NYS Senator Diane Savino says “Ay” for Marriage Equality
Could have reblogged this from a bunch of folks. She says a lot of things we’ve said before that apparently need to be repeated many times.
What is this, 1999?
Recurring themes: LGBT issues, San Francisco tidbits, ukuleles, pirates, games, absurdism. I won't really talk about myself here, but you'll get a sense of me, anyway.

"For Score and Seven Beers Ago, our feathers burst forth on this Inner Sunset a new quiz team, conceived in liquor, and dedicated to the proposition that all questions are worth equal points. Now we are engaged in a great trivia war, testing whether our team, or any team, so conceived and so inebriated, can long endure. We are met in the Blackthorn Tavern of that war. We have come to correctly answer a portion of that quiz, with a final response sheet by those who here gave the right answers that this team might win. It is altogether fun and point-earning that we should do this."
— My pub quiz team’s new bio.
Sad that I could not represent my pub quiz team in the manner I desired.
"Consider the MacBook Pro that Swoopo sold on Sunday for […] $35.86. Swoopo lists its suggested retail price at $1,799; judging by the specs, you can actually get a similar one online from Apple for $1,349, but let’s not quibble. Either way, it’s a heck of a discount. But now look at what the bidding fee does. For each “bid” the price of the computer goes up by a penny and Swoopo collects 60 cents. To get up to $35.86, it takes, yes, an incredible 3,585 bids, for each of which Swoopo gets its fee. That means that before selling this computer, Swoopo took in $2,151 in bidding fees. Yikes."

Joe Jackson, “Steppin’ Out”
Something that came up in conversation over breakfast as this song came on the radio: You know how people mishear lyrics all the time? Happens to people of all ages in contextually solid ways. Case in point: this song came out when I was 7. I remember hearing it on the radio at that time and thinking the chorus was about a cartoon character. You know, with the magic sword and the power of Grayskull and the crazy outfit that wasn’t about bondage or nothin’. “He-Man, steppin’ out into the light.” Actually, I still hear that. I can’t unhear it.
I Love Hotdogs does screencapping right!
I’ll admit it, based on this alone I’m gonna go see if I can rent Skatetown USA. Am I that predictable? Fuck it, I know what I like.
I don’t like the Twitter Peek.
Confession: I love it when my friends are in the position to slam something or someone on video politely, but with a slight edge in their voice. Nicole at the 3:00 mark here reminds me of Ernie voting for Tiffany as the Weakest Link several years ago. My internal smile is Cheshire-wide.
