Interesting combination of newsgroups you're crossposting to. I got pretty
excited when what's left of my drug-deranged brain seized on the word "gonzo."
After all, that's the only reason I read this newsgroup, hoping beyond hope
that someday Hunter, the only man I could ever really give myself to, will
show up with an alt.personals ad of his own and whisk me off to Woody Creek
where we'll cuddle up in the hot tub until Armageddon finally comes.
And honey? Gratuitous overuse of the word "fuck" may make you FEEL smart, but
it doesn't do that much to make you look smart. Go back and read more HST to
get a better feel for effective use of profanity. Best wishes.
