MENAGE A TROIS LIC-STYLE
I really, really, really wanted to write about the menage-a-trois that a 16-year old male in Louisiana had with his 20-something and 30-something female teachers, as all these years later I still find the female teacher/male HS student combo tantalizing and questionably illegal. The fact that there were two female teachers in the same school willing to conspire and collaborate, I’d guesstimate is probably a five-standard deviation occurrence, …maybe ten.
Sadly, I am constrained by my mandate to focus on local news, whether it is real or not, and no matter how mundane. Sometimes though, fate intervenes and I am handed a consolation prize. In this case [Read more…] about MENAGE A TROIS LIC-STYLE

LICTALK HAS REACHED A NEW MILESTONE
First I placed a call to my personal banker to release the funds to Bentley Manhattan for my new ride, then I called my investment banker to tell the VC scrutinizing LICtalk’s books that I want a valuation north of $50 million or it’s no deal. Why? Because LICtalk just reached a new milestone: 200 Twitter followers! Oh, I know that is not that many, but in 2014 it’s the quality of readers that matter, not the quantity, and I’ve assured my prospective suitors that everyone reading this site is the equivalent of [Read more…] about LICTALK HAS REACHED A NEW MILESTONE
