Ah, now we're getting some heart from ya. And all it took was a gross exaggeration from me. I feels powerful goodly cool! Just in case you don't get it, I get your curtness -- it's a geek thing. Seen it a million times. Can you see the fear behind the brevity of your responses? It comes from programming in your mom's basement -- in the dark with just a cardboard pizza to gnaw on. You're addicted to being precise instead of emotionally expansive. Understandable, but you're shrinking from those who "run hot" because you're afraid of all that shit inside you that wants to run hot too.... Show us your rage, dude -- if anyone has a truckload of it, you must -- what openly gay person hasn't been shit on a million times -- that's a heap o' unrequitedness. And, geeze, you've probably had another million veggie brains in Fairfield turn a haughty gaze on ya for Godzilla's stomp on Bambi, and you're a geek to boot. Man, three time's the charm -- let's have it. We're waiting for your primal scream. And, Alex, take the vow. I'd vote for ya. Hell, Meow'd vote for ya. Edg
