I've heard the stories for years and never realized that you were xupposed to pull off the animal's legs and jaw. How grotesque. Who wants all that blood around during any sex act?!
(BTW, I'm an acquaintance of the Gere family from childhood, and I can assure everyone that while his younger brother David is gay, Richard is not.)

Not all of us read the SLLOTDs. This week's column was new to me.
BTW, did anyone besides me read Dan's response in #26 with an Eric Cartman voice?

@162: Point taken. Some Jewish couple exchange coins rather than rings. One couple at my synagogue exchanged coins their great-grandparents had brought over on the boat with them.

Late to the party, but:
LW1's sister probably picked that date on purpose; and
LW2 doesn't have to have a diamond for an engagement ring. That's deBeers brainwashing. (Don't even get me started on the "two months' salary" bullshit, which I hear has inflated to three months now.)You don't even have to have a ring. I know couples who used necklaces instead of rings as the engagement jewel. As for the expensive stone, I always said I'd rather have my beloved's birthstone, whoever that may be, as the engagement jewel. Assuming he's not an April baby, how about compromising and getting a nice mid-range ring in his birthstone? (Bonus: Victorian engagement rings were often colored. Rubies and sapphires were used often. So you'd be honoring a much older tradition than Dutch enslavement of African nationals.)

@157: The Turner Diaries sums up what the goal is and how to achieve it.
@200: I'm sure he did cry. It was evidence he's wrong.
All: I guess there's no such thing as bad publicity, eh? I just came over here to get my weekly Savage, and this distracted me. I never heard of the guy before now.

The author forgot to mention that the journal with the scholarly-sounding title, Institute for Historical Review, is a publication devoted solely to pseudoscholarship denying the Holocaust, and frequently featuring the writings of internationally known Jew-haters like Fred Leuchter, Ernst Zundel, and David Irving:

David Irving, of course, is the British author who sued Deborah Lipstadt, author of Denying the Holocaust, for libel. Because he sued in a British court of law, Lipstadt found herself in the peculiar position of having to prove she didn't libel Irving, as opposed to him having to prove he was libeled, which would be the burden of proof in a US court of law.

"Christmas Shoes." Most mawkish, sappy, sentimental shit ever. May I suggest playing "Mr. Hankey's Christmas Classics" over and over again, in its entirety, as an antidote.

BBB's story reminded me of one of the 8,000 or so men Shere Hite interviewed for The Hite Report on Male Sexuality. Naturally, most men said they loved fellatio, but one memorable man was quoted as saying, "I do not like people sucking on my penis. Too many other sexy places."

-------Late to the party, but if TSTQ's spouse is truly depressed (or bipolar), and TSTQ is concerned about resurrecting their sex life, she better not hope antidepressants will make it any better. SSRIs are known boner-killers.
@24: Depression manifests itself differently in men than in women. You went through it for eight months? Try sixteen YEARS. Trust me, his behavior is not atypical.
@31: No need to insult us. TSTQ's spouse could be depressed AND a deadbeat.
Overall, I'm catching a whiff of someone who simply doesn't want to be labeled a divorceé at age 24. Trust me, TSTQ, there are way worse things in life. I say GTFO and let him figure it out. (Setting up all the legal infrastructure mentioned on this board, of course, before G'ing TFO.)
