Wow, I wonder if the fake Aunt Ginger will make Mr. Skin.

Couldn't they just have forged Frank's signature too?

Good to see Karen back. That should stir things up for Lip.

Well, who told him to show up to court? Was he summoned by the court? He's not exactly easily locatable since he seems to be unofficially living at Sheila's.

Well Fiona told him to be in court before she decided to pursue custody and oddly enough, Frank always seems to show up when it means getting his kids back. He'll throw them under the bus without a problem but he always comes back.

Emmy Rossum crushed this episode. Give her a well deserved Emmy nomination already.

i think she wanted him to do his usual dance at court and just get them back again, until she heard he was the one who called CPS.

interesting to see what happens with the house now. jesus they really do not catch any breaks.

I don't know how it's gay exactly. Like saying anyone who masterbates is Gay. In the same sense if you ever looked at your dick or touched it for more than mere seconds i guess that's gay as well.

A little more of a serious tone for this episode, but I enjoyed it and love how it can walk the line between a comedy and drama pretty effortlessly. Looking forward to seeing how the housing situation plays itself out in the upcoming weeks

Maybe the answer depends on if you come in your mouth or not? And if you do, do you swallow or spit? And, I'm not sure I really want to know the answer.

It does have 1 advantage. If your woman is doing it all wrong you can teach her the best way.

So what disgusting/depraved thing has this show NOT done so far? I have to believe it's a very short list.

Has anyone in the show eaten shit? They haven't done a human centipede yet. Bestiality?

The writers may be running out soon.

Re: Shameless -- "A Long Way From Home" -- 3/03/13

my opinion for discussion stimulation:

i think cock in the mouth is gay. there isn't anything wrong with it, but penis of any sort (even if you are the owner of said appendage) constitutes a level of gayness. you think you're straight and blow some dude when you are drunk, that's at least bi curious.

Finger in the ass by a woman is not gay, by a guy, again bare minimum bi curious by George. dildo in the ass even by a woman = gay. it is the appearance of a penis and satisfying a sublimated desire.

self hand job, hereafter referring to as "masturbation", is not gay because there is a precedent set by having to touch your chonsen when you pee. i am willing to entertain arguments that men who pee sitting down and waive their right to the penile touching afforded by peeing standing up, may be courting some sort of bi curiosity by masturbating. unless they do it sitting down.

i also hold forth that sitting on your hand until it is numb and then using it to pleasure oneself, known as "the stranger" also is indicative of some man on man curiosity.

the book is still open on using your non dominant hand to masturbate, and what that may infer.

Any form of sexual self pleasure is masturbation. It's neither gay nor straight, it's masturbation. It stands on its own.

You've given this a lot of thought.

You touch your wang while peeing? Gay.

The only not-gay-way to pee is to pee like you're posing for a Superman statue, fists on your hips, so that hands never touch male genitalia.

When I get done peeing that way, I'm so excited that I usually have to blow myself. Which is not gay.

No shit eating yet, but Frank with the piss the week before was pretty gross

Actually, they were going to do necrophilia last season (Frank with Butterface) but they decided it was going too far.
