No Baudelaire?
Dude, that's graduate work.

Spike's Bitches 22: You've got Angel breath
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risque (and frisque), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Yay, Daniel!
And for something completely different ... My boss is at flea's Looniversity nailing down details for a two-year-at-least project. I feel so espionage-y. Like I should have her tell him, "Your folks must work so hard, you should give them a raise."

Baudelaire is all depressing and deathy. I don't want to make my kids into premature Goths.

Betsy, I edited. I didn't mean Baudelaire.

While I approve of Rabelais's sexual enthusiasm, I don't think he'll provide the same educational value that Anne is espousing. However, Rabelais educated children would have a highly sophisticated view about wiping their ass.

I don't know who they are, except people talk about Rabelais when they mean "dirty." Stupid now. And, Tep, I don't know enough about the Bible to know if I have cites or not. Basically, I've read other people's books and taken in their opinion, I think. Which is all humbling and stuff, but better to admit and move on.(It could be he was speaking about third-century Miss Cleos.)

Heh. Not far off, actually. When he writes in Corinthians that women ought to have long hair, what was going on at that time was that in Corinth, there were tons of pagan religions that had their own temples and their own congregants. These pagan temples had "priestesses" who were essentially whores, because an aspect of these pagan religions was ritual sex w/the temple prostitutes. The hair thing comes in b/c the temple prostitutes had shaved heads, on purpose. So Godly women were exhorted to have long hair or cover their heads so that no one would mistake them for a temple prostitute. (Or a Miss Cleo.)
