In this, as in many other things, La Tep is me.We don't quite share a brain, but I suspect some kind of sublet, sometimes.

Deena, I'm glad Kara was your cheerleader today. And yay! for Aidan talking "to" people and interacting. Funny boy. The moon blanket story is cute, too.

Cindy, all good wishes to your family. Courage, strength, and health.

I clicked on both the links, and read too far. I just want to take the anti-sports for women fella out and use his head for a soccer ball--with the rest of him still attached.

I haven't seen Ricky Jay in forever, and that was only on tv. "Cards as weapons!"

I want to rewrite the boxer shorts. "If not it wasn't/weren't for the Buffistas, I may might never have known...etc."

Betsy forgot to tell us there was lovely music with the first link. I am however guessing that most people grimmace when they are hit by an elbow, ball or whatever.

Thank goodness for Buffistas., otherwise I would never have know that if it weren't for the raisin' my husband would be gay. Should I go tell him to be true to himself?

in other news I think people should go see robots. fun movie.

hugs to Cindy and family.

It isn't the raisins you have to worry about, it's the bananas.

if it weren't for the raisin' my husband would be gay.

His home environment and the culture around him has forced him onto an unnatural path. Not that we're judging, or anything. Just... you know, clearly we were intended to be gay. Or, maybe not we. Maybe just they. That site wasn't real concerned with the girls, was it?

Oh! I forgot. It's because of the cock, right? Everybody wants one.

COCKSICKLE COCKSICKLE COCKSICKLE!

Actually my article came from Foundation for the Family, so it's not just from any nutjob.

This is the source of both the gift book and the mothers' group rantings I posted earlier. Was given the FftF "How to raise your children book" for Christmas, and was suckered into attending one of their Bible studies prayer groups mother meetings a month ago. The best part of the mother's meeting was being advised that I should "turn to Jesus when my love tank isn't full."

In related news, I just learned the ASL sign for "lesbian." I'm not sure if I should be offended or not. You make an "L" with your right hand and put the webbing between your thumb and forefinger under your lower lip, palm on chin.

(pictures people all over the US sitting at their computers doing this)

(now pictures about half of them wiggling their tongues)

I was laughing out loud (and demanded a second opinion) when my ex-gf taught me this.

No comment.

My reaction exactly. But given that I'd just been through a discussion of how some signs are offensive to deaf people, I was thinking that this is a sign that I guess could be offensive to lesbian people. Or that the existance of the word "lesbian" could be offensive to some conservative people, or something. Having humor seems to be a touchy subject these days.

Of course, the fact that I learned this sign while learning signs to use with my baby will probably offend my entire family, so at least SOMEONE is being offended.

A telltale sign of paganism is nudity.

Cool, so you can blame it on heredity. "I was born that way."

Psychologist Robert Stoller said, “Masculinity is an achievement.”

That's nice. Every morning I find I've grown stubble. Apparently I can be proud of that.

Cause girls? Both icky and confusing.

Well, true. Of course, I kind of like that.

Meanwhile, holy hell. I have been watching David Attenborough's Life in the Freezer. There's a valley in Antarctica, completely bare of snow, that is the most arid place on earth. It hasn't rained or snowed there in centuries. Any precipitation would quickly evaporate anyway. The wind through the valley is so dry it sucks up any moisture present. He passed the mummified remains of a crabeater seal, 70 miles from the shore. It was perfectly preserved. Attenborough comments in passing that it's probably about three. Thousand. Years. Old.

I'm still freaked. Seriously, seriously freaked. (Checking prices to Antarctica too, but mostly freaked.) Oh, carnivorous ducks too. Not in the Valley of the Freeze-Dried. But, ducks. Carnivorous. SOOOO CUUUUTE!!!
