Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
Yeah, meara, that's hard.I'm a pretty touchy-feely person and with some people that's fine and with other's it isn't and I think I usually distinguish correctly, but maybe not?
I totally had a "do we hug or are we too manly" moment with the Senior Director of my old department on Tuesday - [spoiler alert, we hugged], that's always kind of hard to navigate with coworkers. She did not pat my behind, though, that would have been startling.
I'm sort of heartened by the idea that maybe as a culture we are moving away from thinking "dirty old man" is a cute thing?
Because I totally get the GHWB thing (he's in a wheelchair, other people are standing for a posed photo, that's where his hand goes), and would probably have laughed it off myself, and that is NOT RIGHT.
Wait, this was a recent thing? I assumed the accounts about Bush Sr. were coming from back when such things were more accepted. (I mean, he's been an adult since WWII era.)

That's a good point.

Nope! Since he's been in the wheelchair. His full statement was something like, oh, since that's where his arm falls, he makes a joke to put people at ease, but of course he's SO SORRY if anyone was offended.
Whereas I'm still side-eyeing the news that Marilyn Manson ousted the long-time bassist for the band over Jessicka Addams (from the band Jack off Jill) talking about the rape and abuse she underwent. On the one hand, good that Manson is standing up for Jessicka's statements. On the other hand, DUDE. Manson, own up to and apologize for your own actions, which aren't even secret since you openly talk about them in your autobiography!

Ha.
Huh. The Saints are leading the NFC South. I somehow had no idea. Pleasant surprise, I guess.
I have nothing except Jack Off Jill is a fucking great name for a band.
