Sneakeater Posted February 9, 2024 Share Posted February 9, 2024 (edited) Here's a lede I never would have expected to read in The Times when I was in, say, high school. Quote After Melissa, a 35-year-old event planner living in Chicago, masturbates, she sometimes studies a chart that resembles the output of a heart rate monitor or that of a seismograph capturing an earthquake. OTOH, just about everything I knew about women's lingerie in high school I learned from ads in the Sunday Magazine.

Yes, like they need a term for self-portrait or menage a trois or lip-synch, because I didn't just list three terms that work fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sneakeater Posted September 3, 2024 Author Share Posted September 3, 2024 (edited) The LL Cool J piece made me realize how sorry I am The Times dropped its rule that people be referred to as "Mr." or "Ms. X" and not by first names. They repeatedly refer to LL Cool J as "LL". How much cooler would it have been to say "Mr. Cool J"?

relbbaddoof Posted September 3, 2024 Share Posted September 3, 2024 I miss most of all being referred to as Herr Professor Doctor Relbbaddoof. The titles ring so beautifully off the oafish name. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm reminded of a piece in the Wall Street Journal many years ago that referred to Meat Loaf as Mr. Loaf. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
