Everyone I admire is talking about Stone Butch Blues right now. I had a copy years ago, but never did get around to reading it and now I can't find it. SOOO....I innocently walk into the local branch of the Contra Costa Library, plop myself down at the computer, and searched for it.. No matches. That's odd.. Not in the ALL of the branches in the County? So I walk up to the counter and ask the Nice be-specticled librarian for help.. She looks it up on HER computer. No Matches. She switches over to an online Books In Print.... Finds it.. Does some clicking.. GASPS... "Oh! We wouldn't have a book like that."
"A book like what?" I ask, rather hotly. She says that I would have to go to "San Francisco" (Only she says it like "Soddom"). Whatever...
So I check out my mystery book.. I know I owe a fine, and I know what book it's for... She tells me I have a fine on my card.. I say, "Oh REALLY?? What for???"
She clicks some more.. Turns BEET RED... "Bitch Slap."
I made her say "Bitch"... Petty, but vengeful and oddly satisfying.

Good for you for making her say "Bitch". That gave me a giggle. :>

yes, we should chat sometime... a bud borrowed "the love that dare not speak it's name" to describe fags who play, emotionally or physically relate to females.
