I don't allow most sexually explicit phrases over there, just euphemisms.

It's under your January 13, 2023 post there, which was a while ago, so you probably didn't see that comment. It's your post about John-Boy Walton. Anyhow, I, too, am a big fan of John-Boy Walton/Richard Thomas. I just posted this on my own blog, and thought you'd like to see it -- https://carlmillerdaniels.blogspot.com/2023/04/just-in-case_11.html. Hope you enjoy the poem. As you can probably tell, I had a lot of fun writing it!

Things like starting to shave, getting a driver's license. With girls, going on a first date and a kiss spring to mind. Nothing was proof positive that you had arrived; it was always a state of perpetual becoming, and perpetual anxiety that you weren't advancing properly.NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-16242225045324802392020-01-04T00:49:50.069-06:002020-01-04T00:49:50.069-06:00You know that when straight/bi guys say "beco...You know that when straight/bi guys say "become men" it's not a dance.

During World War II, they would have "canteen dances" on military bases. I'm assuming that Washington Junior High admins got the name from that, but even in the 1940s, it was always a "canteen dance," not a "canteen."NYSocBoyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06658785942817017972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8823073892487105533.post-3939377123685114032019-04-11T12:23:29.020-05:002019-04-11T12:23:29.020-05:00Canteen?
