why doesn't ogged have many females on his blogroll? It's because he's a sexist. And he's got Insty -- because he's secretly a conservative, and likes rich people better than poor people. Ogged, you fascist, sexist, man-with-a-penis. We shall take control of your blogroll.

"I guess I can only add that Rachel Wacholder has the ass of a young boy."

Lots of women have asses like young boys, and some young boys have asses like women. Why you gotta categorize, bigot?

"It isn't so much the torture, as it is the torturing of blackies."

Race isn't real; therefore, you could be torturing blackies and not know it. And what about Blondie -- that cartoon isn't funny at all, racist.

"It's not so much the sexism that bothers me."

Indeed: I would expect not, from an avowwed sexist who makes distinctions based on sex, thou noticer of differences and invidious sex monger!

Dear Diary,

I had the dream again.

I see him from across the pool. He looks over. He wears goggles. I can't tell if he is looking at me, but my heart skips a beat anyway. He dives, his perfect persian ass--flat as a board--sharply defined for just a moment before he slices into the water. He strokes, powerful muscles gleaming in the noonday sun, each pull of his thin-wristed arms bringing him closer to me, clouds of body hair stretching and retracting ith each movement like erotically-charged black cilia.

He arrives. He lunges out of the pool and kneels before me. He whispers "Are you the Tivo keeper?" I say, "Yes. Reset me."

Trembling, he reaches for the waistband of swimsuit. Working swiftly, knowingly, he pulls down, revealing the proud, throbbing manliness of my star-nosed schlong. "At last!" he sighs.

"Ogged! What are you doing?" No! That harridan won't prevent our love from flowering at last! I thrust towards his gaping mouth, frantically. But it's too late! He's heard his mother's call and slips back into the water to return to her side, leaving me alone and aching with need.

I awake, sobbing.

Oh well. Time to start the day!

Thanks Diary! You're my only friend.

Love,

Matt F.

The real reason ogged's ex left him practically at the altar is that after he knocked her up (the only reason they got engaged), he started to become preemptively worried that, if he witnessed the birth, he would no longer desire her sexually. This proleptic concern grew so strong that he found himself unable to perform (a condition which persists to this day—or would, if it were relevant to his situation), and she left him, preferring to go it alone and raise her child without the "help" of a pussy like ogged. Now she's a lesbian and single mother in NYC, and you can catch her zany adventures every Thursday on NBC.

If someone were to impersonate her, it would not be inconsistent to leave off the "itch." Which isn't to say, necessarily, that those posts were impersonations.

This is easily the worst over-100 thread ever recorded here. Oh, and I am gay, so gay that I think only the gayest thoughts in the gayest way imaginable. Also, I am Persian and a swimmer and interested in philosophy, three things that intensify my already-gay gayness exponentially.

Fortunately, though, I am not the only gay in oggedville. And, for the record, I am not as gay as w-lfs-n.

He talks just like ogged, and admits he is gay like ogged does/should. And his name, clearly stated, is ogged.

I strongly resent the implication that I would ever feel the need to impersonate ogged, which would be akin to evaporating. I can do nothing about it if he wants to use my email address as he sends his love notes to w-lfs-n, er, I was supposed to keep that secret, so keep it to yourself.

By the way, ever seen a photo of ogged with George Michael? I thought not. Hmmm.
