Yet again, back to the Brokeback Mountain fantasy thing.

I just finished saying "about."

I hear you, but, despite his contributions, he seemed to have burnt a number of bridges along the way, and you have to expect those affected to voice ...

Today being Canada Day, I've been saying a-boat instead of about. I'll go back to normal tomorrow.

To add some context, it was not the result of an isolated comment, but it was cumulative, with efforts made to avoid this result. But, most recently, ...

I have 3 dogs, a cat, 8 chickens, 4 goats, 2 kids, and a wife. I don't call any of them pigs, but to each his own.

Have I won yet?

I'd name that dog Snowball. Maybe SnowballRob would be better.

It's like AGT without Simon Cowell.

Sounds like something someone who's expecting to lose would say.

Maybe a better way is that we should pit each story against each other story in a round robin competition, voting on which one wins in each mono a mon...

Your post isn't based upon empirical fact, but it is a speculative etiological myth, written to provide you a better understanding of your world. You ...

Yes, that is reasonable. The only way we arrive at these unspoken rules (like the right to have an abortion) is through a biblical sort of sensus plen...

You're not attacking SCOTUS specifically, but Anglo rules of construction generally, calling all who inherited the great traditions of the Kings and Q...

An unfortunate reality: 1. Abortion ought be afforded to those women who choose it in certain circumstances. 2. The US Constitution doesn't speak to t...

There's a pretty good chance that the Netherlands doesn't survive the implosion.

I'd argue the shitstorm began when Roe was decided. It began a 50 year battle from the right to change it, resulting in a more conservative court than...

I don't agree with the basic nonsense of your post, but Jews do have a disproportionately low rate of alcoholism. https://www.verywellmind.com/rare-ge...

Beautiful prose describing the plight of the rebellious asshole only to be eventually suppressed by the man. Fuck the man. That's what beatniks say.
June 22, 2022 at 15:35
My problem with it is that it almost seems too easy, talking about talking out your asshole. He doesn't specifically refer to anyone (at least in the ...

Maybe I could do this with my entire life and speculate how it all fits together.

Speaking of South Park, you'll recall the Canadians are all portrayed with lower jaws that don't attach to the rest of their face. I suspect that is b...

Sure, and the same can be said of Gibbernagook, a similarly mystical nowhere filled with nothing other than negations. Gibbernagook is overflowing wit...

I think for some, drugs provide enlightenment. For most, just temporary escape. For a select few, devastation. For me, sleep.

Bold predictions. I'm predicting the Dems take a beating in the mid-terms and a Republican wins the next Presidency.
