I Sense A Theme Here (or, "don't you think of anything else?!")
Sadly, it's been much too long since the last little bit of nowhere manifested itself, and in the meantime many a small, irreverent and ultimately irrelevant anecdote has also manifested. Alas, there is not time yet to explain to you all the mysterious wonders of such things as the Boob-bag and what colour could be best described as "vomit-inducing."
However, there is enough time to share with you all one more thing you probably are goin to roll your eyes and quote one part or the other of the opening title to this entry. Recently, as Mel & I went on yet another excursion out to the local Chapters bookstore (which is always an ordeal, since we either come out bookless and crying about it; or with a lot of books and no money and we're crying about that too), we discovered that they had some boardgames on for 50% off.
I can only presume they were Valentine's Day-themed board games, given the nature and thematics. Love, sex and the verbage involving both of those words tends to harken to the whole slapping-women-and-plants-with-goat-hide tradition of Valentine's. As I bought an interesting book for Mel about psychological theories behind love, chemical pheromones and Maslov's Hierarchy of Needs. Mel, on the other hand, bought one of the boardgames:
Sex Drive.
Sex Drive sounds like one of those racy siblings to
Dirty Minds, where you dissolve into giggles over the innuendo and watching good friends and teammates/opponents boggle over various sexual-oriented things.
Sex Drive, however, is like Jeopardy, if Jeopardy had categories all about sex and gameplay was akin to Trivial Pursuit. There is fun to be had, and it is very educational, but I found that more often than not I found myself thinking, "Damn, this game is about sex, and my knowledge is based around perversions thereof! Why can't the two cross paths!"
Or else I'm just sore because Mel cordially handed my ass to me on a silver platter. As she walked away with her 6th "pie" (out of a possible 8), I was stuck on trying to get my first damned question answered right. I couldn't even move elsewhere or anywhere on the board until I had that first right answer. Gyaaaaaa....
All in all,
Sex Drive does have its moments, but for the most part you'll be educated instead of entertained. Just look at me and the terrifying truth behind
Today's Lesson: after discovering what part of the male anatomy "meatus" refers to, I never ever want to read that in a story, be it fiction, fanfiction or a lemon.
