Goddamnit I lost an epic post. The crux of it, moniker, was: despite the general intelligence of D&D posters I can't help but feel that ya'll sort of validate the snooty, arrogant, shit-don't-stink attitude, elitist attitude attributed to Dems by Pubs. And of course their characterization of themselves as the opposite- down to earth, reasonable, gleaning knowledge from experience rather than a book, etc.- is equally ridiculous. You can't patronizingly accuse someone of being patronizing- especially while being as exclusionary as they can be. I certainly prefer your views- gay rights, racial tolerance, general civil freedoms, etc.- but when I see the animosity and total disdain for the opposite base displayed here I feel that the actual personality of either party sucks equally.
Does anyone have that picture of the newspaper advertisement of the guy who wants to travel back in time, bring your own guns, you'll get paid when we get back?
You are so broke that other people laugh at your lack of cash. You will wander the streets alone and desolate. You do not have enough money for transit fare or even shoes. You settle down to sit against a cafe fence because the cool bars of the fence surrounding the patio is the only replacement that you can get for the air conditioning you can't afford for an apartment you can't live in. In the corner of your eye you see a young attractive couple finishing their meal. They argue briefly over who should pay, but the young man settles the matter with a decisive "I can afford it, who do you think I am - Cass?" His date's laughter is a tinkling of bells. A bunion on your toe begins to ooze. Even though medical care is free in Canada, you cannot afford the aspirin or the band-aids they will suggest you take.
I was getting lunch today and I passed a dollar store. This was in a strip mall sort of L shaped plaza (with the 'vortex' of the right angle holding a Save-A-Lot). Outside of the Save-A-Lot was a family of about 15... they were maybe Indian or Pakistani. They were pretty much having a picnic right there on the cement pavement, with people walking around them or over their food. They had gallons of soda and huge bags of popcorn.
Also my lunch was take-out from a buffet (where they price by weight). They were just starting to put out the dinner stuff when I served myself. I informed the cashier that I had only selected items from the lunch menu. She said ok and totaled me up, but before I leave she goes

She rifled through my meal for about 15 seconds to verify I wasn't trying to smuggle crab legs out under a bed of rice.
So, I have no idea what there is to do around this town (aside from handful of the dance places), so I decided to take my first date to the library. She seems enthusiastic about the idea.

I wish my cat was one of those cool cats that could figure out how to open doors and turn on tap water.
It sounds cool, but I'm betting I'd get annoyed at some point. Widget loves messing with stuff in the middle of the night when I'm sleeping, so I usually have to close the door to my room so she can't get in and knock stuff off my desk or roll around in a plastic bag or what-have-you. Her having the ability to open my door would be...inconvenient.
Also it would suck to wake up in the morning and find out my tap's been running for hours, since I pay for water here.
No, no, I love my cat just the way she is. A moderately stupid, but completely adorable kitty with a strange affinity for shoes.

Hot.
....Fuck. I wish I knew more than one person. I want to invite someone out to go do something spontaneous tomorrow.
EDIT: Visible your cat looks like my other cat.

No, Elki.
On the bright side, I've found it. I knew I should have searched for the word hyphenated.
Let him put it in de butt?
I am sure that is the dream of every young man
No, piidb.
Why would you include a hyphen in the word "Antirotica?"
What?
The new Clitoral Havoc CD?
Wait, never mind.
I thought you were responsible for the "Anti-Rotica' thread.
I'm sorry.
the "no true scotch man" fallacy.
No, I just won it.
It IS awesome.
I guess we'll just schedule a second trial.
Feel satisfied in the knowledge that you're with someone. You don't want to end up all old and alone like YaALLBORAAAP

That could lead to Princess Peach Syndrome, Feral. Bad idea.

just for us, for PA
As well as a goddamn alternative wiki entry on it.
Short posts. Beginning, middle, end. … Plot. Condense. Tell it.
