My contextless quote of the day:

He hangs onto those children all the time as some kind of desperate proof that he’s not homosexual.

The things that The Internet Archive have are mind blowing. I have this 78 RPM record in my garage somewhere. It was a favorite of mine when I was a child. I enjoyed singing along.

This actually predates my parents a bit, so it was probably my grandparents, possibly great grandparents.

I like this thread on Reddit. What is the pettiest reason you refused to date someone?

I guess it was the weirdest reason, not really the pettiest, but I was the receiver.

He was the sweetest thing, I really liked him, but strangely he started calling me Tim, the wrong name. I let it go a few times, then with each recurrence, it was getting harder and harder to bring it up that he was using the wrong name, so I just let it go. I finally determined that I really liked him calling me Tim. It made me feel special.

Then he called me by that name in front of a group of my friends, and of course they all had to jump in and correct him.

He was so embarrassed that he never spoke to me again. Just broke my heart. 💔
