We should all wear one black glove as a sign of mourning.

He'll do anything to get out of playing those shows in London.

PS According to google, LOLporn isn't what I expected it to be.
The lolporn I've seen is precisely what you'd expect it to be. "2257 documentz - we haz them" sort of thing. Maybe you're looking at the wrong lolporn?

I knew a zoology postgrad who ate her own homework. At least, her own research subjects, after she'd finished with them.
Green-lipped mussels, before you ask.
And it wasn't just the pre-electronic world that was cruel: I saw a note up at the Wellington bus station a while ago asking if anyone had found a USB thumb drive. "Contains entire year's academic work!" - yeah, that's the downside of portability, you've got to have a good backup regime to prevent this sort of situation.

But shipping containers are terrifically strong...
For their intended purpose, yeah. But their intended purpose is sitting on a boat, packed full of items that aren't actively trying to cut their way out, break bits off for use as shivs, etc. So while they can take quite a lot of load without buckling (you can stack full containers quite high), they may be somewhat more vulnerable to ingenious inmates.

Have you ever read the Erotic Review? God knows, it needs -something- done to it. Picked up a copy or two back when I was over living in the UK. Fell asleep. Very much two-handed reading.

NSFW - four letters.
The human hand - four knuckles.
Coincidence? Or tattoo idea?
(tried to find a picture of this one, but you'd be surprised at the results you get googling for "NSFW tattoo". Or perhaps not.)

I believe smack might have a part in Panteral correction.
Disclaimer: I am not, nor have I ever been, a Pantera fan.

Hilary - someone's nicked the Hikitia.
Well, it's off for a refit, anyway. Waterfront looks very empty without it.

I remember, back in the day (waves zimmer frame), around the mid 90s or so, back when teh internets was new and crisp and link farms like Metafilter weren't around yet. A bunch of my mates started a mailing list for unusual or funny web sites. One guy had a habit of just posting links with one-word descriptions. It took a while, but we finally managed to convince him to start putting NSFW on the appropriate postings, after one too many cases of other people clicking on a link marked "Hilarious" and getting goatse or similar.
'Lush' is used by several Bristolian friends of mine as a synonym for "good" or "sexually appealing". I think we need some hard-hitting neologisms here.
