disproportionate thread assessment
I was thinking something more fashion oriented - like percale count.

Oh, and I think Emma would love the studded knee highs.
I prefer the lace-up ones. Ginx is basically my current boot, only more so.

I'm amazed at the $69 price-tag, Megan. Even in $US that seems cheap (inexpensive, not slutty, as you knew). I can see the attraction; nice muted colour, satin fabic, great proportions and just so damned stylish.
Emma, all the best for the hospital visit - is it an outpatient stylee visit or is it more 'residential'? (My circumlocutory way of asking if you are staying in overnight - apologies for verbosity.)

Yeah, it's a week inside for brain surgery. I really must get that column written.
It does kind of tie in, though. It's going to involve shaving a large portion of my skull, and I was surprised at how much the idea of having no hair upsets me. I've never worried much about my weight or wearing glasses or whether my clothes were trendy, but being bald? Yeah.

You know, I didn't even look at that. Mine were, ahem, somewhat more expensive. But thanks!

if we're not careful, rapists are the new terrorosts which we should all hide from
So, let me get this straight. You're advocating that women 'act appropriately' (where 'appropriately' is yet to be defined) so they don't bear any 'responsibility' for being raped. I am most confused about how this is all going to pan out. Where on my chest is my top's neckline allowed to be before I bear responsibility for my attack? How long must my skirt be? How low should my heels be? What percentage of responsibility do I bear if my heels are higher than, say, 2cm? If I never leave the house again and wear retro Victorian garb, do I win a special prize for being modest enough?
You see how fucking stupid your argument is, right? If every woman acted demurely and never showed a single ankle, they would still be raped and harassed. It's not 'brave' to say what you're saying. It's not 'common sense'. It's the same tired old shit we've heard for centuries: putting responsibility for crime on women, because you think we're somehow in charge of policing people with penises.
(Also, team, I have bingo - the centre square was 'what feminists need to do is... [without actually knowing diddly about feminism]'. I hope I win a bottle of something alcoholic as a prize, which I can drink irresponsibly in public while wearing a low-cut top and high heels.)

outpatient stylee
Well that postitively reframes some memories for me. Thanks.

Somebody please breathe new life into the phrase "gay badinage".
Dunno about gay, but I did once see badinage defined as 'a dirty old man'.

I believe sharia law may have some of the answers.

How can a Trekkie not think of Persis Khambatta in this situation?
Best of luck, follicular and otherwise.

gay badinage
I get a mincing badger troupe for some reason. Kind of Hero parade crossed with the wombles. <ducks>

I'll have you know I looked up the Satans on pillreports.com before I swallowed them. My eyes did get quite deceived later on though.
If they're called Satans then they're probably suppositories, as in 'Get thee behind me, Satan'.

But I don't honestly believe the reality is that women in most parts of New Zealand need to don a burka
Why? Does my bomb look big in this backpack?;)

In these circumstanmces, it's ridiculous (and naive) to say the victim bears absolutely no responsibility.

Could we add falling down to that list? And giggling and screeching? Isn't that what women do when out on the town?

...with friends like this who needs enemas?
You sure they weren't Santas?
They give you presents of mind...

Oh, FFS, this is pointless. Now that we're all in agreement about the descent of the Listener and the root cause of the problems with the world, let's return to a discussion of footwear.
Footwear - 1. Debate - 0.

Good of you to bring the discussion to heel...
-
Footwear - 1. Debate - 0.
Par for the course. :)
I'll get my cloak and dagger.
-
Debate about footwear 1?
-
A Jimmy Choo is worth a thousand words?
-
Yes, this debate about shoes is pointless and distracting.
Emma - what's this new tattoo you've got booked? We knew you wouldn't be able to resist the siren lure of the needles for long.
