Jenine: "I've made a conscious effort to be completely different from my father."
Me: "What did your Dad do?"
Jenine: "He was a bassist and singer."
Her dad is Lemmy?

Pecs like dinner plates, and gods forbid men should have body hair.
I remember when Sean Connery was Bond and hairy chests were dead sexy. I also remember a quote from one of Connery's ex-wives who, while commenting on his infidelity, said something about the only thing he kept her around for was to shave his back before the shirt-off scenes.
These days anyone on film who is classified as 'sexy' basically has no visible hair below nose-level - male or female.
It can make the fuzzier amongst us a tad self-conscious at the pools.
And I can point out that you'll never hear the phrase "I love a man with a hairy back, its soooo masculine" on the telly (except possibly in jest). -
It would be more conclusive if repeated by someone else.
I volunteer ...................... Keith for the job. -
It looks a lot like one of the teachers from my kids' school isn't coming back from her holiday. They aren't in her class, but a lot of their friends are.

Racism matters when it's exercised by a group with a power relationship to a weaker group.
Which means it was racist when the brown boys bullied me in PE at good old Tokoroa High for my pale geekiness?

Tom - Majority support and democratically elected are not necessarily the same thing. cf Bush, GW; Banks, J.
Loving the new edit option, BTW.

My Mum (60ish) really wants a T shirt that says "Michael Laws is a whanker".

I was at a tasting of Croucher's just over a week ago.
They have a Hefeweizen, a Pale Ale and a Bohemian Pilsener. They have 4th type, a Belgian Blonde, which is only occasionally available, as they only brew it by mistake.Paul Croucher, the owner/brewmaster etc gave us his bio and philosophy of brewing. Somehow it makes the beer taste even better when the brewer is explaining the love and attention that went into its manufacture.
I enjoyed the Hef, although the batch we had was a trifle young, and could have stood another week or three in the keg to mature.
The Pils was very tasty, but not very traditional - the Pilsener fan we had with us was disappointed, not in the beer, but in the label. In his opinion it bordered on false advertising.
I didn't try the Pale Ale, as I had to drive, but the ones who did spoke highly of it. -
I think there's a bit of an ideal-world/real-world dichotomy happening in the conversation. I think pretty much everyone here has agreed that it is every woman's right to wear whatever they like, wherever they like, for whatever reason. And it is every woman's right not to be harrassed, assaulted or worse.
However, there are a number of unenlightened types out there, who become less enlightened when they drink and travel in packs. It has been pointed out that its not just women who can be targetted through no fault of their own.
In the real world, however sad it might be, it makes sense not to wear a pork chop around your neck if you wander through places where hyenas lurk. -
They might be violent boofheads, but at least they are eloquent violent boofheads! "Contributed to the melée" indeed.
