The simplest things go awry (David's mind?).  But here it's
the writer's fault, not the reader's.  The "harumph" was not
about priority (do I know or care?), but about the word
"random," as elucidated further on.  Additional factoid:
I've never put quotes on every posting.

Date: Sun, 6 Sep 1992 02:22:42 GMT

so, a few days ago i was watching this porn flick - magnum griffin
collection, male erotica, volume 3, ok it's old stuff, i got it as a
freebie with newer stuff - and found the first scene ("Brian and
Vaughn, filmed in one of San Francisco's popular bath houses with
models discovered only minutes before shooting") mostly very
satisfying, but with several drawbacks.

on the plus side, these guys are completely into one another, and have
no consciousness of the camera whatsoever.  the bottom (brian?
vaughn?  who knows - they don't exchange names) is just wildly,
crazily hungry for everything he gets from the top (ok, it's very much
a top-and-bottom scene), and i really really like that.

two things detract.  one is the sound track, which has voices that are
apparently supposed to be the guys you're seeing, though they are not
synchronized with the action on screen *at all*.  you see some guy
sucking cock and hear some other guy describing the giant dildo he's
putting down the first guy's throat (when this scene comes by, the
dildo is truly gigantic, in diameter and length, quite remarkable) or
telling the first guy to spread his legs.  it is all very
disconcerting.  the sound track is nevertheless entertaining.

the other problem is the way brian and vaughn's skin looks.  it just
glistens.  i mean *glistens*.  all over.  not just like sweat is
streaming out of their pores; real sweat streams down irregularly, and
it's not even over your body (trust me, i know this; i care).  these
guys are shiny, evenly shiny, and it's *unreal*.

i know that porn flick directors spray water on their actors to
make them look sweaty.  but this is not just water; it's glycerin(e),
or something equivalent.  it's martian.  (well, after a second
viewing, i might learn to like martian, given the rest; but it will
take a little time.)

I think this is really interesting in light of the fact that Disney
owns/controls Hollywood Records.  Hollywood is the label that bought
the rights for the entire QUEEN catalog here in America.  No motion
was made to remove the band from the label when Freddie Mercury died
last year of AIDS related illness, and it was disclosed that he was
bi-sexual.  Even more curious is the fact that the ever imfamous
Village People performed at Disney World last New Years Eve!
They were offered an additional 6 day engagement (which they declined)
afterwards.  Hollywood was also considering picking up their entire
catalog for release also.  Why would they be so affended by Erasure?
Because Andy Bell has admitted his sexuality?  Articles about the
Village People, including the liner notes on the Rhino Greatest Hits
CD mention that there are gay members in the group. Surely, even if 
all of the members aren't gay, the image of the group obviously
endorses gay "clone" stereotypes, and gay "lifestyle".  Is the offense
because the program in question is aimed for children?

In Colorado, there is a ballot initiative to prevent any future

Colorado for Family Values [CFV]. They already have enough signatures, so that
the measure will be on the ballot in November. The group fighting them is

is EPC (Equal Protection Campaign) at Box 300476, Denver CO 80203 or

In Oregon, the Oregon Citizens Alliance [OCA] has enough signatures to put a
amendment of the Oregon constitution to prevent any state, regional or local
monies to be used to ``promote, encourage or facilitate homosexuality, 
pedophilia, sadism or masochism''. Also, on Tuesday, the city of Springfield,OR
passed an initiative similar to the proposed statewide constitutional amendment
to amend its city charter by 241 votes [52%-48%]. In Corvallis, OR the ballot
initiative was defeated by 2 to 1. The group fighting against OCA is
