I was thinking the same thing. This site really could use him, though I get they can't cut someone to replace him. Well, and he lives in Atlanta now and says he's happy there. As a native southerner, I call bull sh!t.

I'll bite. Limp Bizkit

So that's what's up with all the Trump 2020 bumper stickers I keep seeing! They're trying to cause me to have an aneurysm!

That was fascinating, Arundel!

They should have had an HMS Incontinentia Buttocks

I'm glad I'm not the only one who doesn't like that. It feels like everyone else watched a different, better movie.

It's a good movie and fun to watch as best I remember. Plus, you get to see the scene where he walks into a classroom wearing a duster and shoots it up, pre-Columbine.

Or don't. I'm a Leo completist and I wish I'd not watched that movie.

Well yes, but he was getting the bj, not giving it, so it's not really gay.

Do you mean you met ladies who were into all kinds of kink when you were single? Let me clarify one thing about this. It is a hard thing to bring up because the pain is serious. It's not really a causal-sex-type activity, and the person who will be using the fist has to know what he's doing. It requires a great deal…

Real, actual lady who likes the activity in question right here. I have never spoken to anyone IRL about it, except for my husband. It's a hard thing to talk about, because you don't want to deal with someone being put off by what you're talking about. Plus, as I presume you know, there are all kinds of taboos…

I'm so sorry about the situation with your parents. I've never had two in ill health at the same time, and even one doing poorly is quite taxing. I hope things can get better for you and quickly!

I thought I would have the opportunity to do that back in 2015 when I made a trip back to Oklahoma where I'd lived as a child. Then I found the lady I wanted to speak to had passed away just six months before. The regret of not being able to tell her what she meant to me is very real.

Thanks for that info. My tolerance for that it's indeed not very high.

I learned that he was a person who existed, was attractive, from when he was doing press for Romeo + Juliet. I did not actually see him I anything before Titanic. I don't remember any of his movies being that popular prior to that. Then again, I don't remember R+J being all that popular either.

Your comment makes it sound like I should check Broom of the System out!

Thank you for pointing out the performative nature of DFW's social consciousness. I didn't "discover" him until after he was gone, and have always been uncomfortable with that aspect of his writing. With that said, and keeping in mind that I love Updike, have you tried to read Memories of the Ford Administration ?…

The AVC tricked me into reading that as well!

We had to listen to that song in history class once, because it was "so important".

They broke the same ankle, within about a month of each other (the one who got injured first had a more severe injury), and so they really were quite a pair. One of them was my roommate, who fell because she had an accident with my cat and some stairs, so her injury was clearly my fault (sorry about that Ashley).…
