Telling feminists that lesbian porn typically passes the Bechdel test is a good way to troll them.

My grandfather is dying. He'd been hospitalized for a heart attack, but when I saw him on Sunday it looked like he would pull through. He's taken a dramatic turn for the worse since, and the doctors say he has at most three weeks to live. Frankly, given the number of warning lights on the monitor and how erratic his breathing was, I don't really expect him to see sunrise tomorrow.

I'm sorry, man.

I remember when my grandparents died--in this case, they got picked off by cancer one at a time. They all went down really slowly and painfully.

Damn if I know if either way's the better way for it to happen.

Lesbian porn wouldn't pass the Bechdel test unless it has dialogue. I'm not an expert, but I would think a substantial amount of lesbian porn would fail on that count.

EDIT: Not only do I have a new computer, but I just moved into a new place. This will be the first time in about 4 years I've had my own room and I am crazy excited.

At around 2am tomorrow morning, it will have been exactly 22 years since I was rudely pulled out of my mother and into this cruel, uncaring world.

Ancient, what do you use to be notified when your name is mentioned on the Den? Google? Frequent site searches? Voodoo witch magic?

It's voodoo witch magic, isn't it?

Anyway.

I'm getting older. And my heart attack scare earlier this year was a bit of a wake-up call.

It's not like I'm -that- unhealthy, but I do have a hereditary history of heart anomalies. And if you want to feel old, have a burning pop in your chest when you bend over, which makes your vision instantly black out while you shudder your way down to the floor to keep from outright falling.

Actually I'm genuinely curious as to how old people like PR and Elensar were. Youth does a lot to one's internet mannerisms, but they could just as easily have been crazy old coots (see Tzor)

I've always imagined everyone on the Den to be over ninety and filled with a lifetime's worth of bitterness and regret, yelling at their ever diminishing pension checks and scaring children on the street shitless about pointless things from long ago that no one but them cares about with pointed burnished sticks to help relieve the stress of their ever more painful last days.

Lets see...
Over 90? Nope.
Filled with a lifetime's worth of bitterness and regret? Yep.
Yell at ever diminishing check? Oh yeah.
Scaring children shitless on the street? Definitely.

Three out of four ain't bad, Shrap. Anyone else want to check themselves?
