Deano’s answer to: “What should a guy do when an attractive drunk girl comes on to him?”

Just say "But… You're drunk." Sad puppy eyes, and slight negative curvature of the mouth. Make it beyond clear that drunken sex isn't just distasteful and possibly date-rapetty bad, but downright tedious to consider for a Love Stallion™ like yourself. If you don't know quite how to pull the above off with your existing facial expression repetoire, you can practice in front of a mirror saying "my cruise ship room service waiter days are OVER, missy" with just your eyebrows for a few weeks. Practice, practice.

Then, optionally, "Let's do things that are fun to do when you're drunk, instead!" Happy birthday clown eyes, wild grin. Run outside and try to pee on whatever nighttime fauna are available in the vicinity. Sing an entire NWA album to a random member of her cell phone's contact list. Don't take advantage too much, but don't hesitate to lightly punish the overindulgent through sheer silliness and outright mockery. It's the only way they'll ever learn. You could be indirectly saving a life every time those bloodshot eyes are caught like dazed Pokémon on someone's Facebook wall.

Be fun, entertaining, and make a clear effort to moderate between trying to sober her up a bit, and trying to keep her from hurling indoors. Call her a cab. Make sure there are enough pictures and videos that everyone at the party will remember what a wacky class act you are. You may even get a hungover thank you call the next day, which, if desired, you can be parlay into her taking you out for dinner by way of apology… And who knows where that might lead.

Homerun version: you get more than one hungover apology call. Sometimes women remember the crazy stuff that happened at a party, and just assume all that awesome was them. Feel free to date as many of these sheepish Sunday callers as you like… Just make sure to get an address from each, otherwise things might get a bit awkward when you realize you're dating roommates only after taking the second one back to her place for a naked twister nightcap (true story).

Deano’s answer to: “Why is it called the Millennium Falcon?”

Because the writers and director of "A New Hope" wanted the ship to sound both futuristic (At the time of Star Wars' release in 1977, the new Millenium was almost 23 years away), as well as faaaaaast (The Falcon is a predatory bird, and its primary means to capturing small prey like other birds/mice/fish/Calista Flockhart(*)/etc is to locate and observe them stealthily while gliding at great height, then descend on them rapidly like a gravity-powered heat seeking missile).


Given the visual design of the ship, which as a necessary plot point looks both old/decrepit and sluggish, the juxtaposition with the name also serves as occasional comic relief throughout the course of the film franchise.

Deano’s answer to: “How rare is it for men to have an orgasm and remain erect until the following orgasm or two?”

This is rare in the sense that it doesn't happen often unintentionally. If you're interested in greater control to extend or reduce erection persistence, read up on tantric techniques for men.

I believe this is also covered in "The Multiorgasmic Man", but it's been a while…

Deano’s answer to: “Why are most of the outlets in apartments in Mountain View, CA two-prong?”

It's a clear sign of one of two factors:

  • Age – Older outlets in California are two-prong, often ungrounded. They're still exceeding common, given the cost of electrical retrofits, and the secondary issues they may reveal during inspections (plumbing, seismic) that would also need fixing.
  • Low-amp Circuits – Sometimes, people try to do really crazy things with standard apartment electrical outlets. To help prevent this, apartment management outfits most of the outlets (except the kitchen and bathroom) with two prong outlets, to make sure higher-amp electrical devices (grow-lights, hot plates, table saws) are not used within their apartments. Even if we're not talking about burning the place down accidentally, reduce the power output capacity, and you help reduce the potential noise factor for neighbors, which is less headaches for management. The basic idea is, if they give you higher amp protected circuits, you'd automatically abuse them. It's simply not worth the perceived risk for shorter term (sub 2-year) leases.

Depending on the nature of your apartment, it's much more likely to be the former – though some of the short term lease apartment complexes/chains do have a sprinkling of the latter as well.
