Why are the Montreal Canadians sometimes referred to as the "Habs?"

Short for Les Habitants.

(Which is French for "hockey team," or something like that.)

You know, as I was reading the thread, I was wondering how one would articulate the appropriate time period one should wait before asking one's partner to enact the Repressed Librarian/Overdue Borrower ("Mister Smith, our records show that 'Lady Chatterley's Lover' is weeks overdue...well, yes, there is a way for you to avoid that fine....") role playing scenario.

The Pet Name Standard is perfect. I trust that the drafters of the forthcoming Restatement of Relationships will circulate this for comment.

I believe that way back when, the team owner said that all the players were les habitants, which is a term that refers to the first settlers of Quebec (Habitant Pea Soup, anyone?) and means a farmer. He was joking but he said that all the players were local farmers. The name stuck.

It strikes me that the acceptable waiting period for the "please stamp my card" invite might differ from the "please pee on me" one.

Or maybe I'm just repressed.

I just realized that there are quite a few male and female fbers who know my pets' names.

Despite this, I will not pee on any of you, so please don't ask.

Think about it, "Hey, will you piss on me?"

"No"

"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?"

After the initial request, everything seems reasonable.

Yeah. Because the old "Wanna fuck?"

"No? Then How about a blow job" ploy works so very well.

I wouldn't know. I never had to go to the "No" branch of the flow chart.

clearly the guy is an exemplary time manager. he wants to be i a relationshiup but only with a shower reciever, so why go on ten dates to learn she doesnt receive.

C'mon, Just work up the nerve and ask the first question. You'll never know if you don't.

Perhaps RT's sister's friend would go "eww!" at the librarian scenario. Toe-may-toe, after all (although "different strokes" fits better here, eh?) Who can tell on a first date?

That's why the Pet Name Standard works -- presumably, by the time you find out little Fido's name, you'll have a better idea of her (your date, not Fido) taste in kink. Or lack thereof.

All I am saying is that while there are many things you might do that you woudlnt want to for your *lover*, getting peed on will never be one of them and the guy knows it. So he is cutting his losses.

If so, you might want to skip the spreading of molded replicas of your genatalia and go directly to selling your dating secrets ("all on one 60 minute cassette!") in the back of Car & Driver magazine.
