Could an e-Marriage be the next big thing?
A pair of law professors at Michigan State University think that States should extend to Marriage licensing, the same servicing they do to say, business licensing.
Bill Maher: Repeal DADT Because It’s The Right Thing To Do And Because It Was Promised In Your Campaign (Video).
Just placed my order with Skreend for my custom t-shirt for the National Equality March in Washington DC this weekend – hope they can get it made in time! Joe gave me his word they’d give it their best effort to have it done today – keeping my fingers crossed.
Update:Â This afternoon the fine folks [...]
So… Michelangelo Signorile posted on Facebook today a contest to name a special drink for the National Equality March meetup Saturday … I replied with the Absolut Equality … so what’s in an Absolut Equality? Good question …. how does equal parts Absolut Vodka, Cranberry juice, and Lemonade sound? Sounds good to [...]
A funny thing happened on the way to today’s Presidential address to public school children in this country. The right wing worked itself into a frenzy over President Obama’s message of personal responsibility and continued education. Parents appeared on local news stations across the land, all concerned that their child would be exposed to these [...]
This is just too cute – if only I used a calendar .. maybe I could finally get organized enough to take over the world.

Thanks to Michelangelo Signorile via Facebook for this new rule:
New rule: when a republican attacks gay marriage, lets assume he’s cheating on his wife.
Apparently Tennessee thinks it’s OK to “fix” gay students but not let them know that it’s normal and OK to BE gay.

Irony in the form of humor can impress upon an observer, an understanding otherwise difficult to achieve due to preformed opinions.

This was fun…. this is the best quality I could find on YouTube, although it’s completely reversed – all the others were really poor quality.
Update: Looks like YouTube has removed the video …

Caught the latest art work from local guerilla artist Vinchen while out for a walk at lunch today.

Sometimes a political cartoonist hits it out of the park – I’m a HUGE fan of Tom Toles – having grown up in Western New York, and read his work in the Buffalo Evening News for years. I haven’t been much of a fan of Jeff Stahler in The Columbus Dispatch, but today’s cartoon is [...]
The Supreme Court of the State of California ruled today that the laws of the state limiting marriage to members of the opposite sex are unconstitutional, and that the state has no compelling interest in retaining the traditional definition of marriage. Extra extra, read all about it!
The 4-3 decision, will certainly bring with it [...]
So, the advice my doctor gave me a few years ago, that I asked to get in writing, but which he refused to provide, is now backed up by research – the scientific kind even. Masturbation may prevent prostate cancer.

The title is a quote from Thomas Jefferson. We’ve been watching the HBO special John Adams, and I was looking for a title for this posting, so I started reading some quotes from Thomas Jefferson over at BrainyQuote.com.

These photoshop tutorials on youtube are pure genius! Donnie tells you how bad you are at photoshop – you suck after all – but your life is probably better than his miserable existence, his wife left him, and he takes out his feelings of inadequacy on you the sucky photoshop user.

Sure it’s April 1st, and we all know what that means, but I just wasn’t concerned with being fooled this morning when checking my email, usually stuff there, lots of newsletters, and ads. So I’m casually looking at the Geeks.com email that’s selling a Retina reader/scanner thingy for $49.99, and wondering what the heck [...]

It’s melting … the snow that is, and it’s almost time to get the motorcycle out – after all the price of gasoline isn’t getting any lower … ugh. Â The weather was beautiful today – but I was stuck in training all day – although the trainer took us all out for Mexican food for [...]
So the day starts out all nice and normal, and I didn’t get stuck in the driveway with the remaining snow on the road as I trekked to my training this morning.
And then it shows up this afternoon, on the overhead projector in the class, during a break, the instructor is surfing the news sites [...]

