I read such a good (and glaringly obvious) point the other day - Oedipus doesn’t WANT to boff his mother, he actively spends half his life trying to AVOID it but alas Fate

The last time I emptied my bag out I had double figure of lip balm (also biros, and half-finished packets of Fisherman’s Friends)

I see your STRAIGHT MAN LIP BALM and raise you DUDE WIPES

Because normal bum wipes are FEMININE and do not work on MAN ASS

(you are a lady, you wouldn't understand)

Dude wipes. Aggressively heterosexual wipes for the anús of straight men.

Look, EXTRASUPER BANTZ MASCULINE LIP BALM FOR BLOKEY MAN MEN, I’m not sure equating penis size to something you slather round your mouth was the right way to go if you were pitching for the PLUS SIZED FACIAL CARE FOR NOT GAY MEN demographic

I have never forgotten* some story I read where the heroine climbs ≈ 200 steps up a supposedly haunted tower, then shrugs and goes back down again, and the story ends with her counting “… 300 … 301 …”

*apart from title and author, just the important stuff, you know

Oh, perfect, same. Not that I’m squeamish, just find humans torturing other humans very disheartening and depressing

Please please do. It is massive fun, completely insane, and she and *hastily googles* Jake McDorman are tremendous in it. Plus actors keep popping up who make you race to IMDB to see what else you loved them in. Plus the Holy Grail! Terrible underpants! Falafel-chef Jesus!
