Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Oh my. I have been so busy I haven't read b.org in two days. And now I find that horrible things have been happening.
-t, I am so so sorry. There are no words really.
And Kat! Ack! Why does the shit always pile on at once? If there's ANYTHING I can do, let me know.

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
PBR is so five years ago. Where's the Miller High Life resurgence??
PBR is back now, but now its referred to as "Pabst".
(Or at least it was, repeatedly, by the adorable nasal girl on the subway platform telling her three adorable friends for about five nasal minutes about how she really wanted some Paaaabst so her friend called around to find a distributor that would sell Paaaabst to the public and he found some Paaaaabst but it was all the way down on 115th street but the Paaaaabst was ONLY $17 A CASE!!!!OMG)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Pretty wedding dresses! Or, dresses to wear to weddings.
I have a million errands to do today. And then I want to walk and sit by the river.

Crud. No answer at the hardware store probably means they are closed on Sundays, huh.

"It didn't taste good. It tasted soooo horrible. It tasted like....a vodka martini." - Matilda
I remember the Alamo as worth it, if only for the shock of seeing how tiny and indefensible it is. I had one of those moments when you see something you've read about and have to rewrite your entire mental picture.
I'm now earwormed with the (not quite historically accurate) song:
A hundred and eighty were challenged by Travis to die
By the line that he drew with his sword when the battle was nigh
Saying he who would die for Texas cross over
But he who would live better fly
And over that line stepped one hundred and seventy-nine

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Douche alert. Makes the guy who wrote the pickup article look like a smooth and sensitive guy. Honestly, don't go there if you have any rape triggers, or just don't want to soil yourself.
However, I don't believe women are going to give up feminism and their "equality" anytime soon, and in the meantime I certainly do condone rape. It may be the only way we can turn the tide
He self describes as
an antifeminist (not to be confused with misogynist). I am a graduate student in Latin and I wish I were a pickup artist.
And I can't imagine why he wishes he were a PUA. I'm pretty sure he's not getting any. A definite argument for googling a guy before you get into it with him. Although I doubt he'd be able to hide himself for long.
