Girlfriend is better

Gimme danger little stranger
And I'll give you a piece
Gimme danger little stranger
And I'll feel your disease
There's nothing in my dreams
Just some ugly memories
Kiss me like the ocean breeze

Now if you will be my lover
I will shiver and sing
But if you can be my master
I will do anything
There's nothing left alive
But a pair of glassy eyes
Raise my spirits one more time

Find your little stranger
Find a little stranger
Baby gonna feel my hand
Say gotta gimme danger
Wild little stranger.
Honey gonna feel my hand.
Swear you're gonna feel my hand.

I'm an NT too but enjoy talking about sex as much as the next person.

I agree with Mr. T here. On the other hand, this is a diary, so I suppose it's OK.

However, we don't want to be seeing any '1337 h4x0r' jargon here. Enough with the NT.[1]

[1] Widely known to stand for NeDial of Tervice attacks. And if you think that's improbable, think of h4x0r locutions for about five seconds.

Here's one chart I found. Can't vouch for the accuracy, but it seems consistent with what I've heard elsewhere.


Only the most dangerous and hardened of criminals attempts to blame the law when he is the one who broke it.

looks accurate to me (none / 0) (#6)
by alprazolam on Wed Oct 24th, 2001 at 01:18:58 PM PST
but I would check out the law in each individual state as it becomes necessary. Also I think in some states the ignorance excuse may be valid. Again I would suggest that you procur the youngster first, identify state of residence, and then read up on that state's laws.

And here I've been listening to the Rolling Stones' Let It Bleed CD for the past few days...

Gimme Shelter (M. Jagger/K. Richards)

Oh, a storm is threat'ning
My very life today
If I don't get some shelter
Oh yeah, I'm gonna fade away...

War, children, it's just a shot away
It's just a shot away...
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
It's just a shot away
I tell you love, sister, it's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
It's just a kiss away
Kiss away, kiss away...


Fire and water, ma cher. Interesting how it all plays out, no?

RE: the poll -- I'm fond of a particular song by Carol Sloane/Lena Horne for that one:

An older man is like an elegant wine
I'll romance him, enchant him
Love him, decant him...


It's all a matter of perspective. And it depends on the circumstances, certainly.

Regrettablement pas; juste une passion pour des patois de Cajun. Je suis un boh�mien, un esprit semblable. Je suis cadjienne au coeur. (The Cajun use of ma cher is what the French express with the endearment mon pr�cieux; I appreciate the straight-to-the-point-no-chaser-needed literal nature of the dialect very much ;)

Are you the language enthusiast amongst the editorial elite in this pixel salon? Cultural anthropology is one of my primary interests, particularly linguistics.

Ben, moi j'�tais apr�s lire le livre de Barry Jean Ancelet, Cajun and Creole Folktales, et je peux certainment vous le recommender.

S�.

Cultural anthropology is one of my primary interests, particularly linguistics.

Hmmm. Anthropological linguistics. Apart from reading William Foley's intro (which was good but at the same time very annoying with all the halfassed enactionist propaganda), I know nothing about that.

The recommendation is one I've not yet read; I'll seek it out. My personal favorite is French Quarter Fables by Dalt Wonk -- very cynical and yet, at the same time, very real.

RE: linguistics -- your cover is blown, m'friend -- Shoeboy clued me in. ;) All I can offer to my credit is that the language, music and social conventions intrigued me sufficiently to prompt me to relocate to Louisiana for four years to experience it first-hand. It's a dying subculture, unfortunately, but not one without merit.




 
Why "Geriatric" (none / 0) (#7)
by moriveth on Wed Oct 24th, 2001 at 01:19:34 PM PST
It's about landing the right geriatric lover. Who wouldn't marry an 80-year-old for a few hundred million? Granted, this option is viable primarily for attractive females who have posed for Playboy. But it's good work if you can get it.

I think the available pool of trophy brides for octogenerians was severely diminished by the availability of Viagra. I mean, sure, I can understand a young woman being willing to put up with the company of some ancient prune for a few years for enough money, but the prospect of actually having to sleep with the old fossil is too much for most of these women to bear.

by poltroon on Wed Oct 24th, 2001 at 08:21:04 PM PST
I picked 31-35 but meant 31-40. The thought of sex with a teenage boy is gross. Most of them couldn't possibly know what they're doing, and if they somehow actually had enough experience, I'd be scared. In my opinion, 32 year olds who can pass for 20 (in terms of looks, only) are perfect.


How true... (none / 0) (#15)
by hauntedattics on Thu Oct 25th, 2001 at 07:57:15 AM PST
The thought of sex with a teenage boy is not that enticing, no matter how well-built/well-hung.

Then again, the experiences I've had with non-teenage Brits hasn't been all that fabulous either...

No, dear, we want sensitive, caring men who'll read us romantic love poems by candlelight and hold our hands as we walk through forest glades with dappled sunlight on babbling brooks...

Oh, hey, excuse me, I just had to go retch at my own prose.

Yeah, you're right. It's all about cash.

that if you can teach a teenage girl enough to make it passable, i'm sure you can do the same with teenage guys. do the world a favor and try it out a few times.

Lemme put it to you this way.

If her attention span is 26.5 seconds, the sex will be BAD.

*ahem* Bear in mind that this is not restricted to teenagers.

Anecdote: (none / 0) (#9)
by spacejack on Wed Oct 24th, 2001 at 02:45:31 PM PST
I bought that album 3 times:

The first time for $5 on vinyl. I lost it before playing it even once though cause I hit a club that night before taking it home and left it in a knapsack under a table (yeah right, like no one was gonna take it).

Then, in college, I picked it up on CD. Lost it shortly thereafter when some asswipe jumped out of my bedroom window at a party with a sack of about 150 of our CDs.

Finally picked up the "remastered" version a few years ago. Iggy was inspired to re-mix it (during the grunge era). It doesn't actually sound all that much different... maybe a little cleaner & punchier.

PS, You've inspired me to add a lyric to my sig. Can anyone place it?

When push comes to shovin,
I'd rather make some lovin.
