I Like To Imagine I'm Wearing A Cape Emblazoned With 'The Doorinator'.

I hate it when someone who doesn't truly appreciate the beauty of automatic doors reaches one in front of me. YOU HAVE ROBBED ME OF MY MOMENT OF AWESOME. (Seriously, if you've never 'opened' an automatic door with a dramatic sweep of the arm, you should try it. You look completely ridiculous, but you feel like the coolest person in the world.)

I cannot, alas, take credit for coming up with the mushroom question; it's a question my brother asked my father a few weeks ago. I laughed so hard when my father relayed it to me.

'Incest' means you're too closely related to be allowed to marry, so technically, in countries in which cousins are allowed to marry, cousin/cousin isn't incest! So it shouldn't squick you when it's in the UK! No, hang on, that's not how logic works, is it?

Because there's a cousin/cousin taboo in the US that doesn't exist in most of the rest of the world. I believe cousin/cousin marriages used to be very common in the UK (read Jane Austen's Mansfield Park), especially amongst higher-class families, but lately a stigma against such relationships has been creeping in because, as we get so much American television, many English people don't realise we don't have the same incest laws.

I can't imagine having that kind of relationship with any of my cousins. (Plucky: Eeeewwww...) But then, there are so many to keep track of and I'm so rubbish with faces that I probably wouldn't actually notice.

I'm just going to go one with my theory that the Stig's are not in fact related so that I can slash them.

No, wait, that Stig/A. Stig fic shouldn't be written!

Oh, man, the idea of having a sexual relationship with one of my cousins horrifies me. But, er, it's good to know the option is there?

Well the point of an option is that you don't have to use it.

(On a completely unrelated note, my dad inadvertantly gave me permission to give out our mailing address a couple days ago, so I no longer have to feel guilty about giving it to you.)
