My husband knows all about the "lawyer board" but I don't know if I ever mentioned the FB by name. He's pretty supportive of it, even going along with my hosting a couple of brunches at the house and going out with GA groups now and then.

So, what you're saying is that if the catholic church made women priests, she'd fit right in with the buggerers?

I explained the larger context that the joke had been made precisely because it was a sudden departure from the typical AG character, such as it is. But it wasn't a problem beyond momentary awkwardness.

We're pretty old fashioned, and don't hang out with people who regularly josh each other about sex quality or quantity except in the impersonal or abstract. We don't run with a "Whassamatter, the little lady not performing her wifely duties? Har-har-har" crowd.

On the other hand, we regularly talk about genital self-discovery with our priest. Go figure.
So she is uncomfortable that a random stranger might ask on a message board if you are getting any, but she's totally cool about you posting about the talks y'all have with your priest about non-penile "genital self-discovery"?

Please, oh please, let today be one of the days that she drops by.

edited to indicate that Princess Paigow PRincess is "the First"

A clip for the MJ home movie shows PMJ the First saying "My name is Prince Michael Jackson and I love my Daddy."

This is like the "classy, intelligent, successful" thing that PP, DS, and all were discussing earlier today. Why in the world would you have to train your little kid to say that he loves you? It's not like he's a teenager -- he's still at the age where he should have demonstrable natural affection for his Dad.

What's next? "My name is Prince Michael Jackson and my Dad does not engage in genital self-discovery with me."

The whole thing with his kids just makes me ill. I saw pieces of the Martin docudrama and caught him parading his kids around in public with masks like everyday is Halloween or they are going on Mr. Personality. Does that alone not constitute child abuse? I can only imagine the repercussions on those kids' mental and emotional lives from a childhood of not allowing to show your fae in public. They'll probably end up having ten nosejobs, tattooing on eyeliner, getting cheekimplants and bleacking their skin. Sick. I have no idea why they havent been tekan away from him.

I mean, naming your kid "Prince" bc you are the King of Pop (or are in your mind) does not make you royalty. That alone should be proof that MJ is too delusional to be a proper parent., Are peole that delusional allowed to keep custody of theirkids in the real world?

P.S. I don't think he'd approve of my sending a pic of my pups for breasticle day redux, but like Anne says, a girl's gotta have some secrets.
The beneficial info is typically in the form of some random website link posting that was made here (eg. OddTodd, Emode quizzes, freaky stories about men having sex with goats, etc.). I think I mentioned the TM blowjob post to him as well. He likes the idea of me continuing my education on those sorts of fronts...

The str8 fiancee knows that I follow a lawyer message board that focuses on fashion and reality TV. She knows because some bits here are so good that I can't help but share them with her. Similarly I steal many of her observations here and pass them off as my own. I think she'd like this board, but she's got a bit of a "too cool for school" feeling about internet groups (the only ones she reads are the wedding ones, in the name of "research"). I don't think she'd be comfortable with the degree to which I lust after c2ed, RT, and GWNC.

By the way, I'm about ready to cut bait and run on the house. Thanks all for your good advice. On the other hand, if they chop $200K off the price . . .

They've probably had work done already (which could explain the masks).

The name thing doesn't bother me too much. George Foreman didn't spend toom uch time pondering what to name his brood. Then again, he took a lot of blows to the head over the years so at least he has an excuse.

Speaking of the "does your SO know about the FB" Poll...
 
Mr. PJ just suggested I pass along a bit of a movie review from CNN re: the new Ed Burns/Dustin Hoffman flick "Confidential':

apparently Ed Burns "has the sex appeal of Al Gore."

I'm so proud. If I can get him to watch "Sorority Life" this week, I believe I'll have successfully brainwashed him.

So upon advice of one of you (who was it) we saw Secretary. I don't recall ever seeing someone so thrilled about being told to eat mashed potatoes and four peas.

And it certainly gives "I didn't hurt you did I" a whole new meaning.


What a great movie (in a wonderfully perverse way)

The sisters are rather skinny. Natalie Maines had a baby recently (sometime last year), so I have a hard time believing that is her body. But, then she's been on tour for a while, so who knows?

Well, Pretty Woman was a fairytale, that's for sure. If you drive down Sunset Blvd., you might find prostitutes that look like they were in the cast of Pretty Woman. The problem is that the cast member is Jason Alexander.

On a serious level, while class matters in this country, gender also matters. At the turn of the century, upper class men kept their privileged status, while upper class women were dependent on catching another upper class man to maintain their status. The problem (for upper class girls) was that an upper class man could find a less demanding prole to marry, so there was a surplus of upper class women. Enter sororities at major universities. Now upper class women have a mechanism designed to pair them up with upper class men and middle class strivers.

The pattern still exists today. People are marrying later, so fraternities and sororities can focus on substance abuse, date rape, and bad reality TV. Meanwhile, after college, reality TV shows pick up the slack. It's not a coincidence that all of the men on the Bachelor look like they were fraternity social chair. It's Sociology 101.

Eddie Murphy once joked about haunted house movies. He said that white folks stick around and try to solve the mystery. Black folks might like the neighborhood, but when they hear a voice saying “Get out” they say “Too bad we can’t stay.”

Dude, the walls are oozing blood and there’s a white light coming out of the hall closet. It’s time to Get Out.

Squeeze Brad Pitt's Butt
 
Well, a foam facsimile:
-----
Brad's Buns Up For Grabs
By BeatBox Betty

This story is both creepy and cool. For those of you Brad Pitt fans who want to know what his butt cheeks feel like, hell has just frozen over.

A model of Brad is actually getting a face-lift of sorts at Madame Tussaud's museum of waxed famous folks in London. Fitted with a lifelike behind, modeled in foam and silicone from a mold of the real thing, this Brad offers his buns up for anyone willing to grab hold.

A rep for the museum told reporters, "Brad Pitt is one of our sexiest exhibits anyway, so he is an ideal candidate for the first ever squeezable waxwork. He is a huge hit with the ladies and, after Kylie [Minogue's] bottom got so much attention, we thought we'd have a bit of fun with this new figure."

For four years now, the Pitt model has been one of the museum's hottest attractions. Employees claim that in addition to having to clean up lipstick smears, they find panties left in the pockets of his suit.
