"Goldilocks and the Three Drinks" was inspired by the following quote from Rachel Machacek's book, "The Science of Single":

"To thwart any possible sex, I'd gone in prepared. This meant I actually planned for a night of sex, because everyone knows that shaved legs and lacy underwear guarantee no hookup. However, my theory is if I go in with full-coverage cotton underwear that comes in three-packs and with a five-day growth on my legs, it's altogether possible I could end up dancing around a pole."
