Drill, Baby, Drill

But the Flintstones!!! They even slept in separate beds!!

@ManchuCandidate: Actually, the Flintstones were the first TV couple to sleep in the same bed. How far we’ve come …. And that has to be true, because I heard it on Car Talk.

Frienda mine worked on the Flintstones movie. It was shot mostly up at Vasquez Rocks, about an hour north of L.A.

@blogenfreude: I thought the Munsters were the first.

next sunday’s book: “water is wet”

I miss to much here. must visit more often.

I just got this gem from amazon:

Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition

In Sodomy and the Pirate Tradition, historian B. R. Burg investigates the social and sexual world of these sea rovers, a tightly bound brotherhood of men engaged in almost constant warfare. What, he asks, did these men, often on the high seas for years at a time, do for sexual fulfillment? Buccaneer sexuality differed widely from that of other all- male institutions such as prisons, for it existed not within a regimented structure of rule, regulations, and oppressive supervision, but instead operated in a society in which widespread toleration of homosexuality was the norm and conditions encouraged its practice.

In his new introduction, Burg discusses the initial response to the book when it was published in 1983 and how our perspectives on all-male societies have since changed.
