Weirdness In Marriage
Jan02
This storyline is based on a couple I knew in the late 1990s who did pretty much exactly this. As part of their love life spice, they BOTH dressed up as married “strangers,” “met” at bars, and got freaky in hotel rooms. I ain’t judgin’ – they had a happy marriage, and this kink was good for them.
Hey, let’s kick off the year with some crazy shit! Like this. Or this. Or this.
Mad world, I tells ya.
Yeah, I agree with Alex: people accuse me of being “weird” for being poly.
Tell me about it: “Oh, you claim to be Poly? that just means you can’t make up your mind!” idiots
Try being poly, and *bisexual*, and dating both a man and a woman. Talk about being accused of being indecisive. :-/
Indecisive? Sounds like your hogging the pie! 😉
I’ve totally gotten that in all seriousness. “You’re hogging all the women!” This was an extra baffling statement as it came at a time when I had one girlfriend, and I pointed out that I share. But the complainer in question was annoyed that I had a girlfriend and a boyfriend, and he had no girlfriend and wanted one. So, somehow, bitching bitching bad at math equals he gets a girlfriend! [laughing] Dude. Doesn’t work that way.
You are weird, but not because of being poly…
HAH! I THOUGHT so! Nice one.
Yup. I got the surface part of it, you called the core of it.
I liked the deep set hook and leaving him flopping on the dock for days before kicking him back in.
Time to break out the revenge detail planning spreadsheets. I think there is an app for that.
WHAT is Mick looking for at the bottom of his beer? A Captain Hop decoder ring? Does he check every beer? Cool to see Mick integrating Alex into more and more facets of his life.
Answers, man. Answers.
Either that, or he finds beer to be effective at lubricating his eyeballs.
Don’t want to squeaky eyeballs man. Gotta use that quality eyeball lubricant…

Knowing Omar, he went into a lot of details. Lots and lots of details. Details Mick didn´t want to know, but he told him anyway.
Mick’s mind screaming for brain bleach.
What has been heard, cannot be un-heard.
Does Mick know ANYONE who is “normal”?
There have been a lot of times in my life where I didn’t, beyond saying “Hey.” My guess is that no matter how many such people Mick may know, they don’t matter in the stories that JL is telling.
Define “Normal.” There’s a lot more ‘wierd’ going on than you might guess.
It has been my experience that there are no”normal” people. If you dig deep enough you will find their weird. I try REALLY HARD not to find some people’s weird. My parents were HARD CORE conservatives, But would occasionally have us kids spend a week or two with friends or relatives. The weird? They would host week long sex parties during those weeks. Wife swapping, fetish, S&M, group whatever… Then when we returned, it was just back to “normal.”
No, and I pray he never has to.
And by “normal” I meant conforming to the generally accepted idea of monogamous and sexually conventional.
Seriously, apart from a handful of gay individuals everyone I know is in that mold. 😕
Even by that definition, there’s a whole lot of weird going on. Seriously.
I guarantee you don’t know them well enough to say they have no weird in their sexual relationships… Unless of course you are videotaping all of their sexual encounters, then YOU are the weird.
I didn’t say anything about “weird”. I said they are monogamous and conventionally sexual. That is, they may cheat on their wives, but that is not “polyamory” as a philosophy. They may be adventurous, but none talks of bondage, bestiality or group activity. 😛
“Conventionally sexual” is a trap phrase. No such beast. Sexuality is a continuum, and the scale slides into all manner of interesting and strange places.
Charlie Rich was right – No one knows what goes on behind closed doors. Indeed, the closest you’re *ever* going to get to ‘Conventionally Sexual” is that they don’t talk in public about what kind of freaks they are.

Not altogether true. I have several friends who are not shy about talking about it—what they do, and what they do not do.
Sort of like some of you folks do here. 🙂
I’d like to applaud whoever it was that guessed this a few days back. I had wondered if that was the case until Omar went all angry and frothy over the mention of it. That being said, I do hate people who claim to have seen every plot twist coming.
Pretty sure that was me. Although I never would’ve guessed Malcolm being Omar’s middle name. That was a nice detail.
I admit I was just too lazy to comb through the archives to check for the name.
Anyone else read Joe’s lines and hear Hermes of Futurama’s voice?
[i]Aaaaand[/i]… Drunken New Years fallout:
Some shitbag drove through tehneighborhood drunk in the wee hours of the AM yesterday. I learn about it at the bus stop, talking to one of the other parents. Three wrecksd cars as the asshole pin-balled his way down the street.
Then he (presumably – might possibly be a ‘she’) abandoned their own wreck (that makes four fatally damaged cars littering the street) and vanished. Turns out the registration on the abandoned car was utterly bogus – How do you manage to do that in these paranoid days?
Cops are *not* interested in pursuing it, either. I understand their point of view, but ‘cmon! Whoever did this is a public menace! >:(
Also, saw piles of swept-up wreckage at more than a few intersections, and great massive oil stains accompanying those. Apparently it was a banner night for ‘crash ’em up derby.’
Goddamn it.
I am too tired for this bullshit.
All I have to say is, Bloomberg is an ass, letting someone you wouldn’t trust with a gun alone to be in a position of dominance is the blind leading the dumb, and the People Republic Of Kalifornistan is not a place I EVER want to be.
‘Nuff said.
okay… there is nothing wrong with this. But why is it when ever Mick drinks out of a bottle, there has to be a panel with him looking up into the bottle like it is a spyglass? I blame lazy artist… but then again, i have no artistic talent so shouldn’t judge.
Love the comic regardless
Couple of things. It’s a hint to readers that he is well-along in his drinking. It’s a hint to barkeeper friend that he wants another of the same.
Or maybe he’s trying out his beer goggles.
I think this is actually a pretty common bit of role-play.
