Oh, and another thing: Blanche de Namur has - at least in my case - proven most effective at ending relationships, not at starting them. Since he already is single, I'd suggest recommending to him a different beverage.

[Sheb]

Make sense. Anyway, he doesn't drink.

I really wonder how the US manage to have so many teenage pregnancies with an age limit that high.

[Frumple]

... if it takes you alcohol to get it up or get ready at that age, something has gone horrifically wrong.

Also a lot -- a lot -- of kids just ignore the age limit. Plenty of folks get drunk much younger than 21 in this country. Ends up killing a fair few, too.

Beyond that, we have freaking terrible sex ed in most of the country, which easily includes poor access to contraceptives, and a culture that's often predisposed towards not talking about good practices until it's far, far too late. Basically a lot of factors coming together (ha) to up the pregnancy rates.

[GiglameshDespair]

How many people actually are stopped by a drinking age limit? It's not that difficult to get hold of when you're underage.

[Frumple]

Very few are actually stopped. There's plenty that just don't, though, due to the whole legal thing, or a recognition of how badly alcohol can fuck you up, or any number of other things. Gods know I've felt less than zero interest in drinking the stuff, even after I was legal for it.

People do get in trouble for it off and on, for what it's worth. Just tends to be whoever sold the stuff instead of the minor. Every once in a while a shop'll get hit with fines or closed down for selling to underage folks. Significantly more rarely a kid'll end up in juvie or somethin' due to getting caught with alcohol. Probably the most common "caught" situation is with colleges, if I had to guess -- I've seen a fair few people kicked out of dorms because they had alcohol in the same room as someone under the drinking limit.

Kinda' like getting involved with jailbait, a lot of it boils down to just not taking the risk. Sure, you probably won't get caught, and there probably won't be any problems, but the chance is definitely there and you might as well just wait a bit.

_{'course, on the other side of that, I've actually watched as someone legal bought beer in a local store and took it out into the parking lot to share, in public, with underaged kids, while a cop was physically in the same parking area, watching. So... yeah. Varies by region, people involved, etc., etc. etc.}

Some of my friends drink and out of my friends from school I think I'm the only one who's never drank and still a virgin so yeah... I'm a minority on this stuff

[Graknorke]

E: looking in to it more, though, it looks a lot like there's not really a specific term for that. Just vocals.

Actualllly, grak, it looks like the closest thing to a specific term is "spoken word sample", or possibly just spoken word. Hope that helps. Also hope you (or someone else) keeps looking and finds out if there's a different/better term for it, because now I'm curious, too

Looking through some music textbooks it looks like there really isn't a name for it besides the descriptive one. Shame, since it makes it harder to look for.

Some of my friends drink and out of my friends from school I think I'm the only one who's never drank and still a virgin so yeah... I'm a minority on this stuff

One: Don't trust your friends when they say they've had sex
Two: Nearly everyone I'm friendly with doesn't drink.

So, maybe a minority where you are, but that depends on either place, or the people you interact with in that place.

[Cryxis, Prince of Doom]

... It's not that uncommon of a thing around here and just trust me on this one they aren't lieing

[Helgoland]

They aren't lying? Damn, their first time and already starting on the slightly more advanced stuff

[penguinofhonor]

My school had more kids lying about being virgins than lying about having sex, but that might just be a Catholic school thing.

I'm tempted to necro the Animal Crossing thread but I'm not sure if it'd be worth it. Hasn't been posted in for a little under two years.

[Frumple]

... as per usual, if you can't improve on the OP and/or don't intend to maintain the thread, and you actually have something to contribute (new information, maybe trying to drum up interest or share some nice experiences), it's usually better to just necro. No need to make another thread when there's already one there that's as serviceable as the one you'd make.

[LordSlowpoke]

does anyone on this here webzone make cheese

is there a cheesemaking thread

[Helgoland]

I made paneer once, but that's not exactly conventional cheese... You getting your slice of the Russian import ban pie?
