Alright this is for all of you out there but especially my buddy DW, my personal saint Dijon and my adopted mommy Jedi Girl: If you could take a pill that would make you immune to all STDs and diseases but… big but here… you could never have an orgasm again, would you do it? Kitty ---

FairyPrincessKitty– Not in a million years. Without orgasms, I’d have no need for STD immunity. Rather like a pill that will make you immune to food poisoning, but you could never eat again. Absolutely no point to it. Now, if you can offer me a pill for _unlimited_ orgasms without the risk of disease, then you’ll be my favorite person in the entire Universe. 😃 Not that you aren’t already…🆒 ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Jedi Girl \* > \*\*I’d choose to be leia. Don’t really know why (except maybe that the friend I started this thread for tells me i remind him of leia - and he’s a star wars person, so it’s a compliment) 🙂 > > The problem with both of them is that at certain points they had REALLY weird hair styles…but leia was just so much cooler…😃 > > What about you quasar? \*\* **JediGirl** Before Return of the Jedi I would have no doubt selected Luke, but, after witnessing his spiritual metamorphosis into a Buddhist monk, I have lost some sympathy towards him. So, it is Han Solo all the way. He is cool, heroic, and witty. Some of his lines: Leia: I love you Han: I know Han: How are we doing? Luke: Same as always Han: That bad, huh? **Now, to your selection of Leia over Amidala.** I really never liked Leia. Amidala, on the other hand, is sweet, beautiful, smart and heroic. Leia encompasses only the last 2 adjectives. So yeah, I will stick it into Amidala, I mean, ahem, I will sticK WITH Amidala. 😃 Of course, if Nathalie Portman had played Leia instead of Amidala I probably would have had a totally different opinion. ---

Dijon, you wouldn’t be susceptible to any diseases though, do you know how long you could live? Besides, isn’t it the experience that’s oh so wonderful? Or is it just because I’m a girl? Anywayz, well I would want to reincarnate a walf/dog mix with really loving owners. Because I’m half feline/canine as it is and wolves are the greatest animals on earth, I mean look at our prime example DW here. Jedi Girl I’m still waiting for your answer to my last question. Okay next question… I know most of you probably hate boy bands but you have to admit that pop songs occasionally have sweet lyrics, which would you be most likely to dedicate to your SO? Kitty ---

Oh, Kitty. Flattery will get you _everywhere_. You are such a sweet talker 🙂 Half feline / half canine you say? Here’s question: do you ever chase yourself through the house? OK, your questions. Live forever (in theory) with no diseases, but never have an orgasm again? Hmmmm. You know, for us wolves, that’s like being all bark and no bite. Would I be able to have all the sex I want, all the time, on demand? But still no orgasms, huh? I suspect I wouldn’t have to worry about dying from disease, because I would explode in, like, a week. It would be quite a scene. Or I would find the closest railroad tracks and step in front of the Frustration Express. So Kitty, you _really_ think you could live without orgasm? Does the end not justify the means? Experience is great, but it’s results that count! Next question. Boy bands? _Boy bands?_ Urf. Maybe if the lyrics were… Ooh yeah Baby Baby I’ve got this little pill That protects you from diseases AND lets you come at will Shoop Sha-doop It’s the best of both worlds… ---

“Lying in your arms, So close together Didn’t know just what I had. Now I toss and turn Cuz I’m without you How I’m missing you so bad.” Some of it is sweet and some of it hits way too close to home for comfort. Not the song above, I’ve never been that cruel or stupid. But can you be so very quick to judge the lyrics DW? I don’t acknowledge that those guys are real people but who ever writes their lyrics ain’t half bad. I can relate to the whole frustration thing, not in precisely the same way but I can relate. I probably wouldn’t take it, I have my whole life ahead of me and I’d rather get the sniffles and other stuff and learm to deal with it while enjoying myself than be whimpering in frustration. Then again, with the guys I’ve known… oh nevermind I won’t go into that. _eyes widen_ [http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40375](http://boards.straightdope.com/sdmb/showthread.php?threadid=40375) So DW, how would you like to spend some time at my place? _kitty grin_ Kitty ---

