see you in the spring
Awww shit...here comes another hot PC game: Dungeons & Dragons is now online, just like World of Warcraft, Star Wars and City of Heroes/Villians. And I haven't even gotten to Civilization IV yet. Many of my more A.D.D. friends have pretty much migrated over to City of Villians while I've still just scratched the surface of City of Heroes. There's just not that much time in the day to be a geek.
Random Wisconsin city name generator.
Kazakstan government worked up over Borat the reporter (played by Ali G). Listen, Nursultan, your country needs all the exposure it can get. Winning the equestrian events at the olympics isn't going to pull your country out of obscurity.
Get this one...African-American DC pastor makes stereotype, whines about gentrification, then cries all the way to the bank with $10 mil in pocket:
"See, I found out that the rent is gonna be so high that only the rich homosexuals and lesbians will be able to buy this condominium," pastor Theresa Garrison tells the congregation.
As the Washington Post article states, part of what the pastor says is true: The condos will be priced from $400,000 to $1 million, with no set-asides for affordable units.
Yeah, but this sinful homo won't be sitting his pretty [white, as you imply] ass in your church, cuz not all homos, especially lesbians, are rich. Find some other focus for your scapegoating and stereotyping because all you're gonna get is a big FUCK YOU out of me. Nasty bitch.

I'm so glad that "church" is gone. The churches of this city's bad habit of double and triple parking is ridiculous. I'll be happy when most of these churches follow their flock out to the suburbs. All they do in town is take up valuable taxable land. They give virtually nothing back to the community and get big tax breaks.
I'd really like the next mayor to do something about affordable housing. As it stands now you either have to make six figures or qualify for Section 8. I don't really care to buy, but things are just ridiculous.

She really should focus on the fact that that income bracket isn't homos but a true evil--lawyers.

But Chrisafer...what about homo lawyers??? Also, isn't "homosexuals and lesbians" a bit redundant?
Where's Marion when we need him?

Why is it that people think homos have all this money? Like we aint got bills, student loans or car payments? Oy frackin Vei

Hey watch it now. I resemble those remarks. Well, the homo and lawyer parts, at least. Would like to have money. And would love to be evil.

I think they are missing a step. Gentrification happens because we buy homes in the ghetto then get our lesbian friends to help us remodel and poof, property values go up. Buying property that is already expensive is no fun....
