My experience is, you really can't tell them anything, but that's just because they're women.

Good lord, man, such self-deception can't be healthy, physically or psychologically. Let it go.

Now now, Slave is very sensitive.

Personally, I don't think Slave is gay. I think Slave is a woman.

And that's...ok. Cause he's good enough, and smart enough, and doggone it, people like him.

No shit. Women drive me fucking crazy.

Ok someone tell me this. Why is it that some women expect you to read their minds? Oh honey, of course it is ok if you do A, but they don't really want you to do A. Why don't they just say, honey, I would prefer you didn't do A right now.

And why do they ask you trick questions. Of course you look wonderful in that dress dear. What am I gonna say, no you look like a fucking dog. Bark for me baby.

And what is this, do you think the hairdresser cut my hair too short. You say yes, you get in trouble, you say no, she says he did so, what are you blind?

And the talking about the feelings. My GOD do we have to talk about the feelings all the time.

Men were so much easier. I miss men.

It is after all a good way to start a conversation while complimenting the other person's good taste.

It is much harder to tell unless you have a pretty well developed gaydar, and even then, it has gotten a lot harder regardless. It has always been difficult to tell lesbians.

Eye contact and the body language are the way you tell, not through how the person looks.

And, more importantly, the gay guy would already know how to get to the Ram Rod.

Duh.

Funny, but my favorite gay bar name was the White Swallow. That one is followed by a place that was called Sparky's - not because of the name itself. There was construction on the sidewalk in front of the place, so they put a sign on the door that said "Enter in Rear."

Or better yet I love the fatties who say "I pity people like you who deprive themselves of the joy of eating to satisfy some unrealistic attractiveness ideal." No, fatt-ass, its YOU, not me, who is unrealistic. You think cavemen ate cheesecake? You think we're genetically wired to be couch potatoes? You and your rotund friends may appear to be the norm when you waddle about the mall downing chili dogs and Orange Julius' with abandon, but you're not. We're not fucking bears - we don't need to gorge ourselves. take a note, Tubby - you're an alpha predator with no natural enemies - you don't need to eat like the next meal is a rumor.

I have no problem with people who choose to live their lives as fat or as thin as they wish. I don't want anyone else to feel the need to conform to my standard -- because that is my standard for myself.

I am not gifted with naturally thin genes, so I work to stay in the body I want to have. It's not easy, but it is important to me. I don't care what anyone else does, including the OddMan, who eats all the donuts, cookies, and potato chips he wants.

And I say:

Oh the women in my life are just driving me a tad nuts right now.

The eye twitch, you mean the one we get from all the stupid stuff people say to us?

Chicago's best named gay bar has to be the "Manhole". NTTAWWT, either.

I needed some more help to manage things around here, so after some thought, decided Even Odds was the right person to be our newest Admin. I trust her, and I think you all trust her too. She has also done more for this site than anyone but the original three Admins, so I also felt she deserved the position.

I wanted to make you aware of this so (a) you know you can go to her if you need help and (b) that you know that she too is capable of seeing all the things that Slave, MR and I can see.

Thanks for stepping up to the plate E/O, I appreciate it.

Actually, Jimmy Kimmel's wife just filed for divorce, so perhaps she's departing for less-pudgy-and-ill-kempt pastures.

I exercise solely to preclude fatness and early death and do it only to the extent necessary to counteract my pleasurable intake of excellent desserts. Since it's clearly possible to both enjoy food and stay in pretty good shape, despite my natural couch-potato tendencies and lack of time, I have limited patience with the "eat like a pig then be surprised and pissy that I'm obese" thing.

Not to be a timmy, but Jimmy Kimmel has been going through a divorce for awhile. He's dating Sarah Silverman now, who is brrrrrrrrilliant on Crank Yankers.

Speaking of which, I was 3/5 on my American Juniors predictions. I don't think that's acceptable and I'll try to do better next week. I know y'all have come to expect more from the man who called Ruben as the winner at the outset of the Final 12.

There's a chain of gay bars here in Texas called JR's (I think that there's one in DC too). In Dallas, there's a sister bar called Sue Ellen's. My favorite two names of gay bars here in Houston are Ripcord (one of the leather bars), and the Brazos River Bottom (C&W bar). Meteor and Rich's are the gay bars I like the best. I am not as well versed on the lesbian bars around here.

I'm reading a book right now called Folly by Laurie King, and I'm really enjoying it. It's about a woman suffering from clinical depression that, after a series of tragedies and horrors, decides to try to rebuild her life and her sanity by moving to an island in the San Juans and literally rebuilding a burned out shell of a house that was left to her by a long-ago relative.

I am talking late 70s at the youngest.

I searched my memories and I just cannot remember seeing a fat old person. A little pudgy (in my mind) yes. Fat, no.

Harold Bloom. Took a class with him, dated one of his proteges, and I even had tea at his house. I think he's taking his "I am Falstaff" thing a little too far.

(For those of you who weren't English/Lit/Humanities majors, Harold Bloom is the self-proclaimed "foremost literary critic of [his] age," and has lately written IMPORTANT books about The Western Canon, the "J" author of the Bible, originality, and genius).

Hmm. Now you've made me wonder what you all can see. For example, can you see that today, my bra perfectly matches my panties?
