Rock Opera
I think the term “sleeping together” is way too loaded. I mean, it is POSSIBLE to just literally sleep with someone without the sex, it’s just difficult to get that point across in conversation.
And who didn’t realize this is what Ray and Frizz were up to? I mean, REALLY…
On a completely unrelated note, I’m fascinated with the form of the Rock Opera. There’s not very many good ones, and the stereotyped stuff like “Tommy” I think is kinda silly… but I just got an EP by a band called “Ludo” called “Broken Bride.” It’s a rock opera about a guy who goes back in time to save the life of his girlfriend who died in a firey autocrash. He ends up going to prehistoric times and fighitng dinosaurs, then overshooting the time and ends up at the end of the world fighting zombies and dragons. It’s pretty much the best thing you’ve never listened to. I highly recommend it.
I hope to write my own Rock Opera one day, and of course, it will probably be about space. Because everything is better in space!

Unless your name is HAL.

Possibly true, although if you back up and look at HAL as a machine, the story of HAL is much more interesting because it took place in space. If a story involving HAL were to happen, but on earth, it might be good, but not nearly as good as it is taking place in space. That’s my theory, anyway.

Empirical research: I have slept in the same bed one different occasions with at least seven guy friends that never resulted in sex. Two more, yes, so that may be categorized as foreplay. Although one took seven months of post-drinking-I-shouldn’t-drive-and-your-futon-is-BS sleeping, so there is still some gray area.

True, true. So, I guess my comment should read “Unless your name is David Bowman or Dr. Francis Poole.” Because, for those guys, everything was worse in space. If HAL locks you out of the spacecraft here on earth, Dave is just like, “Okay HAL. Forget it. I’m going to the 7-11 to buy a Slurpee.”

@Cascas, indeed this is good data. I must conduct more “research” of my own…
@Chris, awesome — I think a comedy remake of 2001 is in order, now it’s a buddy movie with Dave and Hal: Dude Where’s My Monolith?

“Dude, Where’s My Monolith” That’s rich. Who would star in that?

I don’t know, but I think I want to make a comic about it now…
