Ahh, what is more delightful than a cool day in july
the breeze blowing, the veil of humidity lifted for a day
the girl at the front desk,
still braless
adds another bit of joy to my day

and yet i still see
people driving round with bush/quayle stickers
people who believe
fellatio is immoral
people who lie awake all night
worrying about fags

and me, swimming in a vat of tequila and lime juice
kathy lee crosby, naked, swimming too
armed guards watch our prison camp
to make sure geraldo does not get out 
or oprah in
or geraldo into oprah

oh well, 103 words. its ok, though, im not a newbie....

Neglect for colored people.  Well.......
It's true you didn't hear him say much about the subject,
but what do you want him to do?  Hang around Jesse Jackson
at parties?  Exactly what would you have him do?

As for AIDS research, Bush has a]thorized money for it in
the budget, didn't he?  That means he supports reaserch 
for it.  We are already running a budget deficit;  should
we spend money we don't have on AIDS?

Ok, I miscounted the first time, here is the new version:

So I took a trip back into town to pick up some much needed supplies.  It was
an accident that I ran into the man's car.  I would never have done so on 
purpose.  Well he got out of his car and I got out of mine.  He was only
between two and two and a half times my size.  He looked down at me and said,
"What the hell did you do to my car?"  I looked back up at him and thought to
myself, "It's times like this that I really wish I could make my eyes glow."

I was working a fifteen hour shift at the newspaper when the news hit
that the pope was in the hospital.  I was keylining the page during
the final deadline rush, when there are twenty minutes left and eight
pages to go, at roughly fifteen minutes per page and only three people
doing pasteup.  When all doped up on coffee and lack of sleep, locked
into an unreal environment, it is easy to get trancelike and move
through the actions of assembling the page as if it is a ritual.  The
mind is loosened, and when the last page is sent people often stagger
about dazed.  Anyhow, my mind was plainly in the higher spheres when
the following phrase appeared in it:  "Love is killing the Pope."  It
does make perfect sense, doesn't it?  Never mind, please, the anti-
Catholic sentiment it suggests.  There is sense encrypted in there
somehow.  Does it mean that JPII's self-repression is destroying him
through tenseness?  Does it mean that abstract longing toward an un-
reachable ideal is causing self-doubt and a form of autonomic shutdown?
Does it mean that the love of millions throughout the world are weigh-
ing heavily on his shoulders -- he has, in this sense, not one lover
to please but many multitudes.  Or, more pragmatically, has he simply
buggered the wrong altar-boy?

AjD
anyhow, the phrase fits perfectly in a certain joy division song:
"love... is killing the pope... again..."

This is ridiculous. I am afraid that I no longer can sit passively during 
this thread. Homophobia is an IRRATIONAL response to homosexuals and 
their practices. It is NOT irrational to be disgusted by the concept of two
(wo)men having sex. Although one should tolerate and leave alone such men and
women, they should never be forced to accept, practice, or condone it.
   If there was a kissing booth charging a dollar for charity, and a man
came up with a dollar bill, I would exercise my right to say no to the man.
Does this make me a bigot? A homophobic? No, of course not. Instead, it
makes me a heterosexual who is completely faithful to, and comfortable
with his sexuality. To refuse any sort of sexual connotations towards
a homosexual is not homophobic, but my right. 
   The rugby players would most likely feel uncomfortable being treated
as sex objects by other men, and if this is the case, then they have
every right to reject such a scenario. 
   You can ask a heterosexual to accept or tolerate your practices and 
beliefs, but when you ask him/her to join them? I suspect they will
be less than willing...

    Actually, they have an old saying in Seattle, one which is passed on
from generation to generation.  Fathers tell it to their sons and grandfathers
tell it to their grandsons.  The saying goes like this:

    FUCK! ITS STILL RAINING!

SubPop may be an amusing little label, but you and I know that the whole 
music scene in Seattle would constitute but a flyspeck on the arse of
Los Angeles or New York.

	Gosh, that sounds pretty irrational to me.

	Try thinking of it this way: replace the image of "homosexual man"
with a woman you wouldn't want to have sex with. Maybe she smells funny.
Maybe her personality just clashes with yours. In any case, you wouldn't
boink her if you were paid.

	Now, even though *you* might not want to have sex with her, it's
not inconceivable someone else might. You don't have to practice sex with
the lass by any means, but that's no reason not to tolerate, leave alone,
accept, or condone the concept of someone else doing the horizontal mamba
with her.

	Does that edify you any more, mon cher Franklin? (just *try* saying
"Franklin" with a nasal vowel at the end. It hurts.)

to *every* group with the follow to misc.test, and measure how many
followups there were per group, thus getting a newbie factor.  a per

readers for the newsgroup.
