@quatrevingtquatre: I actually can't stand the canned laughter that most sitcoms use now, and find it much easier to laugh during shows when there's a full audience genuinely laughing, too. A live studio audience brings such great energy to a show. I think the reason it was distracting here was that the show was being filmed live, and the whole process was a bit different (actors' deliveries, camerawork, etc) and it messed up the overall energy a little, and drew more attention to the audience.
@charnels: Yeah, the picture falling was definitely intentional. The blooper was Tracy's line flub at the end of the scene. Just a little detail, sure, and he made it work, but he got pretty obviously tongue-tied trying to spit out that last line about Dot Com's play. I'm pretty sure the whole scene was just in the clip for context.
@mardukthemagnificent: I'm not totally sure if you can or not. Like I said, I've always felt a natural urge to pee after sex, even if it's, um... the kind without a partner. But I have a feeling that any kind of fiddling down there with your lady parts and other people's parts and fluids and friction has the potential to work bacteria up into your urethra. Or it could just be divine punishment. Who knows?
@CassandraSays: As I recall from the last time someone told me about it, the analogy goes like this: You are tape. When you have sex, it's like sticking your tapey self onto the skin of your partner and peeling yourself off again. The more partners you have sex with, the less sticky you become from all the skin cells and lint and stuff that you pick up, so that when you meet the man you want to marry, you won't be able to stick to him properly because of all the sticking you did before. You'll be RUINED! And no one will want to marry you ever.
I'm pretty sure that's how it goes. Same idea as how you can never get the lollipop back in the wrapper properly after it's been taken out and licked, which, if I ever planned on getting disemboweled by my sexual partner, would be very sage advice.
I've always felt a natural urge to pee after sex, and never really thought about it until my first girlfriend laughed at me for my weird and freakish habit (being pretty ignorant on the subject herself), and I googled "peeing after sex" out of concern for my health. Guess who was laughing the next time we hit the sheets?
@returnonthehoney: I have a friend who likes to refer to strap-ons as "clitoral extensions." Just because it looks like a dildo doesn't mean it's thought of as a substitute penis. Sort of like the difference between a gay man having anal sex with a woman versus with another man. The physical sensations are probably quite similar, but the overall experience is very different, if that makes sense.
@KookyMonster: Sounds like a great reason for a ban on ALL marriage to me! New economic strategy = Nationwide federally-mandated annulments! You all owe back taxes for the years you were now never married!
@Nayrlladnar: I feel the same way. But this law/debate isn't about the value of marriage as an institution; it's about the rights of couples to enter into it.
It's sort of like telling the Suffragettes, "Why do you girls even want the right to vote? All the candidates are terrible." Not everyone feels that way, and it's not your decision to make on behalf of an entire population. If I don't want to vote, I won't. If I don't want to get married, I won't. But the choice has to be mine.
@Nijimei: Yay! Fangirls rule! Mysterious Skin is one of my all-time favourite movies. Enjoy! Also yeah, I totally ship Arthur/Eames. hackthis has some great fic recs on her LiveJournal, if you haven't already seen these:
