CITY LOVING
Like dating and stuff like that. That's what this category is about. You know, when two people develop a mutual attraction for each other and go on special outings in and around Regina to explore that attraction and deepen their attachment to each other, and do other things like make out and go couples shopping.
BEST INDOOR PUBLIC SPOT TO MAKE OUT
GALAXY CINEMAS
420 McCarthy Blvd. 584-3456
I've only been to the Galaxy once. It was a few years back to see the Ben Stiller vehicle Night at the Museum. I went with my sister who was visiting from Quebec City. So I don't have a clue if you guys are right or not. But it does stand to reason, I guess. It's dark, the seats are comfortable, and most people's attention is focused on the movie being screened. Except for you horny buggers who are busy making out. /GB
BEST PLACE FOR OGLERS
WASCANA PARK
My vote went to the Scarth St. Mall. Of course, I both live and work on the mall so I have plenty of first-hand knowledge of the ogling opportunities that exist. In the summer in particular, there's a steady flow of foot traffic. And a good mix of people too from more upscale office workers to young free-spirited hippies to stylish indie types downtown to shop, work and otherwise hangout. But with all the Frisbee players, joggers, tourist types, Leg' workers and dog walkers, I imagine the ogling is pretty good in Wascana Park too. /GB
BEST URBAN AREA FOR SEXY SHENNAIGANS
WASCANA PARK
So after you ogle each other up and down, you head off to some remote spot in the park and make out, is that it? That's pretty brazen of you. I answered "baseball dugout" in this category, by the way. No game going on, of course. Now on to the next category before I incriminate myself any further. /GB
BEST WAY TO MEET A NEW SNUGGLE CHUM
PLENTYOFISH.COM
Actually, there aren't plenty of fish. In the ocean, that is. Factory trawling and our rapacious appetite for seafood is decimating fish stocks worldwide and forcing us sink ever lower on the palatability scale to find species to consume. As for what all this has to do with a website that a plurality of our readers apparently troll when looking to hook a new romantic partner, I haven't a clue. /GB
BEST STORE FOR ROMANTIC COUPLE SHOPPING
LOVE PLUS
1810 Broad St.
352-7932
Everyone in my ideal world would be sex-positive and well-educated on the topic. That's the direction I think we're heading towards eventually, but we're not there quite yet. Places like Love Plus -- and people like the ones who work there -- are keeping us on that path. Truth of the matter is, sex can be an inventive, fun, non-seedy thing. That's kept in mind at Love Plus, a safe environment to shop for the sexy part of your romantic lives. / JB
BEST REASON TO CHEAT ON YOUR PARTNER
NO GOOD REASON/NEVER
Dan Savage is the editor and advice columnist for The Stranger, the Seattle alt-weekly that's beloved by prairie dog staffers. He's also the co-originator of the It Gets Better movement. Savage argues that monogamy is an artificial construct. But what does he know, right? Because when it comes to fidelity, prairie dog readers seem to be a pretty loyal lot. Although "They cheated on me first" did receive some votes, and was runner-up in the poll. For the record, we saw no ballots saying, "Because the makeup sex is incredible." /SL
BEST THING YOUR LOVER COULD SAY TO YOU
I LOVE YOU
All the swell sonnets and songs out there celebrating the glory of love, and the best thing your lover could ever say to you is "I love you"? Hmmnn. "Shall I compare thee to a summer's day? Thou art more lovely and more temperate." [William Shakespeare]. "You are so beautiful to me. Can't you see? You're everything I hoped for. You're everything I need." [Joe Cocker]. "How do I love thee, let me count the ways. I love thee to the depth and breadth and height my soul can reach." [Elizabeth Barrett Browning]. "Like baby, baby, baby, oh." [Justin Bieber]. I mean, c'mon readers. You can do better than "I love you", can't you? /GB
