...neither performer carries the virus. The exchange is routine and ritualistic, like a coin toss before a football game. I was watching and noticed that Marylin Star's driver's license read Kathryn Akahoshi, prompting me to ask why this blond had a Japanese name. She had become a stripper in Calgary while still a teenager, hitting Los Angeles in the mid-'90s to enter the adult-video business and then diving into a marriage with a Japanese businessman. The couple subsequently divorced. She was articulate and confident, and I got the feeling that for her, real life was what...

...registers the recipient in his or her Outlook Express program as "Bubbleboy" of "Vandelay Industries" (a reference to one of George Costanza's fictional workplaces).

But they too are going to spend their time fighting for the environment. There must be some FCC equation for how much sexual exploitation one can do for each...
