Brief life update, followed by awesome Bingo cards created on LJ.

1. hawkorhandsaw and I hung out with Otoki today, which was a lot of fun. She is just as pretty and smart and funny in person. We went to Ann Sathers, found out that there's a sex toy store in our neighborhood that Daniel and I didn't know existed, so we took a look at it (meh was our conclusion), went to a local awesome bookstore, and then went home and hung out watching TV and playing Fluxx. It was a good afternoon and it was awesome to meet such a kickass lady.

2. Had my first week of work for AmeriCorps. It's been kind of slow this week because I'm at a college and the students aren't back yet, so there's not much to do. But I like my office and everyone in it is really friendly and helpful. I think I'll like it a lot. Plus I got my traincard on Saturday, so for a whole year I won't have to play for any of my trips on the El!

3. One of the other sites I frequent had major drama that had been going on in the background for ages and came to a head on Friday. The site got shut down by a crazy butthurt mod for awhile, and is now basically losing all of it's membership. It was extremely frustrating, but looks like we'll be moving elsewhere, so that community will be able to stay in touch fairly easily.

And now, amusing Bingo cards. I'm not sure who created these. First, Anti Feminist Troll Bingo:



Things to note for this one:
1. For the furthest upper left square, there is actually a valid equalist movement out there. I prefer to call myself a feminist personally, but I get why people move towards equalism.
2. The "innocent until proven guilty" one is not meant to refer to actual legal issues, but to personal opinion.

And I found this one today. Warning, it's huge and I can't trim it down because it would make the text illegible, so right click to view:

Your bingo cards made me crack up!
This is exactly the reason why I get all intimidated to post in the group more often:
1) You, hawkorhandsaw, Otoki - along with a host of other very smart people - say things more eloquently than I ever could. (And are infinitely patient!)
2) People like these cards sorta derail the group a bit... (That's the nicest way I can put it...)
Thanks so much for channeling your creativity in this way, I think I'll use it in my feminism group on campus if I have your permission. smile

But an innocent man could go to prison!

I hope your mediocre sex shop wasn't Early to Bed. My friends and I used to go there when we just turned 18. Small, but with a feminist bent and friendly. I'd hate to hear it's been reduced to "meh."

Also, I love Ann Sathers. And Otoki. Really, your blog is envy-inducing all around.

I used to know a bunch of people that worked in AmeriCorps 9not the kind you're working in though). They had a funny saying: "AmeriCorps: Turning potheads into alcoholics since 1993."

The bingo cards are funny, but it would be REALLY fun to actually play with them. Ha ha! Can you imagine an old guy at the head of a bingo game yelling out "I'll Bet You're Just Fat and Ugly" and "You Obviously Have a Psychiatric/Anger Problem" instead of N5 and G4!
