    Big man, pig man, ha ha, charade you are
    You well heeled big wheel, ha ha, charade you are
    And when your hand is on your heart
    You're nearly a good laugh
    Almost a joker
    With your head down in the pig bin
    Saying "keep on digging"
    Pig stain on your fat chin
    What do you hope to find?
    When you're down in the pig mine
    You're nearly a laugh
    You're nearly a laugh
    But you're really a cry.

      I think a 'gay homosexual' is a man in a womens mind in a mans body, but I chose to skip school that day, so I'm not sure.

      In another bit of humor; It's ironic that homophobes can't even get the terminology right. They should just stick with 'fag' and play it safe.

  9. Marriot in Alexandria by SteweyGriffin · · Score: -1, Offtopic
    About a year ago, I stayed at a Marriott "Residence Inn" in Alexandria. Virtually every call (800, 10xxx, local, 950xxxx) was priced at +$0.75. [Well, the calls to the front desk were free ;-] I retaliated by making all my calls from the second floor one-arm See & Pee bandit. It was only a quarter. Alas, the coil slot did not have an RJ-11 jack, and I was on the 5th floor, so I paid through the nose for my data calls.

    I'm going to be in the DC area again. Lacking another place with better price/features ratio, I may end up staying there again. So I think it's letter writing time.

    Q1) Do other elements of Marriott also charge such outrageous surcharges? Note that Metro DC is, at worst, flat rate $0.08 /call.

    Q2) Some time back, a hotel/inn manager posted a query regarding such surcharges. Does anyone remember who he was, and/or how to reach him? I'd like to forward his feelings to Mr. Marriott.

    Q3 ;-} Anyone know where to find a coin slot with an RJ-11?

  11. Sad news ... Stephen King dead at 55 by Anonymous Coward · · Score: -1, Offtopic

    I just heard some sad news on talk radio - Horror/Sci Fi writer Stephen King was found dead in his Maine home this morning. There weren't any more details. I'm sure everyone in the Slashdot community will miss him - even if you didn't enjoy his work, there's no denying his contributions to popular culture. Truly an American icon.
