I haven't actually heard any of Kanye's music, unless it's made up part of the indistinguishable thumping coming from Abercrombie and Fitch when I walk by, but otherwise: agree.

The most shocking thing about this run of posts is that SL hasn't broken in yet to berate everyone for being hipsters.

Kanye is a hipster darling.

rass · Post by **rass** » Fri Feb 12, 2016 12:36 pm

Yeah. Hipster probably wasn't the exact right word (I don't think he uses that exactly) but I wanted to get my point across.

He headlined our music festival here last year and while I knew he was "big" I honestly had no idea just what the cult of personality around him is like. It was pretty jarring.

I'm not going to defend Kanye's public persona, but I think he's a pretty damn good artist. Between his first three albums and My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, he had a lot of songs that I really like. One thing that I think is unique about him, as compared to other big name rappers, is that he draws from such a wide range of musical styles for his songs. He's not the most talented rapper, but I find his music more interesting than just about any other big name hip hop artist.

I really enjoyed his first two albums, and I've hated everything else since.

Glad I'm not the only one. Agree with Joe K, I love a lot of the musical choices. I think his second album was really good, the first has some good tracks. Never listened to anything else he did. Once he became famous, his antics as a person completely turned me off, and I no longer worked with my friend who gave me the CDs, and I didn't put in the 30 seconds of effort it'd take to get the newer albums. Although I did see that bizarre video with Kim K and Kanye on a motorcycle after seeing the James Franco-Seth Rogan parody. Didn't like that song.

I was out for like 8 hours yesterday watching games. I didn't want to come home until my oldest was asleep because I looked like someone who had been out for 8 hours, so I just walked around a bunch from the Bowery up to Penn Station. I tripped and fell. Like a full catch my foot, stumbled and go down. I bet it was hilarious to watch.

Moreta · Post by **Moreta** » Sat Mar 19, 2016 12:08 pm

One night three weeks or so ago, Mr. Moreta and I went out for a drink and a snack after he got out of work late. I tripped on nothing on the way in to the restaurant and scraped up my nose and chin. The sidewalk was freshly salted, so I managed to rub salt in my own wounds too.

Last weekend, we went to our favorite Irish bar for an early St. Paddy's celebration and I slipped on the wet floor in the vestibule on the way in.

I've never fallen down *after* going to the bar but apparently I'm constantly going to do so on the way in.

I want to see every Trump rally devolve into violence. I like seeing mass protests against him and really hope that one day his followers get beaten. I hope the Republican National Convention becomes one giant fire hazard. I hope there's a riot. I want the National Guard called in.

I also secretly dislike the idea that violence never solves anything and peaceful protests are worthwhile. I want violence against Trump supporters. All of them. People that blinded with ignorance need reality beaten into them.

howard · Post by **howard** » Sat Mar 19, 2016 9:15 pm

under certain rare conditions, peaceful protests have been useful, even indispensable. However, violence has an overwhelming winning percentage.

The sentiment that violence never solves anything is really fucking stupid. Now aerial bombing campaigns in isolation, otoh…

Joe K · Post by **Joe K** » Sat Mar 19, 2016 11:02 pm

IMO, violent protests have a much, much better chance of stopping a Trump nomination than snarky, John Oliver-imspired hashtags.

But you said you were glad to be a jeep driver when you posted the video of the jeep going through protesters in the other thread?

howard · Post by **howard** » Sun Mar 20, 2016 11:53 am

I would call that devolving into violence.

That was sarcasm.

But if that jeep driver for yanked out and beaten? Sounds good to me.

If I want to bet on a sporting event and I don't have a strong opinion on who is actually going to win, I will sometimes bet on the result/team that will result in a Swamper being the most insufferable. (Needless to say I bet on the Pats a lot.)

howard · Post by **howard** » Wed May 04, 2016 4:58 pm

So, I'm not sure if I am more insufferable when the Giants win, or when they lose. (or just constant insufferability)

Don't sell yourself short, Doc. Win or lose, you're a tremendous insufferable slouch.

