To whom it may concern
By the time you read this I will be gone. Unfortunately before my death I had no desire left for life. Even with all my friends and my career on the upswing I felt too empty to go on in this unreal existence. I am just so bored by everything. You might say bored to death. It may sound ridiculous but is true. I have arranged my own funeral arrangements with a guest list and it is paid for. I would like to say goodbye to Jackie Curtis, I think you're fabulous. Holly, Sam Green a true friend and noble person, Ron Link I'll never forget you, Andy Warhol what can I say, Paul Morrissey, Lennie you know I loved you, Andy you too, Jeremiah don't take it too badly just remember what a bitch I was, Geraldine I guess you saw it coming. Richard Turley & Richard Golub I know I could've been a star but I decided I didn't want it. Manuel, I'm better off now. Terry I love you. Susan I am sorry, did you know I couldn't last I always knew it. I wish I could meet you all again.
Goodbye for Now
Love Always

Get the Candy Darling mug.Someone who wishes their ears to be sexual organs. They often "finger" their ear canals for sexual stimulation. These people are weird.
But have you ever had sex with an ear? It is stimulating.

Get the Chocolate Darling mug.Benjamin Darling was a black man from Malaga Island off the coast of Maine in the middle to late 1700's. Malaga Island was home to decendants, also known was the 'maroon society' due to their black skin. In 1912, rich mainland-ers in the dead of night went to the island and took families from their home, killing most of them, while the survivers went back to the mainland as slaves. Between 1773 and 1774, Benjamin Darling, slave on a ship under comand of Captian Darling (no known relation, alothough it is speculated that Benjaming was his son from a slave he had an affair with in previous years), the ship got caught in bad seas and Benjamin saved the captians life pulling him a shore. The captian then gave Benjamin his freedom and some money to buy himself a home.

Get the benjamin darling mug.'Darlo'. Chav-central of County Durham, North East England. Full of gypsies, chavs, posers, wannabe hard-lads. Has a shitty shopping centre called the Cornmill, which has like 10 shops that aren't semi-decent. Majority white (not necessarily a bad thing), but quite a few come across as very thick when they say shit about other races. Has a shitty school called Hurworth.
TYPICAL DARLO KID CONVERSATION:
Max: eee brandon u goin 2 cornmill 2day
Brandon: yeh that proper that. who wudnt go cornmill. yeh that sound beast that.
--------------------------
*Repetition of 'that' is common in Darlington. Plus don't listen to those who claim Darlington is something much better than London or Manchester, it really isn't...
*Beast means cool or awesome. Yep, noun turned into an adjective, proper cool that?

Get the Darlington mug.Those who follow The Darkness. They are not strictly those who retreat into depression or like all things black. I would say the darklings are for the most part a happy bunch, so happy, in fact, that they enjoy the company of those who do have one color palette.
Ted says he became a darkling by accident one day, when raking leaves. A sudden whim came over him to split-jump over the leaf pile. He did, and, staring into the mustard-colored yellow leaves he saw that he, like the little maple leaf, was now part of a bigger thing. "the darklings!" he whispered, face towards the sky, "the darklings!"
