> [@Lobsang](#): > > You a woman? Every so often, something as simple as a sentence fragment can trigger a memory from WAY back. In this case to the Mad Magazine parody of the “Howdy Doody Show”, which gives you an idea of just how FAR back. Anyway, Cowboy Bob’s “Injun” sidekick finally got around to asking Clarabelle the Clown (called “Claribella” in the parody) a question he had been wanting to ask for a long time: “_Is you a woman_?” (“He has a woman’s name, right, bubula?”) This question apparently infuriated Claribella, and he (she?) reached for his seltzer bottle… and they all wound up drinking Scotch and seltzer. On a kid’s show. Man, the stuff you remember… We now return you to your regularly scheduled thread. ---

If I found her attractive (which I don’t) and she was 22 that would be normal. If I found her attractive and she was 18, that would be slightly creepy. ---

Eh… still not seeing the creepiness. But then, I dated a 29 year old when I was 16\* and a 34 year old when I was 20. I think that an 18 year old and a 25 year old is a pretty normal age gap. I don’t know anyone who would blink an eye at that–especially if it’s a 25 year old guy and an 18 year old woman. \*never had sex with him, just so’s you know ---

SHe’s 18 Is she? Well, I’m 20, so that doesn’t make me skeevy. > [@Lobsang](#): > > Ah, Jude Law. Now he’s one dude I’d like to have as my best mate. Mmm, also a beautiful, beautiful man . . .
