I just couldn't read you. Couldn't get around the way you used the word "cunt." Couldn't put up with "nigger."

But I know you touched a lot of lives, and I understand that you were a magical writer. And any friend of Juliette's is a friend of mine.

I wish you peace, and the God I believe in is flexible, so I have high hopes that if there is life after death, it's treating you a lot better than the one here did.

Be well.

1 That's the second time you've said the c-word in a week! That is the only word in the english language that makes me uncomfortable. I feel like I did something bad just by reading it My one experience with reading gut rumblings was that I happened on his site when he was in rehab thanks to being called out on-line by his friends for being a drunk. While in rehab, he asked people to send letters to an old lady in there with him who was not receiving support from her family. That seemed pretty considerate of him, so I sent her some jokes, and the wife added some girly crap to lend support. We both felt pretty good for doing this tiny thing we did to help someone we didn't know. So I didn't know him, didn't really read him, but I'm glad he lived.

2 I'm rather fond of the word "cunt," but I think some people overuse it. Applied to people, it's essentially a gender-specific form of "asshole," but I'm one of the few for whom it still has a sort of Anglo-Saxon eroticism, not unlike "fuck"--which remains the most versatile word in English. Acidman lost me when he published a huge screed against Venomous Kate, comparing her to his ex-wife, the "bloodless cunt." I could never get over the sense that he was a racist womanhater. But it appears I might be wrong.

4 Well, that would explain the fact that he was attractive to women--we do, after all, love our lost, tortured souls. Bad boys are so Byronesque.

5 Yes. Ladies are painting their toenails red all over the world. Some have vowed to leave 'em red all summer. I was not a fan, myself. I followed along because of the blogwars and drama over Livey - i AM a fan, there. So I've been pondering all this, and the strangely powerful effect his passing away had on me. That resulted in my only two posts all week: http://ksquest.blogspot.com/2006/06/death-in-family.html http://ksquest.blogspot.com/2006/07/some-final-thoughts.html People who aren't raised in the South can develop a sort of stereotype mind-set about Southerners. That's a form of bigotry, of prejudice - which, of course, is part of the stereotype of the southerner. As always, those pre-judgements make them unaware of what great things they really ARE missing. Acidman was an intelligent and complex person; taking him at face value, as so many did, was silly. They lost. Big time.

This has to be one of the funniest, sexiest articles I've ever read.

Damn, I love Hitch:

Stay with me. I've been doing the hard thinking for you. The three-letter "job," with its can-do implications, also makes the term [blowjob] especially American.

I'm married, but I've half a mind to send him some Johnny Walker Bluejob just for that illuminating read.

I know it seems sudden, but now he's fucking with Samuel Taylor Coleridge; I shall have to publicly de-link him. (While I'm at it, I may impugn his masculinity because of his stay-at-home-dad status, refer to him as a "failed academic" or some such, and put down his sweet, adorable son—but I haven't quite decided about that part.)

7 We have to get those naked Lefties out of our mind. You know the ones. The ones always referring to their 'bush' and while their breasts cascade over five rolls of stomach fat...There ought to be a law.

8 Are the lefties constantly referring to their "bush" the ones in San Francisco? The ones holding up signs reading "Breasts, not bombs" while going topless to protest the war? LOL That has to be the dumbest thing yet. Especially when you see the women, using the word "women" loosely, at best. Hairy armpits, de rigeur.

Insty has a good roundup on the current Kos-TNR dustup, and the TownhallTownhouse-list scandal.

Somehow, the whole thing makes my head hurt, although it's always nice to watch the leftist fringe self-destruct. How funny that "people power" translates into "march in lockstep with me."

She does not seem too happy about it, though.

I can relate to the idea that if someone suddenly sounds like Ace, that would be a turn-on. What is it about that guy, anyway?

Nonetheless, I maintain that there's nothing wrong with Feisty a Hitachi Magic Wand wouldn't cure.

Send me pix if you want to participate: I'm interested in the silliest examples you've seen of cell phone towers dressed up to look like something else. For instance, whenever they try to make them look like trees, they get the colors all wrong, and end up with very un-treelike constructions.

And then there is the church nearby that has added a ring of cells around the cross, as if it were simply a decorative element.

Sifu Tweety is a bright guy, and his rhetorical inflections are so similar to those on Protein Wisdom that I must conclude he and Jeff were separated at birth, and one of them is in fact the other's evil twin.

Which one is evil? Time will tell.
