But you can have it all! You just need to help me prioritize when. :-)

Actually I’d switch numbers (1) and (2), because I know some of the backstory already on the Muslim boys thing and it’s hilarious/fascinating/weird and I want to hear more of your deconstructions of it, and because the Hillary thing is likely to piss me off, so why rank getting pissed off as my top want?

I’ll take chevre, please. ;-)

Tich is, apparently, an alternate spelling of “titch” and has its roots in 19th Century England. Who knew?

I think “sit down and shut up” is a really non-productive and, frankly, offensive thing to say about her.

:-D Like I said, how many feminist feathers can I ruffle? No one cared when I said John Edwards needed to sit down and shut up. Hillary Clinton gets equal treatment. ;-)

And if you want to conform to some of the worst blogger stereotypes, absolutely blog about your lack of bathing.

Heh. So, totally not what that post is about. Not really.

I take it your priorities are ranked thusly: (1)my anti-Hillary post, (2)the Muslim boys and bathing only if I must? ;-)

Wow, you’ve been blogging for only three months* and already you are succumbing to the immortal blogger whine! Would you like some cheese with that?

You don’t want to know how many posts I have languishing as drafts. Not to mention the ones that are just in my head, uncommitted even to draft mode, as I haven’t been arsed to actually type them out.

I like the word “tich.” Did you make that up? Is it Yiddish?

Anyway, I think you should definitely blog about the feminism thing, even though you and I might very well get into it about Hillary. You know I’m an Obama supporter. But I think Hillary has taken a lot of shit and I think “sit down and shut up” is a really non-productive and, frankly, offensive thing to say about her.

Also please blog about the cultural stereotypes, Muslim boys, touching, etc. That is fascinating (and amusing) stuff.

And if you want to conform to some of the worst blogger stereotypes, absolutely blog about your lack of bathing.
