Smart Bitches Who Love Trashy Novels

These gals are my kind of bitches! Seriously, I teared up they made me laugh so hard. Those covers are heinous, y'all!

Kinky!

A little too much work for just a kiss, don't you think? Kinda hot, though.

Let Us Pray...

Take THAT, Dante!

Judas wasn't such a bad guy after all.

AGAIN With The Gay Fowl!

Penguins, swans, flamingos, and now ducks! The gayness of the avian community is staggering. This pair of shelducks have been together for at least three years now and, since shelducks mate for life, will probably be together forever. Awwwww! And there's even a top and a bottom! You go, boys!

It Depends On What The Definition of "Quit" Is

Tracing the development of "Brokeback" as a word.

Meanwhile, lots of city queens suddenly want to know more about cowboys and farmers. Only the hot ones, though, of course.

Oooooh, James!

"Bond Goldfingers His Thunderballs"

God, Daniel Craig is pure sex (NSFW)! I think he'll make a great James Bond. I really don't understand why some are so against him.

Blogging Updates

A few months ago, one of my favorite bloggers, Scott from Bill in Exile (who I've had the privilege of getting to know over email) called it quits. He's in the middle of a novel and just didn't have the time for blogging. Well, thankfully, the siren's call of blogging has tempted him back, because he's now co-blogging at Boozhy! Welcome back, Scott!

In addition to Boozhy, several new blogs have been added to the sidebar recently, including My Amusement Park, My Confessions, and Queer Beacon. All of these blogs were kind of enough to link this humble little corner of the blogosphere, so it was incumbent upon me to return the favor. Remember, if you link here, just let me know and I'll link to you in return.

Sadly, however, one blog has been deleted from the sidebar. My main bitch, Cindy (aka The Notorious C.A.B., aka The Unsinkable Cindy Best) has closed her blog (The Asexual Agenda) down for good. Her sister found it and started reading and it weirded her out, so she stopped and took it down. We'll miss you, Cindy!

Sometimes, I'm Ashamed To Be A Young Gay Man

When I have these two fuckers for peers. The first guy is just incredibly naive and annoyingly "college intellectual" (if you know what I mean). As for the second guy, I hope a bunch of drag queens gangbang him on an Ivy League campus in front of his boyfriend. What a fuckwit.

Infidels!

The sacrilege is worse and more widespread than I thought! The Pope must declare a crusade against these foul, thieving biblioheretics!

You Don't Say

Who knew taking 40,000 hits of ecstasy could be bad for you? Mind-boggling.

Brother, Can You Spare A [Fifty Pence Piece]?

Money and etymology! Two of my favorite things together at last.

Nerd Fight!

Amateur and professional language scholars throw down. Watch out, y'all! Word nerd rumbles ain't pretty. We don't care who we take out!

Why, Again, Can't I Get A Job As A Proofreader?

Really, why? Though, to be charitable, perhaps the New York Press wasn't talking about "super villains," but actual "villians" (i.e. "those who live in a villa"). The language has been in desperate need of such a descriptor for some time, you know.

A Moment of Zen

Buddhabrot

The End Is Nigh!

Mr. Hat, linguistic blogging genius that he is, has calculated the exact date that the English language will implode under the weight of hand-wringing grammaticasters and hellfire-and-brimstone prescriptivists clucking over the "decline" and "corruption" of Shakespeare's native tongue. Mark your calendars and start learning Chinese!

Can You Spot The Irony?

Behold: the college from hell.
