(no subject)

So, for some unspecified reason, my dear husband Kevin seems to have acquired a long skein of smooth, soft, braided rope. This rope has been reduced into a number of segments of lengths in multiples of ten; he intends, he mentions, to get another hundred-footer, as he does not feel that he has sufficient ten-foot sections.

The context under which this intended acquisition was revealed was the sudden departure of the ten-foot length he has, as Lennon (the smart cat) carefully removed it from the couch, drug it out into the hall, and killed it.

Apparently it needed killin'.

This cat toy liberated and restored to its intended status as, uh, people toy, the boys have had to limit their murderous impulses to the twisty thing pulled off a gallon of milk earlier this evening.

Mmph.

So someone tried to start a flamewar of some sort with crossposting to alt.poly. (Again.) And I really, really want to respond to the last poster on this subject, but I'm sort of feeling like it'd be stupid to do so in the newsgroup. Mumble.

With all the sexually transmitted diseases floating around these days, I think such behavior is irresponsible on the part of those who indulge in such practices.

Because, of course, all poly relationships involve sexual contact, especially sexual contact with high-risk and/or promiscuous people, and none of them are closed.

I will not comdemn (as a sinner) adults who do engage in this and will respect them as human beings, but, I for one will not live their example.

Good on you. Who the hell asked you to?

At the risk of being unpopular with some people, I will adhere to my own morals and standards.

And I to mine. There's a shocker.

I firmly believe in monogamous relationships.

So do I. I just don't want one.

I think I feel better now.

Great moments in actor recognition

"Who is that guy? I recognize his eyebrows."

Goes up there with, "Harrison Ford has a scar on his chin."

(*laugh* erispope responds to me quoting the line and explaining that I'm told I recognize the guy from Men in Black with, "Which one of the guys from MIB? The brown one, or the pinkish one?" To which I answer "The senior one," which is good enough for gummint work.)

Have I mentioned I'm terrible with names and other forms of noun?
