Why this must be read:

How did I get this far into the rec set without a sex pollen story? Especially when there is a canonical sex pollen analogue, the feelings delivery service introduced in episode 29, “Subway”? Cecil mentions “tingling horror,” “as though electrocuted, I stood before him,” “blood feud,” “frustrated origami novice,” “should have left the party hours ago before I could disappoint her,” “overcast Wednesday,” and “trampled by horses” as options, but I’m guessing that anyone who listened to the episode and had any familiarity with slash fiction imagined something more like this:

Shoppers, a Ralph’s spokesperson initially stated, should be aware that the establishment has temporarily “sold out” of Crisco, olive oil, cucumbers, Starburst brand candy, and canned tuna. However, when attending reporters responded to this announcement with little more than glazed eyes and a series of yearning stares—all of which focused primarily on moving lips and flicking tongue—, the spokesperson made a subsequent amendment, adding that you may still see these items for sale on the shelves, you just definitely do not want to buy them, because You Don’t Know Where They’ve Been.
