.... I may need to change my answer, then.

I don't know, it doesn't entirely offend me. But then, I also thought "Interior: Leather Bar" made a fairly interesting point, and was a good example of a nested meta-narrative. Though he creeps me out slightly for some reason (#wouldnotcouldnotinaboat), I think he's doing good work as an ally. Kinda like that…

Thanks, this was a really interesting read.

I don't mean this to be in any way insulting, though some guys can be weird about this... Have you considered the possibility that if he's not into other ladies that he's into other gents? There are certainly couples who date, not different people, but the same person. Again, you and your guy may not be into this and…

Well, obviously you couldn't have six children, because six is the number of the beast—duh, that's why it's called a hex. (Please read sarcastically, I don't want anyone legitimately thinking there's some kind of etymological connection there, it's just the way these people think.)

Well, are they identifying as gay? Or queer? Because my understanding of queer as an umbrella term (and let's be honest, it's not like it has a super-well-defined meaning) is that it includes all of those identities that are not the norm but that don't fit the other named identities in our ever-lengthening acronym.

I think I'd describe basil as an aromatic, grassy licorice flavor—which at least would have probably turned that customer off so he'd shut up about it.

Same, huge fan, own most of the albums... and here's where I have a question you really don't have to answer, but I'm curious. As someone who really liked every album I've heard, but certainly in different ways, I'd like to hear which ones you think are spectacularly bad and why? Promise I'm not interested in…

Louisiana. Specifically anywhere other than New Orleans. (I have this on good authority from a number of Mississipian transplants in my town.)

Can I jut say, I know what you meant, but the typo made me think of those little sticks that my cousin used to have that you'd throw in the pool and they'd sink to the bottom but have one end sticking up so you could easily grab them underwater. So I found myself trying to imagine somehow incorporating those into…

I had this exact class, and it was fascinating. One of the choices for supplemental reading was "The Great Mirror of Male Love", a collection from the 14th or 15th century, that was just mind-blowing to read.

You know, I'm surprised at how many people can't tell the difference, but legitimately shocked that no one seems put out by the travesty that is calling a medium pink "Honeysuckle". There is no relation between that color and honeysuckle. NONE. Is there no federal regulating body for color names? I want my tax dollars…

Was interested, but no Kaidan...

Me too. It wasn't originally a sequel to Chrono Trigger, though. IIRC, it was a sequel to a Japanese game called Radical Dreamers or something, that was then altered slightly to fit with Chrono Trigger.

I would be upset by the spoiler, but I had already figured that and assumed it would be revealed if I ever go ahead and finish the game.

I'd say their government infiltration is not nearly as complete as Christianity's, but it's always a problem when religion and politics travel in the same cart.

Church of the Gamine Potato? Seems legit.

I'm sorry, but... No, actually, I'm not sorry. I don't feel like there's any redemption possible for this kid. I actually, legitimately feel like death is too good for this "Brian".

Your taste buds would not get along with mine. I'm exactly the reverse, a hint of cilantro ruins a dish for me. Tastes like earwax and apathy.

It's disingenuous at best, and doesn't bode well for their defense. If they were really interested in using this as an argument, they should just break out the actual statistics: "according to our data, 83% of our reports were of verbal harassment, not sexual assault," or something like that. Since they were only…
