Here's the gossip: Apparently D is sleeping with or dating or doing O, if you can believe that, even though O is completely snappin nuts and he's totally mean and rude all the time. D seems to think he's okay. This is going to end badly.
Everyone needs a bad guy. It used to be B, who was accused of theft, and nobody trusted. Now B is everybody's bestest bud, and in fact, slept with S--well, did him in the bathroom at any rate. S has been dating K for years, but apparently it's an open relationship or something. At any rate, B is the cat's ass, and now he's accusing G of taking his money or something, so now G, who seems like a genuinely good guy (and who moved here for GK and dated M briefly) is the bad guy. M apparently owes R money or something, so R is all bitter about that. C didn't even talk to me tonight, but he was at a stagette or something, and I think he was drunk. B&D and D&G are still having more (control) issues than Time magazine, and the rumour was that D of D&G had been having an affair with A. A used to date G, but is single now, I hear, though that could change. GD thinks M made everyone hate him, when in fact, not many people liked him to begin with, but tolerated him cos he hung with J&S and M and D and L&D. D is jealous of D for taking up too much of L's time. T&J got married this weekend--T is so cool, and J is a total jerk imho. Oh, and M slept with S's friend--his name is suddenly escaping me--and the bed broke! *L* R&J moved and it all worked out well. T and D werent out tonight, but A is coming for brunch!! :) Oh, and M is desperately in love, but is pretending not to be, which is okay, since C is completely unattainable. Haven't seen B on here in weeks, and V asked me the other night if he was dead, or getting lucky, or what! Oh, and V got lucky with P on Thursday! And last but not least, GM doesn't know if it was M, J or maybe C that played with her site, but is profoundly grateful in that "can I give you head forever?" way for the present.

IF I CAN'T SELL IT-Ruth Brown

I own a secondhand furniture store, and I think my prices are fair.
’Course, this real cheap guy I know came in one day — saw this chair he wanted to buy. But he wouldn’t; claimed the price was too high.
So I looked him straight in the eye, and this was my reply:

If I can’t sell it, I’m gonna sit down on it.
I ain’t gonna give it away.
Now darling if you want it,
you’re gonna have to buy it.
And I mean just what I say.
Now, how would you like
to find this waitin’ at home for you every night?
Only been used once or twice — but it’s still nice and tight! Whoa…
So if I can’t sell it,
I’m gonna keep sittin on it.
I ain’t gonna give it away.

Now you can’t find a better pair of legs in town —
And a back like this? Hunh — not for miles around.
And that is why if I can’t sell it,
I’m going to recline upon it.
Why should I give it away?

Because it’s made for comfort —
built for wear and tear.
Where else could you find such an
easy chair? Ha!
Whoa … if I can’t sell it,
darling, I’m gonna sit down on it;
I don’t see the need to give it away.

Because it’s lush, plush,
slick and sleek.
Darling, a high class piece like this at any price is cheap.
So if I can’t sell it,
I’m gonna sit back down on it.
Why should I give it away?

Now, look at this nice bottom.
Ain’t it easy on the eye?
Guaranteed to support
any weight or size. Whooooa!
If I can’t sell it,
I’m just gonna keep sittin’ on it.
Don’t ask me to give it away.

Now, I have really had my fill
of folks always comin’ around with their hands stuck out, wantin’ something, don’t want to give up nothing.
Now if you want this,
put your hand in your stash and give me some cash.
Now if you want something for free, go to the Salvation Army! Don’t come runnin’ to me.
Now this is not St. Vincent DePaul’s place;
this is Ruth’s place.
Read my lips!
No free trips!
And you can look at me and see I have not been starvin’, darling.

Now I have a few diamonds that I haven’t even taken off to dust lately.
Now you are not getting anything around here for free.
Show me the color of your money.
Good-bye!
