Savage Love.
@9: Just what I was going to say. I have a friend who is a pretty avid motorcyclist, and when I told him I was thinking about getting a scooter, he was horrified for that very reason. It's one of those counterintuitive things where the option that seems more dangerous actually isn't.

SL Letter of the Day: Gay Hahaha.
@39, 40: Lol, agreed.
@15: I think it would have to be a three-dimensional graph, with the X axis being sexual desire for the same sex, Y being sexual desire for the opposite sex, and Z being level of romantic attraction? I dunno, it still doesn't quite work, because you'd need to split it up further to allow for both hetero- and homo-romanticism as well as hetero- and homosexual desire.

SL Letter of the Day: Double Bi Standard.
I dunno, I'm realizing that I'm bisexual, but not especially biromantic (I have been in love with women, but it usually builds over years of friendship, rather than hit me like a lightning strike like it does with men--although it did when I was younger). I don't know if it's just because the playing field is narrower, or what, but I definitely feel the way Dan describes, most of the time.

SL Letter of the Day: The Big Finish.
I don't usually make this complaint, but jesus, this is the letter Dan answers? You had no letters from guys who wanted to dress their wives up as chickens? No cuckquean fetishists who want to get over a paralyzing fear of seeing another woman's pussy so they can "catch" their husband in the act? Hell, this woman's question would be valid if she were, like, 21; but to get to 27 without realizing, "Eh, no big deal, could be worse-- he could want to dress me up as a chicken or something!" is just... dumb.

The Making of Pulp Fiction.
My favorite character in Inglorious Basterds was the German squad leader whose brains they bashed in in the ravine. Shoshanna and her boyfriend were tied for a close second. Those were the only characters who weren't entirely terrible people. I get what film nerds wet their pants about with regards to Tarantino; but I'm not a film nerd, so I watch his movies as movies, not as cinema-theory scrapbooks, and I have generally found them "meh" at best.