O’Reilly: To “cluster” gays near children is “insane” and “inappropriate”How ridiculous the right wing radicals are – this proves the right wing’s objection to Gay Marriage is not based on anything other than the fact that they don’t want Gay Americans to be accepted in society, period.That’s the real objection they have – if you’re [...]
Well, as promised here’s the pictures from this year’s Pride parade.
It’s going to be a whirl wind summer – we’re going to Gay Days at Disney World this weekend – M.I.C. see you real soon…Have our tickets for the True Colors Tour – with Cyndi Lauper and Erasure, and many more performers… mid-month.New Gallup poll says America is starting to respect it’s queers – yeah [...]
Un-f*ckin’ believable … Melinda Doolittle voted off … I’ve never really been into this show, but her talented performances kept me tuning in to see her… a true Diva, and a shame that she didn’t get her deserved Idol victory.
Just purchased our flights to San Fran for a vacation this year, we’ll be there for the Pride parade – looking forward to visiting the Left coast again, and SF for the first time.Plenty of travel ahead this year, Gay Days in Orlando in early June, Pride in SF later in June, and Ft. Lauderdale [...]
Thanks everyone for turning out to turn this Government around in it’s tracks, and stop the culture of corruption, by reinstating the Constitutional checks and balances that by their very nature help to prevent the abuses of power we’ve seen these past years from the Bush Administration.My cellphone ringer is now set to play the [...]
The Gays have finally gone and done it ….destroyed the Republican party from within … who knew the Gay Agenda included infiltrating the GOP and forcing it to it’s knees right before a mid-term election? Did you get that memo? I must have missed those meetings.
So now there’s talk about who else in [...]
So I’m in Houston this week attending the HP Technology Forum, and noticing on my bus rides how no one has any “Bush/Cheney” or “W/04″ stickers on their cars here … I thought this was deep in the heart of Texas? Hell I see more of those damn stickers in Hilliard Ohio than here [...]
Wow! I’m thoroughly and utterly disgusted at ABC’s ficticious retelling of the history of 9/11 – the towers are still standing after being hit by the two planes, and Bush is on TV announcing the tragedy, and seeking a moment of silence … what? No “My Pet Goat” … no 7 minutes of sitting [...]

Charlie and I went to the Pride parade yesterday … click on our photo to see all 205 of the pictures we took combined:
Couple of things I noticed this year, the venomous wild eyed street preachers were down near the convention center this year instead of the State House, and the parade seems to be [...]
In relating to his proposals for dealing with illegal immigration, that we’re a country of immigrants, and “we’re not going to discriminate against anyone”.Imagine my disgust, that he finds it unacceptable to discriminate against illegal immigrants, yet it’s perfectly fine to discriminate against natural born gay and lesbian citizens. This man has no shame.
Speak it, and it comes to pass … Rival marriage measures vie in ColoradoBut let’s get serious now, I’m sick and tired of American’s believing that they have any right to decide by a majority vote, whether or not I can exercise my inalienable rights as a human being to my pursuit of happiness.It amazes [...]
In the vein of Bill Maher’s New Rules, I would like to suggest this New Rule:
Any time the Radical Right Wing fringe of society gets a voter initiated State Consititutional Amendment banning Gay Marriage, the Liberals must have a similiarly worded but contradictary one on the ballot right next to it.
Where are the legal geniuses [...]
Forget about banning flag-burning, and the “harm” allowing same-sex marriage would cause to these United States, let’s focus on something much more dire this election year. Let’s amend the constitution to ban something that’s truly unamerican. No Administration during peace or war time, should be allowed to keep from the public, the site of [...]
Time magazine named 10 U.S. Senator’s their 10 Best, and 5 Senator’s the Worst. Among the 10 Best listed, is Republican Senator Thad Cochran (MS) who should be famous not for his Chairmanship of the Appropriations Committee, but for his vote against the McCain amendment to the Military Spending Bill, which would prohibit the [...]
In response to an Anti-Gay Adpotion Bill introduced by Republican Ron Hood of Ashville, State Sen.

Countdown with Keith Olbermann reported last Wednesday, the following interesting piece of info that shows that the Anti-Cindy-Sheehan protests aren’t as organic as they may appear….
Meanwhile, there is the group that reversed the Sheehan equation and showed up in her home town of Vacaville, California, with a caravan of military families and conservative activists who [...]
I mean really now, you have to ask yourself, What is Dubya afraid of? Why not take an hour out of his MONTH long vacation to answer the simple question about the “honorable” cause which Casey Sheehan died?Also, what is Bush afraid of, that he won’t renounce publically the violent murderous speech of his [...]
Charlie helped convince me not to wack off my hair today, that and the fact that my secondary barber was booked up. He started styling it for me, and although I wasn’t 100% pleased with the end result, it gave me enough of an idea to work with, so that now I’m happier with [...]

