Yeah, there is the crushed ice/blowjob combo...but, going balls deep into a watermelon seems like it would be akin to putting it in bucket of ice.

What I've found with a few discussions I've had lately is this self-satisfaction that people express with their proffessed open mindedness. In realty it ammounts to wilful ignorance and intellectual cowardice as they are choosing to not form any sort of opinion on a particular topic. Basically "I don't know and I'm not going to look at any evidence because I'm quite happy on this fence."

I watched a program which blathered on about how the spatial arrangement of the hotel in The Shining was not only impossible, but intentionally impossible to throw off the viewer's sense of reality and engross them in the phatasmagoric and surreal - all tribute to the genius of Stanley Kubrick.
I love retcons.

OH MY FUCKING GOD
That is one of my biggest pet peeves... Reviewers, critics, etc. always act as if EVERY SINGLE THING that one might appreciate about some piece of art was deliberately concocted to give that reaction. I'm sorry, but there are way too many really good artists for them all to be that kind of genius.

Yeah true, but Kubrick man, Kubrick. I would not have put it past him. There's a movie out about obsessives called Room 237 but I'm not quite that bananas, though I do think some of the claims seem to ring true. Especially as I came to similar conclusions based on it being one of my favourite movies ever and then finding out others were seeing the same things.

Re: Is the term "skepchick" offensive? Or, does it depend?
Originally, it came from the JREF forum, where they had a poll taken on what to call the female skeptics there to identify them as a group. Skepchick was chosen and was used there, long before Watson joined up. When she started her blog network, she appropriated the name. Some, like Dr Hall, find it offensive and demeaning, others don't. I think it's a bit hypocritical to use a name that is (to me) inherently sexist while claiming to not want to be "sexualized" (along with the naked calendar and drunken parties they are famous for). It's hard to take them seriously when they talk out of both sides of their heads.
