I thought that The Real World had gotten too sleazy, but this season made me miss the slutty years. Also funny how the hot tub--prop for much merry making in the past--ceased to be unisex by this final episode.

Also, they made it look like a really long ride from the Real World house to Ikea, which is about five blocks away.

Little late, but just watched the Reunion special and, aside from hating Maria Menounos, I think Devyne (sp) needs to quit it with the wigs, yo.

We learned that the world is neither real nor made-up, but is absolutely worth being a part of.

When exactly did we learn this?

The 15th Street Rant.

Richard, you have an open invitation to any of my dinner parties. You would totally make the convo delicious with your delicate and masterful mixing of the English language.

@The Real JR: I would invite Richard to my dinner parties too, but then no one would think I was funny or smart anymore. Everyone would like Richard best!

Also, my "dinner parties" usually consist of a few people eating take-out on my couch while we watch TV. So there's that.

First, dearly beloved Jesus the space alien, Richard, you make my sick days so much more enjoyable.

I watched most of the show during a Sunday marathon while doing some freelance work, so I didn't always catch the facial expressions and context. What bothered me was the weird hatred Ryan, JD and Chet seemed to have towards women, and caveat, I am not prone to seeing misogyny wherever I look or when it's convenient to do so.

I get Chet's jerkery because he's clearly threatened by women (I hate to be that person, but there is something going on in his pale xylophonic ribcage for Ryan). From what I read about JD, he had a disturbing childhood. But Ryan's antipathy and downright cruelty to Katelynn and Sarah is random and misplaced. Dude needs help.

We learned that JD's computer's spellcheck doesn't like "Katelynn" any more than the rest of us do.

The best/strange/most boy-wonderful moments were when Ryan yelled brazenly, yet hilariously, at Sara. I don't know what it is that makes his cutting her down such poetry, but he should really bottle it and sell it as, Smackdown Emollients or some such.

We also learned that you can eat dinner in Fairway at a nice big table, if you know that right people. And a little something about dilating a brand new vajayjay.

@Carol Gardens: Yes! on the dilation bit. Learning about it was an expansive thing, and I gape in wide open wonder at the large new opening in my understanding, over the yawning, echoing chasm of my deep hole of ignorance. I wholly feel like a bigger person; wider too.

Ow, my vadge.

@Baroness: I actually knew about this because a-friend-of-a-friend was post-sex-change in the early 90s and she was telling EVERYONE about that particular device. Very interesting and informative oversharing.
