I just said that you're pretty. Even when you're covered in...engine grease, you're... No, especially, especially when you're covered in engine grease.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommy, I'm totally ignoring that post of yours. Too much trauma.

Heh. I mean, sorry.

Washington Post disses Flav and Chuck D, then apologizes

From the department of "most ridiculous newspaper corrections evah," this from the Washington Post: "A Nov. 26 article in the District edition of Local Living incorrectly said a Public Enemy song declared 9/11 a joke. The song refers to 911, the emergency phone number."

Heh.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

I think my parents' key censorship is on what we can consume together. Which is fair.

I saw Mulholland Falls with my parents and am still traumatized by it. Though, damn, Jennifer Connelly had amazing breasts before she got crazy skinny.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My mother took me and my sister to see the infamous Robert Mapplethorpe exhibit when I was in high school

We may have been there at the same time! (I saw it 3 times -- once with one of my college classes [I was, quite conveniently, taking a class on the 1st Amendment at the time], once with my college roommate, and once with a friend who couldn't get anyone else to go with her.)

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

At 16, I sat next to my mom in the theater and watched Body Heat.

I was still blushing three weeks later.

Not unless you went to Boston to see it, Steph! (It traveled; Cincinnati just gave it the most kerfuffle, natch.)

I am SO grateful for my dad's addiction to sci-fi, and my mother's addiction to romance. Censorship was never an issue.

I am starting to suspect that Erin and I have the same parents.

You know, I couldn't remember if you ever lived here pre-college, and I thought I would have remembered if you and Nutty had, but then I thought maybe you visited someone, and and and...

So went my thought process.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

The first weekend my mother met Ethan, we all went out to see Boogie Nights together. She was totally unphased.

And yet, she stopped taking movie recommendations from me for almost a year after I suggested Heavenly Creatures.

Freak.

(In my defense, I was totally not thinking of that part of the plot when I gave her the DVD. But I can see how it might have stood out if my daughter had given it to me.)

I was born in Cincinnati and lived there until I was three (1972-1975). My father moved back (he grew up there) when I was in college (like, 1992?), and I (coincidentally) went to grad school there from 1995-2000.

And then I moved away and THEN you and I met!
