Just two men, celebrating each other's strength.

    Me: I'm quite secure in my sexuality.

    Also me, after 11 vodkas:

    11 vodkas is... a lot of vodkas.

    If we are talking shots (and I am), then that's 45*11 about 500ml of vodka. Back in my drinking days (I've been sober for almost 2 years) that was "A solid start." And if I got that deep, I was sure to finish the rest of the 750 ml bottle just for the fuck of it, and probably have some sambuca or jungle juice, to finish up, and I probably would have started with at least two pints of beer. By then it would be kebab-o'clock.

    I love being reminded that even things we don't think of as cultural practices, like kissing or holding hands, are still culturally mediated.

    When the Soviets and the Americans reached each other, that meant that there were no more Nazis left in between and if I were in that situation I think I would be kissing anyone and everyone.