Yes, but not while in a relationship, and certainly not with my wife. Enormous potential for catastrophe. No matter how much a wife/girlfriend thinks they are OK with it, seeing their man with another woman is guaranteed to cause jealousy. She will think you are giving more attention to the other woman, or more into the other woman than you are her. Not worth the risk.

It's the other way around. I doubt it'll happen, but we're having drinks with someone tomorrow night after a gala my wife is organizing at a nice hotel downtown. We've talked about it for a while, but figured it was just one of those things we'd fantasize about rather than actually go through it because how does that even happen and happen safely? But a good candidate popped-up, so we're going to at least see how drinks go first.

I'm not telling anyone I "know" about this, so that's the only reason why I'm even posting it.

I'm not saying there's any right or wrong way here, you should do what you're comfortable with and that varies on a relationship to relationship basis, but if you want to push for an extra party of your choice, you'd better be ready to get down with an extra party of her choice. Only fair.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 05, 2016 12:30 pm

I'm going to take a somewhat contrary view here and say that if you guys talk through all the potential issues and agree that it's something you're into despite the risks, then go for it. Perfectly healthy couples everywhere enjoy a variety of activities that some people might find unworkable or off-putting, but if they're honest with each other and themselves it can work out. I would say if there's any question at all about going through with it then don't though. You can't put that toothpaste back in the tube if there's any chance it leads to hard feelings (no pun intended).

Highlighted for emphasis. Total communication is a must, up to and including killing it up to and during.

Johnnie · Post by **Johnnie** » Thu May 05, 2016 12:44 pm

No. But I was close friends with swingers in Germany. They were constantly having sex parties and orgies. I could've went, but I didn't. Maybe I have high standards, but whatever.

The swinger community isn't as good looking as you'd think. I simply wasn't turned on by any of their women friends whatsoever. And I was propositioned to do shit you see on kink.com too. Cuckholding, BDSM, etc.

That's exactly where we are with it. This isn't something to spice up our relationship, and we've both been very open and honest about why we want to do this. We have no trust issues at all in our relationship and I know that our marriage isn't under any sort of distress. The person we've picked isn't someone safe and he understands why we're doing it. Our rule is if at any time either of us become uncomfortable, it's over. We both kind of believe once we meet up with him, it'll be like "yeah, this was probably something better to fantasize about rather than make a reality." But, we reached out to him last week and it just so happens we'll have a room this weekend, so thought why not see what happens. He's not even sure he's on-board yet, either.

mister d, I hear ya with the kids thing. That's one of my wife's issues with it. She's afraid of how she'll feel about herself afterwards too, which I told her I assume is completely natural.

So it is two guys. The though of watching a guy bang my wife makes me want to punch the hypothetical man in the face. I completely agree with Brian, married couples do it all the time, and more power to them. The fact that you've been discussing it is good, and I don't think either one of you should come away blaming the other, but how would you feel about it if your wife is way too into the other guy? I have a female friend who always wanted to try a threesome. Her longtime boyfriend was a bit hesitant. They decided they'd go for it with a HS friend of my friend. Side note, she was super hot, and apparently had a phenomenal boob job. My friend was the one who wanted this, she set it up, she chose the female, and she was 100% confident she was cool with it. Afterwards, it ate her up and she couldn't get over it. I never met the guy, but I took his side and tried to talk her down, but she ended up breaking up wit her BF and didn't talk to the friend for years, probably still hasn't.

Post by **brian** » Thu May 05, 2016 2:16 pm

That doesn't make a whole lot of sense though. Sounds like the female friend had some other issues. If she was the one who wanted it and put it all together and it doesn't work out, then so be it but I can't imagine what could have happened for things to go that south. Sometimes people try stuff and decide it's not for them. (Not a great analogy, but you work on your GF/wife for butt stuff and she agrees to it and decides she doesn't like it and won't do it going forward. OK, then. But not something she should break up with you about unless she's crazy (or you keep pressing for more butt stuff).
