awesome threesomes

Now, before you figure I've gone to the Dark Side by posting something naughty on my blog...let's consider for just a momemt, the number 3. It usually gets a bad wrap ("Three's a crowd" , "Third wheel", "3 strikes, you're out", that sort of thing). There's lucky 7, and unlucky 13, but no word to describe 3. So, it has a tendancy to be overlooked as a lucky or good number. But, there are a number of awesome threesomes out there that make me think that 3 is not such a bad number after all.

Before I start the list, I need to thank George Stroumboulopoulos and CBC's The Hour, for this post. They did a this 'rant' on the show on Friday night, and I am shamelessly copying their idea. (If you don't know George, or The Hour, I will post more on them later in the week).

So, here are some awesome threesomes...
