The Polyamory Pickle!
If you have EVER been involved with more than one lover at at time, you must watch this comic short movie by Kirby Ferguson: It's called Polly-Wally.
I lived this movie, I'm afraid to say. But I only lasted for about a week.
Acually, go ahead and watch it even if you're as pure as the driven slush. Kirby sure seems like an inventive guy... I think he should do a whole series about life in San Francisco as we know it!
Dang. I just wrote a post on Eros blog about this same concept (not the same topic, mind you, but let's get back to relevance). I can't seem to say it enough. Sometimes the reasons behind what you're doing are more important than the actions themselves. Not so much as an ends-and-means thing as an intent-and-means.
I do know what you're talking about in regards to this first hand. In fact, some of the situations could raise eyebrows but I'm saving them for the books right now.
The whole point is, people make their own hell because of the agendas they choose. A little introspection could help this.

That is most excellent--especially the part where they play the music for "polly-wally doodle all day." So funny. Thanks for sharing this.

These people are hilarious. Looks like something that runs parallel to http://www.oldeenglish.org/ but more lewd.

Should be required watching for anyone considering poly, as a "what not to do" primer!
(My husband, our partner and I are all cracking up... and thinking ARGH, we know those dorks!)

It's official. 85% of Random Online Poly Communities are made up of those characters' sockpuppets.
Nearly died. The scheduler just made it.

That's pretty funny, actually... Although undoubtedly not the first relationship that's been re-energized by a strap-on!!!

That clip reminds me just a little bit of a hoary old movie from the Decade of Decadence (i.e. the 70's) called The Harrad Experiment, which I bought as one of those $4.95 DVD's in a supermarket a few years back. 'Cept that the movie seemed to be more about swinging than poly. It was the 70's after all. Someone please pass that bottle of Boone's Farm...
