Just to let you know, Ogged, your most recent posts are:

penis, vagina, crisis, Rude Pundit, cell phones, scatology (Aristocrats), Nostradamus, and sex advice.

Ever wonder who will play you in A Beautiful Mind 2?

Some of those characterizations are uncharitable, Peter. This post, clearly, is meant to give pleasure to our female and gay male readers, and reassurance to our straight male readers. That's an emotional service. The post on the Aristocrats was a deep and sustained meditation on the nature of humor. "Cell phones" was, in fact, "speaking truth to power." I could go on.

Anyway, I'll play myself if Jennifer Connelly is my co-star.

Interestingly I was thinking about The Aristocrats on the concluding portion of my walk just now.

They say Frank Sinatra had a very large penis, but was a lousy lay.

If you're the straight male, who cares? Every woman any of us have ever been with would have left us in a heartbeat for him. This offers me know reassurance. (But then, I didn't click through.)

He was probably too busy thinking about Ava.

I've heard that about Frank Sinatra, too. I think on NPR.

Tim, about what time of the morning do you start drinking?

to be honest, it looks like a pretty normal-sized willy to me.

Really? huh.

It had to be done.

This reminds me of sophomore year, highschool, health class. The teacher asked how long the average penis was, and one of the class jokers raised his hand and volunteered that the average size of the penis was fifteen inches. The teacher played along for awhile, solely to laugh at the other boys in the room eyeing their crotches in despair.

Less or more funny, perhaps, was our sex-ed video freshman year, wherein we were all informed, dispassionately, that the average erect penis was 12 inches. I wonder that the old priest showing the video never corrected that "fact." He did have a cruel sense of humor.

It might be worth teaching high school just to pull that on the kids every year.

It's twelve inches when fully unraveled.

You know, the title of this post sounds like something Terri Gross would say. "The long arm [titter] of the law. Hee hee. I just employed sexual innuendo.". If you lost the italics it wouldn't have that problem.

I think it actually does look sort of photoshopped, this much bigger (smaller) version. Not that I'm defending the dude's honor. I know he's supposed to be the ladies man and all of that, but every time I see him my gaydar (which is usually quite accurate) is set off.

I'm not sure I see how all those parts fit together, pg.

1. It looks photoshopped to you.

2. You're not defending his honor.

3. Despite his reputation as a ladies man, he sets off your gaydar.

Or are those just three separate observations?

Well, if it were photoshopped we might assume he's really bigger IRL. Yes? So if I point out that it may be photoshopped then ... well, I'm sort of helping out his reputation, yes?

The gaydar bit was just a random addition. Perhaps to support my statement that I"m not defending his honor here.

Does that work? If not, take it as 3 separate observations.

Maybe that's why you haven't reset the TiVo in so long?

Ben, lately you fail to move beyond the already implicit. I blame your impending move.

Though the "kontext-away" tags were a nice touch.

I knew I used a word twice in 24, but I read it a few times and couldn't figure out which one it was. I must say, it's been a long day.

Since Standpipe's gone, I'm trying to make more things explicit than otherwise I would.

Plus, you know, I'm all in a state what with the move.

To be fair, in one case it was as a noun and the other as a verb.

That's kind of you, but since I couldn't identify the duplicated word, I don't think I'm off the hook.

14 reminds me of a slightly cruel trick to play in amateur theatre.

Right before some makes their entrance let them overhear you grumbling that this is certainly not worth the $50/show you are getting.

If they say "You're getting paid?!" you know you have them.

If they say "You're only getting $50?!" you'll know they know the joke.

Where is DE, for that matter? I think we haven't seen her about since she talked about applying for the job, so with luck she got it.
