Now, I can hold a note for a long time...actually I can hold a note forever. But eventually that's just noise. It's the change we're listening for. The note coming after, and the one after that. That's what makes it music.

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.

Skulk, brenda, skulk quietly.

I came come to 2 messages on my machine. O'Malley and Clinton. I deleted them BOTH without listening all the way through. Fear my delete!

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

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

Wow. That's some creative punctuation/capitalization going on there.

Why do I hear that as delivered by one of the screaming happy maniac guys in the local car dealer ads?

OMG.

All I'm saying is, he's quite a (*)catch(*) for the "RIGHT" WOMAN. (!)

What is even happening?

What does that "BBW" thing mean? I tried to get it from the context, but his syntax, punctuation, and caps were too much for me to take.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Possibly the best Craigslist personal ad ever:

Wow. That guy's enthusiasm and punctuation make Dr. Bronner look positively sedate. Possibly my favorite part is:

I would to Meet Someone REAL and talk for right now and see what happens as things are a >>BIT! of a "ClUsTeRfUcK!" in My life (at the moment)

but this is also very appealing:

IF YOU BELEIVE YOU AND ( "I" ) ARE REALISTCLY A PLAUSABLE MATCH Please, " PLEASE ! E-MAIL MEAT YOUR EARLIEST CONVIENINCE OF LEISURE

ION, much job-ma to Allyson, brenda's boss, and brenda's unjustly fired co-worker. Hell, to Allyson and everyone at brenda's company except the crack-addled COO (or is it the CEO? Anyhow, no ~ma at all to the crack-addled C_O).

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

That is an *awesome* personal ad. But for the most part I want to know who replies to it!

JZ, that last part cracked me up.

Marketplace is doing the best faux prop 111 campaign ads. "Vote against prop 111...if you are human."
