Strange Cravings

Sometimes I get strange fruit cravings. The Mangosteen is the fruit of a certain species of tropical evergreen. Lovely, but indescribable. Just the sort of fruit segment one might enjoy crushing between the roof of the mouth and the tongue. Sweet, slightly tart. White flesh with fragile veining...okay. What do you call the tiny seperate juice bubbles in fruits like oranges? Mangosteen fruit doesn't have those separations, it's more tender, with fibers coming off the middle of the wedge. 
 
Explain how one puts off a dirty old man by being dirtier! Is that like making a vomiting noise when teenage boys in monster trucks hit on girls walking by?

intermittent, cyclic, or constant

Sorry, heh. I meant the cravings. When I posted that comment, all I could see of the entry was the headline. It was one of those heavily-veiled kd lang references, 'cause I'm a dweeb. I don't like letting on that I'm a frothing fan of hers... makes me sound like a clonedyke, y'know? But you mentioned the coffee mug, and, heh. Never mind. (`8

I think what they mostly get off on is the feeling that they're corrupting something innocent. When you grin and matter-of-factly show them your total lack of blushing virginal modesty, they feel like they've been bested and get out of your face. At least, they always have for me. My dad's a dirty old man, and I'm a dirty old man, and my children'll be dirty old men, damnit! Maybe it's just honor among pervs.

Are they intermittent, cyclic, or constant? (`;

I found myself eating ice cream with pickles the other day, and didn't realize it until they were halfway devoured. Gee, I hope I'm not pregnant. That would raise all sorts of baffling questions.
