lol your comment

Sometimes people randomly leave comments on old posts, where the original comments threads have disappeared since we replaced Haloscan with Disqus. Mostly, I don't notice them, but occasionally I happen to spot them in the "Recent Comments" widget in the sidebar.

In July of 2006, I posted a graphic I'd created featuring the lyrics to Imperfection, by The Tears:


That was the whole post, except for a note about what had inspired it—a post I'd written about being an "odd piece," one of many posts in the sort of outsider oeuvre that have graced Shakesville over the years, about existing on the margins or being shy or different or somehow flawed.

Earlier today, someone left the following comment on the "Imperfection" post:

hey your gay!!
Priceless.

Naturally, this is to be incorporated into the Shakes Lexicon, effective immediately.
