Best. Blog Post. Ever.
My (and Maddy McCall's, among others) favorite succulent bivalve, Oyster at Your Right Hand Thief, chews up the stage and spits out the splinters with this one!

http://righthandthief.blogspot.com

Perhaps, in any large scale catastrophe you're bound to have some amazing survival stories. Perhaps it's overwhelmingly probable that there will be some. Maybe dumb luck and contingency are the real "reasons".

But if humanity requires some "miracle" survival stories after a disaster, can't we ever have the following scenario occur?:

Five days after a horrible earthquake, a national TV audience rejoices as rescuers uncover two men buried in rubble. They're alive, and breathing! It's a miracle, the media proclaims. As the men are being pulled out and put into an ambulance, a reporter asks one of the survivors to describe how he feels.

"Well, I'm so happy to be alive! If my partner and I hadn't enjoyed that nooner in the supply closet, we wouldn't have been in the safest part of the building when it collapsed. I guess being a sexually active gay couple really paid off this week. Heh. And while we were trapped in the rubble, we promised each other that if we ever made it out alive we would get married in California. It was the thought of getting married that kept us going, that helped us survive. That, and drinking each other's urine. Apparently God had a plan for us, because everything happens for a reason."


:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

Question: Can a non-DUer win a DUzy?

3. referring this post, both ''rec'' and ''proxy'' sound pornographic
like you go through one to massage the other.

Not that that's a bad thing.
