1. Yes.
"Blank" came from the French word for "white," so I'm offended.

And so is my buddy, Phil.

6. "Mark in the black?" I cannot BELIEVE that you are
advocating the assault of African-Americans with Sharpies!

And you call yourself a liberal. Shame on you.

14. Doesn't matter if you mean it or not, you're still
supposed to be ashamed, dammit!

Oh, wait a minute, I forgot: That's the GD rule, and this is the Lounge.

OK, you may go now.

11. Glad to hear it!
Happy early Birthday!

I'm doing pretty well, trying not to stress about house-buying and all, but ready to be done with it. Enjoying hangin' out tonight and just relaxing, having a glass of wine, and playing on DU!
