I shall, but I'm not sure if both of these are offenses of equal
magnitude... nor am I certain which is the worst (though I lean
toward waxing as the worst).

I can just see some of those on .motss who obsess on food
twitching at the above image.  ;-)  On the other hand, the
phrase "intimate dinner" tends to leave me more amused than
anything else; I'm not entirely sure why.  I suspect it has
to do with my rather utilitarian approach to food.

Well, granted that I've done no sociology papers on this
hole topic, my not entirely negligible experience of butch
types with way too much testosterone is that the butcher
they are, the more they want it up the heinie.  I couldn't
very well say no, could I, I mean after all, I always obey
great big butch men in such circumstances, always.  

To tell the gospel truth, I've done it with a lot of
straight men and it was the main thing they were interested
in, indeed not a single one wasn't interested in that as the
main thing.  The only men I've ever been with who didn't
want to get fucked were gay.

Funny you'd say that today.  Yesterday I was thinking that since
Unitarianism (I've identified myself as a Unitarian here before)
originated in Transylvania, Dracula, or maybe Bela Lugosi as 
Dracula, would make a great Unitarian icon.

I've started making Szeckely gulyas' as a sacramental dish.

Bzzzt.  I am not paid to think. (there's one for you Quote file, Jez).
I am not paid to write position papers.  Or to analyze the position
papers of others.  Or to analyze the analysis of the position
papers of others.  Or to come up with convenient theories for why
we need to know what other people are saying in their position
papers.  I am paid, quite simply, to make sure that about fifty
programmers - paid more than me - are able to continue using 
their hardware productively.  And I am paid to make sure people
beyond Apple like what we are doing for them.  Quite different 
than sitting in a dusty office thinking up a topic no one else 
has written about so I can get tenure and spend more time in my
dusty office thinking about yet more arcane topics I can continue
to write about, thereby staying out of the classroom.  

I have, on occasion, been razed by friends for not going to Stanford.
Yes, I say, but at least my classes were led by a professor, and did
not require television monitors...

You're not alone, Max. I worked my way very carefully through four
posts about my SO without mentioning gender, in the hopes of being a
stealth heterosexual, and my father - my very own father - blew it for
me in a response post that managed to work a gender specific pronoun
into every line. (He did apologize nicely, but the damage was done.)

I think that people who know the genders involved fill them in so
automatically that they can't tell they aren't explicit in the text.
I'd be willing to bet that a significant percentage of those who
*don't* know the genders involved also fill them in automatically -
this explains the person who accused Chris Black, famous stealth
lesbian, of attempting to deceive people into thinking she was male.

There's a movie from the '30's that deals with this theme -- I can't
