I don't know if I'll be able to take the rampant sexism for long. The smoking cracks me up, though.
with a side of eww, everybody's breath stinks. I mean, my GOD.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
Now there's a conspiracy theory I haven't heard before.
Think I should forward it to Bill O'Reilly? Or Rush Limbaugh? (I wanna hear Rush talk about Feminazibabies.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I want that I Like It Rough shirt something awful. And I like the one you linked to, Scola.
And the only reason I'd like to have a boyfriend right now is to force him to wear this.

Those shirts are great. Too spendy for me, but great. Though I like the one Tom linked to.

Yet another article on all this crap that your subconscious does without your consciousness being aware of it: [link]
More fundamentally, the new studies reveal a subconscious brain that is far more active, purposeful and independent than previously known. Goals, whether to eat, mate or devour an iced latte, are like neural software programs that can only be run one at a time, and the unconscious is perfectly capable of running the program it chooses.
The give and take between these unconscious choices and our rational, conscious aims can help explain some of the more mystifying realities of behavior, like how we can be generous one moment and petty the next, or act rudely at a dinner party when convinced we are emanating charm.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.
I'm in the middle of a writing test that uses the word "fungible".

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.
Which one? The pipe smoker? Or Draper?
Pipe smoker I guess. I'm not talking about the lead.

Mad Men has duly been added as a season pass. I keep seeing it because the sushi restaurant and the bar that feed me three nights out of every seven seem to be playing either it or previews over my friend's shoulder.
Now I'll try watching it.
Though Turturro may be indelibly linked with The Transformers now, more's the pity.
