As we head into the weekend, we’d like to make a small public service announcement. Though we’ve been enjoying unseasonably cool temperatures the past week, the heat is coming back, and we’ll be back to our usual late August sweatbox by tomorrow. We realize that the heat and humidity can make you cranky and irritable. But we beseech you to try to keep your temper cooler than the air outside. We fully grant you your status as a badass, but you don’t have to go around beating up guys who comment on your boyfriend’s hairstyle to keep your street cred.
Quote of the Week

Guys #1 & 2 [apologetically]: “No, no — you see, we’re both huge Morrissey fans. We just wanted to see if your hair was inspired by him. Was it?”
Morrissey look-alike: “Yeah, kinda…”
After the jump, getting the hook up, restroom sorcery, and when you wish upon a fountain.
