You're a sizeist!   :o

I wish I'd taken more "little people's studies" courses in college.
It only takes one semester.  It's a very short course.



And who says Vaudeville's dead.

We should go out on the road. We'd kill 'em in Peoria!

Yes.  I was born in a trunk at the Princess Theater in Pocatello, Idaho.
Judy is that you???
I can see November 2 from my house!!!

Spread my work ethic, not my wealth.

Forget change, bring back common sense.

No, my friends, there’s only one really progressive idea. And that is the idea of legally limiting the power of the government. That one genuinely liberal, genuinely progressive idea — the Why in 1776, the How in 1787 — is what needs to be conserved. We need to conserve that fundamentally liberal idea. That is why we are conservatives. --Bill Whittle

No.  She died on this date 39 years ago.  It was an "accident".

I was never a fan of JG.  The woman made me nervous and jumpy.  She could be funny, though.

You forgot Furries

Furries are a whole subset that's apart from the Original Alphabet Soup (GLBTQIA).

What in the hell is GLBT?

oh let me tell you... that aint the half of it. the full title is thus:

GLBTQIT

gay/lesbian/bi/transexual/queer/intersexed/transitioning  and i'm sure i missed some new ones.

'heteronormative' is a new one... i was hoping to cling to heterophobia for a while longer.  :popcorn:
The Q is for questioning.  Queer encompasses the whole thing.

in England is it ok to say "queer" ..? cause, here i think its basically like the "n word" ... the gays can use it, but nobody else can.

Thanks. I expect that won't include those of us with garden variety conservative leaning gay friends, I'll need to sell them on the idea of facial piercings to up my street cred.  :-)

Typical DUmmy(or "typical white person" as Obama would say) with no job and a worthless degree. Another criminal waste of taxpayer money.

Yes, but the context is everything it's a complete minefield, but it's fine to talk about Queer studies or Queer theory etc.

Giant Legume Bartering Tournament, I think.  It's like curling.  Or that French game where they throw heavy metals balls at the grass.  One of those "sports" that doesn't even show up on ESPN2.

It might make The Ocho though.

I'm in a bit of a glass house here, with a degree in English and everything, but what kind of living does the OP expect to make with the above degree?

Is there a company in the country who would hire someone with that degree??

Payments to foreign governments must be reduced, if the nation doesn't want to go bankrupt. People must again learn to work, instead of living on public assistance.”

Field studies in San Francisco.
Come to think of it, unions do create jobs. Companies have to hire two workers to do the work of one.
