Two-Way Streets

11:32 pm | N/A

I was recently thinking about how when a single woman gets pregnant, we say she “got pregnant”. Like I just did, no less than one sentence ago. The phrase is errant, in my opinion, because it only tells half the story. Someone not well-educated in how stuff works might think that the poor woman was walking down the street one day and suddenly found that she was in possession of a baby in her womb. That’s not how it works, as most of you should know by now. The “getting pregnant” aspect should not be separated from the man responsible in the given scenario, and it bugs me when such a separation occurs. Just a thought.

In other completely unrelated news, I’m headed to Covmadoodah tomorrow with the Eshelsons. What is Covmakrakrakrazy, you ask? Beats me.

Easily fixed. Just say “some cad got her pregnant”. Far more accurate.

Y’know, the last time you announced you were going to away, you got some 758 spam comments. That was AWESOME!

Yeah that spam was kinda fun, even though I didn’t do much.
