Gonna take his belt and beat him!

I can't drink enough to have a real hangover, but I am not, today, quite my usual perky self... also, breaking my record of keeping five IM windows going at once hasn't made my brain feel any sharper.

But it was great talking to you all anyway. I especially liked the photos. You know who you are. :D

I find I don't, after all, own a copy of The Phantom Tollbooth, although I know I did not that long ago - fuck knows where it got to. I stopped at Waterstone's on the way back from Mum's with the intention of buying another - couldn't find it, so I bought a copy of Raymond E. Feist & Janny Wurts' Daughter of the Empire instead - yet another book I used to own that got lost or left behind at some stage.

I've never been without books at any stage of my life, however up or down it was. Even during the homeless years, whatever squat/tent/abandoned car/garage Mike and I were staying in, it was always filled with books, and neither of us ever went anywhere without one. That was only one of the reasons he and I were so close. For more recent friends - this post explains who Mike was - my best friend, my blood brother, who helped save me although he couldn't save himself. You would have liked him - all of you.

I have, in my own, quiet way, declared war on one of the most irritating posters on TrekBBS. It's not in my nature to be confrontational - but I am going to be notifying the mod furiously every time a certain "dysgenic motherfucker" raises his ugly, reactionary, bigoted, fundie trollish head from here on in. And my thanks to The God Thing for a flame that gave me shudders of pleasure to read it.

No, I'm not going to link it. Go look in QSF. It's well worth a read.

Oh, CTT3? He's just a kid. He'll grow up one of these days. Probably after he gets laid.

[lizblackdog.livejournal.com]

I imagine that would be never, then. Unless sheep count?

Heh, I even have an appropriate smiley:

*snickers*

Coming from someone who consistantly points out how morally wrong and disgusting homosexuality is and how he would turn off the tv before seeing a gay/lesbian character on a trek show *cough*, I'd say his spelling issues are the least of his worries anyway...

At any rate, it was a pretty classic flame.

Precisely. He's a complete fuckwad. I've managed to ignore the homophobia and the woman-hating anti-choice and anti-birth control rantage (mostly by staying out of TNZ), but the "whut" is the last damn straw. It causes me pain. I will see it stamped out.

Nah. I think he's saving himself for marriage...and unless he scores himself a Bush twin, I can't imagine any woman who'd want someone that narrow-minded.

My mean-spirited comment for the day. :-P

Is that you, RedFenix?

[jeneration-why.livejournal.com]

That's me. :-)

I hear ya. There are women who buy clothes simply to have clothes. Me? I buy books simply to have books. I haven't thrown away/gotten rid of any books that I purchased in the past 8 years at least...which includes college textbooks that would probably make me a couple hundred bucks richer if I sold them back. I just can't bear to part with them. :-(

I like TGT... known him since he was MrStinkyPants
This was also one of his insults for posters that were braindead..

[jim-gamma.livejournal.com]

He was Mr Stinky Pants? O_O

[montymark.livejournal.com]

Agreed, that is a great flame. I'm going to enjoy following that thread.

[flukie.livejournal.com]

I think he had another username too, can't recall right now.

bummer about Tollbooth
I STILL can't think of the name of that book about the kid who likes limericks & has a guardian devil
