You know, since he's also disabled, it's acceptable for him to refer to other disabled people, including women, as 'my crippa,' which isn't nearly as offensive or inflammatory as the normally-abled (and whitely pronounced) 'crippLE,' with that hard 'L' at the end.

As post-worthy as half the other entertaining flotsom. Proceed.

"Caution - Choking Hazard - Package Contains Large Parts", etc. It's about as funny as "I'm Not Bald -- It's a Solar Panel For A Sex Machine". The bad thing about seeing this isn't the offensiveness of the shirt, but the likelihood that it indicates an increased frat boy presence on the Hill. Brace yourselves.

Probably. But I'm not offended, and my partner used a wheelchair most of the time. In fact, when we'd go out somewhere and get extra consideration, I'd often comment to people that they should get a cripple of their own. And my partner thought it was as funny as I did.

When he died, I had several e-mails from friends asking what we were going to do now that our cripple wasn't still alive to get us to the front of the line at theme parks and stuff.

Cornball @22 -- Whilst I am currently at a lull in my affection for Mr. Poe (his sense of humour goes too far, at times, even for me), I must assume it will someday again wax heavy.

At which point, I will strike you, T****, with a glove and demand satisfaction.

Mr. Poe is not a troll. He is, in point of fact, a stunningly important experiment in the online arts, assembled from cast-off machine parts, scrap-yard cable, tape, and bone, he wobbles, warbles, churns, and clunks; because of his ready-made elements and Dadaist operations, Mr. Poe is often compared to the work of Marcel Duchamp.

Please, bitch, step off. I may have been kicked in the head, but I'm still Poe's junkyard dog.

A writer. A cripple. A man. A son. A best friend. A lover. He was many things to many people.

And if you must know, I have an asshole, too. I call him "Bellevue." And all kinds of foul crap comes out of it.
