There be dragqueens

It can be really, really hard talking to my friend Darryl:

Darryl: What's your stance on drag queens?
Harvey: In what sense?
Darryl: Bone-ability. Obviously.
Harvey: (Sigh.) Why? Why?
Darryl: Well, Trent asked me a few days ago.
Harvey: OK...?
Darryl: It was Tuesday.
Harvey: Yeah, I don't care about that. What did you say?
Darryl: I told him I would get back to him. I need to check what the word on the street was.
Harvey: "Word on the street?" Listen, to answer your question, I'm not into to drag queens. Are you?
Darryl: Dude, I'm not gay.
Harvey: Clearly. But you are attracted to drag queens.
Darryl: No.
Harvey: Right.
Darryl: Now, having said that—
Harvey: Here we go.
Darryl: I've been dabbling in straight guys dressing as women for the purposes of comedy. There's a kind of appeal there.
Harvey: Dabbling. OK.
Darryl: Remember Jonathan Brandis in Ladybugs? You weren't even a little bit curious about what was going on under those soccer shorts? (May he rest in peace.)
Harvey: Christ.
Darryl: Hey, judge-mo, this isn't a sexual thing. It's aesthetic. You have to admit Dave Foley was pretty cute wearing a dress in Kids In the Hall.
Harvey: Please stop.
Darryl: He's gained a lot of weight since then though.
Harvey: I can't accept this.
Darryl: Terry Jones really tore it up too.
Harvey: Dude.
Darryl: And Gilda Radner.
Harvey: She's a woman.
Darryl: Hm. I guess I'd still fuck her too.
Harvey: I gotta go.

What I have to say about dragons

As fictional creatures go, dragons are pretty ridiculous. First, let me point out that they are very difficult to draw (it's the snout). But mostly, the very premise of this beast bothers me immensely.

It's presumably a lizard, and therefore a cold-blooded animal. But it breathes flame? Why would this trait ever be selected for in the evolutionary process? Sure, it seems like a reasonable defence mechanism, but how often would baby dragons murder other dragons while they're trying to get a hang of breathing? Sounds like an accident waiting to happen. And where does this fire come from? What the fuel source? Do dragons produce a kind of flammable bile, and if so, why aren't magicians attempting to harness this in order to develop an alternative fuel source? I've never seen this in any of the stories about dragons; they just burn coal like chumps.

And what about the wings? Some of them have pathetic miniature winglets that could never support a dragon's weight, while others have albatross-esque ones. What's the deal here? This thing can fly now too? Are they dinosaurs? A descendant of the archaeopteryx perhaps? Because that changes everything.

I hate dragons.
