A Distrubing Txt

Late yesterday afternoon I got a text message from my high school friend, Chris. I rarely get messages from him. It contained the following:
If a fat guy grabs you and stuffs you in a bag, don't be scared. I asked Santa for a cock sucker this Christmas!
I stood there stunned, stupefied. My mind would not properly process the information. Was this a joke? I've heard similar remarks from him but never directed towards me. I'm a mess of emotions and none of them positive. It's like I've been kicked in the gut. I'm not quite sure how to handle this. Part of me wants to go burn down his house. All over a txt.


UPDATE 15 DEC 2006:

I talked about this to Sara, a mutual friend. Turns out that she got the same text and as you may have noticed in the comments, Season did as well. Glad that I was a victim of my own paranoia. Kinda feeling a little humiliated over it. It makes me wonder though, if I owe most of the people that I know an actual sit down and formal coming out speech.

Does he know you're gay?

Could he be drunk?

Does he just have a really bad sense of humour?

He's coming out to you, maybe. After all, HE asked for one.

Or else it's just a harmless (yet dumb) joke. I mean, I could see a straight guy joking around like that and thinking it was funny.

Once you're out, they won't joke around like that.bi

I really don't know how that "bi" ended up at the end of my sentence! Very weird. Disregard.

I think it was meant to be a joke. I've seen that text before, but it was sent to a chick I knew. She was offended, but then realized that the person sent it out to everyone in his phone book.

Meet Bob

 I ordered my Ford Escape PHEV on October 13, 2022 and I finally took delivery on September 1, 2023. h/t to my salesman Meet Bob. Actually, I thought I would come up with a better name since my last car was named Patty because I got her on St. Patrick's Day. But after spending about three minutes trying to think of something clever, I threw in the towel and settled on Bob. So this is a base model PHEV. It doesn't have things like a heads up display, 360 degree camera, premium audio system, etc. Mind you, I came from a base fiesta. Patty had roll-down windows and didn't even have cruise control. This is a very big upgrade for me. A little over two weeks in, I've hit 1,000 miles. I've tried to force some non-ev time. I'm not sure what kind of engine break in is needed for this. I figured I should do some of that and get its first oil change before I head down to Florida with it in November. So far, just one and one-quarter tanks of gas used. Averaging 86 mpg. Most

Be fruitful and multiply...by ten.

Some coworkers and I were talking about that lady in Arkansas that just delivered her 17th child. The Associated Press announced the good news a couple days ago and I remembered the family from the Discovery Channel . The Duggar family had been the subject of a number of specials dealing with large families. They are especially memorable given that the number of kids as well as their, well, peculiar lifestyle. The people that I was talking to balked at the idea of having that many kids with a few of them openly calling the Duggar parents crazy. I have to admit, I think that they are little bonkers in the head too. But you know, that’s cool on the other hand too. And it’s actually impressive that they are able to afford to have such a large family. There are some parts of me that would like to have a large family. (My definition of large stops at five kids just so you know.) But their criticisms largely used the Duggars' religious faith. From what this article indicated, they are pa

Whatever happened to the Queer Golden Rule?

Wow, Tyler Whitney is popping up all over the gay blogging circuit but the rest of America doesn’t care. Mr. Whitney is an 18 year old staffer for a Republican candidate for President. He was outed. This has caused a little firestorm amongst the gay bloggies with many calling this guy a bigot, an a-hole, and even worse. The way some people have responded to this, Mr. Whitney is fit to be tied to the stake and burned for not being a good little gay. I do not deny that Mr. Whitney has done some pretty offensive stuff. Carrying anti-gay placards that aren’t even fit to be called “homophobic” certainly strikes points against him. However, as I read more about him the more I genuinely feel the need to reach out and hug him. Because I know that he has got to be feeling pretty alone. He’s getting grief from two communities who are openly hostile to which he belongs -conservatives and gays. I have to ask though, is he really deserving of such scorn? Look, his “crime” is working for an
