I'm a freelancer.  Tell me where he's wrong.

"Freelancers" who are really just unemployed people trying to cover up unemployment are a relatively small subset of freelancers.  Most freelancers are either making a living at it or working side jobs while holding down a full-time job.

QuoteGUEST: We're interested in 2 tickets to a Broadway show tonight. Either Mamma Mia or Rock of Ages. Which would you recommend?
CONCIERGE: Well, that probably depends on the music you prefer. Rock of Ages is going to be 80s rock like Journey and Styx. They encourage you to be drinking in your seats and raising a lighter in the air. Mamma Mia is, of course, the music of Abba.
GUEST 2: Yeah. We hate Abba.
CONCIERGE: Then you should probably do Rock of Ages.
(Guests fidget uncomfortably.)
GUEST: Well, the problem is that we're Swedish.
GUEST 2: So, we have to see Mamma Mia.
CONCIERGE: Well, if you don't like Abba, I'm not sure you'll like Mamma Mia.
GUEST 2: I just don't think we can go back and tell people we didn't see Mamma Mia on Broadway.
(Guest 1 nods slowly.)
GUEST 1: I guess we'll take 2.
CONCIERGE: There are other shows I can recommend. You don't have to see Mamma Mia.
GUEST 2: Mamma Mia is fine.
(Guest 1 sadly hands me a credit card.)

A very, very bitter freelancer.

I would lance you for free.  On horseback, like the 16th.

Costs money to maintain a horse.

Who said anything about maintaining it?  Just need it once.

Oh, and you went out of your way to fuck with me on that one, Your Royal Cuntiness.

Cruelty to animals, much?

It was my first thought when I read the word free. -_-

I'm wearing my cowboy hat today. Every time I do that, sex happens. I am testing the cowboy hat theory. T-minus five hours.
