It is indeed.  And the same Ted Kaldis who posted that charming list of slang
terms for Asian women.  I wish I'd kept that one.  Here are some other
comments from Ted Kaldis:

 Well they shouldn't have any trouble finding one!  I worked in the ad
 industry for over a decade, and I can tell you for a fact that homo's
 seem to proliferate that industry.  My best explanation is that they
 live in a fantasy world anyway (pretending that aberrant behavior is
 normal) and because of this they are drawn to a profession where an
 active imagination takes precedence over practical reality.

 If a man has sex with men, he's a homosexual -- and by definition is
 exhibiting a hate for humanity; if he carves them up afterwards, he is
 a homosexual who carries out his hate for humanity to the ultimate
 degree.

 It is only to the depraved that the act of buggery represents an
 expression of affection.

 "Trixie" is a name for a female dog.  (The four-legged variety.)

 Darling, you're just wound a little too tight.  And I know exactly
 what'll loosen you up.

 In truth of fact, indications are that the brain damage is on the part
 of homosexuals, rather than on the part of those who respond to the
 absolutly natural and perfectly understandable revulsion to this
 perversion.  Results are as of yet inconclusive, but preliminary
 indications are that homosexuals are born with a malformed hypothalmus
 (the part of the brain which "controls" [if this is the right word]
 sexual activity).  It is perhaps this anomaly which is responsible for
 the aberrant inclination towards homosexuality.

 Lesbian: a poorly-socialized female who is unable to enter into or
 maintain a relationship with a man, and who thus resorts to engaging
 in perverse sexual acts with other females.

And finally, some quotes ideal for a .signature:

 `These kinds of remarks are wholly inappropriate and are the mark of a
  bigot.'

 `I have the necessary qualifications to speak on behalf of Jesus.'

 `I can't understand why anyone should think I'm a "gay-basher".'

 `That's easy.  This is yet another example of feminine "logic" (truly
  an oxymoron if ever there was one).'
