A ghost? What's the deal? Is every frat on this campus haunted? And if so, why do people keep coming to these parties, cause it's not the snacks.

Our wings are not tired.

Quick question: does anyone have the link to the fantastic super duper awesome eyeglass store on teh interwebs? I am pretty sure I learned about it here, but a search yielded nuttin.

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

Who is he looking to be equal to?

He wants to have equal feeeelings.

Okay, that's being harsh. It's pretty damned easy to be seen as feminised in American society. But for some reason he doesn't want to associate with any established definition of feminism because they don't fully address men striving for what society says is forbidden them.

Most simply put, I don't see why he can't be feminist plus, but there is an upper limit on the amount of times I can say "Gender equality, dude." And since he won't look it up, I bow out with the wikipedia link.

Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I'm not sure what it says that my reaction is "WHITE MALE PRIVILEGE - UR DOING IT WRONG".

Probably that you're doing it right. But he got *so* many women reassuring him of his sensitivity, that maybe he was doing it right...

I'm trying to book tickets to go home--does American suck? I can't remember who I flew to New Orleans and hated.

You're welcome, java. Though, IIRC, Kat was the one who turned us all on to Zenni for cheap funky glasses originally.

American sucks, but the suckage is generally of the infuriating delayed/overbooked/lost luggage variety rather than the worrying switch-planes-due-to-mechanical-problems suckage you get with AirTran.

American looks like the only choice that has a less than six hour overnight in Florida. I'm so pissed there are no longer direct flights from LA to Kingston.

I'm not a fan. I'd rather fly United or Continental, and I've got status on Delta, but I don't think Delta has a strong presence in the Caribbean.
