"He's On Broadway? That's Great!"
Each week, some people leave comments on this site—some of them comments that actually aren't sniping, or knee-jerk, or thoughtless, or that shouldn't maybe have been sent in an email if you thought about it for a second? (But that's fine. We're the same way probably!) Crazed commenter (and Gawker ad fella!) LolCait sifts through those comments and then celebrates the good ones that appear around them!
Spooky! Scary! No, no. I'm not talking about Halloween. I don't think sitting at home in your underpants, drinking a $6 bottle of wine and watching The Wire really counts as spooky or scary. Or, well, it does, but not in the right way. Anyway, what I am talking about is that it's already November! Can you believe it?? That means that babies born last November are already a year old! (You don't have to feed those things for, like, the first year right? Right. See Brielle, we have till the 15th!) Oh, time passes. Cartwheels turn to car wheels 'round the town. It's almost too much to bear. But, at least we have these six gleams of light to warm us as we plummet, faster and further still, into the dim, wintry abyss.

"Dull and insular? Look, I didn't put on my Nantucket Reds, Whale Belt, Topsiders, and J. Press shirt just to come down here and be mocked!" - From SUSS — in Ten Things The Gays Should Know About Joe Girardi
"To be fair, anyone can look like Vin Diesel while wearing a hat, sunglasses, and stoically pointing at an arbitrary set of coordinates in the cosmos." - From SARCASTRO in Tourists Keep Jumping Off Our Buildings
"'He's on Broadway? That's great!'
...
'Oh.'"
And, finally we have our first ever Party Pick for comment of the week. I didn't get nearly the amount of responses I was hoping for from all of you. While I hope that it's just because it's something new and, like Mike Huckabee or the pizza delivery guy, you fear change, I suspect it's because you're all horrible, self-involved people who don't want to give credit to anyone but yourselves. Well, fuck you! We're going to keep doing it anyway. So, yeah. Here's the first:
- Congratulations to IMPOSSIBLE OUTCOME who expounded in Rich White People Are the New Homeless:
"When white people find out that the government's purpose actually isn't supporting them through every hardship they will encounter in their life, it's like a child catching his father putting presents under the tree at 3am on Christmas Eve."
Political!
Let's step up the love fest for next week, k? Send me buckets and buckets of emails. [lolcait@yahoo.com]
Namaste.
