Personally, I've never had a problem with the use of "man" or "men" in older material. Including hymns (in large part because the "updates" tend to suck -- poetry is hard enough ONCE, you know?).
Shh! I kinda wanna hear me talking right now!

[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.

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

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

I never have either, which is why I thought I'd better ask.

What is even happening?
Ginger, I love the quote. Would you be crediting Franklin in the card, because if so I would think most reasonable people would get it, and if not, well -- if the wish works, maybe they'll get it the next year.

Love is stronger than death and harder than sorrow. Those who practice it are fierce like the light of stars traveling eons to pierce the night.
It's Ben Franklin, so it's understandable. But I love the Elliot quote.

Trust my rage
It took me reading to the end of that article to understand that "slits his throat" was literal - in that he hadn't died from it. How creepy.
And Ginger, I like your quote, esp. if it's credited because that helps place the language in history.

“Not dead yet!”
to start posting stuff I've found on my own - like this.
Oh, SIGH indeed. That is GORGEOUS. *whimpers because she lives in freakin' FLORIDA*
S'okay, though. I consoled myself with these. On deep, deep, deeeeeeep discount, even.

Hey Emily - come to Michigan for New Year's and stay with us.
Hmm, no can do. Can I make up for it by getting you another camel?

Punishingly Intricate
A few weeks ago was like the first time he was out and about being social with a friend, without me. I stayed at home and waited for his drunk ass to call me for a pickup from the train station- it's always the other way around.
awesome! I have no problem with someone sharing my interests and friends and wanting to do stuff together. I love all my people loving each other! And I have no problem with people being more introverted than me or whatever. The idea of someone depending entirely on me for social interaction, though, is a little scary.
