Phaedrus

Who knows? It may well be more difficult for a MP to open (since they're inherently more... obvious... than independent operators), but I really can't think of any good reason why there wouldn't be any indies. I'd be surprised... given that SPs seem to do fine in Orleans and around, I can't imagine it'd be that hostile an environment for MAs too. And I'm not aware that there's any bylaws in areas smaller than the city as a whole (although I may be entirely wrong about this :)

Many congratulations, Berlin! Awesome!

It'd be funny if it wasn't so sad. At least they acknowledge homosexuality exists in their country, unlike other nations in the region.

Thanks for the link to the obit, Andy - most interesting! On the subject of odd things: Ozric Tentacles - Oddentity

I don't know how many of them have hot tubs, but I'm sure quite a few would be happy to start off with a shower for two if you asked them nicely :) Seriously, your best bet on this is probably to decide who you'd like to see and then ask her directly. Unless you really have your heart set on the hot tub, in which case your options may be rather more limited...

I'm pretty sure that was originally Oscar Wilde's witticism :) One from me, paraphrased: Of course gods exist. But there's no point worshiping them. It just encourages the buggers. -- Terry Pratchett And also, of course, the one in my sig. I think of this one every morning when I can't face getting out of bed just yet :)

Discovering that chocolate-covered bacon is nowhere near as awesome as it sounds.

There's a reason why cat-owners sometimes get clawed to death...

Oops! Although I have to say, this kinda makes me sad.

Well, I can't deny that he has a point. I have to admit, the "everybody gets a prize" mentality annoys the hell out of me too. Unfortunately this point isn't actually opposed - or even relevant - to the one the Occupy protestors are making (and despite his protestations to the contrary, they *do* have a point). I think he's over-generous on the three and a half days, though. Giving them a cabin? Pah. Let them built a bivouac, or pray for good weather... :)

Wow. If rhythmic gymnastics can be an Olympic sport, I see no reason why that shouldn't be.

Sounds... entertaining. I have to ask, though - is this traditionally done on the last day of February, for Feb 29th? It won't matter this time around, but... Also - does the infamous FB BBM agency really need further encouragement? :)

Conversely, there seem to be more independent SPs in the east end than the west. I have no idea what conclusions to draw from this :)

Also CMJ and Angel's Touch in the south end of town, which isn't too far away. Presumably you can travel a bit, or you wouldn't be in Far-haven in the first place :)

Why on earth not? You're still taking up the same amount of the lady's time, whether you spend it in bed or tied to the wall or dining in a top-notch restaurant. Which was, I think, the point Nicki was making in the first place. Unless, of course, you're looking to embark on a relationship outside the hobby, which is a whole different ballgame...

I don't think so... but since I started down this road, I haven't tried monogamy so I can't really give you a definitive answer even for myself. I'm afraid I completely fail to see what this has to do with whether anyone was "exposed hardcore porn at a relatively young age", though. Do you think there may be a correlation between this and either participation in this hobby or monogamy in general?

Since we're talking about riverboats now.... Sorry :)

Yep, absolutely. Separate email, separate phone. Information wants to be free, and once it's out you can never get it back...

Oh, I love the bassline on that.... Anyway, when you get to the river, you'll need... a boat! Ocean Colour Scene - The Riverboat Song http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IdnJbN5KEUg

Ah, it's a shame I won't get to met you... Best of luck with whatever you're doing next!

Awesome job, LD!
