Has anyone else gotten the book yet? I'm on page 120, it's fantastic. It's a perfect response to those who don't believe illicit activities involving large numbers of people can be covered up.
The bump is gay....and that's all i have to say.

So. I guess you've led kind of
a quiet life then, huh?
Well...you know....what is a "quiet life" anyway? Have I tried to defend the council of Trent? Have I been microwaved while casually sitting at my office desk? Have I been grilled on the witness stand by a New York Times best selling author about whether or not Paul Bonacci has 64 personalities? Do I own some very beautiful photographs taken by Rusty Nelson while living with the proprietor of Trine Day Publishing? Am I moving to Paradise Lane?
The answer to all of these questions is a resounding "no"....but I have dreamed up some pretty good fiction over the course of the last 6 years since I met "Franklin" in a cementary.
And exactly what manner of business might have brought you to that cementary if you were not boot-shopping for the bumped (in the second to last definition listed on the linked page). If I may be so bold as to inquire.
So yes, I've led a quiet life. Quiet is good.
No argument here. I'm the proverbial recluse about town, myself. Virtually a hermit. Hey! Did you maybe mean "semintary"?
Because in that case, the contemplative lifestyle would quite obviously require no further explanation. I'd still have a problem with the casual teen-slang-sense use of the word "gay," though. I mean, I certainly don't condemn the use of any word
qua the word, including that one. Which is generally perfectly fine(-ish) by me when used by ironic casual teens who are aware that to numerous other casual teens, "gay" really does mean "lame, stupid, and lesser" and therefore just shouldn't be used at all when it can't be used responsibly. Or equally perfectly fine-ish in a context in which the rhetorical evocation of ironic-casual-teen-ness enhances the meaning or even just the entertainment value of the post/utterance/story/whatever-the-verbal-form-may-be.
But it's not like "hella." Or even like "nigga please." It's a very heavily freighted word. And just tossing it around when you don't know on whom it might land, especially in a thread that has man-boy pedophilia connotations and content already, is hella dubious, imo. Or, in short: Nigga, please. I do apologize if it was less than crystal clear exactly what bone I had to pick with you in my earlier post, however. My bad. My wicked mad bad, even. But since I trust you'll forgive me for that, it's all good. I guess. Or anyway, hope.
