I remember being embarrased when I was about four or five by a rerun of Buck Rogers. There was an alien that could take the clothes off of people by blinking his eyes. He took the shirt off of one of Buck's buxom brunettes. I was so mortified (even though they showed nothing) that I had to get up and leave the room.
Shortly thereafter I got the famous birds and the bees talk, complete with diagrams from the Encyclopedia.
It's hard to understand how I could watch Buck Rogers and not want to see a woman naked, but there you go.

Also, I lost my last baby tooth after a mishap with a baseball bat. But since I'm only writing this to cover up a double post, I'll save that story for somewhere else.

Suddenly everything falls into place.

It isn't as though I haven't met a lot of people. Goodness knows it isn't that. It isn't just that... it isn't... it's... it's despicable.

When you're a kid, Liam, cooties aren't real. They're just a made-up kid-fact that allows boys to think that girls are icky without having to bring sexism into the fold. When you're an adult, cooties refers all manner of sexually transmitted diseases. For kids, a cooty shot will protect you, but once you hit puberty you best be wearing a condom or a biohazard level four containment suit.
As for the meatloaf incident, Cartman, it isn't anything cool or even funny. I overcooked my meatloaf in the oven, so the crust got thick and crunchy (which is how I prefer it). I chomped down on a bit of it, and I wound up crunching the tooth instead of the crust.

Er, why? Because you never cook, or because you hate meatloaf?

Maybe because it'd be a completely new and unfamiliar situation for him.

I remember when I was staring out in the IT industry, I had a boss who was proud of the fact he'd never ironed a shirt (something quite necessary when you're in a suit, shirt and tie-working environment). His girlfriend always did it. I asked what he did when he was between relationships - he told me his Mum did them then.

Unfortunately, I have also known my share of people like that. One of my coworkers was quite proud that he was always able to jump from relationship to relationship so that he wouldn't have to spend the time or money doing his own laundry.
Then there's my sister who for years got out of helping cook dinner by saying that she didn't know how. She maintained for years that she didn't know how to cook hot dogs (which is as easy as boiling them for 10 minutes). Fortunately, she's since grown out of that phase.

Or microwaving them for 30 seconds. (cut lengthwise with knife before cooking to avoid end explosions)
