Tennant fills apartment with poop-

Good lord! I thought I had some odd tenants! Last week, this woman who is a flight attendant called me and told me she spent 30 minutes in her car in the parking lot because there was a lizard [anole, commonly called a "chameleon"] in front of her door, and it wouldn't let her in! She waited 30 minutes until someone else showed up so they could chase it away.

!

-You stamp your foot or move toward them and they are gone before your foot hits the ground! Countless boys have come to Florida on visits and captured these tiny lizards. I like to catch one occasionally, flick it on the head so that it will open its mouth...and then put the open mouth on my ear lobe, where it promptly becomes an earring. They will hang there for a few minutes before they drop off and run away. My little relatives from up north are delighted by this, so we wind up catching a few [unfortunate] lizards and attaching them to tiny earlobes....

"Daddy, look! I've got earrings!", as tiny reptiles dangle from his ears.

OH no, not Rita! Good lord, a lizard that weighs 2 ounces is enough to keep her in her Passat for 1/2 an hour! She's a flight attendant for an airline that shall stay nameless; I want to ask her if the airplane she's on runs off the end of the runway...if she sees a lizard, is she going to freeze up and let the passengers die?

Enough about my flaky tenants. This following, from CNN, will make you sick. And it will explain why I call my home state "Flori-DUH"!

N!

Sounds like my wife...

She has an extreme fear of lizards of all types. This from a girl that has been all over the world, kayaked huge water, etc. Once on a trip out west, I chased her with a blade of grass sticking out of my cupped hands. I thought she was going to kill me when I told her what it was.

On the poop story, that's gross. Theory was that they were huffing FERMENTED SEWAGE???!! WTHF?!?!

I guess if you're one of those "alternative lifestyle" types who's into scat and golden showers maybe it isn't so bad. For the rest of us more "normal" types however...

Have you ever noticed that people tend to "reveal" themselves to you? Especially if you are like me, a person who is a good listener.

It's funny how some people bring things up in conversations. I worked with a guy about 15 years ago who was the biggest "horn-dog" you could imagine, and he [50 years old] got a lot of action with some really hot babes. I don't know how he did it- he had the gift of gab I guess. Anyway, at every other turn this guy was talking about drag queens. He was all over the Hooters issue in 1995; some men sued Hooters because they wanted to be Hooters guys, and he put a bumper sticker on his car that said "Hooters Guys? Washington, get a grip!". EVERY Halloween this guy was in full drag, and folks- it was just a BIT too good. His makeup was perfect, and he even told us that he did it himself....

Sometimes people reveal themselves to you. You just have to listen a little bit. And think about what they are saying between the lines....

I'm a very tolerant person. Jewish ancestry, along with catholic and protestant. I have at least one Asian ancestor, since my fathers family is Slavic, and Mongolians raped their way across Eastern Europe 800 years ago. And I have two black relatives via marriage which all means that my parents taught me tolerance a long time ago. While I CANNOT STAND flight attendants [!], the male FA's are always the best. Gay people aren't treated right, and I'm quick to defend them because a bunch of religious idiots run around and try to deny them their rights under the 14th amendment to the US Constitution. I've been in a stable heterosexual relationship for 11 years, and have absolutely nothing to prove at all.

However....the individual known as "Porsche-O-Phile" continually pastes the label "gay" on me. Fine. I'm gay, I can suck the chrome off of a trailer hitch. Happy? Really, half the things out of his keyboard are things about "gay" people. Gay, gay, gay, gay, gay. Porsche-O-Gay loves to talk about gay people! In a recent thread on this website, a person who normally doesn't post finally came down on him: "For someone who supposedly doesn't care, you sure do spend a lot of time calling him gay!", or something along these lines.

I wonder if someone is in the closet and fighting. Not fighting me....but fighting himself?

Again....people tend to "reveal" themselves to you-

You are correct! Did you hear the slide on the pump shotgun go back when it racked the shell in the chamber? Hope so as that would be the last thing someone coming in my door should hear.... you and your boyfriend included.

To be fair to Porsche-O-Phile, it seems you "pasted that label" on yourself.

As you say, people do tend to "reveal" themselves.

I think there is nothing wrong with being gay. Who cares? I think it's a shame that there's still such a stigma about it that so many people still feel they have to hide it and try to deny it. It must be a terrible way to live, and it shouldn't be that way.

Care to elaborate how you think that I've pasted that label on myself?
