Apologies for the delays and absences of late: owing to outsourcing (India) at mycompany, we are getting laid off, all of us or most of us, the news changes every day. The severance package looks better every day too! Nonetheless, even as I muse over months of paid vacation, I feel I ought to attempt anyway to retain employment, or at least make money on overtime, so I've not had as much time.
Anyway, to today's sinner: Mr. Humboldt. You are very cute and are probably capable of seducing suitors of all sorts. Well, of all penguin sorts--you're not quite my type. We're not asking that you give up your gayness. We're proud of you, really. It's just that the survival of your species depends on you right now. Can't you at least get really drunk and dally with a hen? We'll post a picture of your special friend on the wall if it helps. If you don't like it, that's fine. We never have to go there again.
Out and proud
I'm not asking you to do anything I haven't done myself. Turns out I'm straight, but at least now I know, Mr. Humboldt, and from experience. Open minds, Mr. Humboldt, open minds.
When I was a lass of five, a nun told me that in order to get into heaven I had to be absolutely perfect--a saint. So I better start trying, she implied.
Fuck that shit. I dedicate this small piece of the web to celebrating sinners, the more unabashed the better, who bravely row against the current of religious tyranny. I meant it to be daily, but it's harder than you'd think to find quality sinners. They should ideally be non-repentent, shameless, proud. If the powers that be are trying to ban them, all the better. But I'd like to add that I'm not looking for assholes either. Sin and sincerity go together well, and sinfulness and sweetness are not mutually exclusive, as anyone who's ever had a Vosges truffle well knows. And piety's such a bore! So leave your sanctimony at the door, and nominate some A-plus sinners!
