My heroine and role model, Shirley Manson, the lead singer of the band Garbage, was born and raised in Edinburgh.

I saw a band called Garbage play in Albany in 1991. For a long time I thought I had seen them before they made it big, but Wikipedia has cured me of my delusions of grandeur.
The childhood friend Exnihil never had.

Before Garbage, Shirley Manson was in Goodbye Mr. Mackenzie, who I saw live a few times. I think I first saw them on a lunch time-for-the-elderly show called Pebble Mill at One. That's what I remembered when I got taken to see them live anyway. One of my friends really liked them. Probably Manson in hindsight.

That awkward moment when you're walking down French Quarter with your family and a stripper on the street asks you to come into her strip club.

That reminds me of a scene from the Animaniacs spoof of the '90s Disney Pocahontas movie. John Smith (who resembles Mel Gibson) introduces himself and Dot replies "I'll bet you tell that to all the hotel clerks."

One of my favorite spoofs is Avenue Q. It's a musical with human and monster puppets, but the songs are very much adult ("The Internet is for Porn", "You Can Be As Loud As the Hell You Want When You're Making Love", "Everyone's a Little Bit Racist")

I think Mel missed the emphasis on "A little bit..."

I remember about 20 years ago, I had a gay male friend who had a huge crush on Mel. I don't know if he still does. I'll guess not.

Mel Gibson and Frank Miller should have a duel to see who's the bigger idiot.

At one time idiot (0-25), imbecile (26-50), and moron (51-70) were current terms in psychology to describe persons of very low IQ. They are no longer used in use in that field.

what have they been replaced with so I can watch those become derogatory terms in the years to come? it is of course a complete coincidence that people stopped calling me "idiot" once I was 25 and moved onto "imbecile"

It's easily done. I keep thinking the scale is royalty-celebrity-member of parliament.

I think I'd put reverse both of those scales.

Oops! Rocky's right, we need to reverse those scales. Which brings to mind reverse-engineering. Which begs the question, "Are an engineer and a reverse engineer mortal enemies, like Flash and Zoom?"

It would be pretty funny if a reverse engineer undid all the work of an engineer. Glad you made it safe, BraJa. As for your sanity...
