Elect me for governor!

You got my vote. But, over the smiling robot (tm some other Buffista I'm memfaulting on) I'd vote for just about anybody.

All is well that ends in pizza.

So, the Boston drivers would be less crazy if they had more oral sex while driving?

Well, they'd certainly be more relaxed.

Not so much until after...

Punishingly Intricate

I went to BU and lived in Myles.

I was in Shelton! 4th floor. The "Writer's Floor." I lived there 86-88.

And I totally just had a recovered memory of witnessing a case of oral sex while driving in Kenmore Sq. heh.

(The driver was receiving, in case anyone was wondering.)

heh, my dorm room was on the corner of Beacon Street and Charlesgate (West? East? Whichever was the on ramp to Storrow). I went to Emerson and lived in Fensgate, sadly closed now. Well, sold and coverted to condos.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

it makes Dallas, Los Angeles, Atlanta, and Washington D.C. all look calm and relaxing in comparison

Huh. I've never driven in Atlanta or Dallas, but LA and DC drivers always seem terribly un-alert compared to Boston drivers, to me. I feel safer driving in Boston because I feel I can trust the drivers there to be paying attention.

That's what I'm talking about!

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Until some court says that they are unconstitutional, then many writers will only say that they are "apparently" unconstitutional.

Okay, that mostly clears things up. What would it take for another court to call them unconstitutional? Which courts count? Can one court dub them all unconstitutional?

It's my husband's contention that S&G were destroyed mainly for being inhospitable to strangers.

Which agrees with the meat of the article:

Homosexuality can not be called one of the sins of Sodom, Gomorrah or Gilbeah since it is not in any of the lists of their sins given in the O.T. Ezekiel 16:48-50 lists the specific sins of Sodom as pride, plenty, laziness, uncaring for needy, haughty and worshipping idols - which was an abomination - not homosexuality.

If I only had a brain...

Boston drivers are mean. In Charlotte or Atlanta, if you're trapped in the wrong line, you can signal and people will make space to let you change lanes. In Boston? Use the turn signal and they speed up to make sure you don't.

I do hate LA drivers, by and large, but there's room left over for contempt. The panic induced by Boston drivers leaves no such room. I don't care that they're paying attention when not stopping at a stop sign (and not just rolling like CA, but full on driving), or going the wrong way down a one way street.

Sounds like what some accuse the US of being....
