Hey Drew-- I am not a "hormonal 15 year old performance artist". I'm a
hormonal _35_ year old performance artist (sigh). I never "defended [my]
right to be as rude and boorish as possible...." I merely admitted that
I WAS boorish and rude.
And I also kick cats, when the medication wears off.
Gotta love me!
