early blogs

” alt=”null” />Several minutes ago I was visiting the latrine of a very secluded corner of the American stock exchange. Many of he guys down here will go there to get a little privacy when big movements are imminent. As I sat there, without a paper to read, I found myself reading the back of the door. I could not believe how much there was to read. Then it occurred to me that most of the posts to the wall were responded to and then someone would respond to the response. It went like, “lucy from post x is a slut”…..”I did her”…..”I’ll kick your ass if you say another thing about her”….” Yeah well bring it on dude”….blah blah blah.
This must be how blogs began. The content has improved yet the concept is the same. Kind of a “here is a neat little tid bit of info I thought some of you might enjoy reading and feel free to comment” thing.

    Surely you should share this intellectual theory with some of the preeminent lecturers on this topic. I dare you to email conservative homo (Is there such a thing?) Andrew Sullivan’s blog on your findings…

    Yeah, the abe log cabin homos. I know quite a few here in the city. There are quite a few gay republican politicans too, but I don’t know how they support their party, when their party is quite against them. It’s the Gary Bauers, Jerry Falwells (he has his own law school for Christ sake http://law.liberty.edu/) and the Pat Roberstons of the the Repub. Party that hate the homo agenda.

    The Log Cabins got their name b/c there have always been historical rumors that Old Honest Abe was a big homo…

    I still fondly remember many favorite bits of graffiti I’ve read over the years in stalls. In my freshman dorm, one of the stalls in my wing’s bathroom had the following written vertically: You are now shitting at a 45 degree angle.
