Ten Reasons It Would Rule to Date a Unicorn
None of those reasons had anything to do with dating the unicorn.
Top 10 Reasons it Would Rule to Date a Unicorn:
10) Less small talk
9) You know it's not cheating on you, 'cause all it's friends are virgins
8) Requests to ride bareback not automatically rejected
7) Never have to drive
6) You can always get some tail
5) Can't really judge you on... [more]

silver, orange, purple, month
She collected her forty pieces of silver
For selling out a man who would gladly kill her
For a cigarette. Resplendent in convict orange
He spent every waking moment on revenge
Watching soap operas and reading purple
Prose. When he got out she would get her full
Comeuppance. Oh, yes! He knew to the year, month
And day when she would finally have run the
Last desperate step, and snickering in... [more]

Who you calling "self-proclaimed?!"
I will not be so ill-defamed.
I will not tolerate this libel.

"This is why I carry, even in church."
If a man cannot defend himself with just his brain and fists, he ain't no man.
Yeah - the unarmed dead guy who rushed the lunatic bigot shooting up a church. "He ain't no man." Bullshit. Let's revise your statement to reflect the reality on the ground: If a man cannot defend himself [from a gun] with just his brain and fists, he ain't no man [will probably die].

It's Raining Florence Henderson - The guy died a better man than most of us could ever hope to be, that's for sure.
Very true.

I've seen conservatives in the comments sections of bonehead blogs calling for liberals to be placed in concentration camps, deported, and run over with cars and trucks.
I've read similar statements in recent months. It made my blood run cold, partly because in context I'm quite sure they were serious. And partly because other, seemingly more reasonable types, defended them as just "blowing off steam."

I like Coldplay. I think they're overrated, but that doesn't keep me from liking them. I also don't think it would ever have occurred to me to say that they "rock." No. But I like those six or seven songs they keep repeating. Feel free to not like them, loq, but please stay away from my iJunk. (It's all sucked up inside our my iBodyCavity from all that Coldplay, anyway.)

I'm more creeped out by a culture that things old bodies are shameful and should be hidden away.
Yeah - everybody's a precious snowflake. Not wanting to see Great Grandma rock her revealing fetish-wear is shameful!

Beyond the fact she looks a bit confused and reluctant to even be doing this stage show.
Though Rocky Horror in the spandex briefs isn't exactly helping much either. He just needs a bowl cut and a little more tan and he'd be a perfect stand in for that sunless vatgrown sexboi.
These were the things that got me at first, too. First time through, watching on a small monitor with a pretty choppy video feed, Rocky threw me off... [more]

Well, yes. Unless you just object to fetish-wear per se. If your only objection here (as seems to be the case with most of the "ewwwww" posters) is that this is the wrong body to wear such a costume then "shameful" seems a pretty good word.
My objection was to what looked like stunt costuming to me. Or as iamkimiam just put it on preview: "To be honest, when I first saw this video I thought Barbara was only wearing suspenders... [more]

Can't say I enjoyed The Difference Engine. It took too long to build up any momentum, and then it suddenly boiled over before anything much could come of it.

"you have the legs and you have the head"
Who are you to call a sport dominated by swedes for nearly 50 years a "WTF sport"?
It's also the national sport of Parmistan. Although they've recently added swinging around on conveniently placed parallel bars and pommel horses. So now it's more of a Gymkathalon.
