If you would like to waste hours, nay, days at work, then allow me to thoroughly recommend trawling through the archives of advice giving dude Dan Savage’s sex column ‘Savage Love’

I used to read it religiously a couple of years ago, but forgot about it until recently. Then I stumbled upon one divine page where every single column for the past nine years has been popped online, and trawling through them all has been a mixture of bliss and confusion (”He wants to do what to his girlfriend? Would it even fit in there?”)

One of my favourite Dan Savage quotes is one he made when talking about goth girls.

I’ve never actually seen an extremely beautiful goth girl myself–most of them seem to have weight problems, which has always struck me as strangely contradictory. From the neck up, the look cultivated by goth girls seems to say, “Oh, we despair of this world and long for the sweet embrace of death!” From the neck down, their look seems to say, “I’ll take the bacon cheeseburger, two orders of fries, and a Diet Coke, please.”

Naughty, perhaps wrong (don’t hate on me, goth ladies!) but still. A little funny.
