I'd say something about the deodorant, but it would be entirely inappropriate. I have to cap myself here on Slog now, I guess. Oh well.

I don't understand what's "confidential" about a posting on a blog which is viewable to the public.

The whole "confidential to . . . " thing has never made sense to me: on blogs, at the end of "savage love", etc. Can someone explain?

I makes a little more sense in savage love because he doesn't add the whole letter of those people, but here he linked to Strangeways' blog, so we all have the context, a little odd but eh who really cares.

@3: i always thought that in cases like the responses at the end of savage love the term was "confidential" because the question wasn't published. but in this case, where the question and the answer are both public, i'm confused too.

if only the internet had some simple mechanism for (semi-) confidential communications...

where are my flying cars and jetpacks?

@5, that alternate time-line died when NASA had to cancel Apollo's 18-20 back in the late 1960's.

In this time-line we get Segway's and Prius' instead.

Sorry about that.

Also, in this time-line @5 is really @6...

This annoying web-catfight, and meantime, momentous news for the magic underwear crowd:

The president of the Mormon Church, Gordon B. Hinckley, died
Sunday, a church spokesman said. He was 97.
Mr. Hinckley was the 15th president of the Church of Jesus

First, you're a complete fucking faggot, Donut Boy. Do me a favor and go get a neck. P.s. make another t-shirt with a turntable on it, dork. Second, I got fucked with by them bouncers like 5 years ago at a show that Z-trip was playing. It was a Microsoft event ...

... but I'm not. I just think it's homo when people come on here and use fake names... Use your real name. The only reason you would use a fake one is if you were scared of what people think of your comments.. So yeah, BEAST is a fag.. bitch

Hey kub, get off the net and hitthe block with those cds fag boy. :)

as do i damnit *punches dawson for being such a fag*

Go back to the massline boards, you peace loving faggot. Dirtbag...[/

kanye's trouble is that he tends to make sense so the shots directed towards him are generally either manifestations of pure hate or comments on his habit of occasionally dressing like a faggot.

uote][cite] c.attle:[/cite]Seattle is full of pussies! Flower hiphop and emotional bullshit. Stick with what you say and mean it. All you fags talk shit and when a cat gets at you, you fuckin fold. Mean what the fuck you say before ...

@11...so does Mitt go to his funeral or avoid it like the plague?

gnossos@13: Only Willard's dry cleaner could answer that question.

n.b. Willard is the correct first name for the bozo generally known as 'Mitt'. His favorite rat Ben is offended at all this 'Mitt' bullshit.

Isn't "Strangeways Enterprises" a (mythical) front corporation for one of James Bond's evil arch-nemeses? So is Michael Strangeways really a James Bond arch-villain? What kinda stuff does an arch-villain blog about?

So what are the criteria for getting on the friends /enemies of the Slog lists?
I can see how saying "Always use a condom, it not only protects you from STIs, it protects you from poop" would get one on the friends list, and how being home schooled by a single mother, could get a pair cute blue eyed blond twins named Lynx and Lamb on the enemies list (Every child needs ...) But what did KUOW and Wheat gluten do to you?

I can not believe there is an argument on deodorant. Sorry, but I like the subtle smell of a guy. Not rank pit stink. There IS a difference. One is subtle and hot and the other is just fucking nasty.

I agree with Epimetheus. There's no story or explanation behind the Slog's Friends/Enemies list. That's too bad because I'm sure it would be fascinating.

#21 Tell me about it! I'm not sure if it's an honor or a slam! Sometimes it's hard to read sarcasm!

I'm going to go with honor, since I'm not on the list with (shudders) John Longenbaugh or the other assholes on the enemies list...though i do love me some Daniel Schorr but he's only on there as a joke cause he was on Nixon's enemy list...and I like most of the Friends List so I'm just going to smile graciously and silently weep tears of joy into my red bandana...
