Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

One of my college boyfriends, a Brit, was uncircumcised. I thought it was cute. But you can't say that, of course.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

honey, are you on the ambien today?

You're going to have to tell me what you mean.

Wait, what? Isn't that apple and oranges? Or something ... dirtier?

I'm not sure--I'm trying to work out if driving stick is more prevalent than being uncircumcised among our demographics. Is that apples and oranges?

I just read some recent stats that said ca. 1999 63% of American newborns were circumcized, and now (2009) it's down to 56%.

It's harder to find stats for guys "our" age. Starting with defining the window of age, clearly.

Logitech is going to replace my busted wireless computer headset. I kinda forgot that companies do things like that, while I was feeling testy and frustrated about the sunk expense.

Because books.

I guess I'm not sure what you meant by driving stick. I always thought it referred to a woman who liked, well, dick. Do you mean a circumcised guy?

ita, "Data from a national survey conducted from 1999 to 2002 found that the overall prevalence of male circumcision in the United States was 79%.[20]

91% of men born in the 1970s, and 83% of boys born in the 1980s were circumcised.[20]

An earlier survey, conducted in 1992, found a circumcision prevalence of 77% in US-born men, born from 1932–1974, including 81% of non-Hispanic White men, 65% of Black men, and 54% of Hispanic men, vs. 42% of non U.S. born men who were circumcised.[21]"

I assumed by "driving stick" ita actually meant literally driving a stick shift car.

Possibly I am naive.

Well, that would really be apples and oranges.

Still hanging in, still have power, only update is that I have red beans cooking on the stove. Mmmmm.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

91% of men born in the 1970s

I'm so glad to have my impression confirmed!

So did I. Though I did wonder if it was a metaphor for a minute.

But circumcision is far less common in Europe, (and Asia?) right? So it would also depend on where guys are from.

(20-80% is a big range, map makers.)
