Comment: I'm curious about a website a friend sent to me. I know this
website has been around for a while (supposedly sometime in 2005), but I
stumbled across it a few months ago. Is this a valid business?
http://postrapturepost.com

I mean, is it a scam? A fake? Do they really accept money and letters?
If they accept the letters and the money, do they actually have a method
of storing them until the said rapture? I've heard of similar sites in
concept (i.e. www.savetoby.com), but don't quite know what to make of this
one.

Comment: Can you please stop spreading bullshit? Ellen Degeneres is not a
lesbian, she is not lesbians with Rosie O'Donalds and she is not lesbians
with KD Lang. I don't really understand why you think it is appropriate
to make insults to acceptable people like this. I will think about this
some more.

Lesbians: the new verb.

I remember it being used that way when I was in primary school (the later years, natch). I'm a trendsetter!

This reminds me of public school -- you're gay for so-and-so.

Unless the writer means that you can only be lesbian with someone else; that it's not a solitary pursuit.

Okay, I'll bite: how exactly does one go about lesbianing? I mean, I have a vague idea, but the details are sketchy.

Oh that's easy. First you have to start hating and persucuting Christians. Then you have to go get body parts pierced and chop your hair off. Then you have to start becoming an affront to TEH LORD!

Hmmm ... I'm there on Nos. 1 and 3, but the piercings and shaved head just aren't going to happen.

I guess I'm not a lesbian after all.

It was used a term roughly equivalent to "going out with", but used to describe lesbians. I've stoppped using it since, natch.

I'm disappointed. I was hoping for something much more disturbing.

Surely that's true though?

I don't think so. One can only have lesbian sex with a partner; but one can be alone to lesbian (the imagination is a powerful thing).

I still say that it's an affront of verbs everywhere!

Interesting.

Being lesbian makes people unacceptable?

All three have said they are lesbians.

I don't recall anyone suggesting they were dating each other.

But then, ignorant bigots don't think things through.

I must have missed the "who is lesbians with who" page on Snopes.

Damn... I need to forward this thread to my sister. She has short hair and tends to wear hiking boots, flannel shirts or tshirts, and jeans... but she doesn't have any body piercings besides the ones in her right ear. She does have tattoos though, will that count towards lesbianing properly? I would hate to think she is doing it wrong!

Then again, I suppose I could ask her partner if she does it right or not...
