When did women whose looks are not their living start conducting themselves like the simpering inmates of an Ottoman empire seraglio?

Punk was over in two years. That was the only damn good thing about it.

Being a child is horrible. It is slightly better than being a tree or a piece of heavy machinery but not half as good as being a domestic cat.

I just have a real problem with people who seek to portray fatness or thinness as moral concepts.
