     Heh heh, well then stop yer whinging - If I'm not mistaken, you've just done taking someone to task for not knowing 'you' - yet you 'know' all about 'us' being there or all there, quite a judgement call, would you say. However, whatever humps your camel, or takes your horse to water, just don't try to make 'me' drink it - I have unusual tastes and some tasty projections!!!

     Do what you feel like, and hope that it sticks. If it doesn’t, throw it again. Maybe it sticks the next time over. And if it doesn’t, who cares? It’s just one insignificant life wasted in the vast ocean of lives all around. Whatever floats your boat, whatever melts your butter, whatever humps your camel, whatever sizzles your bacon, whatever tickles your pickle…

     PLAYER 2: What makes that date so buzzworthy? PLAYER 1: The buzz being, it was still illegal to serve alcohol to openly gay men. But on that day, a group of us stormed the establishment, slapped our hands on the bar and shouted, “We are homosexuals and demand to be served!” Or was it serviced? No, no…that, that came later. Much, much later. After the drinks. PLAYER 2: Whatever humps your camel.
