Haha. Oh man. DR666 for the win...
Faggots were sticks of wood that were used to start a fire at a Witch burning. Some believed that a gay or lesbian person would be burned, along with faggots, to help start the fire. Gradually, the term was believed to be used to refer to the victim instead of the wood. This etymology appears to be incorrect. Tracing the history of "faggot" back through French and Latin to its Greek origin, it has always referred to a bundle of sticks.

Yeah, although that seems to affect all sexualities.

Go into a chat room and try and have cybersex. nobody can spell anything besides 'mmmmmmmm' these days. It's a sickness, I tell you.

I love it. Obscure as fuck but fascinating. Thanks.

Now tell me how that relates to my obsession with the lovely lesbians who grace the streets of my town with their gorgeous presence?

QTF. Every hot girl I've ever met in Asheville is lesbian. I met one that fronted an all-girl Misfits cover band...*swoon*

gmku · 05.12.2009, 07:35 PM

Funny. Yeah. One thing that made my wife feel better about me living here and her in Portland--one of our lesbian friends in Columbia told us that Asheville is the lesbian capital of the U.S. There is ZERO chance of me cheating on my wife here even if I were so inclined.

Would I stand a chance if I wore my Beastie Boys T-shirt? Do lesbian girls like the Beasties?

Please, God, in my next life, let me come back as a slim 20-year-old lesbian.

floatingslowly · 05.12.2009, 07:46 PM

^^^ the gatefold Paul's Boutique is worth $$$.

oh...

I'm sorry.

I'll come back when yr not touching yrself.

gmku · 05.12.2009, 08:01 PM

OK, I'm done. I washed my hands, too.

I imagine the original gatefold is, indeed. Unfortunately I only have the recently reissued gatefold. Supposedly it's faithful to the original though. Oddly enough, it was priced less than Check Your Head.

floatingslowly · 05.12.2009, 09:11 PM

I'd offer to trade you for mine (just because I'm nice), but I'd rather gloat over it, waving my original gatefold at you, yelling "ha ha".

static-harmony · 05.12.2009, 09:16 PM

Imma play Merzbow in the the next pub I go to.

you sound just like glice when you say it like that.

you even nailed the tricky silent H.

static-harmony · 05.12.2009, 09:40 PM

I'm just as cocky too.

I thought this said "music is for bagels" for about a tenth of a second and soon became sorely disappointed.

Seriously? Wow, nice. Did you buy it when it first came out, or pick it up later? And do you mind if I ask how much you paid for it?
