I will get a snake and a boyfriend to make up for this, but I will not have sex with my sister.

Slacker.

I knew spade was racist and thought it was common knowledge.

It turns out that Muppet prefers "Feline Overlord."

Hee!

The one new name I don't mind is "companion animal" because I think that reflects the closeness of the bond, but still makes it clear you have not had a break with reality and think your pets are your children.

I do know people who have had sex with their siblings in the bed, just not with their siblings.

Also with their children in the bed. Sibling was pissed off, kid didn't care.

Perhaps uncoincidentally the same family, but not the same individuals.

If I read/hear that, I will assume that the animal is a seeing-eye dog or other helper animal.

I tended to not like playing "I Never" in college, because everyone would tell their sexual escapades but I didn't have much to contribute on that subject.

But once playing "I Never" while drunk (of course), I said, "I never masturbated in the Arctic Circle Watershed and threw my used Kleenix into a river so it'd end up in the Arctic Circle."

I knew "spade" was derogatory, and we had a Sambo's restaurant in my hometown when I was a kid, and even at 8, as a little (freakishly advanced reader) kid, thought it was really weird, and I didn't like eating there.

(We ate there twice. The second time, I was all "Isn't sambo a mean word for a black person? I don't like this restaurant." AND the food sucked. They didn't last very long, in the late 70's.)

Heh. I loved "I Never" because I knew all people's shit and would say things on purpose that they had to drink to. Not Deep Dark Secrets, just slightly skanky ones.

And I cheerfully drank to anything I'd done.

I've never played I Never. What a waste of sexual escapades.

Tevis Cup: riders climbing Cougar Rock.

Yikes.

My *god* I loved I never. You get to totally frame yourself exactly as rapacious as you want to be, and learn shit about your friends. That and "One of these sentences is true." Or whatever that's called.

The best was the month or so when purity tests were all the storm, and we all answered every single variant I could find on the fledgling internet, but only shared our scores (one person read out the questions, but we only wrote down our progressive scores every ten questions, to hide which answers we were making). One guy scored in the low 20s before we all started doing stuff specifically to lower our scores. He was regarded as unto a god.

Bless university. Best money my parents ever spent.
