Tim or Jeff?


You get the feeling that Jeff would buy you flowers and then write a song about it while Tim would shoot you full of heroin and then fuck your brains out!
Compare Jeff Buckley and Elizabeth Fraser - 'All Flowers In Time' with Tim Buckley - 'Live at The Starwood L.A. in 1975 (Buzzin' Fly - Nighthawkin' - Dolphins - Get On Top - Devil Eyes - Finale)

Ricky Gervais defends his fat jokes


"I heard someone on the radio once say that they were tired of the prejudice aimed at the overweight. They said something like "you're not allowed to make fun of gay people, so why are you allowed to make fun of fat people? It's the same thing."
It's not the same thing though, is it? Gay people are born that way. They didn't work at becoming gay. Fat people became fat because they would rather be that way than stop eating so much. They had to eat and eat to get fat. Then, when they were fat they had to keep up the eating to stay fat. For gayness to be the same as fatness, gay people would have to start off straight but then ween themselves onto cock. Soon they're noshing all day getting gayer and gayer. They've had more than enough cock... they're full... they're just sucking for the sake of it. Now they're overgay, and frowned upon by people who can have the occasional cock but not over indulge.
When a doctor tells me that that's how you become gay, I'll stop making jokes about fat people."
