I wish a very happy birthday to one of my favorite authors. Long may your pen shine bright!

>> Homosexuality is in the Genes? Naw... for me, it's in my boxers.

In case you haven't heard the Pentagon had a plan back in the 1990s to create a bomb with chemicals that made people "gay and disinterested" in fighting. Of course this is probably one of the most idiotic plans in history. Anyone who has ever been set upon by an angry lesbian or argued with a gay man knows that gays are never disinterested in fighting. Such a bomb would likely backfire badly as it would create legions of people who are gay & bitchy. I pity the poor marines coming ashore to face that.

Silly kitty! Biting the hand that feeds him, pets him and, takes care of him. I bet I know a silly kitty with an appointment to be neutered. Get well soon Luc and try not to feel too much satisfaction when cat-tas-trophie starts singing soprano. :2hands:

Clumber is coming through loud and clear.

I think I would rather be str8 next time around. Maybe get a taste of life as a non-abomination and be a little less hated.

In the rush to a simple answer for one of life's most complex questions, a journalist becomes a pimp, a child becomes a lab rat and generalizations and stereotypes become the evidentary re-bar upon which preconceived ideas and superstitions solidify. If this article was a joke, it might be funny. Instead it is a serious article so full of blatant ignorance and egregious bovine excreta that it is tragic. Where is the smilie for the rude finger? :rude_finger:

I'm not convinced that its a good idea to futher catagorize gay people. There are already too many divisions: tops, bottoms, daddies, twinks, leather pigs... Maybe we should focus more on what makes us similar than what makes us different.

After an uninspired version of the Fantastic 4, Hollywood is about to spew its vile wretchedness on yet another comic book icon: the Silver Surfer. Even if you aren't a fan of comic books, you can tell a good story from a bad one. A well done movie from a crappy, production done on the cheap. Compair Spiderman to oh say... Steel. Never heard of it? Of course not. You have Post Traumatic Crappy Movie Syndrom and its repressing your memory. In this thread nominate your worst (or favorite) comic book/movie adaptations! ___________________________________________________________ Batman & Robin(1997) was pretty much roach-bait. Clooney & O'Donnell and Schwarzenegger were probably the worst possible picks for those particular roles that could have been found even if you tried. My rating: 4 barf-buckets As bad as it was, remember an old 80's version of the Flash? Oh my God, it was horrible. I tremble at the memory of seeing one of my favorite superheros raped to make a cheaper than average movie of the week. My rating: it made me cry and not in a good way (I was what? 30?) I've always been a fan of the Punisher but the big screen hasn't been kind to Frank Castle. All in all, Punisher(2005) could have been a whole lot worse. It is MUCH better than the two previous pseudo-attempts at making a Punisher movie. That being said, it could have been a whole lot better. John Travolta was awful as Howard Saint portraying a sophisticated sociopathic mob king-pin as a middle-aged Vinny Barberino. My rating: 2 stars and a sigh. It had potential. :sniper:

Advice is what it is: cheap, easy and probably OK given Camy, Conner and Krista are all good blokes (and bloke-ettes). As you get older and into college, you'll come across a method of instruction called the Socratic Method. This is a method of arriving at the truth by asking a few pointed questions. This allows you to arrive at the truth on your own. I ask: if you have what may be a deadly infection do you treat it or let it fester? The answer is obvious.

I liked your first one, it was cute. Think young lion or tiger. Just between us Beasties, primates are soooo annoying.

I like the other one better Beastie. That one looks too much like an annoying 90 year old I have to take care some weekends.

There is a fem vs butch divide and it cuts both ways. I was new in a small southern university town and didn't know anybody. I heard about a gay bar and decided to check it out. No one there knew me and I didn't look like usual clientel. I was refused admission and told by the bouncer to come back when I knew somebody. A big butch jock like yourself makes some of these girls nervous. Bluntness Alert: if you don't want to hear something frank, leave the spoiler alone. You have been warned. Please note that the media only portrays fem guys. Butch roles are few and far between. That's because fems are non-threatening and are easy fodder for stereotypical humor. I'm waiting for a Butch character that demands respect and will plant your ass in traction if he doesn't get it.

OK- now how could you guys forget to mention: L.I.E.

