Get up...get up, you stupid piece of... What did you do that for? What's wrong with you? Didn't you hear a word he said? All of you! You think there's someone just going to drop money on you?! Money they could use?! Well, there ain't people like that. There's just people like me.

"You can't put a price on the joy of not giving a shit." -Zenkitty

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

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.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

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

Seriously.

I'll be the lone voice bought by the chemical-industrial complex and say that acetone will take that bugger right off!

The construction "_______ goodness" has become common enough that googling someone with Goodness for a last name is challenging. And how can an actor (who is listed in IMBD, IBDB, and ITDB) only have one very bad photo of himself on the web? I can find him on a beefcake greeting card in the drugstore but I can't find a decent headshot?

Ann, that's a ferret.

A straight woman having a crush on a gay man isn't inherently full of wrongness. As long as the straight woman realizes that nothing is likely to come of it. The Next Best Thing notwithstanding.

Yep. [link] The first one is him, but nothing else is (there are shows he was in, but no other images of him). He's really much prettier than that would indicate.

What's the best way to get temporary tattoo off one's skin? Should I try to dig out the rubbing alcohol?

Eeek, no. Use an oil. Baby oil, jojoba oil, almond oil, something like that. Heck, even baby wipes or makeup remover cloths would do a better job than rubbing alcohol.

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

Rolling Stone article on Giuliani: [link]

Yes, Rudy is smarter than Bush. But his political strength -- and he knows it -- comes from America's unrelenting passion for never bothering to take that extra step to figure shit out. If you think you know it all already, Rudy agrees with you. And if anyone tries to tell you differently, they're probably traitors, and Rudy, well, he'll keep an eye on 'em for you. Just like Bush, Rudy appeals to the couch-bound bully in all of us, and part of the allure of his campaign is the promise to put the Pentagon and the power of the White House at that bully's disposal.
