Also, you can tell it's not gonna have a happy ending when the main guy's all bumpy.

I am amused that a) there are only 2 that I recognize -- Tar Heel and Knickerbocker except for the ones that are "nicknamed" their state (Utah, Wyoming Territory, etc)

Jayhawkers, Hawkeyes, Badgers, Wolverines? They seem to be down with (midwestern) college sports anyway. Also an Illinois company putting this out and calling Illinois "sucker" doesn't hurt. Also also, there is no Minnesota in this world. Andi and Daniel aside, I'm good with that.

In conclusion, strange and awesome.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Man, I can't believe I missed Real Sex on MTV the first time round. It makes me feel like I'm 12, because I can't stop giggling. They had a big segment on Hedonism in Jamaica, with a bunch of black naked tourists, and they just had another segment on Miss Black Nude Beauty, and lo, the the prize for winning is a week at Hedonism.

I was just trying to explain Hedonism to a friend who wanted a Jamaican couple vacation and I'm wondering--how did Jamaica become a destination for sex tourism and I never hear about the rest of the Caribbean? Or do I only know about it because I'm from there? Where are the other sex hotels?

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Also also, there is no Minnesota in this world.

Isn't Minnesota the "Gopher (it)" one?

Cats to become a rabbit should gather immediately now here

I saw"corn cracker" and then my eyes just glided over the midwest.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

Missouri. The whole map is weirdly distorted.

Having that bittersweet chocolate. Dagoba Eclipse, nom nom nom.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

I had bittersweet chocolate earlier tonight, but I might have some more.

...yup, having more.

The puke state is the one that really gave me pause.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I'm glad there are people around here still willing to celebrate the holidays.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Do you think there's a place where people who appeared naked and dirty on Real Sex can go and anonymously complain about the choices they made in public fifteen years ago?

I'm transfixed. And I can't imagine HBO making shows like this anymore, but I'm new to the station.

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 really shouldn't feel uncomfortable about talking to Dad about wanting some of Mom's ashes, should I? And yet, I do. I don't know how to have that conversation with him.

I can see it feeling awkward to bring up but I think your dad will totally understand even be very supportive of you.
