“Skinny with razor stubble and glasses”

Last weekend, the St. Petersburg Times ran a story on polyamory called A Love Triangle? Try A Hexagon about smoocherie and her relationships. We sat and talked to the reporter for a couple of hours, and she did followup interviews with smoocherie and radven. She even did a followup interview via email with me, the skinny guy with razor stubble and glasses.

Fortunately, she didn’t mention the kuru. When we got to the restaurant where we were to meet her for the interview, james_the_evil1 and radven and I were talking about kuru, the prion-based sickness transmitted only by eating the brain of an infected person. (Kinda scary, really, that the Fore tribesmen have been practicing ritual cannibalism for long enough that a pathology developed to take advantage of that transmission vector…but I digress.)

Overall the article is positive and balanced, even if I am the skinny guy with glasses and razor stubble.

  1. Razor stubbled the article moved me and Taj to Gainseville but I agree it was quite fair though I would have rather they used Schrodinger as an example scientist. The cat guy had a wife and a long term relationship with a misstress he later married after his wife died if I remember correctly not that much unlike Buffet but Einstein was more of a straight up womanizer with exploits worthy of Springer in some cases. It was for quite a while not clear whether he was going to take his second cousin as his wife or her daughter… I think there is even a series of porn sites with that as a theme these days. I’m sure Mr. Relativity would approve.

  3. What do you mean, “Fortunately”? Spongiform encephalopathies need all the press they can get!

    Sorry, followed you over from the polyamory group, and how could I pass up an excuse to use this icon?

  5. I know I’m doing something right when Kuru and Fore cannibalism shows up in my reading twice in two days from unrelated sources.

    Reading The End of Faith, are we? 🙂
