Everything about a goth dude is fake
I hate most things, and internet quizzes are no exception. Nevertheless, this is one to which I am merely indifferent, mostly because it is at least marginally educational: Spot The Fake Smile.
It turns out I am highly skilled at spotting fake smiles. I attribute this to my sour outlook […]

The Faster Family in 1971. That’s me in the front center, next to Mama.
Regular readers are aware that breaking news is by no means the forte of the
professional spinster aunt. My views on John Roberts probably won’t
congeal until sometime after Arbor Day in 2007 (although here are some
preliminary findings: JVNNIVS ROBERTVS FVCTARDVS EST), and I […]
That Parody Which Is Not One
Published August 22nd, 2005 in Easy Persiflage and Patriarchy-blaming. 10 CommentsThat kid which is not mine, airborne.
The concept of parody is enjoying, if that’s the word I want, an
upsurge in deployment as a weapon in the Dudes Take Back The Blog
movement. Unfortunately for us connoisseurs, the trend appears to have
shifted away from actual
parody–which, after all, requires the commitment of time and
dedication, if not actual talent–to […]
Such occurrences are distressingly intermittent, but once in a while a specimen of glad tidings swims against the current and flops ashore on my desk. I allude to the recent email bulletin from Danielle Tierney of Planned Parenthood, which put me in possession of spirit-cleansing news. To wit: last Thursday the Austin City Council was […]
What the fashionable North South Austin spinster aunt is breakfasting on.
Laziness and inertia have overtaken me like a gel-headed wanker in a black Corvette. I’ve used my last remaining iota of cogitational vigor to cop this exceedingly plump idea off my BitchPhD co-guest-blogger Elise: the cross-post.
Thanks, Elise!
So soon I’ll be republishing my BitchPhD posts here, […]
In response to the overwhelming demand, I present Bert’s current mugshot. He has, at age 11 weeks, gone over to the Dark Side. His juvenile delinquency entails episodic breaking & entering, petty theft, disorderly conduct, vandalism, and yipping. Next thing I know he’ll be working in a strip club.
Bert will bite the hand that feeds […]
Greetings, Patriarchy-Blamers. A few words.

After struggling with the eccentricities of Apple’s Mail.app for over two years, I have finally thrown in the towel and switched over to Thunderbird. It’s kind of unattractive, and it can’t read the address book I’ve been nurturing like a little lost limping kitten since the mid-nineties, but at least it […]
Sydney (thanks, Sydney!) sent this in about a hundred years ago.

Watercress salad with tandoori shrimp and mango and a ridiculous chutney dressing assuages my broken heart. I totally recommend that hydroponic watercress in the plastic bag with the roots still attached. It’s zingy!
Because there is so much in this world I don’t give a crap about, and so many shrimps to tandooricize, and so many […]
Australian Men Offended By Lack Of Flattery
Published August 17th, 2005 in Patriarchy-blaming. 40 CommentsMoonrise Over The Abandoned Trailer And Piece-Of-Shit Basketball Hoop. South Austin, August 16, 2005
I hate to be the bearer of only moderately good news, but there may be a flicker of hope for the feminist cause. There’s that BBC talking head, Michael Buerk, who’s making a big idiotic stink about how women now apparently rule […]
