"i find it ridiculous to assign a gender to an inanimate object incapable of disrobing and making an occasional fool of itself. why refer to lady crack pipe or good sir dishrag when these things could never live up to all that their sex implied?" "all my life, one person or another has been telling me to behave, saying don't let a guy know you're a depressed maniac on the first date, don't just be yourself, don't show your feelings. and the truth is, this is probably good advice, men probably don't like overbearing , hotheaded women who give blowjobs on the first date." "But at the end of the day, you can't major in Making Stuff, so it was Art by default."

I beheld: melting lop-sided Umbrian? hillsides, nudes run over by the Cubist Express, suburban-surrealist flower ladies going about their daily tasks weeping blood tears the size of water balloons, and kittens. Yes, kittens. I thought, 'Now these people hate Art a lot. This is where I belong. Perfect.'"
oh, and dan savage. "When two people marry, they're not only making a solemn vow to be there in good times and bad, in sickness and in health, but also to be complete and total whores for each other. It would save countless marriages—and cut my mail in half—if this was made explicit in standard marriage vows. Perhaps the American Family Association could get on this."
