Yeah, I pretty much knew Liberace was gay before I knew there was gay.
Change Liberace to Charles Nelson Reilly and you have me.
eta: Or maybe Paul Lynde.
No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

Where people believed Liberace was straight?
Ten years ago, friend of mine had a massive crush on another friend of ours. Her crush continued unabated even after he took us to a bunch of gay bars and introduced us to his series of boyfriends, whom he met while modeling. This, apparently, wasn't enough evidence for her to notice that he wasn't straight, because she kept loudly crushing on him. Eventually several of us staged a mini-intervention, shook her by the shoulders, and shouted in her face, "F is gay. GAY GAY GAY. GAAAAAAAAAY."
I'm still not sure she's fully parsed that.

Hmmm... I had a friend who was also GAY GAY GAY, but he would occasionally encourage straight women's crushes on him. Weird.

What's the best way to get temporary tattoo off one's skin? Should I try to dig out the rubbing alcohol?
It's lasted pretty well for a week, really, but it's to the stage where it looks grotty enough to come off. The one that I put just below the hollow under my throat got sweat off in a day, but this one on the back of my forearm is just hanging in there.

Theo, I think that tattoo is telling you that it needs to be permanent.
Love the COMMics! Especially the shrift/Fay one. Hee.

In this case, there was no encouragement, only the most staggering case of obliviousness that I'd been witness to at the tender age of nineteen.
In hindsight, I probably wouldn't have been so surprised by her inability to acknowledge reality if only I'd spent more time working for corporate America first.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.
Theo, I'd try witch hazel first just because it's not quite so harsh.

Theo, try something oil-based, like lotion. Or, failing that, just use olive/cooking oil.
Seriously.
