          Sung to the tune of Procul Harum’s “Conquistador”

          Kenquestadors, your here stands
          In need of company
          And like some unsoiled angel’s pants
          You reek of virginity
          I see your rosy-tinted crush
          Has long since lost it’s sheen
          And in Malaya’s face
          There is no fondness to be seen

          (More lyrics to come if I have the time)

        You can also do Point Buy, or a preset stat array.

        But “Dice rolls, point buys, and preset stat arrays build characters” doesn’t sound much like wisdom. So I guess that’s the dump stat.

    Ken, I’m gonna be honest with you. Whether or not you have your first time with someone you love, someone you’ve dated twice, or someone you just met who wants you to sire her heir, it’s gonna be hella awkward. The solution is to get drunk enough to not care (but not so drunk that you get whiskey-dick).

        That’s kind of, like, regular drunk. For about a tenth of the drunk people I’ve encountered. Vague estimate there, but it’s more noticable when you’re not drunk yourself – and I don’t drink.

          16 is actually legal in more states than not, and 16 is the average age that US citizens lose their age, allegedly.

          I don’t know what the hurry is, to be honest. Kids are in such a hurry to grow up, but sex really isn’t that big of a deal.

          In all cases, media has tainted out perspective, I believe.

            16 may be legal in most states, but there’s always conditions, and if either party has crossed a state line (or either to or from a U.S. Territory) then the legal age jumps to 18 even if it is lower in both states (or territories).

          With Connie I get the vibe that she mates not because she emotionally enjoys the act, but because it’s something that she’s accustomed to feeling like she’s supposed to do. Sort of why most of the rest of us wear pants.

      I don’t mind him. He’s just this year’s “normal” character. Willis tends to start with characters who are seemingly sane and rational, then slowly evolve them into entertaining nutcases.
