Yesterday, City Lights Editor Mike Riggs revealed that he dressed as "Trailer Trash Zombie" for Halloween this year, a costume he claimed was “not even a little bit" sexy—“unless short denim shorts, suspenders, a camo ball cap, a black sabbath tee with no sleeves, and really upsetting face paint is your idea of sexy.” Now, [...]

So when a commenter requested that I parse Gucci Mane's lyrics for hidden sexual undertones, I was happy to attempt to smoke out some hidden naughty bits in the rapper's contribution to Young Problemz' "Boi" (Mane weighs in at the 2:55 mark).

Welcome back to another edition of Five Minutes* You'll Never Get Back, City Paper's sex and politics podcast. This week, City Lights Editor Mike Riggs and I discuss the pros and cons of cinema's most recent abstinence-only vegetarian tween vampire phenomenon, Twilight. (Our usual cohort, Intern Bobby, gets a pass this week).
Topics discussed: Jane Austen, [...]
* Admittedly: Even I am unsure how long the podcast is this time. You know, when City Paper's resident libertarian and I get to talkin', it's anyone's guess how long it will take us both to tire of speaking directly to the other. And yet, Mike Riggs and I brave the conversational waters again today [...]
Welcome to another edition of “Five Minutes* You’ll Never Get Back,” wherein Mike Riggs and I delve ever deeper into the darkest corners of the other's soul as we review the week in sex, media, and politics (but mostly sex). Today, five minutes* gets spooky as Riggs and I hash out our deeply seated views [...]
