fuskeez has this in her journal. Can't get anything past that girl. ;-) Seen by me in this post by shanesnaughtyminx at the JJB. Looooooooong, so I'll cut. Entitled "Kiss Chase-z." Weh? I guess it makes sense to somebody out there.
From the Top of the Pops website.
Former *NSYNC member and now Basement Jaxx guest vocalist, JC Chasez has a few years of snogging under his belt. So we dragged him behind the bike shed to ponder the delights of kissing...
TOTP: Do you remember who your first kiss was with and when it was?
JC: It was in first grade and her name was Leah. I guess I was six. It was just a little pop kiss, it was cool. Of course when you're that young you have to act like you hate it, but you love it. [adopts squeaky voice] "I can't stand it, don't do it, don't do it.... Okay!"
TOTP: What's the worst snog you've ever had?
JC: I don't remember the girls name, thank God. Umm...but she licked my front teeth! I don't know, she was trying to be feisty or whatever. I don't know what came over this girl but it was horrible. It just made me really uncomfortable. Like, "What was that...?"
TOTP: Did you ever kiss her again after that?
JC: Absolutely not! That kiss was the end man. The end! [laughs]
TOTP: Do you keep your eyes open or shut when you're kissing?
JC: [lets out a deep breath and thinks for a long time] I don't know. Sometimes I've had my eyes open before but not very often.
TOTP: Have you ever opened your eyes to see the other person staring back at you?
JC: Uh no. Thank goodness, I think that would freak me out.
TOTP: On a first date do you go for tongues or just a little peck?
JC: Depends on the vibe, you know. If there's chemistry you go with the flow. It just depends on if love is in the air or not, you know. [chuckles]
TOTP: Do you like to snog in public?
JC: I don't do a whole lot of it. I don't mind it I guess but it's not something I make a practise out of. I feel like there's a time and a place for everything. If there's mood where everyone is coupled up and it's all good then it's all good, but if it's not like that then my whole thing is I don't want to make the people around me feel uncomfortable. Just out of courtesy. If someone's making-out you don't want them leaning all over you either, it can make you feel a little awkward, like you've invaded their space. I wouldn't want to do that to somebody else.
TOTP: What's the longest kiss you've ever had?
JC: [slightly incredulous] I never had a stopwatch, I have no idea. You know, it depends, it's not like one kiss it's like making-out. When you're teenagers that's really all you can do at first.
TOTP: Do you have any tips for the perfect kiss?
JC: Yeah, wash with your mouth out before you get busy, you know. A breath mint, anything! Be prepared. Don't go in there with halitosis!
TOTP: Any ideas how to avoid the tooth clashing thing?
JC: You know what you're doing, do what you like. Of course you want to please your partner but I think if you concentrate too hard on pleasing them then you're going to miss out on the fun. The thing is, if you like it, most likely they're going to like it too.
(Find out if JC will 'fess up to snogging a fan!)
TOTP: Imagine you're off to meet a date but you've had a few cloves of garlic at lunch - what do you do?
JC: [looks at TOTP like we're mad] I. Don't. Eat. The cloves of garlic. At lunch! If I know I'm going on a date, stay away from onions and garlic. It doesn't matter how much gum you chew or how many times you brush your teeth. Eat CLOVES of garlic? You're gonna have a rough time with that one. So my advice is go easy.
TOTP: When you're a teenager and you're practising how you're going to do that all-important first snog - what's the best surface to practise on?
JC: I never practised.
TOTP: Not even on the back of your hand?
JC: No way!
TOTP: How do you feel about the idea that fans might have practised how they're going to snog on posters of you?
JC: Uh...I doubt it. But...um...my whole thing is, when you have a partner just start off slow and ease yourself into it. You don't have to do everything at once, take your time. Kinda like put a Lego down and stack one more on, and keep adding on until it's the shape you want it to be.
TOTP: What's the worst 'getting caught' experience you've ever had?
JC: I actually haven't had too many. I've never really had a bad experience. I guess I'm one of the chosen few. I've been lucky, yeah. I've heard horror stories of course like, "Arrrghhh, Mom!".
TOTP: Maybe you've got very liberal parents?
JC: Well again, there's a time and a place for everything and I'm aware of that so I was pretty smart about my business.
TOTP: Have you heard any silly urban myths about kissing?
JC: You kiss a toad and it turns into a prince? Errrr I ain't buying that one! Sleeping Beauty - the prince comes and kisses her and wakes her up! You know she probably fell asleep and didn't wanna wake up for some of those other dudes, she waited for the right one. It's like, "Pay day! Word!".
TOTP: Have you ever snogged a fan?
JC: In a sense, my partner has to respect what I do, it's important to me so - in a sense - every girl I've ever kissed has been a fan. She has to like what I do because it's my whole life and if she doesn't like it we're not really going to get along anyway.
TOTP: Have you ever had a fan try and grab you and force a snog on you?
JC: Yeah, they try but if they're going to go for it I turn my cheek so they can hit the cheek. I'll be honest with you, it freaks me out a little bit. A hug I'm totally cool with but I'm not going to kiss a stranger, that's very intimate, at least for me it is.
TOTP: Picture the scene; you've just drunk a can of fizzy pop and you're about to lunge in for a snog with your girlf when you realise you're about to burp - what do you do?
JC: [laughs] Ummm just give her a hug? I'd pop one on the cheek and act like I gotta go and run to the bathroom. Quick thinking. [grabs mic] DO NOT BURP IN HER FACE OR SHE WILL LEAVE!

Entitled "Kiss Chase-z."
As in the playground game Kiss Chase. I think it's a UK thing.

That sounds like something we called "kiss tag," but if I remember correctly, it was the girls who chased the boys at my school. ::snerk::
