    I dunno, to play the devil’s advocate and not to get into a big thing here, I think calling something “gay” or “retarded” in a derogatory manner is a little bit offensive. I don’t want to argue it, and PP, you know I don’t find you offensive; I think your candor is refreshing. But, I can certainly sympathize with people taking exception to the words in that connotation. Especially homosexuals with Trisomy 21.

    Queer is the term preferred by academics and gay is derogatory when used by a non-gay. Rappers can say that word but you’d better not. This blog doesn’t worry about offending people in race, intellect, orientation, disability or other things. Rarely does anyone object. I don’t want to cramp anyone’s style because I don’t belong here. That’s clear. I heard this blog is funny.

    …going off on my own little tangent here….

    Just had lunch (and beer) post kickball at Boylan Heights. The food was good, not great, but the prices were enough to make me only go there when I’m not hungry. This isn’t a slam on Chad or his picking the place for the post kickball hang out. But the two for one wings special came out to $7 for 10 wings. I can’t imagine paying $7 for only 5 wings. Who pays more than $1 per wing? The burgers are $7.50 without anything else (fries, slaw, etc. Adding regular fries and a soft drink bumps it up by $4) and the wedge salad (quarter of a head of iceberg lettuce and a few toppings) for $6?

    That is wack.

    BP, would’ve if my mind hadn’t shorted out (no pun intended) on remembering that Short Pump is near Richmond. I’m firmly entrenched in the Cville area, both work and home, so it wouldn’t make sense.

    Sometimes, I’ll save my errands (groceries, neccessities, gas, etc.) for heading over the mountain to Waynesboro or Staunton, even. Gas is easily 30 cents cheaper at times, not to mention the cheaper groceries, etc.

    I’d rather spend 30 minutes on the interstate (or 250) than 20-30 minutes in traffic here to head uptown.

    Following the problems in the sub-prime lending market in America and
    the banking problems in the UK, uncertainty has now hit Japan.

    In the last 7 days Origami Bank has folded, Sumo Bank has gone belly up
    and Bonsai Bank announced plans to cut some of its branches.

    Yesterday, it was announced that Karaoke Bank is up for sale and will
    likely go for a song while today shares in Kamikaze Bank were suspended
    after they nose-dived.

    While Samurai Bank are soldiering on following sharp cutbacks, Ninja
    Bank are reported to have taken a hit, but they remain in the black.

    Furthermore, 500 staff at Karate Bank got the chop and analysts report
    that there is something fishy going on at Sushi Bank where it is feared
    that staff may get a raw deal.

    Anyone know if you have to get a permit to play these days (like a vendor permit or something?) like in other cities, or if it’s still same-old Cville where you can just hit people up for change any-ole-time you feel like it, performing or just annoying (or in my case both).

    How is that campaign for edible-ornamental vegetation around the City going, anyhow?

    There were nice herbs in the ovoid planters on the Mall for a while, but I haven’t seen any other initiatives followed-through. The planters around Miller’s look promising for those upside-down cherry-tomato dinguses. If we lobby REALLY HARD do you think City Council would let us start a Cranberry Bog in Central Place Fountain?

    Shame nobody else is out here… i think we could really run with this:

    1. the new Great-Halsey-Hotel will be blocked-off with chainlink fence for two years’ construction–what about keeping a few thousand turkeys in there?
    2. the Pavilion won’t be used until late Spring–we could get a decent herd of those miniaturized dairy cows to graze there.

    TOPIC CHANGE! (Temporary, if you can indulge me…)

    This may be my inherent small-town girl naivete, but do I have anything to worry about the taxi drivers in this town? Some asshole (which a lot of people do this to me) honked his horn while I was still checking my blind spots before pulling out into traffic. It was just enough, on top of everything else today, that I threw my hand out the window (that’s making me laugh) and gestured at him. Not a full-on gesture, but just a gesture of disgust. He saw me park on the side of the street where I’ll be parked the rest of the night.

    I’m just so wary of people in this town. Plus, if anything would happen, it would happen to me. I’m the red-headed step child of Murphy’s Law. I just didn’t know if crazy things like that happen around here…
    Vengence seeking taxi drivers and all that….

    you’d think then panthers would eat cuddly filling manatees instead of low-calorie otters.

    were i to specify SEA-otter, there’d be nary a panther in sight. Otters will waddle humourously on land, but their webbed feet make it uncomfortable and imprudent. they rarely climb trees, where panthers snack on cuddly koalas and sloths no doubt by proximate convenince and preference. also, otter food-sources are all or mostly marine/aquatic?

