Gay Tivos
From this post http://brooding-soul.livejournal.com/724464.html by

My supervisor said that his Tivo knows he's gay because, and I quote, "I guess I’ve spent too much time on the WB and Bravo networks. Toss in Janice Dickenson’s Modeling Agency and the cheesy monster movies on Sci Fi where viewers are bound to see pretty men running about in various states of frightened undress, and it’s no wonder I’ve confused my electronic devices."
I replied, "Thank God I don't have TiVo to observe what I watch. I watch more ABC Family than I care to admit (7th Heaven reruns, Gilmore Girls reruns, Kyle XY), the WB (GG), Bravo (Project Runway, Top Chef, Kathy Griffin) and MTV (Made, Next, My Super Sweet 16). Oh, and don't forget Disney channel. Had I a TiVo, it would spontaneously turn pink and record with a lisp."

in that case, we'd better hope that it's a prince.

Context prefers its cleavage frog-free, thank you.

Now, I have saved the best for last. Our final contestant is representing the great state of Ohio, and girls, is he ever a winner!! I'm not kidding. John is the Man With No Punctuation and a fine, fine writer. He has a 15-year-old duaghter named Larua, and is presumably dyslexic. I'm not totally sure what he's trying to say here, but I do have to give him props for most creative use of the verb "is." At least..I think that's what he means.
Last, but certainly far from least, I bring you...JOHN:
hello beautifull angelI do have to agree, that this guy needs someone to "take care" of him, because he clearly is not capable of doing that on his own. He is online waiting for me. I hope he didn't wait long.

Context needs a date.
On Lance Bass' coming out:
"Sure, it's stating the obvious half a decade after the world figured out the story. But for every young boy who wants to grow up to be a singing and dancing gay astronaut? We now have a poster child." -

"shed" is not just a place to keep tools or wood.
Sayeth
lwood in this post, on the nature of cats shedding:
One other side effect of the now-slowly-breaking heat wave is that the cats are now losing their wooly winter undercoats.
With great enthusiasm.
Over everything.
The hair is just barely too short to spin worth a damn, which is a shame because otherwise I could knit whole new cats.

Secrets are like puppies?
"i think this is actually the longest i have ever been able to keep a surprise secret from the person it was meant for. i just get so excited that i ruin them. kind of like when a dog gets excited and pees a little, right on your new area rug that you just fucking bought, and when you get out the steam cleaner it fucking blows out the circuit breaker, and now you have to go to the hardware store when all you were trying to do was come home and kick back after work and maybe have a beer or two, but no, the dog had to lose bladder control right in the geographic center of the fucking area rug."
shoiryu's take on fandom vs slash:
Or maybe being aware of one's own homosexuality means that the moment that little pink lightbulb goes off over your head, your cock suddenly falls into another man's anus. How awkward. - here

From Fourcorners, complaining about the heat.
I suspect that it's directly above Hell. Maybe one day I'll find a seared handle in the floor, pull it, and hey, there's dudes on fire down there. I'll pour some ice water down there in the hopes that it help my karma a little bit. One sinner will be like, "hey, you think you have a heat problem...don't suppose you have any Eskimo Pies up there?" Eventually I'll be caught distributing contraband ice cream (a controlled substance in Hell) and be forced to perform 40 hours of community temptation service for Old Nick. Kinda like normal community service, except it's spent urging people to engage in more vices.
Whole thing here
