way to take harmless fun and make it all creepy.

I don't get that at all. Unless people are focussing on the "kill" as something other than discarding--and I've never got that from the instances of the game I've seen played.

Also, I don't know if they're "taking". We may be playing the bowdlerised version. Does anyone know which came first?

I learned it as Marry Fuck Kill, so when you guys were chucking instead of killing, I was confused.

Fuck, Chuck, Marry just *sounds* best anyway.

It sounds kind of like Upchuck Mary.

Fuck, chuck, marry rolls right off the tongue.

I just read that on March 8th, 2012, women should wear bright red lipstick in order to support this effort on International Women's Day. Making note in calendar now.

I learned it as "Date Fuck or Marry"--as in there was no escape, and at least one of the people you had to go on a date with. Sometimes people would say they'd fuck the most objectionable one, on the concept that it might take less time than a date would!

Killing just sounds violent to me, it's hard for me to rethink it as something benign. Same with the "If you could rape anyone?" question

I just read like 561835341 pages of posts, so I'm almost informed! Yay!!!

I've only run into that boy once since discovering the dreaded Facebook relationship status, so no progress on that front. Alas! But good looking, nice guys have been popping up around here like flies, so... that's good?

But I do have a funny story!

Once a cruise we do a 50s & 60s sock-hop type party. and my whole department is dressed up in costume as characters. I play the nerd (typecasting! yay!) with pigtails/ribbons, mis-matched socks, horrible plaid skirt, oversized sweater, etc., but I top it all off with a "kick me" sign on my back. It's all terribly over the top. I /always/ get a couple passengers who ask me if I know I have a sign on my back, but usually the crew I pass is just like "there goes the Cruise Staff being crazy again" and carry on.

But I got to the bar last night and someone I don't know came up to me. He seemed very concerned, and asked me if I was the girl with the pigtails and the yellow sweater the night before. I said, yeah, that's me. Then he said, "I.. well, I noticed that you had a 'kick me' sign on your back? And I just wanted to make sure that was there on purpose. I thought someone did that to you. Some other waiters who say they know you said it was part of your job, but... I was just concerned. Is someone being mean to you?"

It took lots of willpower not to just LOL at him, but aww! I mean, I was dressed SO outlandishly that the fact that anyone would think it was serious is a little puzzling, but I'm just going to be glad that someone I don't even know was ready to spring to my aid in defense.

double post, sorry!

ita !, what's the effort, exactly? And is the red lipstick a solidarity thing?

zuisa, that's so sweet! Good for him.