  149. 07 Oct 2008 at 2:27 pm

    Dear Floozy,

    Repressing urges such as these has been known to lead to much worse symptoms, such as spontaneous combustion or finding sexual interest in cars. Contrary to popular belief, indulging in your violent actions will turn a benefit. Examples include an increased sense of well-being, a boost in popularity, unlimited access to vending machines, and strong, healthy nails. In some cases, you may also find you achieve enlightenment – that, or find a twenty on the ground. Same difference.

And to play air bass, you put one hand up and with the other you “strum your balls” and he walks around the stage going, “Strummin my balls, strumming my balls” and it looks EXACTLY like he’s playing bass.

    pickled or creamed, yes. fermented is what the vikings ate:
    “Surströmming (“soured herring”) is a northern delicacy consisting of fermented Baltic herring .”

    and:
    “In 795 the first Vikings landed on the Irish shores attacking the Irish monastery in Rathlin Island located near County Antrim. Attacks on Ireland remained very few over the next 30 – 40 years with attacks taking place approximately once a year. It is known the Irish resisted these attacks and in 811 the Ulaidh slaughtered the Vikings attempting to raid Ulster.”

    i couldn’t find confirmation of pudgy vikings in horned helmets force-feeding herring to peaceful irish monks.

Hell it had a Dave Matthews Band column! (or was that the Hook?) Natalie Fairfax’s summer stint as a cartoonist was surprisingly interesting, on the other hand.

    and, damnation, I’m alone again. I just want to say to all those oh-so-intellegent and snarky singles with no kids out there young folk, commenting late into the wee hours is damn hard. Yes, I’m fueled, but when you’re as old as I am, i hope you have something else to live for, cause this ain’t easy folks…OD, I know you left early, but I miss you nonetheless.

    OMFG LMAO…Shen…care to comment on 274? It’s too early for popcorn, but I’ll snuggle down here on the cVillain couch and nibble on this old poptart that I found stuck down the back of the cushions….waiting….

    Easy, friends… i think everyone was joking around there… my fault BP for staring it.

    Sorry i rang out before i could pour oil on the water. The little foxes. ‘Only God and Browning know what Browning was talking about’ (provenance on that one? Auden?). Delighted people still study verse; do you know me, T?

    /Was a breathtaking moon and wish i’d been on the X patio to watch it, instead of in my rural compound.
    /Someone told me that the So.Station Combat Zone is now all pretty and safe and full of muffin-shops?

    @290: Sorry you had to bear the brunt of Mom’s anger. She’s a good-looking woman, genuine and affable, ‘cept when she hits the sauce. It makes her bitter and mean. Try not to take her remarks personally; they are pretty brilliant in their acerbity.

    You cut me to the quick dear lady, with your trucker’s mouth and extensive palate of urbane zingers.
    I can only hope you are not the finest example of southern spinster this blog has to offer.

    Trucker’s mouth? Oh no. I totally Listerine it up after leaving the Truck Stop parking lot.

    Psst, Flooze, he’s asking for a fine Southern spinster! Where are you?

    If you are a married woman, I apologize. It’s just from what I had read here that seemed so unlikely.

    It’s none of your beeswax. But I’m definitely not a southern spinster and don’t know any. Your perceptions of what our city’s womenfolk must be like are hackneyed. But no matter, welcome to the Dome. We’ve got some Andy Capp© Hot Fries and Country Club malt liquor on the table by the door.

    what?what?….oh sorry Shen… I was round the back of the Kmart dumpster giving your ex BF his first ever BJ…. never seen a grown man cry like that before… touching, very touching.

    Yeah, he’s sweet and deserved it. I never wanted to get the Herp though. I bet you could run into K-Mart and grab some Valtrex and Abreva before you head back to the office.

    @ Manchen just read #306 hahaha… so am I married or sitting on a dusty shelf, passed over yet agin with just my shrivelled ovaries for company?

    @310: Before mc and Tuffy freak out, let me clarify that the Herpes-ridden BJ ex Floozy and I are referring to is a fictional character and has no connection with real ex bf’s that are your friend.

    true… it was my first fictional BJ and I thought it went reasonably well, all things considered.
