(From This Fish: Nowhere in that post — or in my LIFE — is there evidence of disrespect for that man or anyone else with a disability. He is Bird Man because he BUYS BIRD BOOKS, you asshole. Now take your holier-than-thou attitude and ride your high horse away to where you can be offended on someone else’s behalf (maybe someone wearing skinny jeans — I mock them ceaselessly), because it’s undeserved here.)

Bookstores are the magnetic north on the crazy/harmless compass.

The other morning in downtown Dallas a woman came up to me and started raving that nobody could tell her she hadn't lived. What else could I do but tell her she was right? I think I would have preferred to encounter your bird man Fish!</p> And I thought I was the only one to constantly encounter the crazies!
