Hillary or Obama? Romney or McCain? Both nominations races have turned into nailbiters. But neither contest compares with the bitter rivalry between Experience and Change.
We're all familiar with that capricious, inconstant flibbertigibbet Change. We know who not to wait up for at night. Change will always leave us hanging.
But what about Experience? Every candidate claims to have it. Of course we all want an experienced candidate ... whatever that means ...

1. lmao @ 'We did sex'
That made me laugh for 10 minutes!
Jacqueline aka Mashka at 1:34AM on Jan 16th 2008
2. We did sex? Is that grammatically correct?
He LOOKS 17 still! Are we sure he's experienced?
Gabrielle at 1:40AM on Jan 16th 2008
3. She had a ticket to the bone exhibit! lmoa
Melissa at 1:41AM on Jan 16th 2008
4. Oh yeah, doing the sex, definitely grammatically correct--
riding &/or operating the mine shaft, negotiating the scream machine.
That's some nasty good stuff!
The last one, kind of a buzzkill.
Not sure what to say... Sorry, Nice Lady...?
Chester Arthur at 2:17AM on Jan 16th 2008
5. Very funny, C.A.! :)
Gabrielle at 3:14AM on Jan 16th 2008
6. Of course it's grammatically correct. "We did sex" is the preterite conjugation of "do", as in "We do sex". My personal preference is of course the past participle, "We done sex".
Rachael Latimer at 3:24AM on Jan 16th 2008
7. Another awesome answer! Is it ok to say "We done had sex?"
Gabrielle at 4:11AM on Jan 16th 2008
8. Mo, the last video was such a buzz-kill!
I would think your experience blogging would give you better judgement.

9. I'm going to six flags to get laid.
Blayze at 9:20AM on Jan 16th 2008
10. I would rather have someone with intelligence who can aspire to greatness instead of someone with experience who can't really make a difference. People in the US complain about their government, but they never elect anyone good that comes along. Hillary Clinton is a powerbroker and a crook. She has lied about many things and she will say anything to get elected. Barack Obama is the one candidate who can really make a difference in this country, but people have to give him a chance to prove himself. This country is never going to change unless we stand up and make an effort to turn our government around.

11. Aw Mo,
What an experience: From Sex, to Six Flags to Sartre in less than two minutes.
I'm definitely going back on the mushrooms.
Blayze, you might want to consider a season pass.

12. Ok - that was f'ing hysterical. "I was the piston and she was...uh...the other part of the piston".
Did she say "slow-coaster" when referencing the ride at Six Flags?
Oh, and I love the second actress - Lemon Parnham (I think that is her name) I saw her do this improv thing based on the actual script of Showgirls: The Movie and she rocked my world.
Anyone want a ticket to my "bone exhibit"? Huh?
Bixter at 10:21AM on Jan 16th 2008
13. Yes - I think she said slow coaster. The kid still wins in my opinion - I question his sexual experience from his awkwardness with jargon. Is he the voice of experience? From only ONE 21 year old "broad"?
Gabrielle at 10:32AM on Jan 16th 2008
14. I thought the 2nd part was an example of change. She thought it was going to be another boring day at home, but no! It was a day at Six Flags! The experience was a change of pace!!
mo-NEEK-a at 11:18AM on Jan 16th 2008
15. Gabriella,
oh yeah (!) he's most likely experienced, though, I'm figuring he seriously embellished THAT particular experience with the 27 yr old. (probably from one of his day-dreams...lol!)
My husband's a pediatrican and truth be told:
MIDDLE-SCHOOLERS are VERY sexually active---a peer-pressure thing, for sure.
He also works in the ER and sees a ton of skanky/smelly youngsters coming through with all kinds of diseases........sad, very sad....
