Quote of the Day

"I meet with the gays here and there. They were in my house two weeks ago. I don't mind gays. But I don't want 'em stuffing it down my throat all the time."

-- Utah State Sen. Chris Buttars

Umm, did he parse that before speaking?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

At a guess, he's the kind of guy who doesn't know his parse from his elbow.

That's two 'ouches' from laughing from one post!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

I'm shocked.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Sorry about that, I think data is being lost in textual transmission. The first laugh was derision (and sheer disbelief at cluelessness); the second was appreciation for the pun.

ETA: That the man's bigotry is vile I was taking as read; that he phrased himself so woefully caused schadenfreude. Still, I'm sorry to have shocked or offended you.

Still, I'm sorry to have shocked or offended you.

Actually, it's me who's the one should be saying sorry. I was just teasing you . . .

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-) I'm glad about that!

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

A very ticklish statement.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

If you say so.

[elfie-harly.livejournal.com]

Talk about putting a foot in your mouth.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

A foot?

[elfie-harly.livejournal.com]

At least.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Oh my.

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

All a matter of perspective.

[deliabarry.livejournal.com]

BWHAHAHAHA!

You, sir, have made my day.

*bows modestly, yet with a certain glow of inner pride*

[nick-kaufmann.livejournal.com]

He'll swallow his words yet!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Hm . . .

[txtriffidranch.livejournal.com]

I think someone was projecting just a touch. Should we worry about his wide stance, too?

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Yet another hazard of modern air travel . . .

I literally gasped when my hubby read this quote to me! WOW~! Someone is clueless!

I think the last three letters of his name can be dropped now, it's safe to say.

MORON is RIGHT!

and these comments? Absolutely delightfully wicked!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

First altariel, now you.

Now I'm really shocked. What is the world coming to?

[fledgist.livejournal.com]

Why drop the last three letters? After all it's clear that a letter was elided somewhere from the ancient name "Buttarse."

[pgtremblay.livejournal.com]

Sad and hilarious. Salarious.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Sad and hilarious. Salarious.

Or just hideous.

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

I agree, it is simultaneously sad and funny. To know Utah is to find the remark even more hilarious; sadder yet is the person who does know Utah! I'd move there but I don't think I could take the community, as a hole, for very long . . .

[avengangle.livejournal.com]

*SNERK*

Hilarious!

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Ah, yes. I might have known the merest trace of possible smut would be a magnet to some . . .

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

Doesn't surprise me at all. Utah is a stone's throw away from my back door (no pun intended, mind ye).

Utah is about, oh, thirty or forty years behind the times, poor folks. As for stuffing . . . I'm reminded I must make some for the turkey, manana.

[realthog.livejournal.com]

Utah is about, oh, thirty or forty years behind the times, poor folks.

I've always thought it's more like that it's in a different timestream -- obviously not the people themselves, necessarily, but those who govern them.

[sarcobatus.livejournal.com]

Oh, it's the people, all of them, who are in a different timestream, or dimension.
