  1. >lots of gay guys wear wedding rings, no?

    Of course they could be married (although not in NYS unfortunately) and cheating on their husbands as well. In any case, cause for suspicion if he’s hitting on you.

    l, aren’t you mixing up your cats? Jaguars vs cougars?”

    Oh right…. duh. Cougars and pumas. Honest mistake. Donatella, you didn’t say anything lesbo.

  3. I have to admit, I pounded the hood of a car once, too, when someone came THAT close to hitting me. It’s a knee jerk reaction to being at death’s door, and you are pumped with adrenaline at that point. Especially when you are in the right, and not expecting to get hit. As I recalled I also yelled at the guy, who attempted to curse me out before he just drove off. In retrospect, it might have been stupid, but he scared the crap out of me.

    Don’t get me started on Clarence Thomas, or his wife. She’s got some nerve. “Olive branch” indeed. She better concentrate on keeping herself out of public scrutiny and messy investigations, and keeping her dim-witted husband on the bench.

  4. If I have girls I will go with simple names like Catherine, Lauren, or even Jane, blowfish. It’s difficult to make any assumptions about people with those names.

    I know this is extra, but I’m highly sensitive to names. Mostly because I’m black, I’ve worked in recruiting, and I’ve spent my entire working life scrubbing my resume of any cultural identifiers.

  5. A lot of kids’ names in Park Slope are just self-conscious fashion statements by the parents. My middle kid’s name reeks of anglophilia (ditto and etson, think the lord protector). My first and third kids’ names are pretty traditional though.
