We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Annalee just told me she's talking to Fast Eddie about the points that I and others have raised.

Oh, boy. Curiouser and curiouser.

Damn people, my best friend got me sick on gin literally 20 years ago (egad!), and I still can't drink it. Don't even like to smell it.

we share more than a name, I have a similar story. For many years, just the smell made me gag. I still don't like it, but I can stand it.

Baltimore/DC people how has the snow been this time?

The view outside my window. [link] . Hopefully, you can see the rampant sunshine! According to iAnto, it's 40 degrees.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

tommyrot for the thread naming win.

I found Gus' posting style personally off-putting (commenting about people and things people had done rather than actually talking to anyone), but he didn't raise my hackles the way Schmoker did when he appeared. I did wonder about some of his stories about himself, though.

And there was that whole business about how no one should ever get a mortgage that DID annoy me.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

A similar thing happened to me with rum. Pity--I understand there are a number of delicious rum-based drinks out there.
