Double Yay to: Apple Levi-Strauss the only two companies to support our cause officially.

Ask anyone here who owns shoes. I control my bowels very well. Until I'm hit with a taser.

I can't read random comments. It's evil.

It's got nothing to do with it. This is an old IPB issue. You MUST disallow guest comments on blogs or you WILL get spammed. A memo was sent Some Time Ago about this as well as posted in the forums I think.

See them? I get pale grey text on a white background. Some stuff has white knockout backgrounds and others appropriate. I probably should have read here first instead of there first :)

BTW, I must assume they spell "Cunt" in Alaska as "Palin" I despise that woman.

Palin breaks with McCain on gay marriage amendment From Associated Press October 20, 2008 4:11 PM EDT NEW YORK - Republican vice presidential nominee Sarah Palin says she supports a constitutional amendment banning gay marriage, a break with John McCain who has said he believes states should be left to define what marriage is. In an interview with Christian Broadcasting Network, the Alaska governor said she had voted in 1998 for a state amendment banning same sex marriage and hoped to see a federal ban on such unions. "I have voted along with the vast majority of Alaskans who had the opportunity to vote to amend our Constitution defining marriage as between one man and one woman. I wish on a federal level that's where we would go. I don't support gay marriage," Palin said. She said she believed traditional marriage is the foundation for strong families. McCain, an Arizona senator, is supporting a ballot initiative in his state this year that would ban gay marriage. But he has consistently and forcefully opposed a federal marriage amendment, saying it would usurp states' authority on such matters. As governor, Palin vetoed a bill that would have denied benefits to the partners of gay state employees. In a debate with Democratic rival Joe Biden, Palin said she was "tolerant" of gays and said she supported certain legal protections for same-sex couples, like hospital visitation rights. In the CBN interview, Palin also said she would speak out if she heard a supporter at a rally yell violent or threatening comments about Barack Obama, the Democratic presidential nominee. "What we have heard through some mainstream media is that folks have hollered out some atrocious and unacceptable things like 'kill him,'" Palin said, referring to a Washington Post story two weeks ago about angry supporters at a Palin rally in Florida. "If I ever were to hear that standing up there at the podium with the mike, I would call them out on that, and I would tell these people, no, that's unacceptable." CBN released excerpts of the interview Monday and planned to broadcast it in its entirety Tuesday. Palin also claimed religion and God had been "mocked" during the campaign, although she offered no evidence to support that. "Faith in God in general has been mocked through this campaign, and that breaks my heart and that is unfair for others who share a faith in God and choose to worship our Lord in whatever private manner that they deem fit," she said. Palin is a conservative Christian who was baptized and grew up attending Pentecostal churches. In September, Obama defended Palin's religious beliefs and said it would be "offensive" to portray her faith as strange or wrong. Palin also reaffirmed her view that Obama had been "palling around with terrorists" because of his association with Bill Ayers, a 1960s-era radical who helped found the violent Weather Underground group to protest the Vietnam war. The group was responsible for bombings of several government buildings. "I would say it again," she said. Ayers and Obama live in the same Chicago neighborhood and have served together on charity boards. Ayers also hosted a house party for Obama when he was first running for the Illinois state Senate.

Thanks for sharing

I'm back to add something else. Dude has been extremely supportive of me -- moreso than usual which is saying a lot. I've made some polite requests* for my last two postings. He didn't ask me why, didn't say no, or do anything. He just complied. I'm weird and he puts up with it. If you want to know why I'm so loyal to him, this is just a small part of it: he gets mentally fucked-up authors like myself. * Demands :)

I'm guilty of using the expression.

He was my first choice for president but he's too smart to run.

I would never have sex with anyone for whom I didn't have a deep emotional attachment. I realize that's a personal post, but my level of caring what people think is shrinking....

Pec I couldn't agree more with your post. Well said. VERY well said.

How you doing, Rick?

You made me laugh. PS: Check your shoes before you put 'em on next time, bud.

Ele, some serious advice, really. The best stories are the ones that have some of you in them. Parts of me are in AWMS, NEAWMS, ADIP, and DOG. Some more than others. It's okay to write yourself or parts thereof. It lends it credibility and believability and nobody will know which parts are you. Then again, if someone criticizes your story, they're criticizing you. (Happily, I much don't give a shit what most other people think so I take it all in stride....)

Too much to comment on or reply to.Condolences on VJ.Obama 08Go Sox. (I hate baseball entirely, but dislike NY teams on principle.)

I really liked you Colin, until you made this post. I think we just became mortal enemies. How fucking DARE you compare Fat Apple's and Fudrucker's in the same sentence. It's not even close: Fat Apple's by a thousand furlongs....

My answer was better.

I bet his petard is bigger than yours. And if he shoved it up your Terpsichore it would probably hurt.

A vulture boards an airplane, carrying two dead raccoons. The Stewardess looks at him and says, I'm sorry, sir, only one carrion allowed per passenger.

Since I never eat there unless I have no choice*, I will gladly join you. * Like stuck behind security at an airport. And a 8 hour flight in my face. And even then after seriously considering....

Then you must love my works. I rarely deliver a happy ending :) Seriously, I will agree with you many-a-time but I think the ending worked here. Sometimes a happy ending is okay*, really. * Hmph.
