Big Honkin' Disclaimer

Memo to those who might wish to comment on my blog: I have changed the settings so that you don't have to be a registered Blogger/Blogspot user to leave a comment. For the moment, you can leave comments that will be visible almost immediately; just allow a little bit of time for system refreshing.

Please do not abuse this policy by posting anything illegal, including graphically obscene material (please keep it PG-13, or at least have a solid reason for calling it NC-17 instead of X), threats against any person or group, or incitements to civil disorder. Comments containing any sort of racial, ethnic, sexual, orientational, or gender slur, or any other kind of stereotyping, must be in a legitimate context. For example, we can talk about the word "nigger," but you can't call someone a dirty nigger. Likewise, you can use the word "fuck," but please don't give details of just how you do such a dirty, dirty thing beautiful statement of love and affection. Just for the record, I am a short-haired pagan hippie genderqueer faerie faggot nerd geek honkie boy klutz middle-aged white male Macintosh® fanatic. My Zodiac sign is Cancittaurius, with Gemorpricobra rising. (I mean, really, if you can't already reproduce my entire natal chart just from the glimpse of my personality you get in this blog, then what use is astrology anyway?) I do in fact have a Canadian fetish.

The use of hyperlinks in this blog may be serious, satiric, or even downright silly. For example, the phrase "dirty nigger" above is a link to the future home of Dave Chappelle's official web site. I do endorse Dave Chappelle. Dave Chappelle is a dirty, dirty nigger — thank goodness!

I reserve the right at any time to screen your comments and remove any that I don't want on my blog. If you're pissed off that I removed your comment, your legal remedy is strictly limited to a refund for the total amount that you paid directly to me in consideration for keeping your comments permanently displayed. In other words, if you're lucky, I'll mail you the chewing gum from the bottom of my sneakers — postage due.

The existence of a "trackback" relationship in either direction between this blog and any other site does not imply any endorsement from either party to the other.
