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

Where is toy boat fetish on this new map? (i.e location - top left or whatever plus classification). Thanks.

Bottom-middle.

All right. The Boy's theory about the toy boat fetish is this: lots of fetishes (some would say *all* fetishes, but I'm not wiling to make such an absolute statement) develop in childhood. The toy boat one may have arisen when a kid was playing with his toy boat at a lake/pond/fountain, and the boat got away from him, but was retrieved by a woman, who returned it, and sexual feelings ensued.

I neither endorse nor decry this theory; I'm just passing it along.

Is that regarding the toy boat fetish theory? If so, I expect something like that has happened to more than one kid, ever, in the history of kids having toy boats.

Do ya' all know that Yoko Ono has a song about a toy boat?

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

I always thought the kid played with the boat in the bath, and the nakedness/toy boat/good feeling thing all got connected.

ETA: I didn't always think about this, of course, but, you know, since I heard about it here.

If you're bored, this PZ post [link] has links to two different newspapers that have "what do you think of the CA court ruling?" surveys going on now.

Is there anything that isn't a fetish someplace on the Internet?
