dialogue at the mirror, Value World

Me (to the woman looking on curiously as I regard the reflection of myself in a funny fringed Native American-ny decorative shoulder thing---sort of a cross between a collar and a shawl): Kind of a strange item. Don't know where I'd wear it.

Woman: Do you ever go to rock concerts? You could wear it there.

Me: True. Hmmm....

Woman: It has a slimming effect.

Me: Oh, well I wouldn't want that. (turn decisively, walk away, that-settles-that)

tee hee hee

I love when I have something at the ready on such an occasion.

ty! you, too, can commit revolution in these tiny ways... just go out each morning prepared to disrupt that crap when it comes your way overtly! perhaps that will help the goddess (willendorf, i'm thinkin') have the ready phrase in your head at the appropriate moment.

when it comes to disrupting the covert and semi-covert ways that evil perpetuates itself, the fight is much more complicated, i fear.

Too right. I find that I often lose focus in such situations and fall back on the witty comment (which may or may not further my ultimate objective--if you know what I mean) rather than the insightful observation.

BTW, I haven't seen a Big Fat Blog post in quite some time. Have any idea what's up with that?

I just realized the other week that I hadn't seen one in a long time---it'd been since, like, May! The feed changed: it's now

I feel compelled to point out that one could do worse than to be cursed with the wit of wednes. IYKWIM.
