Sneakeater Posted February 9 Share Posted February 9 (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 Author Share Posted September 3 (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"?

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...
