Yes, Cope, until girls have sex. Because many women are straight we, unfortunately, have to have sex with men. That's when being a girl stops being cool...

You are too cool for school! Especially kissing the girl :shock: And hitting the cop :lol: I hit ON the cop, I didn't hit him! I told him that he looked great in his uniform, and that seeing him made my day. He blushed, checked my license and registration, thanked me and let me go on my way. I enjo...

--made love on the hood of a car (not recommended. The bruise left was worse than a rug burn.) --challenged my dad to a drinking contest--and won! (I won't curse in front of him, but get wasted? Sure!) --fallen from a moving car while vomiting (this one happened recently. Sad.) --hit on a cop to avo...

29??? She's 25 if she's a day!

Happy happy, darlin'.

I was in New Orleans a few years ago, a few days after Mardi Gras. The afterglow was still going...I can only imagine what it's like on the actual day. Have a drive-thru daiquiri for me, Poppy baby.

--skinny dipped

I could do without the camping and the cursing...

It's really hard for me to rank this album, as it's my favorite EC album of all time--with KoA and Brutal Youth not far behind. I don't think there's a single false step here. But..."Beyond Belief" is pure sweetness.

Every "Seven Mary Three Blink 182 Sevendust" loser with a fucking number in their name band to sprout since the late 90's. Die, die, die, damn it, die. Or at least learn more than three fucking chords. Pretty much all of today's rap. I'll admit to dropping it like it's hot at a club every ...

The intro was also the eulogy that he read at Malcolm X's funeral.

I almost cried when I saw this. He was like everyone's grandfather...the man who really HAD been through it all, and lived to teach the young black folks about it. I feel like I've lost a relative.

I love you, Mme. BA. I was totally waiting for someone to drop the Cop Rock bomb.

...but Father Ted rocks!! "Feck off, then."

I stayed home from work yesterday and watched People's Court all day. Is that sad?

I wasn't implying at all that unpopular opinions aren't welcome here. I'd even venture to say that the vast majority of us all hold some opinions that others would consider to be unpopular. It's just very strange, intriguing--and, yes, creepy--to think that the rich and famous have power over life a...

Damn, Mr. A. For a minute there, I thought A Rope Leash was back in the building...

The METERS! I fell in love with the Meters a few years ago, after my dad was noodling around on the guitar playing "Just Kissed My Baby". Elvis, the Meters and James Taylor? Pop, if I drive down for Jazzfest, can I stay with you? And Blue, Pop is right. I went to NO for Spring Break a few ...

Quite true, Miss Shoes. I would never live there again.

Cope, just so we're clear--you're making fun of Fort Wayne because it's the stupidest city in the nation, right?

I went out last night and didn't drink. I wasn't in the mood. I may go out tonight and drink.

Maybe I'll take a nap instead.

HEY! RedShoes and I happen to be from Fort Wayne. Don't hate, man.

Um....ew. I just heard a story from my doctor recently about a man who came into ER with a garden hose....stuck. Like, far up. In a place. The man tried to explain that he was doing garden work and fell onto the hose. This happened in December, in Indiana. Unless he has a greenhouse with heated pipe...

Jamie Foxx did his thang, but, frankly, I'm a little shocked that Ray was nominated for best picture. It just...wasn't.

Bless your heart, Gilli darling. Winter really isn't the best time of the year for anyone--Spring will be sprung soon, and things will get better. Hang in there.

My condolences to you and yours.
