  • Hard News: Do Want?,

    Jack, I dunno. My iPhone fits in a little (but rather expensive and fabulous) Minnie Cooper bag. I don't necessarily want to upsize my bag so I can have both a cheap phone *and* an iPad in it.

    Hell yes I want and Megan and Danielle can make all the fun of me they like because I will have one.

    I'm not mocking the wanting! They *do* look cool.

    everyone making iPad jokes has forgotten

    But obvs, people do *get* that soon the jokes won't 'work' (even for the limited number of people who found them funny in the first place). Most pop-cultural jokes don't continue to work. They are time and context-specific. I've been making jokes about Jersey Shore's 'The Situation' for several weeks, but I'm not going to be making those jokes in 2015, am I? (Unless Jersey Shore is an even bigger cultural phenomenon than I anticipated...)

    Soon enough we'll get over it

    Robyn, stop being so logical and mature. You're ruining my fun!

    It's not essential or anything, but I was thinking the iCarefree might be rather useful for my cooking adventures. I often use online recipes and find myself running back and forth from kitchen to computer, or squinting at the tiny iPhone screen to follow ingredients lists.

    Megan, I genuflect in your direction. I actually guffawed. :)

    My favourite I've seen so far is: "Meh. I'll wait until they release an iMoonCup."

    Heh. Still, you'd want to use an iPad overnight, surely? More reliable.

    (Oh dear, I'm getting all Catskills up in here. I urge you to tip your waitresses.)

    Wow Russell, you used the words 'sanitary towel'. I suddenly feel like I'm in a Judy Blume book.

    (I am one of the most guilty of making those jokes. Never let it be said that I don't run stuff into the ground and drive everyone batty. Also? I think they should do an ultra-thin version called the iLiner.)

  • Up Front: All Together Now,

    Jack, you can't possibly be blaming Emma ('and co'! I want to be part of 'and co'!) because Angus' argument is crappy. It... sort of sounds that way, though...? I am confused.

    talking about something you might, hypothetically, want to do doesn't give people license to do whatever the hell they like to you

    This.

  • Up Front: All Together Now,

    And really, is "Don't have sex with someone who's unconscious" such a terrible restriction?

    But... the Animalistic Penis-Brains! They cannot be restricted in such a manner!

    And the comments beneath fascinating!

    I had a wee skim. Many points on the MRA bingo card. 'Women want equal rights but not equal responsibilities' is like a mantra to those douches.

    the Greater Crested Fuckwad

    Emma, have I expressed my deep love for you recently? Because I don't think I do it enough.

  • Random Play: He bangs the drum,

    In relation to on-stage band performances, I really have no problem with solos of any description as long as they don't overstay their welcome. Get in, get out, don't mess about.

    ETA:

    The Band was how 'organic' their music was, in that they did not appear to listen to other music, nor actively search for references

    Or that their references were to things completely outside their own popcultural framework - they were very 'steampunk', to use an anachronistic term, in the way they used the nineteenth century for fodder.

    she is trading on the notion that women are generally opposed to group sex to achieve an easier conviction

    Ah: a *conniving* whore, then.
