I never gained weight from it. Also, feel free to skip my longass comment (shorter me: I totally loved Effexor after I got a scrip in the 90s).

I once knew a dude whom everyone called 'Double Dick'. If he's alive, he's probably about 75 now. Yes, he was called that for valid reasons or so others told me.

Thank you! As a rather judgmental person, I'm totally w/you on everything you wrote. :-)

Needs more stars. Many, many more. :-)

She must be really strong or tall/big (or both), cause 40 lbs of tit would tilt me over. I mean, no way could I have the excellent posture* I've maintained if I had even half of that weight on my chest. Or one tit. Shit, never mind.

NO NO NO NO NO! oh dear lord, I am SO scarred Somehow I feel inadequate. :-(

Fucking brilliance. :-)

When I was 13 or so, my ex and I worked for a friend's father's tawdry, 2nd-rate carnival one summer. I'd spin around on one of those revolving wheels whilst BF threw knives at me. We had practised about six hours a day for almost a year before we got up the nerve to show anybody. That was the day our seamstress…

I guess my friend lied. Thanks, Delirium septembergrrl.

This is why most folks call what the TSA does "Security Theater".

I totally agree. About this:

I used to worship NG (late 80s/Black Orchid to mid-90s/end of Sandman). At the time, I was friends w/a few comicbook shop owners and one told me he/NG was cheating on his wife (this was in 1999). I kept it to myself but mentioned it a few years later (on my blog) when I illustrated a point about something else.

Back in 1980, two tin cans served the same e-meter 'purpose' as this expensive shit when I blithely bullshitted the New London org and asserted I was clear so they'd quit harrassing me. And they did, after making me write a glowing testimonial (which stayed on their books after I took off to NYC a few weeks later).

Thanks for reminding me: 'Pale Fire' is one of my favourite books thanks to all the wordplay and its amazing structure. :-)

I guess I'm primitive then.

I don't care if she walks out rocking a purple mohawk with extensions down to her ankles.

Oh, how I love your hair! I know others said it before, but I wanted to chime in as well. :-)

In before people scream, 'It's not a democracy — it's a republic!'

I love this! Thank you.

Big thanks for posting that iconic photo and your brilliant caption. I saw that happen on TV and was so damn proud they used the Olympics as their platform.