A story about a Canadian MP named Jason Kenney, who in speaking about Canada’s upcoming historic vote to allow Gays to marry in ALL of Canada, said

You know where the same day occurs over and over again, tonight of course is the annual State of the Union address by George “Liar” Bush – where we’ll hear the same crap we’ve heard for the past 4 years, minus the part about Iraq having Weapons of Mass Destruction, but maybe he’ll replace Iraq [...]
I received one of those emails that people forward to their freinds and family all the time, the other day. It was from my sister, and it spoke of the United States being based upon the Christian religion. Showing pictures of Moses on the Supreme Court Building, and the Ten Commandments on the [...]
I’m thankful for the millions of Americans that involved themselves this year in our democracy like never before, to stand up against the outrageous excesses of the Bush Administration. Although we apparently didn’t succeed in toppling his regime peacefully via the ballot box. I cling to the hope that reason and logic will eventually prevail [...]
Last I night I scored a great deal on an iSight camera at CompUSA. Charlie and I also stopped by the used CD store at his request, and we picked up Green Day’s “Nimrod”, and I found Nitzer Ebb’s “Belief”. I had to listen to it before deciding to purchase it, since I recalled the [...]
OK fellow BLOGGERS, we need to attack the radical right wingers, and their constant attempts to tinker with the constitution of the United States of America. First and foremost, Mr. Bush himself. When he’s sworn in as the next President of the United States, he will be taking the oath of office, hand placed neatly [...]
When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the [...]
As a proud member of the Gen-X generation, that thinks he knows when he’s been suckered by marketing, I’m watching the Frontline episode called the persuaders this evening, and the future is truly bleak.

Dear Countrymen;
Moral Values huh? OK, so help me understand you, I don’t understand how you can value life, and support the death penalty and a war that has killed tens of thousands of innocent lives, not all the civilians in Iraq were terrorists you know. And we don’t like the fact that OUR President has [...]
Tell the world that you’re sorry that Bush will still be President for the next four years, let the world know that all American’s aren’t stupid bible-thumping cowboy hicks bent on creating a one world christian run global corporation that owns and runs everything.
Well, I needed something to replace my Kerry/Edwards bumper sticker … after all my bumper was feeling awfully lonely .. ;)
It’s “Vote Out W” Day! Lines have been long all day at polling places around the state, according to the local news, and at the two sites we visited today, ours and Charlie’s parents. We got to the polls at around 6:35 this morning, and we’re out in about 50 minutes. The polls opened at [...]
Along with the Goo Goo Dolls, a MoveOn.org rally here in Columbus. I’ll post some details afterwards.

Wow!! The FIRST time The New Yorker has endorsed a candidate for President in it’s 80-year history. It’s long, but makes the case so succinctly that I highly recommend taking the time to read it in it’s entirety.
“The Bush/Cheney Administration is a rarity in American history, it is simultaneously dishonest, and incompetent.” – Al Gore Oct. 19, 2004
Like a church sermon, Al tells it like it is, wake up my fellow Americans, regime change begins Nov. 2nd.
You can watch the streaming archive of the speech at C-SPAN.ORG here in RealPlayer format.
So Lynne Cheney is all upset and in a huff, because she’s got a lesbian daughter, and people know she’s got a lesbian daughter and John Kerry had the nerve to remind people that Lynne Cheney’s daughter is a lesbian.
OMG! What will the ladies in the bridge club think?? Oh sweet merciful Jesus!
But wait a [...]
Speaking on the issue of Senator Kerry in last nights debate, mentioning the fact that Mary Cheney (the daughter of VP Dick Cheney) is a lesbian, and was born that way… Andrew Sullivan wrote
“I keep getting emails asserting that Kerry’s mentioning of Mary Cheney is somehow offensive or gratuitous or a “low blow”. Huh? Mary [...]
What’s up with the camera … c’mon ABC, Everyone knows Bush is shorter than Kerry.
Look out Dick Cheney’s got a gun! Everybody run, the Vice President’s got a gun …

An interesting observation here in the heartland … the day after the Kerry/Bush Debate, it seemed like all the W ‘04 bumperstickers, and Bush/Cheney bumperstickers disappeared on the roads around Columbus.
So I thought, well that’s kind of interesting, but it’s probably just a coincidence, right? Maybe them Bushies stayed up late watching the debate, and [...]
…. Let’s take our Country back again!
The man named Yusuf Islam, formerly known as the artist Cat Stevens, was denied entrance into the United States on the basis of “National Security”.
What has become of us that we deny a man of peace entry into the land of his birth?

