        And she seems to be pre-law, so she knows all about the legal ramifications. Or at the very least what a sexual offense charge would mean.

            Considering you can get one for even glancing the wrong way at certain people, I’d say no. No one really seems to understand how the work.

                Can you? Can you really?”

                At the very least, you can be sued. Whether or not you can be charged or convicted likely depends on the relative intelligence or lack thereof of your state’s legal system. Assuming you are from America, of course.

              There are a few counties in Georgia where you can be arrested for statutory rape if youre sitting in a car with someone and youre not wearing socks and shoes.

                I’m pretty sure that’s an urban legend. Similarly, at my high school and a couple of camps I attended, there was a rumor that if you sat in the bed with your shoes off and your feet off the floor, it was considered “having sex.” We would have “orgies” that consisted of lots of people sitting together with their feet off the floor.

                  Did you go to CTY, by any chance? That’s where I heard the “orgy” rumor.

                  Of course, we liked calling everything “orgies” there. 😛

      Sure she does – she doesn’t have worship or respect or have faith in any god, but she does have one. In her basement, back at home. In a little cage. She likes to poke it with sticks. Ones that are on fire.

      On a similar note, as an atheist myself I’m rather conflicted; I once declared that a styrofoam cup that was sitting on my desk at the time was a god. Does that make me not an atheist anymore? I certainly believe in the cup’s existence, and nobody has yet made any convincing argument that it’s *not* a god…I’m so confused.

        Remember, the burden of evidence would lie with you, not with the others.

        Also, I’m pretty sure that would make you a priest(ess?), so that’s still a kind of atheist. Don’t worry.

      Billie won’t care (except maybe she’ll be even more depressed since she’s supposed to be hot stuff and Walky’s got someone first.)

      Danny will spend a couple of weeks halfheartedly convincing himself he’s moved on before hanging himself.

      • Khantalas
        Khantalas
        March 14, 2012 at 12:40 am | #

        Billie might say she doesn’t care, but we all know she is secretly in love with the Walkerton siblings, so losing half of her soulmates will probably ruin her FOREVER.

        ((‘kay, that is a bit more dramatic than what will probably happen.))

            By let’s say friday, after they are done watching the shows and/or making out, she’ll notice that she got a message from Danny. A video, assuming they both have good enough phones.
            He’s hanging himself this very moment, and daring her to come save him and/or take her back.

        And everyone’s noses are a diagonal line over a squished dot.

                I can’t think of a stranger affliction in the entire universe than “psoriasis of the liver.” Does your liver get all scaly and flaky, and itch a lot? Can one apply topical cream to a liver? I’m confused.

                Unless you meant “cirrhosis,” in which case YOU’RE confused.

          @Kernanator – you may not know or remember but Myth-busters proved without a shadow of a doubt that a lead balloon does go over well, it just happens to be rather delicate.
          Hmm, now that I think of it, this relationship is at the lead balloon stage

            Today’s grav is Saya from the love/horror novel, Saya no Uta(The Song of Saya).

            It is a story about a guy who develops “meat-vision” after an operation which results in him seeing the world like it is covered in meat, bones and organs and people now look like freakish monsters.

            After a few weeks, he meets Saya who ‘looks’ like a beautiful young girl to him.

            To someone with normal vision, she is a slimy tentacle monster.

            If you want check it out, here is part 1 of 38 video chapters of Saya no Uta below.

              After a few weeks, he meets Saya, who ‘looks’ like a beautiful young girl, but to someone with normal vision, she is in fact, a slimy tentacle monster.

                I knew it. I loved this game. The story was in a disturbing way romantic if that makes any sense.
                My favourite ending was the True Ending – it seems more like a Good Ending than the original Good Ending.

                  The weirdwat thing is that despite knowing at Saya’s a foul-smelling tentacle slime monster from another dimension whose goal it is to wipe out humanity and turn the earth into a festering meat mass, you still kinda want to have ‘meat-vision’ and hug her.

                  Human empathy is sure scary sometimes.
