By the way, this is only one part of the reason why I am better than you.

I think you'll be fine. This is without straining the open part at all, and the ring is fairly flexible.

Actually the rings are huge. I wear a 10 on my right thumb and the ring is too big to even stay on it. I wanted to use the yellow one for my Sinestro Corps costume, but it's way too big. You might be in luck.

I didn't get any of those, Steve ate them all. :(

My husband ate the majority of my tub of deliciousness from Seven. I made the mistake of opening it and leaving it on the coffee table while he was playing Saboteur, and somehow it was empty when I went back for another piece.

So foot fetish, inter-racial porn, etc. is cool, but not a guy hanging himself while masturbating or something like that.

The fact of the matter is that there is some research evidence that ALL pornography is harmful to minds that are not yet fully developed. You can't just draw the line there and say "It's okay for kids to watch vanilla porn, but not kinky stuff." ALL porn is a skewed representation of human sexuality. NO porn gives young people an accurate understanding of what sex is like. And I've seen some studies that suggest that not only does it give younger viewers warped understandings of sex and relationships, it can also retard development in specific areas of the brain.

Boys who watch hardcore pornography at a young age are statistically more likely to commit violent sexual acts. Girls who watch hardcore pornography at a young age are statistically more likely to engage in sexual activity at a younger age than their peers. Both sexes tend to view sex as a purely recreational activity if they are heavily exposed to porn at a young age, and I hate to break it to you, but that's not a good thing. Both sexes tend to have a lower sense of women as individuals rather than sexual objects after heavy porn exposure.

There's no such thing as "good" or "bad" porn, and by trying to draw a line between what is harmful porn and what is harmless porn, you're going to start a snowball that will result in even the tamer fetishes being once again labeled as shameful - if it's on the "no kids" list, it must be really bad, right?

I would be interested if the studies that show this bothered to collect any data about what percentage of masturbation and consumption of pornography by married people is part of mutual pleasure activities. If no data was collected on this, I consider the data to be questionable.

Like you said, figure out "permission" later , right...

Post hoc ergo propter hoc, friend.

Saying that organs should be harvested from adults without requiring consent of their next of kin is wildly different from saying it's fine to harvest organs from minors without parental consent. No one ever said that they thought it would be a champion notion to take organs from kids.

Jewish law also prohibits the harvesting of organs for storage or in any case where there is not an immediate and specific need. If no one in the hospital or in the system needs a kidney that day, someone who dies that day will keep his kidneys. Once a person meets the Jewish definition of dead, it is considered to be a tremendous mitzvah for his organs to be used for immediate, necessary transplants.

I'm married and we've had sex twice in the last 24 hours and a grand total of four times in the last seven days. This is about standard for us.

The stereotype that married couples have reduced sex lives has actually been proven totally false - married people have a much higher average than single people according to numerous studies by accredited institutions. Ease of sexual access (i.e. not having to go out and find a willing partner) results in significantly higher incidences of sexual activity.

But hey, let's trot out some more tired cinematic bullshit about relationships while arguing that life isn't like the movies!

I would recommend Etsy instead. It's cheaper to list things, they stay up longer, and there is a much bigger culture of buying handmade items there. My engagement ring and our wedding bands both came from Etsy sellers, as well as homemade bath salts and lotions for my stepsister, my sister's wedding cake topper, and some beautiful beads for my mom.

Haha, that's ska with a k! SCA is Society for Creative Anachronism - you know, the ren faire losers.

I think Cap's armor is more like scale armor than chainmail.

There's always Red Sonja, though.

The added plus is they've got friends from the different conventions they attend.

Not sure how much demand there would be among the superhero people for chainmail, but some of the other costuming types would be into it. I tend to run in the wrong circles for that. The real goal would probably be to get a small table/booth at some of the lesser conventions and maybe a ren faire or two. Make yourself up some business cards and do some networking.

Back when my husband was really into SCA he learned to do a couple of different chainmail patterns - when I was looking at the linked photo of the Persian dragonscale he leaned over and went "Oh, yeah, I've made some of that!"

I'm hoping to get some major help from him on the construction of a costume I want to do for DragonCon 2010.

Have fun when you finally grow up and no girl wants to do the things you've seen in the videos with you! If you are so passionate about getting your rocks off that you see the 18+ age restrictions as a major infringement on your rights, you need to seriously take your hand off your cock and get a life.

Traipsed through the snowy woods with Husker and my sister's puppy. She was delighted. Now I'm drinking mulled cider by the fire and smelling the smells of baking pie and Christmas ham.

Merry Christmas everybody!

We got the dog a new beef bone and he has been chewing it passionately for over an hour. He finally gave up and flopped over in exhaustion. I guess it must just be that good?

Two Pyrat Hurricanes at Ruby Tuesday and I am feeling pretty fine.

Big batch of gingerbread cookies in the kitchen and all the shopping (grocery and gift) is done. Half day at work tomorrow, and with the kidling going out to see his mom for Christmas, I'll get to wander around my house in my underwear if I want.

Alright, back to enjoying my buzz...

Last year for St. Pat's I made shepherd's pie muffins - filled a muffin cup with mashed potato then made a little well in the center of each one and filled it with ground beef, peas, and Guinness. Highly recommended.

Video of my dog in the snow - I wasn't sure where they were, so I went to the basement door to look out into the yard, and Husker heard me and decided I was there to let him inside.

Bonus example of Steve's ridiculous dog voice.

So we'll have the same amount of turkey with twice the drumsticks :)

I decided to do ham for Christmas this year. 4.68 pounds of honey-baked goodness.

I would have gone for more, but ham is a lot more expensive than turkey - my Thanksgiving turkey was 27 lbs, but the grocery store was clearing out their frozen turkeys to make way for the fresh turkeys, so I got it for 39 cents a pound.

But seriously, it is the most visually spectacular thing I have ever seen. Full stop.

3D effects make me queasy. We have a very high quality setup in terms of audiovisual quality, but I will not be watching it in 3D either here OR in the theater.

A reputable agent will not represent your work unless they think they can sell it, and will only charge you a percentage based on the eventual sale of the script/story/novel/etc. If they don't sell your work, they don't get paid.

It's Dances with Wolves in space. I'll wait for the DVD, thanks.

Make sure you get some sort of receipt from them.

I'll shoot her an email and ask. :D

Seven - Steve is mailing out all the long-distance gifts tomorrow, but I'm holding yours back in the hopes that I can finish up one last thing before I have to ship it. I figure I still have a few days before I absolutely MUST ship it to get there by Christmas.

I've found them in the bakery section at my grocery store pretty much all year round...sometimes they have them themed for whatever the nearest holiday is.

If anyone feels like buying me a present for Christmas, my tattoo artist sells gift certificates...

I think he was implying that it was funny that his black coworker threatened him over KFC because it is a major stereotype of black people that they are violent and that they like fried chicken. ;)
