For my straight readers: – are you “out” as an ally? – are you able to talk about gay friends or relatives with others? – are you comfortable shooting down homophobes when they spout off during a conversation?
Yes. and Hell Yes.
Saffron: You won't tell anyone about me breaking down? Mal: I won't. Saffron: Then I won't tell anyone how easily I got your gun out of your holster. Mal: I'll take that as a kindness.

[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
Sean, so sorry you didn't make the cut.

Yup.

If I want to become a cloud of bats, does each bat need a separate vaccination?
From Pam at Pandagon: If you are straight and an ally, COME OUT. Support your gay friends and loved ones when you hear intolerant conversation, politely engage ignorance with information.
Oh, I loves me some Pam, I do.
Sean, congratulations on your rejection letter!

Also, one of the editors will be making a blog post next monday about the five most common mistakes or problems in the submissions they saw.
I hope I mostly made uncommon mistakes.

37 rounds to 40, and 52-40 is 12, then I add back in the 3 that took 37 to 40, for a total of 15.
This, sort of--I do it by adding, I don't like to subtract, if it's not like, 47-32 (which is easy, cause the 7 is bigger than the 2). I'd be all "37, so that's three to 40, and ten, and two...fiveteen!" Or I use my fingers.
I have keys to my new apartment!!! I have to pick colors to paint it. What goes with red couches?
BEHOLD the man who survived 5 heart attacks! MARVEL as he rakes leaves this weekend!
Good lord, Teppy. That's so crazy.
I also love teaching the FOIL method of two-digit multiplication: 52 * 37 = (50 + 2)(30 + 7) and FOIL it: 1500 + 350 + 60 + 14 = 1924
....good lord. How did that never occur to me? Well, I suppose I'd just write it out. Or use a calculator. I never do that kind of multiplication in my head.
Oh, and in honor of National Coming Out Day: I'm A BIG OL' QUEER! WHOOT!
I'm not gay but my girlfriend is!
this is so much less obviously funny, on the internet, where no one knows if you're a girl!

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?
I'm A BIG OL' QUEER!
wait, what?

I know, I know, you're shocked! But beneath this girly exterior beats a heart that not only likes the GIRLS, it likes the girls who look like boys! And the girls who are boys! And likes to dress like a boy! SO CONFUSING! I don't blame you if you give up and swoon into my arms, right here...I'll comfort you. I promise. :)

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart
Trudy, here's all the Salon letter you will ever need, covering all the possible Salon letters bases, so now you never need to go back (unless you want to read the Glenn Greenwald letters, which are usually pretty intelligent):
What about the poor divorced men? What about the suffering of the Duke University students? Why doesn't Salon's blog about women's issues talk more about men's rights? What about those Zionists? What about the right wing medialopolocracy? Why are you all such nuts? Why are you all so painfully bourgeois and mainstream? You breeders make me sick, and anyhow now your kid's life is ruined since you went and mentioned in a parenting column that you actually ARE A PARENT, OMG the withering glare of the endless publicity will kill him. Anyhow, you'll all be sorry when I leave your feminocratic shores to move to Uzbekistan and find a REAL woman who can appreciate a REAL man, not like you American harpies!
In conclusion, wah wah wah!
Did I miss anything?
