I officially take "Let your freak flag fly" back, and instead recommend "Buy a vowel", liz. Or, conversely, "Use a Life-Line". I was wrong, and freely admit it. Some people should never let their freak flags fly. Too freaky.
You said repeatedly and emphatically in several ways and variants that you have absolutely no sense of humor. (We believe you. We believe you.)
I quoted Crosby saying "Let your freak flag fly", meaning "Be who you are proudly and make no excuses about it."
For God's freaking sake, liz. Even though you AREN'T at your computer all the time, and neither is anyone else, before you posted what you just did you had your chance, all the time in the world, actually, to LOOK THE F**KING QUOTE UP, especially after I TOLD you it was a quote from a famous song lyric by David Crosby. Are you completely incurious?
Make yourself look good. You might need to be the Republican Vice-Presidential Candidate someday, and you don't want Katie Couric to make YOU look like a moose in the headlights, do yah?
I have to go take antacids now because something has provoked me to heartburn, perhaps the excess humidity in the crisp Autumn New England air.
Try the veal, everyone! Be sure to tip your servers!
