Chocoholic Confusion Explained

[Occhidiangela]

The "bases" are so subjective, it's impossible to put a hard definition on any of them.  I thought I knew them as a kid, then they changed over the years.  *shrugs*

I'd assume that anyone referring to intimacy in terms of bases has all the definitions worked out, including errors, balks, and bad calls by the ump.  :lol:

Getting to first base is "interpersonal communication?" As I remember the metaphor, it had little to do with 'communication' and a lot to do with raging hormones.

I thought it measured the degrees of petting that, to be consistent with the imagery, attempted to overcome tags(hand well placed to deflect roaming fingers), a well aimed throw from the outfield (cop at the window), the ground rule double(arms crossed), or the catcher blocking the plate to prevent what was rather crassly termed "a score."

This use of sports imagery leads to some fun (albeit sophomoric) spinoffs along the lines of "he shoots, he scores -- NO, it hit the corner of the goal" or "looks like the goal line stand put an end to the one night stand." Glad there was no sportscaster on any of my car dates.

The universally understood sports metaphors applied to hormonal pursuits gave Woody Allen a great comedic line, spoken by Diane Keaton, in his film "Play It Again Sam."

"Why do you keep yelling 'slide, slide?'"
