Pierce is not having such a great year, but sometimes you get to make it partly on the basis of past achievements.

B. Yes.

C. Men's Room. Women will yell at a guy in their bathroom, guys will just cheer you all on.

Heroin doesn't appear to be quite as bad as everyone commonly thinks it is. It is apparently only slightly more addictive than alcohol, and not nearly so much as cigarettes (though, of course, the cognitive impairment is quite different).

I have read the same thing about how addictive various substances are, and I wonder what is meant by that. I mean, I am willing to go along with you that heroin may not be quite as bad as everyone thinks it is (depending on how bad we collectively think it is, I suppose, whatever that means). I also agree that some people can and do use it recreationally without much ill effect. But to say it is not so bad because it is less addictive than cigarettes seems to be missing part of the equation.

Let me first qualify by saying that I have never done heroin and have never smoked tobacco (seriously). But, I have talked to (and read about) people that have kicked both. Kicking a long smoking habit sounds really unpleasant. We're talking very, very unpleasant here. But, um, kicking heroin sounds like living hell, and even that may be a bit mild. And then there is the whole "your life is so completely consumed by heroin so that you can focus on nothing other than somehow getting enough money so that you can fix again" thing. There is no Ministry song called "Just One Puff," although I would be quite surprised to learn that Al Jourgensen did not fancy the occasional cancer stick. Oh yeah, then there is the whole overdosing thing. I know lots of people that drink a lot more than they should. Hell, dubious French heart disease studies notwithstanding, I think we would all be better off if we never drank alcohol. But, we all know lots of people who have gone through periods of heavy binge drinking and who have been able to snap back without much trouble. Lots of people who go through periods of heavy binge heroin use just don't live long enough to snap back.

I ain't preaching about the devil in the needle here - if you think heroin is the thing for you, then go for it. Candidly, it sounds like one hell of a fantastic "high," and I think the VU are totally groovy. But to say it is not so bad because it is less addictive than cigarettes seems to be missing part of the equation. Oh wait, did I say that already?

I started the poll in a failed effort to get an interesting post for the 5k, but thanks for front loading your post with constructive criticism.

Haven't done it.

As for the location, the women's room is undoubtedly cleaner, but the guy in there is likely to be beaten, thrown out, arrested or a combo of the three...

Women in the men's room, especially very drunk women at a concert or sporting event, is a fairly common occurrence. Double standard? The other guys in the room would be very rowdy, however, if you tried to have sex in there...

Okay, no biddies in the BK Lounge. But, I can answer this one in the affirmative. I can't think of anything that wouldn't be better in the women's room. Fucking men's room is disgusting. Besides, the women outside the stall giggle when they hear you and then peak inside. Some even congratulate you when you're leaving the bar.

You can avoid most nastiness by having her sit on the (clean) toilet seat while giving you head and then bending her over so that she's holding onto the door knob. Or, if the sink looks okay, put her up there. No problem, really.

Make sure it's a high-class jurnt if you're going to kneel to blow me, though. A champagne bar usually qualifies.

Fuck you very much.

And isn't the percentage of k posts that are interesting significantly lower than other posts?

TM, I would quote you, but someone started a new thread.
About the Yao v. Shaq voting, remember that All-Star voting was implemented in Mandarin this year.
That said, people, like me, are tired of Shaq and his baggage and his overinflated ego. People are not yet tired of Kobe.

You say that despite the studies that conclude teh number and volume of bacteria in women's rooms is significantly higher?

That's because your typical bacterium can't live in the guy's room and hauls its microbial ass out of there...

I have done the sex in a dorm bathroom. It was the men's bathroom, and not my dorm. I thought it was better because (i) I could watch the guy shave first (which I quite enjoy) and so ensure he was shaved and wouldn't give me beard-rash (which I don't enjoy) and (ii) as Bilmore indicated, mens rooms seem better to me because, with guys if someone walks in on you you can just say "fuck off" and they'll respectfully leave, while women tend to scream or giggle or get flustered or offended and stupid shit like that. However, men's rooms are also uniformly more disgusting than women's rooms, so if it was a really public restroom I'd have to say women's rooms are better purely because women tend not to piss all over everything the way men do.

I've also done the sex in multiple bathrooms in private houses in which I am staying as a guest, but I would imagine that qualifies as a "home bathroom" for these purposes.

I also highly recommend doing it in the luxurious bathrooms of really expensive hotels, because they have spacious tubs and nice towels and sometimes benches in the showers and you can make a mess and leave it for the maid.

I have also done it in a sauna (unisex, I guess). That was not as fun as I had thought it would be. Really left me wanting a shower.

Dammit, yes.

Oh me, did I suggest that your post wasn't interesting? Gee, I didn't mean to do it ... that way. So sorry. Will it help if I say it was meant to be, um, constructive criticism?

I fear you've been watching too much Cinemax with Less lately.
