If Keanu Reeves _did_ post on this message board, I imagine it would look much like this thread. ---

Keanu would be probably happy to know that my new job has me losing hair by the handful… God I really thought I was going to “just squeeze by” the “hair club for men thing”… Damn you Keanu, damn you!!! ---

Q: What does it mean to “give [someone] the _same fag_”? In context it looks like “to extend the same consideration” or something along those lines, but I can’t be sure. Or maybe you’re British, and it has something to do with cigarettes? ---

What I mean is I talk intelligently with him, but all I get in return is a bunch really bad your mama jokes… Cracks so old they make me laugh when _I_ hear them. Basically he’s 30 and he acts like he’s 7. That’s the perspective in a nutshell. ---

I forget a lot of you are not in the US when I write these thangs… Slang, I guess, does not always translate universally. ---

Thaidog, I think you misunderstand. I think that _most_ people here understand _what_ you said. it’s _why_ you said it that causes confusion. Are you that dense that you don’t realize how offensive you are? ---

Yes, **Waverly** , it’s the Golden Rule, some version of which appears in every major religion or culture throughout human history. “Fag unto others as you’d have them fag unto you.” It’s so beautiful, yet so simple… _\_ excuse me, I need a moment. I’m getting _verklempt_. Talk amongst yourselves. I’ll give you a topic: **Thaidog** is neither Thai, nor a dog. Discuss. ---
