Which was freakier -- him bringing up kids, or him requesting a golden shower?

Both of those are things not to raise on the first date. Or the first 10 dates.

Or on the same date, frankly. "I want a woman who will pee on me and bear my children." Umm.. sure.

Though I guess he's gotten over any madonna/whore issues, which is nice.

"Well if you won't do what I really want, how about you put on this nurse's outfit and thigh high leather boots, blow me for 20 minutes, and then I hit slot C for a while?"

What is it with nurses? That's a fetish I truly don't understand (nurses in thigh high leather boots I understand, but I would ditch the nurse's costume, or exchange it for pretty much anything).

Can anyone explain why nurses are at all interesting? Perhaps I'm missing something obvious, or perhaps my aversion comes from having spent too much time in hospitals with real nurses, in circumstances where event he sexy ones aren't sexy.

from page six:

WHICH hot couple that openly enjoys threesomes is on the rocks? The actor hubby's wife pays more attention to the other hotties in their bed . . .

My money is on the Stamos'. Or perhaps the Corey Feldmans. Anyone?

Would it help if he added "but not at the same time!"??

I don't get it either:

And: Weird Al Yankovic's parents are found dead in their home, apparently of carbon monoxide poisoning. Which is really sad - make note to get a CM detector.

It looks like Fran Drescher playing Meadow as a nursing school student. gag

It was the only decent picture I could find. You try typing "sexy nurse" into google and see what you come up with*...

*sexy German nurses peeing on each other.

But what did you expect me to say - it is fine for them to avoid the legal obligations attached to their licenses by being racist?

Not at all. I just wanted to point out that these regulations have no teeth.

Seriously, dude, if I were you I'd carry a mini-tape recorder for a week or so and note the medallion numbers of every cab that passes you, and file a complaint about every last one of them with the TLC. Hell, if you just record the numbers & the rough times, I'll do the paperwork for you (it's fuckin' slow around here anyway). The TLC can't crack down and take their licenses unless they get reported, and if they suffer no penalty there is no reason for them not to keep doing it. It might be a pain in the ass, and you shouldn't have to do it, but it might make you feel better to report some of the assholes and know that at least someone is geting this shit on their employment records and isn't just letting them get away with it.

eta: besides, the simple sight of you reading their information into a recorder may convince them to pick you up thinking you are part of a sting anyway

That's actually a great idea. And I think I'll start doing it.

I think it comes from a "you have submitted yourself to me bodily, and I will (in the course of offering "medical care") touch you more intimately than you might want your own wife to, and I am a professional and this isn't personal so it is OK, and I am wearing rubber gloves while I do it" thing. And perhaps sort of a "mommy takes care of you thing" - it always struck me as a remarkably infantilizing fantasy. Not everyone's cup of tea, but I could see where some of this might appeal to some folk. The fact that this is a pretty heavily retro fantasy/fetish is telling - I think nurses were sort of the mid-century version of "co-eds": independent, "liberated" unmarried girls who were really all out there looking for a man.

That and, of course, the certain knowledge that all nurses are hot sluts who are banging all the doctors in the supply closets, as everyone knows.

Damn woman, do you have to destroy all our private pleasures?

(Actually, I was never big into the nurse fantasy, but now it's definitely off the list.)

One concept: Sponge Baths.

Wowee!

We did talk a little here about Brian Worth, the Average Joe II finalist. Big nose, receding chin, heavy-duty Boston accent (he actually used "wicked pissah" in a non-ironic way on the show), but he became the audience favorite because he was witty and genuine. But Larissa picked the other guy, a contractor from Florida who chewed gum incessantly, didn't make much eye contact, and hoped to parlay his stint as an AJ spoiler into an acting career.

Yeah, I was disappointed, and now that the Average Joe series is 0 for 3 on picking the right person, a bit disenchanted.

My mother's a nurse.

You people are disgusting.

Sorry.

Guess you're glad I didn't go into the reverse-penetration imagery inherent in a woman giving you a shot, eh?

On the other hand, I'm a big fan of the "repressed librarian takes off her glasses and bursts free of her tweeds in a frenzy of explosive erotic liberation" fantasies, myself, since it is the one that best plays to my general [self?] image.
