When our son was about 3, and we would spell things in front of him so he wouldn't know what we were saying, and we got really fluent in "spell speak" (as in "Should we S-T-O-P for D-I-N-N-E-R"), we took him on a small trip to see how he would travel (we love traveling, so did he). We live in L.A. so decided to go with Vancouver. Because I am cheap we went right at the end of March (just moments before high season so half the price). So it was still pretty chilly. We went to the fantastic aquarium in Stanley Park, where we watched a dolphin show, sitting on icy cold concrete risers.

So, as we get up at the end of the show, I say pleasantly, and fairly loudly to my husband, "God, my C-U-N-T is frozen solid." My husband, drily: "Darling, other people do know how to spell." Oh my GOD. Thankfully Canadians are nothing but discreet and polite. It was hilarious.

Mr. Weiner is a sad excuse for a grown-up. Don't know how or why he went south on the humanity scale, but I hope he'll get help and finish his life in obscurity.

But making a point of the guy being 51, as opposed to just of legal age? Is there a creep-out scale that goes up as the age difference rises. Not that we don't find it creepy, but writing on 19th century history, when marriages between men over 40 and teen-aged women (in the thinking of the day) weren't all that uncommon, I've been wondering when this went from acceptable to odd to illegal. Even in the late 20th century older men being sexually attracted (or even having sex with) teen-aged girls was the subject of humor. Think of Otter in Animal House. And even more recently, "Cougars" — women who were attracted to teen-aged boys — were being either semi-celebrated as pushing the bounds of equality, or exploited for jokes, too. And let's not get into "Airplane!" where pedophilia was a running gag.

This is in England, where people get good educations.

Well, yeah, there is that "WTF is wrong with the guy??" reaction, but I wonder if we wouldn't have the same reaction is it turns out the girl was of legal age.

Well, Huma just won full custody, without trying. But a question, is vile, violent, creepy sexxxy TALK with a minor a crime? Assuming that this time he managed not to send her pixxx of his junk? Or is inciting her to strip crimey enough (NOT asking for a friend, just an inquiring mind).
