Maybe being Borg isn't so bad, hmm?

Matt, I grew up in TX, and I can't stand it, either. Camp Mabry posted a high of 109 Wednesday.

Bad hairstyle - a guy has dreads, about 8" long, mashed into a bun with half of the ends sticking out, and a chopstick stuck in the middle. I've seen better-looking rats' nests. It took work. Oh, and I'm still looking for somebody to cut my hair. Until then, I'll go to a chain. a #5 cut, in silver

That would be my single-blade pocket knife.

Thanks for the flashback.

All hail Yang, Provider of the Ludicrous!

Fair enough. Point of clarification: I want neither myself nor another to shed any clothes or touch each other beyond a handshake or brief hug if either of us is currently in a relationship in which he or she is doing so with another, or can be presumed to be doing so with another, as in married, engaged, or either party believes it's a monogamous relationship. Intellectual or emotional relationships are not cheating, in my opinion. No one person can be all things to his or her partner. Being in the closet or out doesn't make any difference in my mind. If you have a woman or man at home, and you bring home an STD, it doesn't matter who you caught it from; it's still an STD in what was believed to be a monogamous relationship. Having said that, if everybody knows, and everybody's ok with it, have fun. Knowingly having an open relationship isn't the same as hiding it from your partner. Edit to add: If it's not me or mine, I try not to judge. That's not my responsibility, so I don't want the burden.

Congratulations and all the best, Bob! I hope it's a wonderful day for you!

"A relationship born of betrayal is doomed from the outset." Aside from that, I would not knowingly have sex with someone in an active relationship. There've been opportunities. Separated, divorcing, it doesn't matter. I want more than that for myself.

That's not strictly true. I listen to an awful lot of new music, since I live in a college town, and turn on the radio all teh time when I'm driving. I don't like to listen to much old music because I crave something different. Therer's a lot of great music being made, but I haven't heard ANYTHING from ANY boy band that I liked. I stopped listening to classical music many years ago becuase it's boring to hear the same music all the time. For the same reason, I got rid of my 70's vinyl. But coming from a musical family, and being educated in performing arts, if it's not well-written and well-played, or too sophomoric, it won't catch my ear.

It's really cool, KC, but why do I feel like I've read it before?

A lot of performers today, including most boy bands, are just good enough at music, just good enough at dancing, and just good enough looking to stay in the public eye. But, they're not good enough at any of that to catch my eye, my ear, or my imagination. I hear 'em on the radio, and want to change the channel. I watch performance footage, or watch a vid, and think their moves are stale. Then I'll catch a piece of an interview, and, well, find them uninspiring. In my mind, I hear Officer Barbrady's voice from South Park, intoning, "Move along. Nothing to see here. Not a single thingy-dingy." But not everybody likes the same things I do, either.

Wow! Stu! Happy Birthday, and all the best.

If I'm mixing it, vodka's better. It's like chicken - it goes with everything. For sitting at home with a good book or a game of hide the salami, Jameson's is my favorite now.

12-year old Dude, People don't especially like your humor. Quit trying so hard, and listen more. Put some effort into school, and not just your classes. The best thing you could learn in the next few years is how to be a good friend, starting with your classmates, like that red-headed boy with the hot butt. Hang out with people you admire, not just like, and learn from them. Tell your mom about yourself. Soon. She already knows, but get it out in the open, so you can move past it. Get some exercise. Talk your mom into letting you take judo, and get used to being touched. But when Bill does it, cut off his balls. You gotta get young before you get old.

Great tip, for sure. I especially like what you said about suggestions. Ultimately, it is the author's story.

It's not just a fiction site, but a place to learn, to teach, to express yourself or help another to do so. And as much fun as you can have with your clothes on. Like much in life, you get out of it what you put into it. So, how about a few thoughtful words for the bard who wrote a few for you? The ones that made you laugh, or sweat, or cry, or puff out your chest in pride. Tell 'em what you think, or what you feel, when you read their stuff. Go ahead, make their day.

The werewolf is a more sympathetic figure of lore. Except at the full moon, it's human, mourning its loss of control over its actions. Our myths are full of wolves nurturing human children, like Romulus and Remus. And wolves are so close akin to domestic dogs, our lives are entertwined.

Opuncia in Your Face Saved From the Flames, and in my dining room.

Ooh, pretty.

Myr, thanks for saving the world in which we would like to live. James, pass the lord and praise the ammunition. Slothie, wipe that grin off your face.

And it tastes great, too, right?

I've never seen a natural wolf shape done well on screen, but that's how I visualize werewolves. But since fiction is about suspending disbelief, I believe everything I read about them.

You're no fun at all.
