Now I (sort of) know who Hap Palmer is.
I like the ruffles.

[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.

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.

What else besides ramen can you scoop? YOU CAN SCOOP THIS WORLD FROM DARKNESS!

"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."

"We're all stories, in the end. Just make it a good one, eh?"
Some great news was announced while I was asleep.
Congrats on the baby, Jessica - that's fantastic!
Congrats and very happy engagement, Gris!
Congrats on the album, Spidra Webster (in case you happen to stop by here)!
WindSparrow, health~ma for you and your residents.
Shir, your uni schedule sounds awesome. (Except quant research methods. Ugh. I'm a qualitative researcher through and through. Can't help it. Even though I have to collect stats occasionally - but grudgingly.) Genealogy and Society sounds particularly interesting. Do post about that! Hope you enjoy it all.
Followed by "Qualitative and Quantitative Methods - Let's Make Them Fight!"
That's pretty much what my training in research methods involved this past year.

That was really impressive, Hil.
Steph, thanks for the link to the Schrodinger's Rapist entry. I like Shapely Prose, but I hadn't seen that before. I'm going to link to that from my blog at some point. Scary but essential reading.
