A thought- why is it childish homophobia always takes the form of "Oh! He's gay! Backs against the wall everyone or he'll try and bum you!".
Surely that he would want to take it himself would be the more damningly 'he is not like us and thus must be hated' approach to take? :hmm:

Like I would ever let what you are suggesting, happen. :rolleyes:

We went for a walk tonight in the neighborhood. We took some lightsabers. My wife seems to enjoy making a spectacle for the passers-by. Maybe I do too. When we light them up, the drivers slow down. When we begin dueling, everyone stops to watch. I always let her kill me. She's always the red-bladed sith.   :)

Too old, too middle class, to let people buy you dinner any more?  :hmm:

Is that what Malthus hid under his bed when he was 12?

I'm impressed - you remembered my birthdate!  :lol:

You and saskganesh and Grallon are all peas in a '67 pod, ain't you?  PeeDee's a '66er; I know we had Camper representing '64, and I think mongers is as well; and Yi from '63.  The mid-60's birthed a lot of solid posters, I'd say. :)  And then we jump a couple of years to the big wave of posters born in the early-to-mid 70s, probably the definitive age cohort for the site.  A light sprinkling through the late 70s but then another concentration in the early-mid 80s, I think.  Without Pirate Scum, I don't see the late 50s too well represented anymore besides grumbler; and we've all got to pay tribute to the active member who, the metaphysical grumbler aside, is truly our eldest -- KRonn, whose birth in '52 actually managed to get him conscripted during the Vietnam-era draft.
