i was five years old when i lost sight in my right eye.  if people
hadn't made such a big fuss over it, i barely would have noticed.

i knew a guy who followed up to a cascade.  his penis exploded.

a similar thing happened to a woman.  first, she grew a penis. then
it exploded.

p.s. all of this is true.

Yeah, check out `My Favorite Things', a book Simon penned to list all
the things he liked. It's the only book I've ever seen consisting of
only one page, in 84pt Goudy Oldstyle, with lots of whitespace around
the margins.

My response to John Simon's pronunciamentos on this were:

a) if Gore Vidal wishes you to call him a homosexual, you most certainly
should (actually, Vidal went through a phase of being a homosexualist,
which sounds a bit political or theological). 

b) if you don't want to call me `gay', then I don't want to call you
`John Simon'. If Simon call me a `homosexual', then I can presumably
call Simon `Ebenezer Squank' if I feel so inclined.

Of course, the whole subject is academic now, because I'm queer. I can't
speak for Simon.

 Is it shiny and black?
 Does it wheeze?
 Does it use The Dark Side of The Force?
 Does it extend at your command for light-saber fights?
 Is it anyone's father?

 (oh please say "Yes!"...)