The Log Cabin Republican’s have voted overwhelmingly NOT to endorse Bush for Reelection.

The FishCam is back! Yippee! I sold the iBook that used to run the FishCam after it was recalled for the display problem, and was basically refurbished with a new logic board.

What a wild day in news today. First a court in California tells over 4000 couples that they’re no longer married, and then the married Gov. of the State of New Jersey, holds a press conference to resign his position, and admit that he’s gay, and that he had an affair with a man.
The rumors [...]

Six Feet Under …. what the fcuk? Fight for your life David … I’m so disappointed in the writing of this episode … and then QAF’s season finally … the border crossing, how unrealistic was that… having crossed the border between Canada and NY many many times in my life, this seemed so contrived, [...]
It’s that time of year again, my two favorite reality shows have just started their new seasons, The Amazing Race, and Big Brother … not to mention all the other good TV, like Six Feet Under, and Queer as Folk.
Fahrenheit 9/11, should be required viewing for anyone that is even thinking about casting a vote for George W. Bush. Vote for him if you want, but not before you see this movie. If you don’t have the courage to confront the criticism, and either solidify your support for Bush, or begin to [...]
See my levitating hard top (get your mind out of the gutter you perverted wankers)

Well as I was saying here, it looks like someone has taken the idea and ran with it by making and selling for only $4.99 Purple Gay Marriage Pins. Now if only someone would make that into a decal … 8-)Charlie and I rode our cycles down to Polaris yesterday, it was such a [...]
Here’s a great one .. Right Wing Eye .. it’s a parody of Queer Eye for the Straight Guy, except the Fab 5 is replaced by the Fanatical 5 of Pat Buchanan, Ralph Reed, Pat Robertson, Rush Limbaugh and Jerry Falwell. The parody is actually a commercial for Planned Parenthood.
All around this great land of ours, fair minded citizens need a symbol to show that there is strength in our numbers. The symbol will stand for fairness and equality, and against discrimination in all it’s forms. The symbol will be one that can be proudly worn to work, to church, to the [...]

Today W. Said he’s “troubled” by the marriages occuring in San Francisco and that “People need to be involved in this decision,” Bush said. “Marriage ought to be defined by the people not by the courts. And I’m watching it carefully.”You know Mr. Bush, you’re right, Marriage ought to be defined by the people, specifically [...]
Ohio has become the 38th State in the United States to attempt to circumvent the Constitution of the United States of America’s Article IV Section 1 provision that states that Full faith and credit shall be given in each state to the public acts, records, and judicial proceedings of every other state.Most certainly the Supreme [...]

If you haven’t already downloaded iTunes, get it now (MAC or PC), and tune into RadioPower.org …Someone put together a montage (long) of Bush & Co. and their repeated scare tactics (read “lies”) that dragged us into the War in Iraq, to the tune of Fleetwood Mac’s”Little Lies”

I’m telling you why … Harvey Fierstein’s Op-Ed article in the NY Times entitled “You Better Watch Out” [Free - Registration Required] is a beautifully crafted letter to an semi-ungrateful nation, like a mirror held up to show the face of intolerance how ugly it looks. The idea that anyone should assume, that Santa, [...]
For this much of our taxpayer money, we deserve to get the truth from this administration.

I’m tearing up thinking about the day, 5 years ago that we stood holding candles in the dark at the grounds of the Statehouse in Columbus, the candlelight vigil expressing so many feelings for so many people.

Aren’t we all just dying for the day when the story breaks with all the truth that Bush and Cohorts have been covering up since possessing the office two and a half years ago? I’m wondering who, if anyone, will have the courage to expose that which has thus far been so well disguised.The [...]

Ever since I started equating Patriotism with Nationalism in my mind, and started thinking about the indoctrination of school children via the pledge of allegiance, and the flag in general, and how the right-wing zealots have turned it into a divisive symbol instead of a symbol of unity, I’ve thought about how I could put [...]

