Faith ,'End of Days'
Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, pandas, duct tape, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.
So, all the people who sing "Do You Know What It Means to Miss New Orleans," including the people who are from there, are DOIN IT RONG? That is seriously fucking hilarious.
I make an exception for the sake of rhyming in songs. But only good songs.
I can't tell if this is sarcasm or not and you think that song is crap.
t edit I mean, I don't have a problem with you not liking the song; I'm just having trouble with nuances of the written word, that's all.

Nope. Not sarcasm. The song's a classic.
Right. Back to this statement - my condensed response would be that those people are making extremely problematic assumptions based on a heteronormative and static interpretation of others' sexual identity.
And really, I need to add: "based on a socially constructed and questionable gender/sex binary."
My favorite is "Goin' Back to Louisiana," because it pronounces Louisiana the way I do, and yet still with the "New Orleenz."
Something I saw go relatively unchallenged in the gawker thread was the idea that if you haven't slept with both genders, you couldn't be bi. Which was weird, because most people seem okay with the idea of straight virgins--so it's incredibly heteronormative.
If ending up with a guy made a bi woman straight, being celibate would make me asexual, surely?
Nope. Not sarcasm. The song's a classic.
I edited to indicate that I couldn't suss out the nuance there, and my brain hasn't been working right for a while, so, figured I'd ask.
Dude. You know what's uncool? When married bartender posts "The doctor is in" to say that he's at work and the bar is open, and random chick comments, "If you're in, I'm going to need a pelvic exam."
No. You are gross.
Left a good job in city/Working for the man down in New Orleans.
the paperwork for my car has errors. grrrr.
also, reasons people are moving to Texas did not include that they heard I was moving back. Albeit, the piece was really about why people are moving to Austin TX.
Also allowable, Mary Chapin Carpenter's "John Doe No. 24", even though it makes me cry.
Edit: Oh, and "If you go to New Orleans, you oughta go see the Mardi Gras."
