Like I said about Evelyn Waugh–who hasn’t had the odd gay affair while at college in the UK? Hitch is even more oddly compelling for this, in my opinion, but I also mentally undress Helen Mirren. (Whom the husband has informed me is not hot in a bikini, by the way. He’s obviously blind, wrong and crazy.)
Is anyone surprised by this? It’s deliciously salacious but it feels less than scandalous, sort of like your very best guy friend–who is going to be an actor and loves to shop–expressing surprise at your lack of surprise at his coming out party.
All I have to say is: Go Hitch! Get your kink on, brother.
Nick. That’s cool, bro. I was just temporarily taken aback by the googly eyes.
Some days (like when I had the flu last year) that about wraps up my bad hair days as far as how I look. Worse, how I feel. As the father of THREE boys, I end up with the googley look more than one day a week anyhow when back in town.
lol
Cathy.
Style, ya say, or you mean the actual avatar itself?
Squid, Octopus.
Well, ya see one cephalopod, and often you’ve seen them all.
Actually, the Octopus is my own internal private joke when I think back to a friend of mine who used to banter with me about Lefty sayings, as when one writer being parodied by George Orwell said something about a “fascist octopus has sung the swan song”, etc., and how that was just a prefabricated, henhouse type commentary that meant nothing, like “stand shoulder to shoulder”, “stand and be counted.”
Or the equally idiotic and meaningless corporate version in various human resources department training sessions on how to REALLY waste time such as “This needs to be done with proactive synergy along various corporate lines of corporate modal descent, along with a modium of culture shift.”
Ilíon and I have joked about this BS-encrusted verbal phenomenon also, BTW. Funny stuff.
….and so (naturally) we made up a response to this ugly smear about good capitalist cephies actually being very industrious and highly intelligent animals–who’re naturals at multi-tasking (notice the tools in his hands).
You had to be there, I suppose. There, and with a case of beer at that wouldn’t hurt. (My teen years were really weird.)
And as far as going crazy, are you referring to wasting time with avatars, or the mere fact of being nutty is a good waste of time?
Well, either way….lol…
And Nick’s current avatar…..oh my…that’s….hmmmm.
Now you can say what you want about me, but don’t go putting down my avatar.
