Are the Darwin Award nominations out yet? Because, although it's sad, I think we have a winner.
Xander, don't speak Latin in front of the books!

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."
Guh. It's been 25 years since the CDC first reported on AIDS. I first read about it in the Morbidity and Mortality Weekly Report when it was still called GRID (Gay Related Immunodeficiency).
In 1982 and 1983, the infection rate within San Francisco's gay population was increasing at an astonishing 18 percent per year. Since those first puzzling cases, at least 18,000 people in San Francisco have died of the disease — six times the estimated toll of the earthquake and fire 100 years ago.
I moved here in '86 and they were just then closing down the bathhouses - an extremely unpopular move.

At least crawling into an NO2 balloon would have been more fun.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Happy birthday, Dana!
We just came back from our godson's christening. Church, then Roscoes, then home for naps.

"Mister Spock is on his fanny, sir. Reports heavy damage."
Guh. It's been 25 years since the CDC first reported on AIDS.
The really scary part? The first proven case died in 1959. (They went back and tested old blood samples from Zaire; they didn't know it till much, much later.) Can you imagine? The disease made its way through Zaire, from the countryside into the cities, and then jumped continents, and had two decades to flourish before anybody with any power noticed.

Fandom means never having to say "But where would I wear that?"
Happy Birthday Dana!
Managed to escape the Folk Fest with just one pair of earrings bought.(Dangly, of course. Red enamel with a black design which could be a flower or a letter in an exotic language, I don't know. I needed more red earrings, so there you go...)

Those sound pretty, Sheryl. And I admire your restraint.
