"Straight" Guys Are Having More Bisexual Sex?
I'm sure this has been noted already, but.. um.. how does that work exactly?
I guess it works just like "transgendered" boys in the girls locker room & v.v. ...
IOW, B.S.
As my great-uncle Ralph used to say, "Y'ain't straight just 'cause yer not catchin', bucko."
Ralph was kinda wise but kinda weird.
Alberta Oil Peon #179: Morgan Freeman... He'd make a great Uncle Remus, if they ever remade Song of the South.
No, wait, wait! The all-female remake of Song of the South! Starring Oprah!
The National World War II Museum estimates that by 2036, there will be no living veterans out of the roughly 16 million who served from the United States.

Mike Hammer: We should start some sort of AT&T support group here at Camp Banhammer.
I have collected a long list of apparently banned AT&T IPs. I wonder to which Official I should send it for potential release of them. To Maet? Pixy? One thing I know, certainly not Ace - that would be like throwing it into a black hole.
Well, if abstract stuff like that can be called "art," here's one of mine, randomly picked from the heap...

But then, I wasn't in WWI nor had to teach myself to learn painting with my other hand nor...
That painting was the inspiration for the final part of 2001: A Space Odessey.
Good morning, troops.
You missed my comments on the earlier thread* because I had one of those pixy-banned AT&T IPs. Having now re-IP'd, let's see if this one works.
*Remarkably, my comments were probably nothing you couldn't live without! 
I'm taking the short cut to bed. The scenic route is closed for repairs anyway.
Good night, Gracies.
Just scanned through 250+ comments.
Had the strangest feeling of déjà vu -- the perception that we've had some of these conversations before. Which ones, I couldn't say. Weird.

That post was mighty meaty, Maet. Will take a bit to digest. 
I made sock puppeteer #7 this week. Does that count as doing something wrong or right? Always amusing what handle gets picked for this list.
Congrats to commenter #1, sven again, whose per-day count is down this week... isn't it?
Quantity, quality, tomayto tomahto...
Checking in before reading the post.
Howdy, moonlighters. My day had its downs and ups. Ended up about where I started, so, broke even.

I just finished it. I have no idea what you call that or what you're supposed to do with it but I liked it.
If anyone here is thinking about reading MW's story don't get hung up with the cartoon beginning, it changes to something else entirely.
Like said, I liked it.
Mindful webworker, I am not a good judge of graphic novels, but if you decide to publish we will definitely add it to the AoSHQ list of books.
Since the thread is aged and superceded, my tl;dr du jour. (de la semaine?)
Sometimes I pimp (theme of the day) on my one fiction short story, Invulnerable - link in nick. I blush to self-promote at all, much less in the company of so many brilliant readers and distinguished authors, and with so much good to read in the world - but if I don't mention it, who would?
When I mention it, I'll check the stats laster that day, and I'll usually see average maybe three clicks from AoSHQ.
Don't know if anyone ever got past page one, though. Never get a syllable of feedback, there or here. Oh, well, there was one comment once: someone followed the link to the table of contents but couldn't figure out that you click on the chapter titles to proceed. !! Other than that, nothing.
As far as I know, the only person who has actually read through to the bitter end is Milady, my fan club of one.

I'm used to little-to-no feedback on my webworks, and anyway asking for feedback is major "be careful what you ask for" territory, especially since, under my gruff, manly exterior, I'm as sensitive as that SJW girl in the vine with the balloon sword. I suppose no feedback is like no news. Better silence than having my soul crushed by scathing criticism or snarky derision. (Which I've had for some of my musical efforts.)
But I do gots t'wonder, how does it come across?
I'm not a pro writer or aspiring author - this was just something that poured out of me one winter, after years of contemplating the idea. I don't expect five star reviews. It's light drama, I suppose you'd say. I'm kinda fond of the characters and think the story works, but of course I can't have any kind of objective view.
I suppose it can be confusing - starts out as rough-sketch "graphic" storytelling (comicstrip), then quickly becomes straightforward text with shifting narrators, and the epilogues are faux webpages and emails. Begins with a guy who has a pacific kind of superpower that influences others, and then part 2 ends up ... well, I don't want to spoil it, but, sci-fi.

So, glutenous for punishment perhaps, I've mentioned it again. It's on my website for free. Comments can be left on the ToC page. Would you pay 99¢ - or 10¢ - for it on Amazon or Kindle? There's PayPal donation buttons atop each page. (Been meaning to drop PayPal, but haven't figured out a good substitute yet.)
Feedback and funding aside, it'd be nice to think that I hit that niche market of someone who was entertained by it - that's the reason I promote it, really.
Seamus Muldoon #21: Newsreel footage from that day (no plane spotted, alas):
http://tinyurl.com/hofcg87
Pardon a techinickle objection.
For some reason, on my Opera browser, a TinyURL link can take nearly a minute to load, meanwhile freezing up the browser. (Hates TinyURLs we does, yes.)
So, I sent the browser after Seamus's URL, and to kill the wait time went back to get a coffee refill. Suddenly there's newsreel voice yelling from the computer (fortunately did not awaken Milady, nearby). Ran to hit pause on the video. (Yeah, I should keep the mute on all morning, just in case, but forget to.)
Folks, YouTube has its own short URLs - click the "Share" button below the video - and they show up as "youtu.be" so you I know you're I'm going to the auto-play site.
That's my nannying of the day, worth twice what you paid for it. 2*0¢=unasked-for advice.
(Seamus knows all this - he uses TinyURL to mask YouTubes just to spite me.)
Thanks for another inciteful [sic] book post, pimp daddy O'Muse.
...let his prayer be counted as sin! May his days be few; may another take his office!
May his children be fatherless and his wife a widow! May his children wander about and beg, seeking food far from the ruins they inhabit!
That's about my favorite imprecation.
Like more modern Jewish curses of the nature of, may he have a mansion of a hundred rooms and be found dead in every one. That one cracks me up.
Like how some AoSHQ'er will rip into some politician or lefty celebrity with verbal vigor, and others will admiringly reply, "that's pure poetry."
A good imprecation is warming to the heart, as well as inspiring linguistic achievement. Even if it's just the "f that guy in particular" cat gif. Spirit-lifting.
And as to what Christians are taught about loving enemies and all that, records indicate that Mr Jesus himself had a few choice zingers. Hard to top his "whited sepulchers." C'mon, Lord, don't hold back; tell us how you really feel!

Gotta wonder what those glasses of (looks like) milk are for!
._!_.
G'mornin', booklets!
Teacher, I forgot to write my book report this week. Actually, I didn't even finish the book. Can I clean the erasers or something to make up for it?
Got caught up, finally, to my own comments, and saw they were two in a row and just about the end of the thread.
I can read the writing on the wall screen - it's time to give up on the day and sleep until the new one rolls in.
Been fun lurkin' on all the discussion. What a crew.

My friend, we are all Jonahs with lives to live in accordance with the will of God, and at all times when we seek to escape the present duty of living by running away to far-off enticements, we thereby put ourselves in the immediate control of those influences which are not directed by the powers of truth and the forces of righteousness. The flight from duty is the sacrifice of truth....
publius #309: ...My mother was almost back to normal, at least acting like it. ... she smiled. I haven't seen her smile in over a month....
Man, lotsa dust in the room tonight.
Keeping on praying for her recovery, Pub.
