Election night, 2012 maybe? Diane Sawyer sounded very drunk (maybe she was just very, very, tired). Some comic a few days later pointed it out: "The early polls are in, and the winner is...Chardonnay!"

I'm very rarely caught without a book. There are usually a couple somewhere in my car. I'm supporting my local library with overdue fines, and I don't mind at all.

Google Image Search occasionally comes up with a search term that makes me laugh... "Possible related search: low hangers"

it's not his most famous work (I'd guess "Ender's Game" has to be considered that) but this book hit a lot of my buttons - time travel, historical fiction, the theme of redemption. It's about researchers in the future meddling with the circumstances of Columbus's first trip to America. Card's shown himself to be quite the homophobe, and a remark he made about making Ender's Game into a movie, and the problem of finding enough talented child actors might be over because of Jake Lloyd's performance in "The Phantom Menace" (really?) has always puzzled me (especially since "The Sixth Sense" with Haley Joel Osment came out the same year).

I have a hard time watching Rachel McAdams and Diane Keaton after they were so mean to Sarah Jessica Parker in "The Family Stone". On a similar note, I know people who have different reactions to Jewel Staite depending on whether they saw her first in "Wonderfalls", or "Firefly". I guess her character (the ex of the lead's romantic interest) was a real bitch in Wonderfalls, but how could anyone dislike Kaylee Frye?

I masseur I used to see had a jar of Elbow Grease lube on the table in the massage room. We never went beyond a happy ending but I wondered about other clients.

I watched the movie "The Opposite of Sex" solely based on reading the "Quotes" section on imdb.com. Still one of my favorite movies. https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0120777/quotes

To cross over into the Memorable Quotes thread, from "Serenity"..."Hell, I'm a fan of all seven. But right now, I'm gonna have to go with Wrath".

An old friend & I went to see the movie "Milk", talking about it afterwards she said she'd had no idea gays faced such discrimination.

Yup, I've seen that fairly frequently when doing a phone number search. Draw your own conclusions.

There was a place like that in Vancouver, about 15 years ago. I think it was called the Blue Lagoon.

Mine too, actually :-)

he's quite furry now, not sure if that changes your opinion.

Is the trend of people who know nothing about a topic speaking at length about it new, or am I just noticing it more these days? If anything defines my work life these days, that's it.

Huh. Mom had just turned 27 when she had me. I'm the only boy. Although I have a feeling that she had several miscarriages, maybe there was a boy miscarried before I was born?

There's a co-worker who's consistently breaking the unwritten "don't cook fish in the office kitchen microwave" rule :-)

One gay sister, two straight sisters. No idea on my cousins, I haven't seen much of them since my mid-teens. Three nephews and two nieces (one adopted), all straight so far.

I wonder to this day if my Dad blames my Mom. I had two sisters, Mom was a Girl Scout troop leader, and would take me to the meetings. I still remember them calling the meetings to order..."Girls! Girls! and one boy." My very-traditional grandfather was very big on carrying on the family name, and since I was the only son of his only son (and I'm pretty sure the grandfather was an only son too), he was always questioning me about my "love life" whenever he visited. Never asked about my sisters, which bugged them. He died shortly after I came out to my parents; another thing I wonder about is if Dad told him, and it killed him.

My paternal grandmother was a pretty vicious person. Always making subtle digs at my mother, and some of the stories my father told about growing up were pretty scary. She stayed with us for a week or so when I was 10 or 11, while my mother was in the hospital, and we experienced some of it first-hand. Big stuff and little - hitting my two-year-old sister with a shoe because she answered the phone. Watching Psycho with her on TV, and in the shower scene, she says "you know that's really that Norman guy, not his mother". When she died, my aunt told my father "She finally can't hurt anyone anymore".

way back when, Silas from Africa :-)

The army doesn't allow tattoos? Was this recent? The only tattoo my had has, he got in the service, I think.

An escort couple, now retired (why do my favorites always retire? Is it me?) indulged me in a manhandling fantasy. They'd just had a new shower installed, big enough for several people, and we played out gym shower. One grabbed me from behind and bear-hugged me, while the other soaped me up while I struggled. He moved down & started blowing me while the other guy rubbed his cock against my ass. The pulled me over to the bed, tied me down, and tag-teamed me.

Similar to a friend of mine who got a job as a trainer at a big-chain gym. He was an excellent trainer, but horrible at the process of selling and drumming up new clients. He didn't last long.

I'm a die-hard fan and haven't missed an episode since season 1. This season is a bit light on guys my type. I'm waffling between Dean, Jack, and Tommy. Ronnie and Aaron match my type, but they were both such unsufferable jackasses from the start I'm off them. Jack's got a beautiful trail, I'm waiting for the point where the guys get thinner and their pants are slipping down. Is anyone else getting a gay vibe from Tommy?

No interest in seeing this guy, I'm just clicking on this thread because the comments are making me laugh.
