Big Fat Hairy Living

Today on the subway, I chatted with a transsexual former US Navy neurosurgeon. She showed me the scars on her little dog from the operation she performed on it to remove its two extra sets of teeth.

Dean Esmay, conservative heterosexual blogger, writing about conservative gay pundit Andrew Sullivan’s disappointment with George W. Bush’s support of an anti-gay Constitutional admendment:

But frankly, with all due respect to PC sensibilities (i.e. none), since queer men tend to be a little more emotional than other men, you should freaking well expect a not-entirely-rational response from many of them on an issue like this.

Yes, because “queer” men tend to be “more emotional.” Someone should tell Esmay to stop writing drivel like this and go back to fucking his shrew of a wife.

CBC News: “Government officials want to reunite the stranded two-tonne killer whale with his pod several hundred kilometres to the south. But the band wants the Luna left alone. Last month, local First Nations kept the Department of Fisheries and Oceans from moving Luna. The Mowachaht-Muchalaht believe Luna embodies the spirit of their late chief, who said he would return to them in the form of a whale after he died.”

This is insanity. These idiots won’t let the government return the whale to its pod because they think it contains the spirit of their dead chief. Make the most idiotic of requests but frame it with stupid religious mumbo-jumbo and people suddenly take it seriously.

Well, I saw god reincarnated in the form of a jelly donut this morning, but Tim Horton’s still wouldn’t give it to me for free even though I told them it was my religion. How dare they deny me my god? I think I’ll sue!

Jim Kunstler, author of “Geography of Nowhere”, the famous polemic against modernism and suburbia, maintains a site with an Architectural Eyesore of the Month. Some of his comments are downright hilarious.

A hypothetical question:

Fred works for company X. Company X, generally speaking, is a good corporate citizen and operates legally and ethically. Company X is a contractor for Company Y, which also operates legally, but sells its products to foreign governments that oppress their citizens and deny them basic human rights. Company Y’s products, while not weapons, directly help these foreign governments do these things. To what degree is Company X responsible for the oppression of people in those foreign countries? To what degree is Fred responsible?

Cennetig writes, in response to “What happened to all the fat guys?”:

Get over yourself couch potato … Blue collar people know where muscles come from. They come from using your muscles. Which is automatic if you are a construction worker. If, on the other hand, you are a white collar worker then you have to take part of your free time and do some push-ups and such, which costs nothing. … I suspect I have once and for all made myself a hated man amoungst a group of people I find attractive but get tired of listening to whine. Oh well.>

To get a better idea of his response, read the whole thing. One commenter in particular, who, despite denying it, at 6′ 4″ and 260 pounds does fit within the definition of “morbidly obese,” decries guys who are fatter than him, saying that “morbidly obese chubs” are people who lack “personal accountability and discipline” and that he knows “from experience” that “genetics aren’t usually going to balloon one to such a prodiguous size, it’s a lot of junky eating and lack of movement.”

It’s really disappointing and hurtful that people who say they like big guys could write such hurtful things, basically telling us to get off our asses and stop being lazy. Yeah. I’m fat because I’m a lazy slob. Thanks for telling me the same thing I’ve heard from cruel people since kindergarten.

Update: Cennetig writes: “I know quite a few obese people, family included and two things are consistent, they eat like shit and they find every excuse imaginable to not exercise.”

In a previous entry, I posted a link to a personal ad that’s positively dripping with self-loathing. I got a comment from someone anonymous who wrote to say:

You do seem a little bit harsh. Ok so the guy is a republican and not into the gay scene. He still has every right to live is gay ole life outside the ghetto. And just as you wanna be accepted as big and hairy and out and proud, he has the right to live his quiet suburban monogamous ‘non-gay’ life. Policing other people’s ways of living is just wrong, no matter which side of the political spectrum you are on.

The more I think about that comment, the more annoyed I get with it. This anonymous person is completely out of line. The guy spends the entire personal ad reminding everyone that he’s “VERY VERY MASCULINE” and that he isn’t into the “GAY SCENE” and that he’s not looking for a “roll in the GAY HAY.” Even better, he says that he wants a “NORMAL and MASCULINE guy” who is not “into the gay scene, or thinks that because he is gay he must wear it on his sleeve, his underwear, his nose, or any other freaky part of his body.” In other words, this guy spends an entire page calling us all queer cocksucking deviant faggots, but we are the ones who are supposed to be understanding and stop “policing other people’s ways of living.” Fuck you, Mr. Anonymous. Your attitude stinks, just the way his closeted, homophobic attitude stinks.

I’m getting tired of anonymous commenters who don’t bother to sign their name. I’ve allowed anonymous commenters because not everyone has a Blogger account, but if someone can’t be bothered to spend two minutes to register to get one, then they can’t have much of interest to say. If people don’t start signing their names, or at least pseudonyms so that I know who’s commenting, I’ll just shut off the anonymous commenting feature.

Best orgy ever!
