May have been the losing side. Still not convinced it was the wrong one.

F2F 2: Is there anybody here that hasn't slept together?  

Plan what to do, what to wear (you can never go wrong with a corset), and get ready for the next BuffistaCon: New Orleans! May 20-22, 2005!

Cereal because 9 is my favorite number and this is the 900th post and that makes me very happy.

See you all soon!

A turkey in every toilet -- only in America!

Heyyy! I bought my plane ticket. I'm getting into BWI on Friday at 2:30pm. Will anyone be around to pick me up? I'm happy to take the train if need be.

move out and draw fire

You know, I hate to mention this, but the 17-year cicadas are scheduled to show up in DC mid-to-late May. Billions of cicadas. On everything.

Huh, "17-year Cicadas" might be a good name for a band.

Suddenly, the insect zoo looks a little bit less appealing.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I'm envisioning Billytea stooping down to look at an interesting specimen and then standing up covered in them head-to-toe like those beekeeper photos.

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

Five bucks for the first person who gets "Hott NUDE 17 Year Cicadas! IlleGal in 26 States!" spam.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Suddenly, the insect zoo looks a little bit less appealing.

I would've said it looks a little bit less avoidable.

Look at it this way: at least at the insect zoo you'll have a bit of variety.

S to the A -- using they/them pronouns!

There's a big Value Village out in College Park that I find some decent stuff

I've been there. It's nice.

SA, do you already have travel plans? Steph is flying right? I'd like to drive, but I can't justify driving that far by myself. Want/need a lift, SA? What about any other Midwest types? I'll be traveling from southern Indiana - if someone wants to meet in Columbus, IN, or anywhere along the route, I'd love to form a Fun Van!

Dude! That would be great. I was going to greyhound, but that might work out better. I'd just have to figure out how to get to Indiana. E me, please? Profile addy's good, but I won't be able to get to it until Sunday.

I'm most likely not going to the zoo, as I sincerely am unnerved by them. But I call dibs (with others, of course) on Time With Deb at some shiny arty cafe or somesuch.

It really doesn't matter. It's just an opinion. Don't worry about it. Not worth the hassle.

I'm all about the shiny arty cafe, come Saturday morning. Lead me to it.

And Jess, I am indeed staying with you in NY, if that's still OK - rather to my relief (the only high-rise in which I can stay without getting creeps is the Bellagio in Vegas, for some damned reason), my daughter's plans to get me into Fubu's suite at Trump Tower came to naught. Sweet of her to think of it, though - but I'd much rather stay with you. And we can cook! Pasta y fagioli!

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Deb, I am looking forward to it immensely! We should coordinate train schedules at some point.
