Do I wish I was somebody else right now. Somebody not... married, not madly in love with a beautiful woman who can kill me with her pinkie!

Natter 37: Oddly Enough, We've Had This Conversation Before.  

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?

In non-horsefucking news, a Swedish library is offering to lend out representatives of minority groups, including lesbian and gay people, in a bid to tackle prejudice and discrimination.

The real-life lending system will also include religious leaders and members of ethnic minorities, in a bid to help minorities and local people mix.

Organized by Malmo Library, those taking part in the scheme will be able to take their lent representatives outside for a 45-minute conversation about their beliefs, culture and way of life.

A spokesperson for the library told the AFP news agency that the idea is to challenge preconceived ideas about people.

Ulla Brohed said the majority of people's prejudices come from being "just uninformed."

A gay person, an imam, a journalist and a Gypsy will take part in the first stages of the project.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

"But did you people see the videos? COME ON."

No. Shit. I remember girls in jr. high crying when the very first rumors of his gaydom hit in '88. It was to laugh, for my gaydar was already sending out full alerts on that boy.

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

That's what started off the last horsefucking conversation, Jessica.

I'd lobby for Carrot Top to be included in a "crimes against nature" legislation.

Nike print ad -- knees -- that hits me where I live.

"We have trust issues." Mylar

Ew, ew, eeewwww. This is definitely worse than Carrot Top.

So, I'm watching George Michael Behind the Music, and he's talking about how he decided not to come out when Wham was first making it big, but then he's like, "But did you people see the videos? COME ON."

I would've thought that the feathered hair was enough of a dead give-away. Even without the short-shorts and fingerless gloves.

I must obey the inscrutable exhortations of my soul—Calvin and Hobbs

When I was in junior high the thought of people being gay just didn't occur to me. I barely contemplated people being straight.

That changed a little bit in high school. And a whole hellovalot in college.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."

Yes. It was discussed while you were in Canada, I think.

And really, whoever first coined the phrase "hung like a horse" as a compliment must have had orifices like unto Luray Caverns, you think? Cause otherwise, yeah, peritonitis.

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

George Michael looked stereotypically masculine compared to most of his co-workers at the time.

Oh, I must have been skimming.

Yes. It was discussed while you were in Canada, I think.

Ah! In that case, I'm both impressed and a little embarrassed that of all the current events to keep track of while I was on vacation, that one stuck in my mind.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

Perhaps, but when you factor in the voices Steven Tyler and the boys from Poison took back the butchness despite all the long hair and lipstick.
