"Fornicating with the help."

That's one way to put it.

UPDATE: "Seal would like to clarify that he was not implying his wife was cheating while they were together, but he was merely pointing out that their separation and divorce are not yet final and they are indeed still legally married."

There's a long history of fornicating with the help.

As to the virtue of that, I guess it depends upon context and outcomes.

Tim said...

Although, as it relates to Ms Klum and Mr. Seal, it seems, if true, bad form on her part.

Adultery has no virtue, regardless of context or outcomes.

"the British-born singer"

I think that bit explains everything. British faux-propriety.

My first glance at the post I wondered:

"Fornicating with the help of what"?

I.e, Viagra, a third participant, Lindsey Meadows porno video, etc.

Tim said...

"Lindsey Meadows porno video, etc."

An Althouse commenter has a porn video?

Do I dare Google it?

Dr Weevil said...

"The help" sounds awfully snobbish and 19th-century and downright unAmerican and antimodern, as if the low social class of your spouse's adulterous partner is more important than the fact of adultery. Aren't we all supposed to be equal now? Or do some people think that if their wives cheat with senators or great artists it's somehow better than cheating with a plumber or auto mechanic?

By the way, it is adultery rather than fornication he's complaining about, right? Because if they're not legally bound, she can have sex with anyone she pleases and it's no more his business than it is mine or anyone else's.

Klum's relationship with the bodyguard was "strictly professional" during her marriage

So she paid him for it.

Be careful, the third link that came up for me the other day slowed my computer to a crawl.

Ok, thanks for that.

Does Lindsey Meadows bleach her anus, per an earlier thread here?

I'm just curious.

Maybe if I wait long enough, I can wait and ask her, instead of looking for it on Google.

That might be safer.

"Would you kiss me if I wear the hat?"

Tony Montana: I like Frank, you know? Only I like you better...

Elvira Hancock: Don't get it confused, Tony. I don't fuck around with the help.

Tony: You wanna play that way with me, I play with you.

Elvira Hancock: Shit.

Tony: Would you kiss me if I wear the hat?

Elvira: No. Playtime is over. Okay?

I'm disappointed. I thought this might be about GOP hero Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Kirby Olson said...

This is the earliest version of the Stones' hit, "It's All Over Now." It first appeared in 1963, as sung by Bobby Womack. This takes about 20 seconds to load (before the music begins you see the needle placed on the vinyl), but is worth the wonderful delicacy in the voicing and is far better than the 1964 version which you should avoid.

If I were a woman, I would not hire a good looking nanny. If I were a man, I would not let my wife hire a good looking bodyguard. Go for the guy with bad teeth and extensive facial scars. He's probably a better body guard anyway.

Or just buy a doberman.

I don't know - this is his/her response from that post on Friday that went to 418 comments - with so many comments, it kind of got lost:

alan markus said...
Hope you guys talking to "Lindsey Meadows" know you are most likely talking to a dude."

Nope honey. No penis here. My married name is Meadows as I took my husbands name, no hyphen. Actually my maiden name is..well I'm not telling you otherwise you look and sound like a stalker to me....or one of those rabid curs who seek out husbands and give them hell for liberating their wives....and yes it does happen.

and tell me "alan markus" did you change the spelling of your last name from marcus? the professor marcus? nieman marcus? mighty suspecious to me I'll say. but you could be the alan markus who is an engineer or you could be, count 'em, 5 other alan markuses.

why don't we stick to the fact that your guys are gonna lose and my guy is gonna win.


A few errors in his/her logic:

1) I suggested she is a he. So if I think she is a he, how could I be one of those rabid curs who seek out husbands and give them hell for liberating their wives. Sounds too much like the standard Dem "war on women" meme. Ironic, considering that this site is hosted by a liberated woman one-time Obama supporter (who has since become a wife) and scads of conservative men follow her.

2) I am suggesting that "Lindsey Meadows" is a pseudonym, as is the case for probably 95% of the commenters here, present company included.

"Fornicate" is one of my favorite words, not because of what it means, but because it just sounds funny and almost sounds like onamonapia.

My #1 favorite word is "spork".

Oh. I missed that.

I don't ever want to know if some dude bleaches his anus.

Never, ever.

Maybe Googling her videos is safer, after all...

Later, maybe. It is Sunday, after all.

Bob Ellison said...

This may be a case of bifurcation by fornication.

Do you realize you could switch the meanings of "fornicate" and "spork", and they would work just as well?

Fornicating with your servants, while it has a long history, is more reprehensible than fornicating with people who aren't your servants. You're in a position of power and responsibility over your servants that makes fornicating with the help a little more rape-y than fornicating with someone who is not your subordinate. It's the same reason even Americans think that teachers shouldn't have sex with their own students, and bosses shouldn't proposition their secretaries.

Why is Seal famous again? It drives me insane to see him in the news. The dude had ONE Adult Contempory hit EIGHTEEN years ago. He is the has been of all has beens, but by the headlines you'd think he was teh Bieb or something.

edutcher said...

From the Latin "fornix", an archway, which is where the hookers stood after the games.

@ Tim:

I think one of the first comments I read here from Titus was his description of cleaning his anus for Saturday night recreational purposes.

Freeman Hunt said...

The bodyguard better hope things work out with Klum. Job prospects not so good.

rcocean said...

I have no idea who Klum or Seal are, and don't plan to change.

Anonymous said...

Agree with @Kevin. Maybe he's bigger in UK and Europe. It's a slam at the guy more than anything. He can call the guy who is now fucking his wife "the help" and so he does. Was Seal always faithful, I wonder?
