Yup.  Lots of bugs here.  AND OTHER ANNOYING THINGS.

On a different note- I saw this and immediately thought "Harlan Potter"

I'll give much karma to the person (besides Ursus) who can tell me who Harlan Potter is.

HE is a gawd among men, a divine urge among gods.

at a time when i was dealing with the backlash of a seriously farked up childhood, thinking i was the inhuman monster i was trained to be becuase of feelings and thoughts i had, picking up old copies of amazing and other old magazines at a bookstore (bundled five for a buck) found the discarded, and then adrift off the islets of langerhans, and started to think.  hunted deeper, found repent harlequin, found so many others, and realized that the feelings were not uncommon, the thoughts not unhuman.  i can honestly say the mans writings saved my life.  id be dead or institutionalized right now if not for him showing me that it was okay, we're all assholes.
