‘Tis the season, I suppose.

Nothing major in the picture here, but she had been openly pawing the butt. Not the worst thing in the world, but there were some elderly folk on the platform that looked dismayed. And nothing bums me out like a dismayed old person.

How long do you wait to sleep with someone? Honey In Yr Brain and her roommates have some thoughts:

P: Yeah. I mean it took three dates to get her to sleep with me…..

K: Three dates? Damn, that seems pretty quick and easy for someone who seems like they valued sex or whatever…not that I would know.

P: What!? Isn’t that the rule? They say “three dates is the rule” on Sex and the City.

K: You watch Sex and the City?

Read on for the powerful conclusion (and to see if P watches Sex and the City or not).

Is this you? If so, you have a secret admirer.

Our pal Queen Larbs takes a look at the pros and cons of hanging with couples:

Couples have the inherent benefit of potentially introducing you to one more neat person (as well as the built-in lameness of cashing out early and generally being less down to party) and single people provide the amusement of gratuitous make-outs, one night stands, and other tomfoolery with strangers through which I can either live vicariously or just be entertained (way to take one for the team, single friends). If I turn into a person who only wants to hang out with other couples, you won’t even need to take any action because I’ll be too busy barfing on myself in a corner.

For the record, I love couples. Some of my favorite people in the world are couples. But she makes some good points. Read on.

This is but one panel in a new strip by Lisa Hanawalt titled “Rejected Pet Portraits“, which is due to appear in an issue of The Believer, along with “Ideal Pimple“.

Definitely better than that toilet Garfield at Pop’s.

In Missed Connections last night, a post called mission girls appeared. It is a five-point examination of everything that’s wrong with Mission girls. Here’s part of it:

can only achieve sexual pleasure through degradation. look, i’m happy if you want me to call you a slut, pull your hair and slap you in the face while fucking you SOMETIMES. i’d like a self-respecting, less violent fuck periodically. (this is why you have more one night stands than relationships and why you only end up in relationships with assholes, in case you were wondering.)

A few hours later, a post called mission boys popped up. Written by the same person? Written as a response? You be the judge:

can only achieve sexual pleasure through degrading other people. look, i’m happy if you want to call me a slut, pull my hair and slap me in the face while fucking SOMETIMES. i’d like a self-respecting, less violent fuck periodically. (this is why you have more one night stands than relationships and why you only end up in relationships with bitches, in case you were wondering.)

Aww. Is it all true? The sex stuff? The style stuff? The taste stuff?

We’ll have the full posts after the jump in case they disappear…

In advance of his gala (and very expensive) fundraiser for the Roxie, Bay Citizen asked filmmaker John Waters to explain the very important role of movie theaters:

A movie theater should be for the community, should inspire young people to see movies that they can’t see elsewhere. The should be a place to eat badly without guilt. You should be able to have sex in a theater…It’s the perfect date, and a great place to accidently sit on someone’s lap.

Tika Hall, proprietor of Birthday Pony tells us about her new book:

THANKS, DUDE is my latest comic book. I illustrated quotes compiled after asking a ton of women for the weirdest and worst things men have told them. It is all real and hilarious and kind of upsetting at the same time. I hope you love it!

MAKES A GREAT GIFT?

Read on if you’d like to know where to find it.

I was hoping something nice and seedy would happen, but the arrows led to the front door of Laszlo’s. Booooring.
