[QUOTE=levdrakon] I’m thinking maybe I forgot to take my “gets the joke” pill this morning, so maybe someone help me out here. [/QUOTE] Lighten up, Francis. You’ve never been twenty-something? If you had read the thread rather than just looked for political incorrect phrases to take offense at, you’d probably have come away with the impression that she was completely comfortable in the company of the aging transvestite. She’s mocking him/her because of his/her bad attitude, not sexuality. The phrase is non PC. Oh well. And yeah, I believe the story. When just a wee bit younger, one my favorite bars was a lesbian hang out. It just was just different and had a cool atmosphere. I just had to be willingly to laugh of the occasional, “Outta my way, sausage!” ---

The guy who was really more of a problem was the cult recruiter guy. Later my boyfriend was like “I actually can totally understand how people get sucked into those kinds of things. He made me feel like I was the only person in the room” A little disconcerting to hear but it worked out in the end. What the fuck is that not part of God business? Does Lev think I made the story up? We walked into this bar off the street and didn’t even know it was a gay bar until like two hours later. We didn’t go into it being like “oh this is a silly fruit bar lets go in and be assholes because these people’s opinions of us don’t matter” I was just shocked at the audacity at this persons willingness to SCOLD me like a child not for talking loud as much as not including her in the conversation which would be a valid point if I KNEW WHO THE FUCK SHE WAS. Does anyone go out of their way to include total strangers in their conversations? When my friend fell to his credit his stool had one shorter wobbly leg AND I tried to buy everyone on the patio a beer when he fell and broke shit. I have verbal diarrhea. I talk about the most horrible things out in public. I’ll go on and on about a grizzly murder I’m reading about, the gory things that happen where I work, and whatever else comes to my head. I’m used to offending someone every time I walk outside my door. I don’t usually understand why but it happens. I pay for my drinks, I tip generously, and while I may be a loud talker at least I’m not one of those screaming squealing girls that run through bars hugging people they know. “I LOVE THIS SONG!!!” So until being a 23 year old highly extroverted overstimulated easily excitable loud talking asshole becomes illegal, I will stay the course (and then draw it) ---

**Lobby, mobby** (may I call you that? No? ok)– You don’t understand. You’re fairly new here.\*\* Levdrakon\*\* is sort of like Oscar the Grouch–the propensity to be an attention whore(or is a junior mod?), but only for negative attention. He polices the Pit for only Pit-appropriate stuff; nevermind that he is not the arbiter of such things. He likes to be pissed off, grumpy and out of sorts. Me, I think he’s suffering from chronic constipation. The best thing to do for him is to ignore him–that allows him to be pissed off, grumpy and even more out of sorts–and probably more constipated. Consider it an act of charity. and keep on drawing. Hell, I’d draw **levdrakon** at this point. 😉 ---

[QUOTE=levdrakon] Okay, [I’m bored.](http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v62/Levdrakon/stupid.png) [/QUOTE] You’re female? Why are you birthing a bowling ball and naming it after me? Should we explore this issue in greater depth? Do bowling balls have some greater significance to you? Do you fear bowling balls? Do you fear birth? Balls? Me? Do you have an unnatural attraction to bowling balls or dinosaurs or me? The rendition of me as a dinosaur-headed human is quite good, actually. However, I would like to point out that I am actually ornithiscian, not saurishician. Please make a note of it. ---

[QUOTE=Rubystreak] Then can you please tell me, who is brutally slaying the bears? My money’s on Stephen Colbert. [/QUOTE] I’ll give a nod to your spelling catch, since it’s probably too oblique for many, sort of like my catch of “yacht’s down” in another thread. ---
