II.<\/td>\nWhat, are you blind? It’s clearly Deep Noir.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
III.<\/td>\nFred was just saying Black Olive or Licorice but I\u2014<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
IV.<\/td>\nWell, Fred makes everything about food. On our first date, he said my eyes were rum-soaked raisins. Chaaarming!<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
V.<\/td>\nI should’ve said they were Blackbirds, darling. Two rum-soaked Blackbirds who shit on anything I have to say.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
VI.<\/td>\nKnock it off, you two. Can’t we just enjoy our lovely weekend away from the city?<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
VII.<\/td>\nI saw a Blackbird once. On Fire Island. Or was it Provincetown? I dunno. But it was definitely at a Black Party\u2014I know that.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
VIII.<\/td>\nRemember that drag queen who did pantomime? Wasn\u2019t her show called Ballad of the Blackbird?<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
IX.<\/td>\nShe was doing Kabuki, imbecile. And the show was called Memoir of My Last Turd. I\u2019d know, I dated her kimono designer.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
X.<\/td>\nHey, don\u2019t Blackbirds have a high frequency of homosexuality? Like giraffes?<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
XI.<\/td>\nYou\u2019re thinking penguins. And that\u2019s your last mimosa, Danny. You\u2019re getting like really loud. You\u2019ll scare the little guy away!<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
XII.<\/td>\nOh, he split ages ago. Soon as Fred and Jose started going at each other.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
XIII.<\/td>\nNo! I wanted an Instagram pic. He was so sweet. That\u2019s it\u2014next time we drive up, I\u2019m gonna build him the poshest birdhouse you\u2019ve ever seen.<\/em><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
