I am, in fact, a 50 year old gay man.
Fred: So you don't worry that it's possible for someone to send out a biological or electronic trigger that effectively overrides your own sense of ideals and values and replaces them with an alternative coercive agenda that reduces you to a mindless meat puppet? Shopkeeper: Wow. People used to think that I was paranoid.

Ok, so the dirty thoughts I have had about Victor are more threatening to my sanity than to a non-existent marriage. I am surprisingly all right with that.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Wow. I think I want my death to involve the word "wherewithal."

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.
Betsy tells me I am 100% authentically real. She hasn't told me real what yet.

Also, if we're putting in obit vocabulary requests, I want "gumption" or possibly "stick-to-itiveness."
Out of all the weird/fishy stuff, the bit that sticks out most for me is the tale of the sold-but-unpublished novel with the retained advance in 2003 and then again (with added broken scanner and bouncing synopsis emails) this past summer. Yet, still not mad, except at myself for never twigging at all to anything even though it seemed many other Buffistas had their pseudar on alert. Gus was/is just that charming, damn him/her/it.

Well, really, the biggest tipoff was him not letting me marry Seamus.
Totally implausible.
