Ever notice how it's the little things in life that amuse us so much? More to the point, ever notice how it's the silly little idiocies in life that amuse us more than anything else? Well, this is not as much ''the little blog that could'' as it is ''the blog that enjoys going up the down escalator in your local mall.'' Will it have anything of real importance? No, probably not. But enjoy the ride never the less!

 

My wife is many, many things.

The most recent, and notably to my great surprise, is that apparently she now runs a scary LJ account that is distinctly not family friendly. Yep, according to that "what is your journal rating?" test, found here:

Mel's LJ is a distinct and definite Rated R.

I'm not sure how it happened. Perhaps there was a slight defect. Perhaps my finger slipped when clicking the mouse. Or else it has something to do with Mel mentioning the word "orgasm" somewhere in one of her few-and-far-between posts. And it's not like it was even one of mine she was talking about.




Heck, she could have just misspelled the word "organism," and penalized as a result.

Speaking of, there's this great anecdote from when I was at a summer camp years upon years ago. Now first off, you'll have to keep in mind that this place was a Christian summer camp. (Shocking, I know, but foreknowledge of this adds to the comedy.) One night, there's a guest speaker who is discussing the different viewpoints between creationism and evolutionary theories.

He starts off with evolution, and describes it as...

In the beginning, two orgasms got together and said, "Hey! Let's make another orgasm, and with any luck it'll eventually be more advanced." So these orgasms made more orgasms, and over millions of years (and a lot of trial and error) these orgasms became increasingly detailed and complex. Until today, where we now have the human orgasm, the most advanced orgasm on the earth.

...and for the entire presentation, he really did not realize why all of us were giggling repeatedly through his speech. I must confess to wondering just what sort of expression must have been on his face once he'd been told about how his Freudian slip was showing.

So let that be Today's Lesson to all of you would be LJers, bloggers and theological debaters out there: "orgasms" are R-rated.

And probably not worksafe.

In which case, I apologize to your boss. (But I'm still not liable.)
