Re: Her fiance is her third cousin
Third cousin is what got you on that post?
FFS.
I'm pretty sure I said that the whole thing was a damned mess, but that I was surprised that no one had brought up the cousin thing yet.
So we beat on, boats against the current, borne back ceaselessly into the past.
1. When I was about 8, our second cousins from Sweden visited and one of them was my age, named Nils, and he was really cute and I was super in love until my sister told me I couldn't marry my second cousin. Doomed young love.
2. When someone said "Bi-erasure" I immediately started singing "Soooo I hear you callllllllling / oh baby pleeeeeease / give a little respeeecttt / tooooo mmeeeeeee!"
3. Tarpon needs to switch to decaf. I always imagine her talking at people like that fast-talking MicroMachine guy from the 1980s, only meaner.
4. I don't trust people who don't believe in the Kinsey scale.
Updated September 2012.
who was it that posted the cousin love website? I feel like it's hilarity potential was overshadowed by the big Catholicism to-do last month.
Anyhow, that website had a map to distinguish relations, and a message board where people sought advice for unrequited cousin love.
