Who had the stupid idea for a GLASS trophy in the first place? I enjoyed all the gay movie quotes! "The Unwritten Rules of Fandom" have been posted everywhere the last little while and are right on, IMHO. Love those "anticipatory headlines," LOL!
How to survive
Don't lie
Don't steal
Don't hurt people
There are exceptions.
You can lie sometimes if the people who have enslaved you are after your dishonest ass.
#2 never steal from poor people but if you are working in a laundry for minimum wage you can easily take an extra roll of tp or a towel or two
#3 never hurt people. Don't hurt people. Leave that to the big guys. They are the pros.
The gay movies quotes! Yes!
There were some I need to watch again.
As for the wingnuts and Talibangelicals, I've stopped caring. Really. It's all so incredibly dumb I feel I'm losing my mind reading their Baroque logic.
XOXO
Debra: True, making a trophy out of anything easily breakable is odd, and kind of cheap. I hope we see some of the Crank's headlines in reality.
Richard: Not sure I see the connection.
Sixpence: I'm getting pretty tired of the religio-crazies too. Maybe they'll quieten down a bit after Jan 20, but most likely they'll just move on to the next scam.
I always enjoy theses posts! I end up coming here late but I always end up having fun, especially the links to funny - or crazy! - stuff.
Glad you enjoy them! There's always plenty of crazy.
