You know, it's funny, I decided to google your name and the word Karate after I made that post, and I bent over with laughter when a page came up telling me that, yes, in fact you karate.  I laughed and laughed.

[RoyBiggins]

At this point, I'd say it's completely NOT racist for me to assume that you're good at Math.

[dumbfish]

Sounds like you need to ask a question here.

[RoyBiggins]

Hmm. I dunno.  Come to think of it, though, you haven't been around lately, have you?  Unless I've just missed it. How you been?  You're the LPTJer I know least about, I think.  All I know is that you have/had a wonderful huge sweet dog whose name I think is Grady.  And, in my mind, you're a biology professor who likes to fish.  But I'd be completely unsurprised if I had sort of made up that narrative.

[dumbfish]

You're the LPTJer I know least about, I think.

That's just the way I like it! Actually, the information you gave for me was pretty much spot-on. I'm touched!
I just wanted an excuse to post a link to that blog because it makes me laugh.

As did I. Excellent!

[Antero]

of course I karate!

Oh man, this is now my favorite shit ever.

Yo, why don’t you slow down before throwing around phrases like, “now that I have been accepted via this bonding ritual,” like you think your quest to finally get to say the n-word is narrated by David Attenborough or some shit.

in less awesome gay news, in russia

Lawmakers are about to vote on bill that will make it illegal for any person to write a book, publish an article or speak in public about being gay, lesbian, bi or transgender. And this is just the beginning - if the law passes in St. Petersburg, officials have threatened to take it nationwide.

Activists in St. Petersburg are rushing to organize a public protest against the bill, but no matter where you are, you can stand with them. Join this call to leaders around the world to reach out to their counterparts in the Russian government - and ask them to reject this discriminatory and anti-democratic law.

A dozen members of the Occupy Charlotte movement held a news conference Tuesday criticizing the city of Charlotte for "having DNC fever," which they said causes officials not to act in the public's interest.

Protester Michael Zytkow said the city's enthusiasm for the Democratic National Convention led it to make what he considers poor decisions, such as adopting anti-camping ordinances that target Occupy Charlotte protesters.

During the press event, Zytkow wore a white doctor's coat, a prop he used to make his point about "diagnosing DNC fever."

Short and sweet rebuttal in the comments:

Dear Occupiers:

You wore out your welcome when you crapped in the storm drain,

Sincerely, The Fish

This guy my landlord hired to do trivial repair work on the property is all involved in occupy Houston.  He introduced himself into my by saying, "Hi I'm Remington, I'm a straight ally." (I think he initially thought my wife and I were gay roommates or something)  He comes over sometimes to be generally feckless and perform shoddy repairs to the mailbox slot or whatever, and then corners me for 20 minutes explaining what unions are and why they are important while I'm trying to hang laundry out on the line.

Lots of poop in East Houston's waterways would probably be an improvement though.  I live a smidge under 5 miles from the largest benzene polluter in the US.

[Thermofusion]

If my name was something badass like Remington I'd probably talk everyone's ear off

Yeah at some point it's like, oh, look, we have a million celebrities now and another one croaked.  Huh. 

Something interesting I saw on twitter:  AP had an obituary for her ready to go.  Pretty incredible for a 48 year old woman.
