It's only temporary. Those hyper-moralisitcperverted genes won't be passed on.

That's funny. I saw the film with the "Cupid's Checklist" bit not two weeks ago - it's part of this MST3K.

What?

Oh, I was too busy thinking about athletics to pay attention.

I feel like the Unfoggedtariat is not blowing sufficient smoke up my ass. This video is funny. Where's the love?

I don't have anything to say about the video, heebie, but have I missed a discussion of whether you and Jammies are being public with baby-name ideas or whether that's private? Because I'm much more curious about that. I mean, Heebie-Geebie-Jammie Jr. isn't precisely what I'd go with, probably.

I've heard that if you tell lots of jokes to the foetus, they'll be tremendously funny when they grow up. Woody Allen's mom read 34 jokebooks to his foetus.

If only she'd skipped the fucking Dostoevsky.

Hmm, that's a good question. We do have a name that we're 95% a go on, (and I'm happy to tell you over e-mail), but I should probably talk to Jammies before broadcasting it online.

I imagine when she arrives, I'll put pictures and name up on my site, because over there I can go back and mark it friends-only after a week or two or whatever.

That must be what happened to me!

And then again, if you sniff a lot of flowers they'll become a perfumier. If you do both, they'll become really funny perfumiers. And if you also life weights, they'll be the world's strongest perfumier comedian.

Lay off the math, though. A powerful, funny, perfumier mathematician is the last goddamn thing we need.

Snapshot from my most recent visit to a maternity ward:

New father at chair near foot of mother's bed, crouched over laptop, typing rapidly.

New mother: Did you cc me on the announcement e-mail? You'd better cc me!

I'm surprised you're not recommending radical economics, JE.

I really have an array of obsessions, Witt. I'm a polymaniac.

The picture of the priest from the still freeze before the movie starts did remind me of a scene from Milk which made me cheer.


They were showing actual footage of the news during the Prop (I think it was) referendum which would have banned homosexuals from teaching in schools. There was a great clip of a priest saying he thought that this would be a terrible thing to do and would incite witch hunts, and in the back drop there was his church's Episcopal church banner.

heebs, I thoroughly enjoyed the video and made M/tch watch it, too. As a bonus, the lesbian kitchen in which the lesbians have a typical lesbian knife fight looks almost precisely like the kitchen of friends we had been visiting last evening. And they're not even lesbians! It's just wacky.

And they're not even lesbians! They were, however, having a knife fight. It's just wacky.

I've studied the secret lesbian knife-fighting techniques, which gives me a big edge over the average heteronormative knife-fighter.

During certain periods of history knife-fighting lesbians have represented the aspirational model for "true" masculinity.
