Sorry, I thought I'd been clear that I was talking about behavior I saw in school decades ago, because that was the Times piece reminded me of. I'm not sure what read as "and anyone who likes hugs is a jerk" but that certainly wasn't my intent.
It's possible that he's in the land of perpetual Wednesday, or the crazy melty land, or you know, the world without shrimp.

Theatre school was hugs, kisses, massage, and random making out.
In Quebec, I have been kissed hello by near strangers.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
meara, there is a nice quickie spa in McCarren where you can get a decent pedi or chair massage for a good price!
I need to know more about this! I often have time to kill there. "Often" relative to the fact that I go to Vegas once a year.

Heh. Sadly, had I known this an hour ago, I might've gone there...but alas, I did work, instead. And checked here, of course.
Doh, and now I realize my flight is boarding in three minutes and I haven't bought any food or drink. Ack! Run!

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica
I am not a hugger.
Cute scientist story: I was horribly bored this afternoon, as was one of my other secretaries, so we went door to door trick-or-treating for an afternoon project. We ended up hanging some posters, returning some loaner equipment, and sifting through piles of papers sorting out the trash from the journal articles.
We discovered a wee little ragdoll almost buried behind the scientist's pile of paper.
"Um, Bruce? What's up with the dolly?"
Bruce said, "My three year old gave me a kiss one morning and said, 'Take my Lovey to work with you in case you need a nap Daddy.'"
SO CUTE!