I've had two problems with ebay: people selling pirated software and people selling upgrade editions of software as "full editions". In both cases PayPal refunded my money and the sellers were banned. Otherwise I've had no difficulties and my feedback rating is 100%. Many people talk smack about PayPal but I've had nothing but good experiences with it. Always buy ebay stuff with PayPal. They are closely integrated to ebay and add a layer of online protection to your credit cards. Whenever you buy from an e-bay seller look at three things: his feedback rating, how long he has been on ebay and the amount of feedback received. If a person is an ebay powerseller, he's been around quite a while and ebay is his business. Someone like that probably isn't going to rip you off. If you buy from someone with little or no feedback- an ebay rookie, then you take your chances. Just remember- if it looks too good to be true, it probably isn't. You CAN find some excellent values on ebay- just keep your wits about you and trust your instincts. I especially love ebay for books. You can find all sorts of computer and technical books, which usually cost a pretty penny, for a mere fraction of their list price. I've found books on ebay that you just plain can't find anywhere else. JS

Kindness is one of several behaviors that people often confuse. In its most basic definition, kindness is a tendency toward gentle behavior in dealing with others. People who display this behavior are said to be thoughtful, considerate, warmhearted, agreeable, tolerant and forgiving. Kindness is often mistaken for common courtesy as people that practice one are usually more apt to practice the other. They are not exactly the same but are both rare and exceptional to find. Kindness does NOT automatically equal charity. While a kind person may be chairitable, the definition and motives for chairity can be quite different given the situation. For instance, a person who would never be considered kind may give to chairity for tax purposes, recognition or entirely pragmatic reasons. example: People were surprised to discover that Mr. LeGree, a notorious misanthrope, had donated 100,000 a year to the Beat Cancer Now Foundation for decades. The act only made sense when his papers were published and we find out that his mother died of breast cancer and how deeply it affected him.

I second that. They are cute as two speckled puppies.

I remember seeing a cartoon in an old Penthouse: it had 2 panals panal 1: 18 year old muscle head with the tattoo on chest: STUD panal 2: old, wrinkled 90 year old with teeth in glass beside chair. The tat is faded and wrinkles cause it to read: DUD

Vance- That's not an excuse. It's a reason. Since I can't help in either case, other than to wish you and your feline friend a speedy recovery, I'll just say take care, your friends here at GA will be here when you are ready. James

Nick- With blue eyes like that, I mean like wow. Cooky = Andy? I agree Nate- he is pretty cute. I bet you're even cuter when you smile Andy! OH and isn't Birdie a hunk in the making!?

>>melancholia If melancholia were good for you, there wouldn't be a multi-billion dollar market for anti-depressants.

The guys with guns are usually wrong. So much about our system is back-assward at the moment. Our laws have gone far afield from their original purpose, to protect the public and maintain order. Now they infringe on everyones private lives, constutional liberties that were once sacrosanct now just plain don't exist. I won't tell you NOT to fight this state of affairs. Just pick your battles carefully.

Actually- the Constitution does NOT read that way. You are required to follow any law, local, state or federal, no matter how bogus, until it is overturned by a superior court or appealed by the legislature. You don't have the right to do anything to stop it other than lobby local, state or federal officials or sue and bring the law to court. Even if the law is bad, you do have to follow it or they will send little men with guns to take you away. I do however agree with you on this particular law. It goes too far. The purpose of law is to protect the public and maintain order. It is NOT meant to regulate a fashion trend that some people might find objectionable. If the statute of limitations on baggy britches is the one big problem that lawmakers must address in this town, apparently they don't have a whole lot to do.

Our tomato plants are in full production mode so we've got fresh tomatoes on the counter, in the window, over the sink... I made fresh tomato sauce tonight: man did it smell good. Spaghetti tomorrow. Tonight: home made pizza. Made flower with yeast crust- let it rise for 20 minutes. Toast in oven at 350 for 10 minutes. Fresh tomato sauce, garlic, Italian seasoning. Top with cooked sausage, onions, pepperoni and mozzarella cheese. Stick in the oven at 400 for 10 minutes. Done.

No need to be ashamed. Ben's cute. He just got cooties from hanging with Jennifer Lopez. yeah, there's no bigger turn off than a killing spree
