HA! HA! HA! HA!

What a bunch of poseurs!
You mean “thilly little gameth,” right?
And Starbucks was worried......
Let’s show ‘em some REAL impact. I declare Dec. 15 A Day Without Breeders!

No, these folks aren’t the stereotyped gays.. they are normal, hard working folks..
Well, I don’t know if normal is the right word to use, but at least they aren’t flamboyant.
Maybe because there are NOT that many queers out there.
How about ‘folks who just want to live their life and be left alone, not activists’.
Another “International Day of Action” shot to hell...
I called in Moldavian yesterday.
I have a better idea.
Let’s call in ‘robbed’ ... by our Congress.
Let’s make it a week though.
