If you have a spyglass on your front door, and someone rings the doorbell
you can see who it is and decide to open the door or not.
If you can't see who's there, would you still open the door, or are you one of those weird johnnies who says "Who's there? I've got a dog, you know!" before you let anybody in?

Or is that just a silly analogy?

Seems fairly reasonable to me.

Has the drilling stopped yet?

( b3th Not shit. Not mod., Mon 6 Feb 2012, 12:14, Reply)

No. It will never stop. It will haunt me forever.
I'm not even sure it's drilling anymore, I reckon they are digging a basement through the floor of the building.

It's a better analogy to say
that you don't answer the door if the person is wearing a mask.

But it could be Zorro!

Yeah, and I'm not having him waltzing in and fucking up my curtains with his flashy Zeds.

Does Zorro wipe his cock on curtains too, then?

Only if he can find a clean bit.

No, she has antimacassars

aren't those
the old lady lace things that go over the back of chairs for some reason i never quite understood?

They are indeed.
Their purpose was to stop naughty men getting hair oil all over your nice clean sofa.

aren't all curtains?
who would risk putting them in the wash? what if they shrank?
( rachelswipe with a fork, Mon 6 Feb 2012, 12:20, Reply)

Cleaning curtains?
Must be a woman thing...
( scarpe We Stole Bikes, Mon 6 Feb 2012, 12:21, Reply)

you'd have shorter curtains?

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Mon 6 Feb 2012, 12:26, Reply)

Not really a problem
I'm quite tall and could still wipe my cock on them.
( tangledupinblue hairy badge with moving eyes, Mon 6 Feb 2012, 12:27, Reply)

yeah, me too.
