That's some hardcore scientific method going on there.

Notice: If any females need to reduce their blood pressure, I am officially available for five minutes of a romantic film and a 20 second hug.

Unless hugbot it's involved.

Sorry but 5 minutes of a romantic film and I'd want to hurl, not hug.
Now give me Blake 7 (blast from the past) then I'd be into hugging!

Beat to a Phillipe related comment.

I'll post it anyways...

It was going to be "Phillipe could not be reached for comment."

Yeah, all that stuff, hugging and sex and things like that, that require another person, are always supposed to be so good for you. *sneer* When are they going to figure out that drinking whiskey alone in the dark and sobbing quietly is the true medicine?

In light of this research, and in concern for my health (and the health of others I care for) I am requesting hugs lasting no less than 1 minute from each of you. Please. And I'm giving a 5 minute one to mygothlaundry.

((((squeeze))))

I'm also available for the giving and receiving of hugs. And the drinking of whisky.

If you whuffle while you hug, it's even BETTER for you!

Dammit, I need someone to whuffle and hug!

*looks at watch* Well, if I catch a cab to the airport in the next five minutes...

posted by Specklet 20 February | 14:24

Cool! Let me know which airport you'll be coming into and I'll be there waiting for you with open arms

There are some overly enthusiastic college aged kids running around town carrying FREE HUGS signs. I avoid them because they look like pro-hug zealots.
