Comic Critics reveals what the Watchmen video game might be like.
Ha!
I'm 17. Looking at linoleum makes me want to have sex.

I totally agree with Hil regarding the complex connotations of underwear. I think I'd use undergarments if I were talking about the industry. Like she works for an undergarments manufacturer or that can be found in the undergarments department. In my world undergarments is more apt to be a plural word.
I do love the earrings. But I would never wear them as I deal with grabby hands.

Now tagless for your comfort.
For me underwear=anything you wear under your clothes. I also like the term "foundation garments."
I need to get ready for yoga class this morning.

ita, you really had to go and confuse me with the underwear vs. undergarments question! I got all internally confused until JenP said her mother used underclothes to mean all of it. I grew up using underwear = underpants, and the all inclusive was underclothes. But, now I don't know what I use currently. I never think about it! Why do you have to make me think so hard?

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
Note: I don't actually use the term "undergarments," but *if* I did, it would refer to the collective bunch of what you wear under your clothes.

The guy who dropped trash on the subway almost got it, but I restrained...a bit.
I had to stop myself from pulling over this morning around the corner from my house to give the business to some asshole who dropped trash out of his McDonald's bag onto the ground. I'm so freaking sick of fast food trash in my neighborhood!

In re abstinance-only education and STDs - I remember reading or hearing somewhere that a lot of these programs emphasize that condoms don't work, and so people coming out of them don't use condoms. As a result, higher pregnancy and STD rates. But my memory is vague ....

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
I remember reading or hearing somewhere that a lot of these programs emphasize that condoms don't work,
Yeah, that's true. Some of those programs really drill that point home.
I dunno why - maybe this is the same insane troll logic that makes some people want there to be STDs, because they will discourage people from having sex outside of marriage.

Apparently some programs being used in some Texas school districts cite a 30% failure rate for condoms (which of course would STILL be better than not using anything, but is grossly untrue).

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm not sure they even want to discourage sex outside of marriage, so much as make sure that the people who do it "get what they deserve".
But it's just possible that I have some blinding rage issues on this front.
