No, cotton candy is.

I'm not sure even long-married couples i know would describe their union as dessert.

More like smelling the turkey and wondering how much mustard it will take to make the sandwich edible. Some days.

More like fingering the tuna to see how much mayo you need to add to make it wetter and less fishy.

cunnilingus ah um (The Reverend), Saturday, 30 March 2013 00:32 (thirteen years ago)

Doctor Casino, Saturday, 30 March 2013 00:42 (thirteen years ago)

you guys should never be celebrity chefs.

I shouldn't be any kind of chef. I regret the post.

I only regret every post I ever post on ILX.

As it turns out, it would seem that the conservative members of the court, making a calculation that their chances of winning would not improve with time, were behind the decision to take up the volatile subject. The aha moment came on Tuesday. After Justice Anthony M. Kennedy suggested that the court should dismiss the case, Justice Antonin Scalia tipped his hand. “It’s too late for that now, isn’t it?” he said, a note of glee in his voice.
“We have crossed that river,” he said.

Spotted thx to comment activity on FB:

This is why I almost don't click on any gay marriage-related article posted on FB by people who are leftier than thou.

never minded anti-HRC material though

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 1 April 2013 15:56 (thirteen years ago)

Tantrum city.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 15:57 (thirteen years ago)

not an Onion story:

Sue Everhart has sounded an ominous warning that legalization of same-sex marriage may also lead to fraud. “You may be as straight as an arrow, and you may have a friend that is as straight as an arrow,” Everhart said. “I mean, what would prohibit you from saying that you’re gay, and y’all get married and still live as separate, but you get all the benefits?"

the little prince of inane false binary hype (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Monday, 1 April 2013 15:59 (thirteen years ago)

like people don't do this with opposite sex marriages

sometimes tantrums are justified, Eric

Pope Rusty I (Dr Morbius), Monday, 1 April 2013 16:02 (thirteen years ago)

Um, I'm very much looking forward to the day I'm allowed to marry a straight man.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 16:02 (thirteen years ago)

hear hear

Has Sue Everhart never heard of community property or alimony?

Aimless, Monday, 1 April 2013 17:42 (thirteen years ago)

Hey straight guys with health insurance, I'm sexy and single.

cunnilingus ah um (The Reverend), Monday, 1 April 2013 17:57 (thirteen years ago)

I have health insurance and an extra bedroom.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 17:59 (thirteen years ago)

I also think way too highly of myself.

Skepticism that makes sense:

Here's an interesting one

http://www.azfamily.com/news/Gay-son-doesnt-change-congressmans-view-on-gay-marriage-200686251.html

The context here is that Rep. Salmon, a typical enough hard-right social con (from Arizona, but of course!) directly states that he not only loves his son and all but as noted here he doesn't think that his son being gay was a question of choice of lifestyle either. I'm wondering both how much more common this view might get and whether it'll have any actual traction. It might, but what's got my attention about this -- and a lot of other things we're seeing -- is how people from an all-or-nothing viewpoint are now stuck parsing and reaching for nuance, where before they never or barely have been able to. On that level what follows will be intriguing...

Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 April 2013 18:07 (thirteen years ago)

my father!

You political scion, you dynast.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 1 April 2013 18:11 (thirteen years ago)

Shades of Blanche's ability to accept Clayton being gay but only so long as he doesn't date men.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 18:12 (thirteen years ago)

Skepticism that makes sense:

I'm not sure about that. She clearly expresses her fears, but does not cite enough facts to give her fears substance. When you put her rhetoric aside and analyze each sentence, it reduces itself to highly articulate hand-wringing about an imagined future. When I set this against the very factual denial of civil rights in DOMA, I find those actual damages more compelling than her imaginary ones.

Aimless, Monday, 1 April 2013 18:23 (thirteen years ago)

OK, it makes more sense than presuming that everyone who changed their profile pics last week actively hates trannies.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 18:32 (thirteen years ago)

I do like Daryl Hall though!

eric: call me. can we do this as a long-distance thing? do you have an uncle that can marry us? do you have blue cross?

The longer the distance, the better. Nope on BCBS, but maybe we can work something out.

alternately mean and handsy (Eric H.), Monday, 1 April 2013 19:10 (thirteen years ago)
