This week was depressing in news and everyone had to get real serious for a moment, so there weren’t that many funny comments. But you guys Santana is a lesbian. Everyone rejoice. I’ve never even seen an episode of Glee.
Some other special things from this week: Anton Hysen came out and Lindsay tells you why this is super important, we did a feature on Bklyn Boihood which makes everyone want to move to NYC, we had a mini-interview with Hesta Prynn who got her name from the book The Scarlet Letter which I read two summers ago and hated, Sister Spit is going on tour and you need to go, and DeAnne Smith reminisces on the unfashionable-ness of lesbians of yore.
Also here is a summer music festival guide which is a BFD for some people.
AND it was A;ex Vega’s birthday on Tuesday! Pure poetry week forever.

I wish I was a rich gay. I’d totally love to spend a shit-ton of money on wedding favors and tuxedos… alas, (one day) it will probably end up being in a public park followed by a night out at the roller derby and a tailgate party finale in a bush somewhere. Oh yes… in a bush somewhere.

I bet you if the various sleeping pics were made into a stop-action movie, we could set it to a Lady Gaga song & the dance could be called “The Ladalex Gavega Dance” & it would be sooooo epic.

Have you guys seen the 4th season of Angel? Because yeah. This bears a striking resemblance.
thats pretty sad. ive never watched that.
merci emily!
Guys, last night was TERRIBLE and not even terrible/awesome. I fell down while skating (sober) and wasn’t wearing wrist guards cuz I’m an ass and broke my wrist and I have no job or insurance or pain meds right now and I am miserable! But these did make me giggle…
ELLI I WISH I COULD GIVE YOU DRUGS
My momma is bringing me darvocet? to her bday dinner tonight :)
when i got hit by a car, bcw made me take ibuprofen and i was like, whatever, because i’m a TANK and i need like 5 iburpofen to cure a headache so what the hell is that going to do for legitimately excruciating pains but you know what it actually worked. i think it’s the first time something over the counter has made a serious impact on what i perceived to be an incurable situation.
also, marijuana?
also you can go to the ER, they’re legally obligated to fix you and if you never pay your bill it won’t show up on your credit report.
I spent almost 5 hours in the ER last night. Turns out they only do temp casts there now, they don’t set bones or do full casts so I have to go to an ortho on Monday. $500 deposit due upfront!
:( i am giving you an imaginary plush tiger that is holding an imaginary plush sign that says, “rawr (get well soon)” i hope you do though.
You fuckin serious? I’m in the wrong racket.
that last sentence is the most useful information I’ve read online all week.
Because Elli is not likely to do this herself: http://apps.facebook.com/fundrazr/activity/4e3d044b48db48f0bf8934a3e587663d
Can I just say how much i love the comment awards. Thanks so much Emily! =]
aww this makes me so happy!
so…i’ll just get started on the ladalex gavega dance video yes?
I will oversee this project the way Alex would.
asleep in skinny pants?
Precisely, or no jeans.
believe it or not, that’s not the first time i’ve won an award called The Weirdest Shit Ever award.
thanks chooster, AS team, et al. vous etes tellement fines :)
i like that i won this award with you, and friends. i think this says something about us.
is this because you witnessed me and jader legitimately discussing the joys of pooping for like twenty solid minutes
but not too solid
yeah, see i forgot about that. but it just cements the fact that you deserved this award. where’s jader? she should get celebratory cake and then turn it into poop. she’ll be thrilled.
said celebratory cake has been consumed, now just waiting on the celebratory poop.
Seriously guys? I had forgotten all about the poop conversation. It was a blissful existence, shattered anew by your poo talk part two.
well i mean you had to expect a number two
I was really hoping you were going to call me a party pooper.
i was going to, but i had a change of shart.
All this talk is making me want to queef.
clever, plus 1 for the rhyming.
terracottatoes, your wit always amazes me.
I saw this comments sidebar misread it as:
“terracottatoes, you tits always amaze me”
#thoughtyoushouldknow
well, maybe that too, we know what tits are made of…. :)
Kittens?
close. kittens are made of kittens, but tits are made of win.
well, that too.
For the longest time, the tagline on my tumblr was “come for the tits, stay for the wit.” APT.
thanks chooster. i am glad you enjoy my fecal puns. my life now has purpose.
these awards did make me happy, no false advertisement here.
Thank you! :D
The quiche’s subversive nature is often undervalued. I’m glad Emily and autostraddle can appreciate it’s radical redefinition of pie.
Can anyone give me the Ezekiel reference that MJ mentioned? That would be awesome.
I believe it’s Ezekiel 16:17, earlier in the chapter god had metaphorical sex with israel/jerusalem/someone and broke her metaphorical hymen; yeah, it’s a kind of strange chapter. MJ’s reference to equine-like genitals is from Ezekiel 23:20
Yeah, it’s Ezekiel 16:17. I posted it on my facebook saying “Awards for best bible verses, READY SET GO” and have since discovered that a good tagline for Ezekiel would be “The Book of Ezekiel: Basically, You’re all Whores”.
Also check out Ezekiel 23:20. It might take you a minute.
I get the award for redundancyyyyyy
