  1. I hate political bullshit. Sounds like you've got it handled. If he does it again, just stand up, go right up to him, put a finger in his face and proclaim loudly that no matter what HE thinks, Brenda and Laura are still going to be at the movies on Saturday. Then turn around and pee all over his notes. THAT'll teach em.
  2. Wade's dad isn't the abuser. It's a sibling or family friend. His dad is rabidly antigay, Wade's abuser is in a position to blackmail him with telling Dad? Or dad favors a sibling that abuses Wade, and dad constantly puts this in Wade's face and shames him with it. Wade is complicated.
  3. Bring lutefisk and sake. That'll teach em.
  4. And I don't think using drugs is good: its one more thing your mom has to remember to do, and its nothing but a really short term fix. A drugged cat is really nothing more than a really nice wax applicator for your car. And there is something to be said for little oven mitts although I can't BELIEVE Tomon suggested wrapping your mom in duct tape. Sheesh.
  5. In my opinion, you have two options - put the cat out to a rescue or something and if that's totally unacceptable to your mom get the cat a companion so its focus isn't on her. Cats are social - if there is no other cat or person in the house, your mom is the 'go to' person for everything the cat needs socially. Getting the cat a pal will change that focus. And I'd look at getting the cats claws capped if scratching is an issue.
  6. Went and saw them last year for the first time - a hell of a show. Was this the Christmas show or the Beethoven show? Of course. Trans-Siberian. Try and keep up.
  7. a few WEEKS??? ::thud:: :wacko: I think this the first time I've EVER seen you run a few WEEKS between sequels. I can wait. I'll go read James as he nukes the bejesus out of something else. NO PRESSURE, THOUGH.
  8. BLT, thick cut bacon, homegrown fresh tomaters, fresh crisp lettuce, mayo. nomnomnom Also, Potbellies chicken salad sandwich. Bologna and a slice of veggie-oil cheese on wonder bread, mmm jail food. Peanut butter and jelly. Crunchy peanut butter. Grilled cheese.
  9. Happy b-day, man!
  10. Awesome. I'm interested in your opinion of Ubuntu after you've had some time with it.
  11. You caught me. My real name is Rod Steele, I got some cheap land from the government and now I am retired from my film career. I have a huge cock.
  12. I think maybe you need to look at reinstalling Vista (a repair install, not a full one), then reinstalling GRUB (the linux boot loader). The Vista reinstall will probably break GRUB. Your ubuntu install has probably borked the Vista boot loader, which is why Vista is dying on you. So fix Vista, then fix GRUB. You will need a Vista install disk and to reinstall grub you'll do that by booting Ubunto as a Live CD.
  13. Oh, I think we ALL know YOUR thinking Good story Mark, thanks again for sharing it. Can't wait to see what happens on the Big Frig. I think you should do what's right for the story and yourself and just put Calvert where Calvert belongs. I bet this will have something to do with George's butt. Have you ever noticed that the only thing this little smiley dude here needs is two nekkid dudes, one on each side of him? Just sayin'
  14. Calvert doesn't HAVE to disappear completely. What if Calvert were posted to the Admiralty? Just a thought... I like Calvert but he's always getting splinters and stuff.
  15. I can't speak to the price for Windows 7 because I pay M$ $300 a year and get lots of their software for free. HOWEVER: Microsoft is running this offer for college students - $29.99 a copy for Windows 7. I have no idea how you would qualify but I'm pretty sure that the bar is pretty low. There are international alternatives: UK: http://www.microsoft...er/default.aspx Canada (EN): http://www.windows.ca/studentoffer Canada (FR): http://www.windows.ca/fr/studentoffer France: http://www.windows7pourlesetudiants.fr Germany: http://www.Windows7fuerStudenten.de Australia: http://www.microsoft...nt-upgrade.aspx Mexico: http://www.windows7p...udiantes.com.mx Korea: http://www.microsoft...windows/student That being said, I'm extremely impressed with Windows 7. The taskbar improvements go beyond tweaks - between the taskbar and "Libraries" you truly change the way you access your files. I personally think that aside from internet/email/chat/social apps, document and file management is one of the least taught, least understood and most critical parts of using a computer. Only Mac with Spotlight and the dock, and now win7 with the taskbar, libraries, and built in search, actually make it so you don't have to care where the stuff is actually stored, you just find it when you need it. Driver support and device management is a lot better too. Oh, and Sticky Notes, once I figured out how to change the font. My last experience with Linux was Ubuntu 9.04 in a "Dell netbook" environment, and it sucked so bad I blew it away and put (gag) XP on it just because I know the driver support will be there. Shitty driver support, nonexistent support from Dell, blah blah blah. I know there are good distros out there and I look forward to beating up Ubuntu 9.10 some, but I need a good month just to get over the deep, unabiding resentment towards open source I've been left with. This will fade the next time I have to buy a copy of Orifice for one of my customers and only make 10% on the deal.
  16. I think any time you try to toe the political correctness line, you're going to cross someone else. Its a losing proposition especially when you're not even hitting a hot button like race, sexual orientation or gender. You can refer to your friend any way you want, as long as you aren't doing it to disparage that friend. Aside from that, you can't help what people think, and what other people think shouldn't matter anyway. Especially since making a second hand judgment based on someone's affectionate nickname is a pretty lame thing to do in any case.

    I had a grumpy comment here that I didn't like so I got rid of it.

    Misunderstood

    Please don't leave, I love your sense of humor and your style. I don't say much around here to people personally, but I like you and I'd miss you if you left. If there's one thing I've learned over time, its that you can hardly please anyone in life, so worry about the people that matter - I've also learned I'm the only one that really matters - and screw the rest. Anyone who goes to the effort of actively disliking me is welcome to do so. I'm certainly not going to exert any effort to care about it. Maybe take a week off and chill?
  19. Or you could send her to meet the ship, which is when all the crew would mutiny because you can't have GIRLS on a SHIP, it's bad luck, and then George would have to strap them to the mast and whip them, and... BRB

    Oh was I supposed to be reading something? I was just saying this very thing to a friend of mine. What a coincidence! <clicks play>

    It's a video - . Let me tell you what I know: Its from Germany, the music really rocks, the dancers are awesome, and there is a gratuitous buttock display. Other than that, I got nuthin, except watching this made my abs, arms, legs and back hurt, in a good way.
  22. Note- I am not saying 30 is too old to be hot. I am saying, however, that in Gay BAR World standards, it is Fixed that for you...
  23. Protip: enter site: and the site name in google to restrict a search to that site. site:www.nifty.org "island summer" site:www.gayauthors.org "dangerous liasons" the results aren't well ordered but it's simple enough once you find a chapter of the story you're looking for.
  24. Stick around, Chuck. Wrong foot, start, etc.
  25. I wonder if Calvert can feel the maggots chewing, or hear them munching away... * sprays bug spray everywhere *
