Am I the only one that thinks that using a Bush vs. Kerry poll isn’t really all that valid a way of determining the political lean of this board? ---

What the hell is going on with all of these “subscription” posts and trying to fit either subscribing or not subscribing into common categories? The people posting and reading here are a cross section of life, real live diversity before your eyes. ---

If your political leaning can’t be judged on which you like better out of two guys that are basically pretty similar to one another, you are too fucking complicated and need to get over yourself. ---

I think the SPOOFEmeister is refering to young girls getting intoxicated and suddenly finding all these lesbian urges they never knew they had, only to be mortified by them again the next morning. Of course, only _liberal_ 16 year old girls would be such sluts. The conservative ones are at home on Friday night, knitting poodle sweaters. ---

Is the Bulldog Cafe still around? Man o man could I tell some stories about that place. Not to mention one involving a buddy a “sex worker” and a big freakin Great Dane. (the dog kind of Dane not the Hamlett kind) 🙂 ---

Yeah, the Bulldog is still there. In fact, it’s opened an affiliate elsewhere in town (Leidseplein). I’ll skip on your bestiality tale, if you don’t mind. 🙂 ---
