... so my choice is "or death?"

[apocalypsos]

So I stop at the grocery store across the street from my job before work to pick up snacks and while I'm checking out the sushi lunches they have for sale, this guy is standing next to me talking into a cell phone saying, "Yeah, he's thinking of leaving the country. America's going downhill fast, I'm telling you. I'm thinking about leaving myself."

I was sorely tempted to ask what he meant by that, but I knew the two options were:

a.) health care reform sets puppies on fire and he wants to go to another where the government doesn't take so much of his hard-earned money for taxes like they do here, in which case ... uh, I hear Somalia's nice this time of year; OR ...

b.) he's terrified some teabagging fuckwit with explosive devices is going to try some shit and get a ton of people killed and he wants to get the fuck out before it's his ass at the wrong end of a boomstick, in which case ... can I come with? And does he know of an empty British or Canadian couch we can sleep on?

Either way ... eh, that store's sushi is revolting anyway.

Also, Ricky Martin announced he's gay. Okay, fandom, somebody write the porn where he fucks Adam Lambert. You know you want to, fandom, because you want everybody to fuck Adam. And thank the Flying Spaghetti Monster for that. :D

Yeah, where exactly does he think he's gonna go?

Also, Ricky Martin announced he's gay.

Or, as I said on Facebook: This just in from the "No Shit, Sherlock" deparment...

The first comment was one being tired of "soft outings" (see also: Clay Aiken), and the next was another asking for more shocking outings (she specifically named Harrison Ford and George Clooney as two that would be pretty surprising). My contribution was to add that Kimbo Slice outing himself would be pretty surprising.

Like anne_jumps said, I always wonder where people like that think they're going to move to.

Fingers crossed for option (b), I guess?


(Aw, Ricky. I actually hadn't heard! I am pleased.)

My Canadian couch is available for American runaways :P
Also, I thought Ricky Martin came out like two years ago... weren't there pictures of him on the beach with his boyfriend?

[apocalypsos.livejournal.com]

Yeah, but I guess he hasn't officially come out until now. He used to be "No, I'm straight" and that segued to "I'd prefer not to talk about it" and that's now segued to "Yup, I'm gay."

ahaha, ok

Howabout people who just want to visit the awesomeness of Canada? I promise I won't be a jackass and ask the border guard where the sking is during July. I also will not make fun of your Monopoly money while in Canada. Only while safely in America where your igloo-living hockey playing 'eh' saying thugs can't get me. Eh?

[oaktree89.livejournal.com]

That sounds fine, eh ;)

Britain's worse.

... I know no one ever believes me when I say that but believe me, we are in a hole so deep at the moment that the only way out is to keep going DOWN.

Haaa! That was my first thought when hubby told me about Ricky. "Where's the Ricky Martin/Adam Lambert porn?"

At this point, I'd only be shocked if Neil Patrick Harris announced he was straight.

Well, from the outside it really does look a lot like your economy is pretty much fucked. Particularly as you just failed to plug the gaping chasm that is your healthcare system. So they may have been referring to that.

Still, I wonder where they imagine they'll go. Your previous administration was amazing at making enemies, so US people aren't particularly popular anywhere at the moment.

And it's always the really ravening jackasses who say they will leave.

Notice how they never promise to take anyone with them? Really noble there.

'thank the flying spaghetti monster' officially made me snort coffee out through my nose. lol.

[dawning-star.livejournal.com]

I blame you for this.

But the image is pretty.
