives scanning for checked luggage, for instance, was long overdue and is perhaps the most welcome addition. Unfortunately, at concourse checkpoints all across America, the madness of passenger screening continues in plain view. It began with pat-downs and the senseless confiscation of pointy objects. Then came the mandatory shoe removal, followed in the summer of 2006 by the prohibition of liquids and gels. We can only imagine what is next.

...

How we got to this point is an interesting study in reactionary politics, fear-mongering and a disconcerting willingness of the American public to accept almost anything in the name of “security.” Conned and frightened, our nation demands not actual security, but security spectacle. And although a reasonable percentage of passengers, along with most security experts, would concur such theater serves no useful purpose, there has been surprisingly little outrage. In that regard, maybe we’ve gotten exactly the system we deserve.

I'm pretty sure some of the places I've seen in New Orleans had stage acts that included penetration. Though whether that was legal and aboveboard is anyone's guess.

I will point out that I've had to do the 3oz (100g) in quart ziplocs at Heathrow, Edinburgh, and Glasgow. So it's not just an American thing. Don't know if it's an American and UK thing, but it's more than just here.
