SEX PARTIES IN NEW YORK, THEY'RE MORE COMMON THAN YOU THINK
That was the #3 story on Channel 7 TV news tonight. What is real for whoever attends those parties is merely fantasy - wishful or tsk tsk - for the vast majority of the TV audience. So why is it news?
Are sex parties more common than I think? Well, first, I've never thought much about how common they are. So I wasn't asking the question. Although I imagine teen sex parties happen a lot more than they did back in 1966. & I always copped out anyway when the opportunity to orgy presented itself, like at Woodstock or when a girlfriend & I were invited to "swing" with another couple we knew.
Sex is everywhere, yet it is possible to become involved with a partner for whom sex doesn't make even the Top Ten of enjoyable pastimes, rating below (these are not euphemisms) walkin' the dogs, feedin' the birds, pettin' the pussies, suckin' the salsa, climbin' the ladder, strokin' the brush, dippin' the stick, lickin' the popsicle, changin' the oil, whackin' the weeds.
So much news is completely contrived. Channel Two was touting a Special Report on "Can the food at Disneyworld Make you Sick?" Another question we weren't asking. & they investigated it, or maybe some other station did & WABC used the material. & what did they uncover? Eight reported cases of alleged food poisoning for all of 2003, for over one-hundred Disneyworld eateries. & inspection violations on the order of "vegetables held at the wrong temperature." Of course, there are numberless upset stomachs & pukings at any amusement park. But the food at any typical Jersey diner probably causes more than eight cases of food poisoning per year, what with undercooked eggs, thawed fish, room temperature whipped cream on pastries; with all items in a ten page menu prepared by a single Mexican short order cook who speaks little English, mistakes & oversights happen. The real story is how the food at Disneyworld seems to be remarkably safe.
The small print: Iraq casualties 2/3/04 - 2/10/04: 5 dead, 29 wounded, + 50 Iraqis killed in a single car bomb explosion.
