You are a construction worker on top of a hotel looking incredibly hot in working pants and red safety straps across your chest with no shirt. Definitely something to behold. Just a guy who can really appreciate another guy. —The Big D

Women do it why can’t men.
Keep your thoughts to yourself,unless your ‘coming out’.
point being… why should anyone bother?
who really fucking cares?
I thought this post was really cute–it brought images of the Village People to my mind, but cute none-the-less:P
Boru, you’re right, women often do keep this stuff to themselves. Still, it seemed sweet and giddy (like a schoolgirl)…it made me smile…Hey Zed what’s up–you are usually less cranky and more funny–hope your day is being nice to you…..
usually less cranky? really?
I just really detest the ‘paris hilton’s’ of the world that insist on pointing out things that are ‘hot’. It’s like speaking for the sake of speaking.
If I think so, then fine, but then I ALREADY KNOW.
it really doesn’t need to be said.
it’s just so over-used it really holds no meaning anymore.
unless you’re talking about things like food or the weather… don’t use the word hot.
it’s like nails on my chalkboard.
Yeah man, really, less cranky…usually;) Maybe it’s just that most of your comments are more sardonic than this one….but I get you though, I really effing hate the PH contingent too…I love that Pink tune “Stupid Girls”…you might enjoy listening to some Frank Zappa, especially “Ship Arriving Too Late to Save a Drowning Witch” (1981, i think)…the song from that album that got a lot of radio play was ‘Valley Girl’. The tune tears up the plastic culture, and Frank’s daughter, Moon Unit Zappa, performs with him on it (sings, possibly plays keyboards too, not sure)…Frank Zappa just seems like your kinda dude, dude:)….getting back to the post, it seemed to me like a guy yelling joyously, “I am gay, hear me roar!!!”…like I said, it has ‘Village People’ written all over it; but perhaps it was more metro, in which case I wholeheartedly agree…and yeah, “hot” = food or weather, you get no argument from me there. Future linguistic historians, I am sure, will liken our (i.e. the Royal ‘our’) use of the word “hot” to our ancestral caveman’s grunt;)
sardonic… good word.
I don’t think I’ve heard any Frank Zappa before…
I guess I’ll TOTALLY try to be more sarcastic in the future….
(now was that sarcastic or altruistic …you’ll have to wait and see)
zZz
I don’t get “A hot mess”.
That one fucking bugs me.
I get the feeling that D doesn’t stand for Dallas.
…I prefer a sardonic wit to the base nature of sarcasm–like the word “hot”, sarcasm (the act of) is way too overused and can often come off as bad slapstick…a poor excuse for humor…Zed, you are more often sardonic, in my opinion….and you seem like you’d be able to appreciate Zappa (not everyone can)…check some of his old stuff from when he played with the Mothers of Invention…
funny troodon…heh heh heh 😀
I think I recognize that sailboat…
isn’t it sitting at the bottom of the harbor?
you’d better hope the popo’s don’t summon your email from the coast.
on a completely and entirely unrelated note…
I hear Mexico’s nice this time of year.
Inside joke?
Shesang has a sailboat in her avatar.
One of the recent bitches was about a sailboat at the bottom of the Arm.

Every time I see Shesang I think of this tongue-twister.

I think I’m too drunk to think right now.lolol
I know I know as if that makes A diff.
Thanks
hey all–I am happy to say that neither me nor my avatar are ‘Sad Sailboat’….my avatar is a sailboat in the harbour (coming out soon, to be put to her winter’s bed)…she is called ‘Windekilde’, and she was built by my friend…the popos would be a very sorry lot if they tried to say ‘Windekilde’ was ‘Sad Sailboat’…
and, while I don’t sell sea shells down by the sea shore I’m sure…that actually sounds like an almost-dream-job, but for the lack of dependable pay….ah the sea shore, or shall I say ‘The Idea of Order at [the Sea Shore]’… 🙂
Have a great week end everyone…and no inherent self-loathing for at least a few days, Zed;)