Okay. Household appliance? Does a whip count? If not, a refridgerator, that bright fridge light in the middle of darkness is so reassuring. Plus its frigid. Shoes? Those sexy boots that come halfway up to your ass. Band- do you mean part of the band, or the actual band itself? Umm, Tool, or Pink Floyd. Car part? Car radio! The most important PART of the car. That, or the dashboard lights. ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by ThisYearsGirl \* > if you were a household appliance/pair of shoes/band/car part/etc., what would you be? Household appliance: Microwave. I heat up quickly. Pair of shoes: Good hiking boots. Strong and durable, yet flexible enough to adapt to all types of terrain. Band: Would have to be the Grateful Dead. Long lasting, able to survive all types of turmoil. Well versed in improvisation, and a tendency to go late into the night. Never a perfect performance, and the occassional screw-up is part of the show. Not a mainstream act, but loved dearly by those that know. Car part: Suspension. Always trying to negotiate a bumpy ride. **Kitty** OK, nice lyrics, even if it _is_ a boy band. Something most can relate to. It’s hard to avoid, and the frustration of missing someone or of lost love is proportionate to the depth of your feelings. Hey, is that a standing offer, FP? Hope you have plenty of Wolf Chow. I work up quite an appetite. ---

We’ve talked about my answer to that question, as I recall. Or you can ask me in person again, I just don’t feel like typing right now. 😃 Amadala was an interesting character, but Leia was so much better…unless you like amadala for the fact that she was played by natalie portman…the original trilogy was so much better. 🙂 Jedi Girl PS. My Question: What do you define a soul mate as? ---

DW, of course it’s a standing offer. About the food, I have a demon mutt from all eternal hell AND a teenage guy at my house, trust me, we don’t lack food, there would be a mutiny if we did. Now would you like to continue our conversation from the pillow fight? Though my bed is just so much more comfy. Dijon, but you can live forever theoretically and make a difference in the world. Isn’t that so much more important? I would want to live in Belgarath The Sorceror by David Eddings. Just because interacting with gods would be a really great experience and being able to morph into different animals seems really fun. Can I be a wolf? Can I please? I promise I’ll be good DW, honest. Kitty ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by Fairy Princess Kitty \* > \*\*Dijon, but you can live forever theoretically and make a difference in the world. Isn’t that so much more important? > > Kitty \*\* Awww, geez…appealing to my social conscience…that’s sooooo underhanded. 😉 Now I’m feeling all guilt-trippy. Tell you what, you come up with the pill, and _then_ I’ll decide. How’s that for weasely? 😛 BTW, I mentioned Little, Big as the book I would most like to live in. You should read this, I think you would like it a lot. It’s about a guy that marries into a family with fairy bloodlines. Very magical, beautiful story. Chock full of all sorts of weirdness (their house sits at the edge of a fairy wood, and frequently seems bigger on the inside than on the outside. Rooms _seem_ to move about but no-one’s really sure. Halls that should be circular are spiral somehow and vice versa. Everything is organised by the natural calendar–4 floors, 4 seasons; 7 staircases, 7 days of the week; etc.). Happy, sad, poignant, and those fairies can be rascals. Wonderful, wonderful book. ---

When I was a teenage guy, we almost NEVER had food in the house. As soon as it came in, I ate it. What little I left over little brother ate. Teenage metabolism - how I miss it. Now, I can keep food in, which is wise, since I have a close relative of DW in the house. If i don’t feed the dog, I’ll probably lose some neighbors… ---

She’s young, and she makes mistakes - sometimes really terrible ones - but she learns from them. Her culture also has a lot more influence on who she is. She tries to do what is right for her people and not just her government. She’s beautiful, brave, passionate and kind. ---
