new Craig's List feature
 

In the unlikely event that you feel like you have not been exposed to enough ranting here in the past few days, Craig's List just created a new feature called Rants and Raves. It probably should just be called Rants. I spotted the word recockulous over there so maybe cross-fertilization is already in process.

come on, you think this is the only site that coup d'skek posts on with an everchanging array of names?!? nttawwt.

Yesterday was a very hip day. Hip is trendy, which is as in as rain on your wedding day. Embrace it.

This thread, however, is dead. COntinue shoveling.

Beggars Don't Sock
 

Last night some guy chased after me for two blocks asking for my spare change. I ignored him, as I usually ignore people begging for money, but he kept tagging along, saying the usual things beggars say. Then he said, "Come on man. Look at me. I ain't got no socks!"

He had a good laugh with me when I stopped, turned around, pointed to my feet and said, "Well, crap, neither do I!"

Like he would buy socks with the 79 cents I may have had in my wallet. Right.

Here is an online blood alcohol content calculator you should bookmark.

According to the calculator, I was legally drunk in ALL states on Saturday night.

I disagree with your characterization of whether his comments suggested that, at the very least, the two comments were comparable. I agree that he didn't suggest that either was appropriate. He did then say something, and I would assume that if he were commenting negatively on other people's appropriateness, he wouldn't be making a comment he considered inappropriate on the very same day.

I was really initially just yanking his chain and trying to get him to see something from another person's perspective, which he said he was good at and Thurgreed isn't.

Meta is so 1996, at least it is for me, as that's when I worked for a company with "Meta" in the title. Can't we try to be a little post-modern around here?

I'm sorry, but if you actually remember the amount of alcohol in fluid ounces that you consumed, and the time it took you to consume them, then you were not nearly drunk enough.

Good points, and I think you're right. The "Fab 5" are a little over the top at times, but each seem to be genuinely likeable people (one's from Chicago I think). Liking someone for who they are rather than focusing on who they're in bed with is the way to acceptance.

They certainly won over Butch, who turned out to be a nice, sensitive artist trapped in the body of an axe murderer... The guy's place was horrible (one called it a "crack den") and they really made him and his place presentable. And like I said, I picked up a couple of grooming/fashion tips and product suggestions I intend to try out.

Aside from the show itself, what I was particularly struck by, and not in a bad way, was the commercials. Bravo is definitely targeting gay viewers, between this show and the upcoming "Boy meets Boy". Looks like they're putting more fun in their schedule rather than being known as the arts and high culture channel... Also, did you see the Orbitz ad for Orbitz.com/gaytravel with the pseudo-"Thunderbirds" puppets?? Pretty daring even for these times, but certainly not unwelcome.

If this is a joke site, and I sincerely hope that it is, it is a very well done joke site. If not, well, it's just wrong on many levels.

Well, it doesn't take much to be "drunk" by the legal standards in many states. One Long Island would do it for a big hunk of the population.

No. You may put me on ignore, though, if it makes you feel better. Thanks for quoting DS, by the way.

If by "NOW" you mean 1998 (for now, anyway).

That may very well have been my favorite part of the hour. I was very pleased with Orbitz for seizing that particular marketing opporutnity and unabashedly running with it on TV. It makes sense, but it was also ballsy, I thought. As far as I can remember, there've been some sublte gay advertisements (I'm thinking of Volkswagon commercials), but not overtly targeted gay ads on TV before.

Tattoo Who?
 

I agree. Wrong and disturbing on many levels. However, I did find myself thinking that having a tat on junior provides some nice identifying features for the police should said junior ever go missing (or worse).

The site is scary -- looks too detailed to be a joke site. I guess some might say that its better than circumcising them?

I've been seeing the Orbitz Thunderbirds ads for a couple of weeks now. Yes, even the one for gay travel. I watch a lot of BBC America, Fox Sports World, and TLC. Can't remember which network they aired on.

I am anxiously awaiting the Thunderbirds movie (I loved that show as a kid). Hope it's as good as the commercials.

There is a little boy (maybe 5-6 years old?) that hangs out near my neighborhood from time to time who has a spiked mohawk. I think I see him with his grandparents, who do not appear to notice that their descendent is oddly attired for a person of his vintage. This little kid is adorable, and usually is wearing either tiny tight black pants and combat boots with silver chains and those spiked leather wrist bands or a Superman-type outfit. I've seen him twice in the Superman-type outfit.

Scared to see his parents.

Beggars Don't Sock
 

I just have to say that I've seen this behavior in people who haven't grown up in the city before.

Ignoring someone who is begging is your right, but I think it's stupid. And if you're a woman or a wee man, dangerous. I think what bothers the homeless and the beggers the most is being treated like they are something less than human. Being ignored 1000 times a day probably starts to affect you after awhile (just ask PJ) and I'm guessing, when people snap it's sometimes because they can't get a response (positive or negative) from anyone.

Why can't you just say, "Sorry, man. I have no change," or "Can't help you today," and move on? You don't even have to stop. I do this and have had very few problems. The worst response was from old lady who I never saw before yelled, "You NEVER have any change!" That, I ignored.
