EVENINGS AT HOMEDating isn’t all parties. You don’t go out on the town every evening. Do you know how to entertain a boy at home?
First, get things straight with the family. If there’s just one living room, try to schedule events so you’ll have the use of it at certain times. Much as your date may admire your Pop and Mom, it’s a strain to be with them for hours. Work something out so you Tom or Dick or Harry can have your gab fest in comparative privacy.
Pop or Mom should be on hand, though, to greet your caller. Especially if he is a new boy. Yes, parents are entitled to a look-see at every new acquaintance.
If you and your date have a long evening ahead, plan a program. Dancing or listening to records. Or a game of gin rummy or checkers. You can’t rely entirely on chit-chat. Without some planned activity, you’re tagged as a target for heavy petting!
Wow, Sally Simpson sure knows how to have a lovely time.
Back in the days before radio collars and tranquilizer guns, tagging your heaving petting targets could be a real challenge.
Someone should write a book about being a well-behaved drug-abusing slut. I'd read it.
Al Fayed link no more worky.
Fixed it, thank you.
Heavy petting totally counts as a planned activity.
It's CondOleeza...
No, no, no - it's CondOlesbo.
I would have figured you to be all over nude lindsay lohan.

Re: Seal pups
For a second there, I thought Heidi Klum was starting a new band.
sorry to switch topics...this is real fun n all...(really, sorry to be a spoiler) but the bit at the very top of the post? The meat recall? Has anyone WATCHED that video?
Just a comment here...the issue isn't really the "safety" of the meat, it's about cruelty. These animals get SO SICK during their captive lives that they end up losing the ABILITY TO WALK. Did anyone see that cow trying to "run" from the forklift by "running" on his ankles? I think even though the language and law of the recall invokes safety for humans, it was really done to punish the company for cruelty. These animals are already in enough pain and distress - how can USING A FORKLIFT to move a crippled, terrified, screaming animal be acceptable?
I mean...and how come they get to the point of not being able to walk in the first place? How come this happens so much that there seems to be a well-thought-out and regularly-imposed set of guidelines (not the forklift variety) for "what to do when the cow can't walk?"
I've been veg before...I think I'm going back. Or at least eat only eat meat from places where the animals don't suffer so much. Maybe only eat meat I hunt (too many deer around...) Anyone with me?
(I'm not condemning those who aren't...just want to know if anyone...anyone out there is affected by this)
****Or anyone got a local butcher that gets meat from people who treat their animals well? REALLY well? I'd be willing to eat much less meat and pay through the nose for it. I like my beans anyway.
I love knowing the animal I'm eating was treated like shit. Possibly beaten, maybe stabbed a couple of times for funzies.
Hm. Poe, to each his own I guess.
Ok yeah who wouldn't be affected by it (I *think* that was sarcasm?).
Although, now that Poe puts it that way, I'd like to stab him a few times and grill his flank for dinner. You know, fer funzies.
Mmmmmm, Poe steak. Where's the A1.
Naw, not even that juicy thought will tempt me. Still going veg.
@13: You don't want to eat any part of his disease-ridden corpse.
A1? Man, you are a pussy. Go flail in a ravine, fag.
I think I do have a couple STI's I need to take care of. Six? I keep thinking if I pretend they aren't there, they'll go away.
See, this is wrong. The planned activity is supposed to be cover for the heavy petting.
Looks like I picked a good day to start the diet.
Thanks, JTC @7. Was moving a little slow at 7 AM. And, for the record, it's CondoleezZa.
