she's gonna kick your ass, right after she gets done with me

So to speak.

I'm going as a "vintage VW owner." I'm gonna walk around everywhere, and bum rides and stuff. My son is going as a ghostbuster (purchased costume), and my daughter is little red riding hood (my wife made a fabulous costume, she's quite a sewer.) My wife wants to be a "raunchy pirate queen."

That's how it seems to me, too. The few "non-standard" families I've come across struck me as very happy. I guess some people like chocolate, and some people like vanilla, and some people like chocolate AND vanilla?

I already am married (with children), and am quite happy in a monogamous relationship, as is my wife. However, we both know (and know of) several "couples" of three people. They seem happy and the children seem happy. It occurs to my wife and I that perhaps it is possible to love more than one person. Why not? I also disagree with your comment that a male and female parent are the best option. I know two young children who are being raised by a lesbian couple. They are doing a great job, better than many male/female couples I know. Why are three parents automatically bad, if everybody loves each other? I thought it was an interesting thing to ponder. Don't you?

Hey, looking for a partner for Sat/Sun. Nothing specific in mind I'm thinking rock in the 8 and 9 range, or some steep snow / moderate alpine ice. Any ideas?

Do you think monogamy is a natural state of affairs for humans? I'm not so sure. Has anybody here ever had an "open" relationship with someone? I know of a threesome (a woman and two men) that apparently are very happy. Academically, I think monogamy is probably a cultural invention. But at the same time, it's hard to imagine it being any other way. Food for thought.

Being told I can't travel there makes me want to go.

Welcome to Paradise. We're running out of virgins.

I hear Cuba has an amazing healthcare infrastructure.

Say fuck bush all you want, but don't ever say fuck america. If you don't like America, then you should go someplace you'll be happier.

Dan and I did the route in October once. I would not recommend it.

According to my doctor, some people can build an immunity to it. But, he says, not to iocane.

Interesting. I spent the last few years building up an immunity to iocane powder.

Friday should be an awesome index day, too. You can make it, Rad.

err...OK, someone give me the abridged version. Is someone claiming that cyclists present the same burden on our health care system as obese people? Or that if all of the fat people started riding bikes things would be even worse? I'm having trouble shutting off my brain long enough to read this thread.

What if you give a bicyle to an obese kid?