Looks like old Georgie boy decided to side with Senator Santorum today… oooooh bad move …. guess the Log Cabin Republican’s will have to figure out how to respond to this one. You see, on Tuesday they called on Senator Santorum to fully apologize and disavow his comments disparaging gay Americans. In the press release [...]
Finally, a couple of Republican Senators (Snowe of Maine and Chafee of Rhode Island) have spoken out against Senator Santorum’s remarks.
I’m watching the Dixie Chicks on Primetime Thursday, talking about the crap their “fans” have been giving them, and it just makes me think about how truly awful this president is for the health of [...]
I am totally disgusted with this Administrations attacks on Gay and Lesbian’s in this country and around the world. What’s set me off this time? Well, it’s the silence from the White House (implying their support) on the issue of Sentaor Santorum’s anti-gay remarks made in an Associated Press interview for one.

Just saw Bushie talking to his supporters at Boeing (I think) – he said that Sadaam’s regime “built palaces in a country that needed hospitals” … um, isn’t Bushie kinda guilty of that too?

Excuse me? What’s the point of this show if no one gets married?

When Democracy Failed: The Warnings of History
by Thom Hartmann
The 70th anniversary wasn’t noticed in the United States, and was barely reported in the corporate media. But the Germans remembered well that fateful day seventy years ago – February 27, 1933. They commemorated the anniversary by joining in demonstrations for peace that mobilized citizens all across [...]
I live the American Dream … well not exactly .. but just a reference to the new Madonna single … you’ve probably already heard about her “pulling” her video from the US Market … well if you haven’t already found it online .. to watch it from Salon.com click on the capture below.
After watching it, [...]
Thought this was a great screen capture I grabbed from the Dixie Chicks video “Landslide” – kinda timely with Natalie Maines being metephorically crucified by Country Music fans for her comments about her dissatisfaction with the U.S. President.
Does anybody know that song, the chorus goes “I am crucified ….” something something something … I know, [...]
Did you notice the IraQi Resistance Headquarters the last time you visited P-town? Just finished watching a Fox News Sunday (ugh!

It’s confession time, I secretly occasionally stop and watch the 700 Club while flipping channels, just to remind myself how evil some highly visible “Christians” are. I won’t tell you my nickname for Pat Robertson, I think it’s totally appropriate but I’m sure he wouldn’t agree with me.
OK, so I stopped on the broadcast a [...]
Not that there isn’t a lot of good to be said with advances in Medicine, On-Demand cable programming (when it works Thank You Very Much Time Warner – get it fixed already!!), Cellular phones, Wirelss networking, digital cameras, frozen Boston Market dinners, microwave carmel popcorn (yum!), but with the advances in technology and level of [...]
I bought myself a Wacom Graphire2 tablet for my birthday .. yeah me! … (which reminds me of the Crank Yankers skit with Special Ed, “Yeah! I get to bring two friends, Yeah!” – if you’ve seen it you’ll get it, otherwise it’s too much to explain … go see it for yourself here –> [...]
“Of course the people don’t want war. But after all, it’s the leaders of the country who determine the policy, and it’s always a simple matter to drag the people along whether it’s a democracy, a fascist dictatorship, or a parliament, or a communist dictatorship. Voice or no voice, the people can always be brought [...]
I can’t watch the news coverage … Oh f*cking great, NBC just cut into my Will & Grace rerun to give me a war update …. great, can’t f*cking escape it can I… I just read one of the other blogs I visit regularly (sourcreamzengarden), Jamison’s brother is a Marine in the First Marine Division, [...]
And I think I’m getting a war for it … doh! That’s not what I wanted, I hope I can return it … it’s not my size, I don’t like the color of blood, and people around the world treat you badly when you blow up other people around the world … and I like [...]
OK, talk amongst yourselves, I’ll give you a topic, Right Wing Nuts
The Beastie Boys made their new single In A World Gone Mad, available for download along with publishing the lyrics.
Not their best work, but another set of voices to the world wide chorus against an unjustified war.
Now fess up, you know you were thinking it … the Dixie Chicks’ Natalie Maines addressing a concert audience in Europe earlier this week, said “Just so you know, we’re ashamed the president of the United States is from Texas.”
Of course, this isn’t sitting well with many of their W-supporting fans, which although vocal, might [...]

