It Sucks that "Suck" Sucks.
Why should something "sucking" be a bad thing: "That sucks", "You suck".
I mean it has been my experience that sucking is almost always a good thing, both for the sucker and the suckee.
Okay maybe not to be sucked into a vortex or suck starting a lawn mower, but otherwise suck is a wonderful thing.
And I am proud...

Have you ever noticed that the vast majority of people that have bumper stickers that read something like "Proud to be an American", are people that America is not particularly proud to have

Your completely right about that!

Dear Bicyclists
I just wanted to tell you that I really appreciate what a wonderful thing you are doing for the environment. Not using fossil fuels is just ducky...though you would have saved even more if you had just walked but let's not split hairs. And Hey that outfit you're wearing is very striking. I can see the lump in your left testicle and that's...

So there's this old guy downtown here named Wes. Wes used to be a truck driver. Then his wife died and he had open heart surgery. He was left destitute and was living on the street (sleeping on the porch of an attorney's office).
After a year he finally got his dis-ability check and back pay from the trucking company he used to work for....

So a couple of months ago Season
http://www.newsreview.com/issues/chico/2005-06-09/music.asp
gave me an instruction in her rather random and where-in-the-Hell-did-that-come-from kinda way.
"You are not allowed to seduce (her friend) Jessica"
http://www.livejournal.com/userinfo.bml?user=pink80s
she told me.
Now I had never considered seducing her, although I have always thought she is a very attractive and wonderful woman. I've only physically met her once. She lives five hundred miles away....

blackrayne:
But were all your flavors guaranteed to satisfy?
mentula:
Absolutely...and when I'm coming you hear music
I try never to write about my trade (I'm a mortician), but I felt this was compelling and that I could hide identities well enough to make it work. So here goes (after my standard warning)

So the other day, I'm walking downtown with a young poet named Lor, when some drunks call out to me
"What's up with the red suspenders?" (they are kind of my trademark).
"They keep my pants from falling down," I called back without slowing down.
But they were not satisfied yet.
"Do they mean you killed a man?"
"Not with the suspenders."
