Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

That red suit is cool. But I need new swimsuits like I need a hole in the head. I have a bit of a problem there.

The status is NOT quo.

Actually, GC, I'd love morale support. Are you free tonight?

this particular flamewar

I'd assumed this was an organic shaving/waxing/cultural norms conversation. What was the original context? Sure, I could hit "Previous" a bunch of times to find out, but hello -- LAZY.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

'T'wasn't here, but over on Salon. I don't even quite remember what started it -- possibly a letter to Cary Tennis about hairy armpits, but I may be misremembering -- but it very, very quickly degenerated into hysterical howler monkeys on both sides gibbering and flinging poo. I do recall that whoever wrote whatever article was the catalyst for the whole thing eventually went back to look at the letters column out of idle curiosity, and then backed away saying, "Huh. So this is where the craxy lives."

This is where you get to test the system to see if swearing at it gets you a person!

This week is tough, but I am off on Friday if you want to hit the Fashion Square (or someplace else)...

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.

That Qwik-E Mart is MY everyday 7-11! With the Sikh guy who sells me my Diet Dr. Pepper right there in the pictures! Cool. I will stop there tromorrow on my way to work.

ita, that red suit is smoking. Only thing I noticed after posting it is that they recommend it for the small-busted. Counts me right out.
