the Washington Times is an ultra-conservative newspaper owned by the Moonies, fyi

Yeah, I was wondering about NY Post : NY Times :: Wash. Times : Wash. Post

Getting "married" sounds a lot cooler than getting married. I'm totally gonna get "married." It sounds... hmmm... sarcastic...?

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:28 (twenty-two years ago)

You may seal this marriage with a kiss," Ms. Drury added as the two women embraced.

Wacky!

― ferg (Ferg), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Hee hee. They can't kiss! They're GIRLS!!! hee hee.

― Sarah McLusky (coco), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:39 (twenty-two years ago)

"girls" vs. 'girls'

I think the "married" is in inverted commas as it is only local statute, and therefore not necessarily accepted as a marriage in the legal, governmental benefit/tax break gaining sense.

― ___ (___), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 12:46 (twenty-two years ago)

Also 'marriage' is in quotes because calling this kind of union marriage is a contradiction in terms according to how marriage has always been (and is mostly still) understood, both culturally and legally. I'm in favour of gay 'marriage', but don't see why anyone should object to people continuing to use the concept of marriage as it has always been used. That seems pretty intolerant to me - like it's activism stepping beyond a civil rights issue of trying to win people the legal status and protections they equally deserve, into an area of wishing to impose conceptual distinctions upon others in accordance with their own particular ideological leanings.

I for one welcome our new homosexual overlords.

― ferg (Ferg), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 13:10 (twenty-two years ago)

President Bush said the institute of marriage shouldn't be defined "by a few activists judges."

Yeah, I was wondering about NY Post : NY Times :: Wash. Times : Wash. Post

Well, the NY Post's circulation is more than half of the NYT's (almost as much as the Washington Post's), but the Washington Times' circulation is less than 1/7th that of the Washington Post. One is a national paper, the other isn't.

It's a riff on "The government hates black people (esp. black men) and is out to get them".

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:26 (twenty-two years ago)

ah okay I suspected that, but it would've been funnier if some sorta "driving while black" reference had been worked in somehow.

WHY DO BLACK PEOPLE NEVER WANNA ROCK1?@!@!?

*ahem* "Why does black people not want to rock?"

Donna and I admittedly were being very bad when a blind person walked through a crowd at the Akimbo show we saw when Gareth was in town and we both said to each other "Why does blind people want to rock?"

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:34 (twenty-two years ago)

DB! What if he saw you????

(NOTE: This was actually said in pretty much this exact context by my lovely wife when we were in college.)

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:36 (twenty-two years ago)

Great ambiguous use of DB there, Dan. 200 points!

― donut bitch (donut), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:38 (twenty-two years ago)

Yeah it was pretty ambiguous. At first I thought he meant "Donut Black" too.

― martin m. (mushrush), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:56 (twenty-two years ago)

I should have said "DBs!"

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 18:59 (twenty-two years ago)

Black donuts are a concept that give me pause.

Do I get NA's points now as reparations?

― VengaDan Perry (Dan Perry), Wednesday, 19 May 2004 19:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Wait, why is DB ambiguous again? Because it could be = Donna Brown?

For a split second, I thought of starting a "Favorite ILX posters with the initials DB" thread -- but then I imagined that post #12 or so would be "Deir Bongro."
