[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Kitty Paws has been used since Hec told it to us so much that it is practically a sponsor of our vacation. HA! Your daughter, I could eat her up with a spoon.

Oh, I have some pictures up. [link]

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

The recording in the background of this video is definitely the one that I remember: [link] Now I've got to google Hap Palmer too, to figure out why I know this song.

OK, that song was on an album of kids' songs release in 1978, and I was born in 1980, so I guess I learned it as a kid. I don't think I remember having that album -- if I did, it was probably on a cassette tape. Maybe one of my teachers played it at school.

edit: none of the other songs on that album seem at all familiar. I guess I heard it in school.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Excellent reviews, Nora. Had me drooling. Goodness you two ate well!

I think it's cuttlefish, not cuddlefish, though.

However, cuddlefish, is now firmly set in my mind with a visual of an extremely cuddly cod.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.

Had an odd conversation with my officemate today. He was totally stunned when I said that catcalling is something that happens on a fairly regular basis, and that it happens to teenagers. He replied, "You mean, there are guys out there who will just shout stuff like that to a 16-year-old girl?" I replied that the first time I remember it happening to me was when I was 12, or maybe 11. Do some guys just not notice this stuff? I've had similar conversations with guys before.

Not only do a lot of guys not notice this crap, many of them don't quite get why women feel so defensive about any unwanted attention from men.

That's Schrodinger's rapist. (That's an excellent piece of writing, BTW, and well worth reading, for both men and women. The comments, however, top the 1,000 mark, and so reading the comments may take a huge chunk of your time; don't feel compelled to read them. But read the blog entry itself. Please.)

This conversation also involved one of the other officemates trying to figure out exactly what "rape" means. He kept putting out these increasingly complicated scenarios, "If I say this and then she says this and then I do this and then this happens and then she says this and she does this and I say this and I sleep with her, is that rape?" I finally ended up snapping at him, "If she says no, then you stop. Period. If you don't have that amount of control over yourself, then you really have no business being part of society." At which point he looked to one of the other guys in the office for confirmation. Other guy nodded, and this guy said, "OK, I guess."