The Dildo Song
This whole War Mongering, French Bashing, U.N. Destroying business that the Bush Administration has embarked on has really made the USA look like a Dumb and Dumber outtake.
Now the ninny Republican’s are changing the names of food items on the cafeteria menu in the House office buildings. In protest I’ve decided to change the name [...]
There is Hope for our future as a Nation, help elect Dr. Howard Dean President in 2004 and help make America great again.
And their delicious cookies … they got us on the impulse heading out of Lowe’s this weekend … I was able to avoid buying them at the office this year, go will power go… but then there they were with their questions, taunting me, “Which one’s your favorite?” they asked … steady… all the boxes [...]

Watching the Grammy’s … there’s nothing else on … Gwen Stefani is accepting the Grammy for No Doubt … I just love her ;)I’ve been ripping more CD’s that I’ve never gotten around to rip before, and think I’ll probably spoil myself and buy one of the new iPod’s for my birthday.I sometimes forget how [...]
Helen Thomas, White House Press Corp member for over 40 years, made an off-the-cuff remark to a fellow Reporter that she didn’t expect would be repeated. It was repeated and is apparently in her book “Thanks for the Memories, Mr. President” . What did she say? Well it’s something you might expect [...]

So now that the knee-jerk Bush administration terrified the entire public by raising the terror alert on the basis of a detainee’s statements, and now they finally get around to giving the dumb-ass a lie detector test, surprise, surprise, surprise, he lied.And now that the rest of the world except for Bush & Blair want [...]
For the last two weeks Friday’s been movie night, brings back a tradition from long long ago and far far away. Back about 15 years ago or so, our little group of friends would get together on Monday Night at Jeff’s house and order Chinese, or pizza and wings and watch movies all night [...]
Had the day off because I have to work on Sunday, went out to look for cheaper gasoline ($1.799/gallon for Premium is too expensive if you ask me.) Found some for $1.679 – what a $%*# bargain!Went shopping, bought a new shirt, couldn’t find the new Erasure CD, Best Buy’s computer said they [...]
Why is it that every Conservative talking head has to call Liberals names? Some Jackass (Neal Boortz) on Donahue keeps calling liberals “bed wetters” .. what the hell is that? I know us Liberals are much more tolerant and above arguing using name calling, but sometimes I wish we would just start calling [...]
Is the title of the new Erasure CD … I listened to a few samples of the tracks on Amazon … my jury is still out … any Erasure fans out there have the CD and want to let me know if it’s worth while or not?
Clean car lasted overnight, but the snow with the slightly above freezing temperatures conspired to ruin the shiny clean yellow exterior. Doh!Have you seen the price of gas lately? How ridiculous, and while I’m complaining about gas prices … why can’t we get rid of the .9? This is 2003 already, all [...]
Have one eye on the tv for the commercials, lost interest in the game since it’s a blow out and I was hoping the Bucs would lose. Oh well, not the Super Bowl I wanted from last week, I wanted to see the Eagles vs. Titans.Nice punt block and touchdown for the Raiders just [...]
That’s what it feels like out here in the virtual world, blogging is kind of like standing in the middle of Grand Central Station (not walking, but standing), and talking to yourself as people rush past you from every direction, some are hearing a little of what you say from day to day, some just [...]
Welcome to the new site … speaking of moving, we’re watching Hidden Hills on NBC, funny show if you’ve never watched it, give it a try. The main characters are considering buying the house next door from theirs. Which got us thinking about if there is any house in our neighborhood that we’d be [...]
< Warning; this is going to sound like a commercial. >Need a new long distance company? I hated it when AT&T would call me over and over and over asking me to switch, I’d tell them to put me on their Do Not Call List and they’d still call me. They’ve finally stopped, so [...]
What’s on your bumper?Today I saw a nice sticker that said “Wage Peace” … having liked it, I thought I’d do a little search at eBay for one, but it only turned up some T-Shirts.So I searched Google using my new Safari browser from Apple, and found a bunch of sites dedicated to Anti-War efforts, [...]
We watched “The Eyes of Tammy Faye” last night, it was a present I got for Charlie for Christmas… rather interesting having grown up with the P.T.L. club and having met Tammy at the Red Party two years ago. Didn’t realize that Jim Bakker had also started the 700 Club and TBN. Tammy [...]
Well if you can’t answer that, you can figure out if you’re pure or …. well less than pure by taking the Purity Test. Enjoy, and if you must know I’m 54% pure, don’t be such a prude!
