Do you know how many people on “Facebook” have “St. Louis,” “Gay,” and “The Fiery Furnaces” in their self-description? One! Did that make Eric’s odds good or bad?
Good, it turned out. Eric drove the 4 hours from his forest by the lake in God-knows-where, Missouri, to have a date with “St. Louis/Gay/The Fiery Furnaces”: Tommy. The date of the date was on 4-20. The date took place in Tommy’s apartment. Eric and Tommy now live together. Tommy’s surprise birthday present to Eric was a trip to Chicago to see the Fiery Furnaces on 6-21. They told their story to the band at their show in St. Louis on 10-29. Moral of the story: the Fiery Furnaces Lead to Love!

the fiery furnaces lead to love huh? wow. but can it cure cancer? MS? my boyfriend’s penchant for playing gay chicken (and generally losing?). didn’t think so. but gold star for effort.

Grammer Snob:
1. Headlines are typically written in the present tense. Pick up the sports page, and you’ll see something to the effect of “Kittner throws three TDs to lead Illini,” not “Kittner threw three TDs…”
2. You spell (or spelled) “grammar” wrong.

Hey grammer [sic] snob, maybe they’re using inductive logic.

someone once tried to coax me with Quay Cur in the ears and the Amphigorey on the lap. Didn’t quite work, but I did buy Blueberry Boat the next day.
