I have to say in h-town's defense, that unsolicited, unexpected physical contact is really not fucking OK and it sounds like he dealt really politely with her trespasses, even more politely than I dealt with Mr. Earfinger, right up to the end.

The principal tried to call me in response to my email today.

I know this game. I will have none of it. I will call tomorrow evening thanking him for trying to reply by phone, but that since I have a day job email is much easier for me, or perhaps he'd like to arrange a meeting with the child's father and I, by which time surely he will have had enough time to print us a copy of the policy.

do you have full gas mask you could don?

I don't have one but I can borrow one from b.

Some people might wonder why you ask...

i don't know.
but i do know that i've got half a dozen tecates under my belt and i just bought a gasmask online for myself.
gasmasks are sweet.

Gasmasks are pretty fucking awesome.

For some reason, while reading this thread I replaced Flounce with Rape and Flouncing with Murder.

Wow

I kinda want to re-read it that way now.

[an asshole move]

Why would him acting like an asshole blow her mind?

My prude meter is flying off the chart.

I'm not sure you know how funny that is.


Anyway, girl tries to bum a cig off you, which you go along with.  Girl continues to flirt re: hat, which you also go along with.  Girl more or less gives off every indication that she'll fuck you if you sing with her.  You counter by referencing a DC hardcore band from thirty years ago that only a handful of bitter aging punks still remember.  Then, instead of educating her when she doesn't know what you're talking about, you tell her to fuck off.

While that is extrememly punk of you, it's still kind of an asshole move.

Isn't that what punk rock is?

It's possible that  caring about other people's facial expressions on the bus may be a sign of "I wish I had your problems" syndrome.

It makes me think of Nellie Olson.

man, i gotta check out the malls in the NW....


they sell nixon masks and vac-u-locs at your bath and body works?!

Yes, as well as Bunny & Tigra blow-up-dolls.

Thanks!

See, now, I'm not a BDSM scenester. I just kind of miss the days of spectacle, when dirt was still dirty and you couldn't have your every fetish need met at the mall in the store between Hot Topic and Bath & Bodyworks. It's like people don't even have to TRY, any more.

And of course, the punchline is that I stayed in, like the old lady I am.

But it's not really about age; one of the things about the GLBT scene, if there really can be said to be one, is that it's very age-inclusive and fat old bitches party just as hard as the tight little twentysomethings.

I know guys who dig that.

Ask whoever named Portland, Maine. That's what Portland Jr. is named after. It was decided by coin toss:

It all began in 1843 when Tennessee drifter William Overton and Massachusetts lawyer Asa Lovejoy beached their canoe on the banks of the Willamette River. Overcome by the beauty of the area, Overton saw great potential for this mountain-ringed, timber-rich land. His only problem was that he lacked the 25 cents needed to file a land claim. So, he struck a bargain with Lovejoy: In return for a quarter, Overton would share his claim to the 640-acre site known as "The Clearing."

Soon bored with clearing trees and building roads, Overton drifted on, selling his half of the claim to Francis W. Pettygrove. The new partners, Lovejoy and Pettygrove, however, couldn't decide on a name for their budding township. Lovejoy was determined to name the site after his hometown of Boston, while Pettygrove was equally adamant about his native Portland, Maine. They decided to flip a coin, now known as the "Portland Penny," to settle the argument. Pettygrove won on two tosses out of three.

You are not a girl. Which I think we are all very grateful for, because, no offense, you would be the ugliest girl EVER.

so you just have a crazy black man in your head telling you what to do?

Now, that would be interesting, and far more inventive than the stuff we usually get around here.

I take after my dad, which means I build muscle mass shockingly fast. I'm really glad I didn't get the body hair to go with it!
