The Darkness - Love is Only a Feeling http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YGPyUSVtpZM&feature=related

This is awesome. That is all.

Absolutely. Sheer genius, and then there's that final scene which is like a boot to the solar plexus, because - suddenly - it's not funny at all. I can't think of many things on television that have hit me like that did.

I'm inclined to agree with you - but I really don't think this is something where we're ever going to find a common standard that suits everyone. First up, I think quite a few guys go to SPs to experience particular things, whatever they may be - and quite often these things are not abstract nouns, but things that can be quite precisely described with an appropriate... menu item, for want of a better term. If that's your objective, it would seem wise to ensure that you're going to get what you want simply to avoid disappointment; avoiding disappointment benefits everyone in the long run. Secondly, I think pretty much all the ladies hereabouts make it pretty clear in their ads/websites what they do and don't do, and where the boundaries are. This strikes me as entirely necessary, but does that not already remove some of the mystery? Whether I'm visiting a MA or a SP offering other activities, I may not be able (or wish) to predict exactly what's going to happen, but it's usually pretty easy to predict some things that won't. Finally, I just don't agree that knowing that something's going to happen ahead of time makes it any less sexy when it does. Sometimes, anticipation is half the fun :)

The Sisters of Mercy - Lucretia, My Reflection

Absolutely. I won't use it at all, and I probably have a lot less to lose than you. Call me paranoid, but I simply don't trust large corporations at all; how many won't either lose your data, or accidentally allow access to it by someone else, or mine it for their own purposes?

Happy birthday, Nat! Hope you had an excellent time!

+1 on Blackadder and and Little Britain. Also... The Fast Show, and The Mary Whitehouse Experience.

Ooooh... I didn't know that! Is she advertizing here and I hadn't picked up on it? Or do you have contact details for her? I'd be grateful if you could supply them...

Nirvana - Lithium

So, I didn't find out about this until today.... OK Go have a new song + video out. It's just as good as all their other stuff. But the best thing is... if you run Chrome, you can do really awesome things with it. Like this. The full thing is worth watching. Watch all the way to the end :) (Apologies to those who don't have Chrome, but other browsers aren't supported for this)

Awesome group, Malika! But really, there's only one possible place to start...

As has Audrina, by the looks of it...

Why Has Aquatic Lexicon Emerged? Next: PRAWN

The Sex Pistols - Anarchy in the UK http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JQkActP-isE

Happy birthday, Malika! And on the off-chance that you aren't already...

I am the Cat who walks by himself, and all places are alike to me.

Go out and dance naked in the rain. You know you want to.

which she spilled

...I'm not by any means an expert on this, but AFAIK there are quite a few ladies who don't advertize greek, but may be happy to do it once they've got to know you. That gives them a chance to use your first meeting to work out things like how much they like you, whether the chemistry's there, and whether or not you're hung like a horse - and this is where the YMMV comes in. If you *really* want greek, then you're probably best off going to someone who advertizes it up front - that way you'll probably get it unless the lady decides there's a reason not to. If you're not too hung up on it and you plan on taking the time to sample the various delights that this hobby has to offer, you may choose to wait until you find someone you get on with well and then asking her. No guarantees with this, obviously - I'm sure many SPs just don't do it at all.

Well... when I see this happen, I tend to think... Seriously, it's often very hard to tell whether someone's just genuinely not getting it, or whether they're trolling. Either way, I'm with you on DNFTT as a general principle for maintaining your online sanity. And as always, the lolcats got there first :)
