I have a dream
My friends, think me not crazy. Think me not suffering from the delusions of an unstable mind. For never before have I seen with such clarity, such singularity of purpose and vision. My friends, my dream ha skept me awake for many a long night of late. For its boldness consumes me with desire. At times it even excites me to the point of becoming erotic. at times like those I "make friends" and bask in the afterglow of how much more satisfying the deed will be when actually done.

My friends, my dream is this...

To one day devour a kentucky derby winner.

To ingest its magnificent flanks and hindquarters with zealous gusto. To imbibe myself with its thundering power.

Then can I say "I have not lived in vain".

sonja's been reading "The Onion" again...

embear, there was a headline a few days ago about some geneticists creating a sperm cell from a stem cell, so in the very near future, true parthenogenesis may be possible. I was implying that you might be able to actually mate with yourself, but that of course is a really bad idea, genetically speaking. Talk about pulling out recessives...

Of course, they could conceivably transform a big batch of your stem cells into sperm cells and then scan them for undesirable recessives...

pulling out recessives?
Hey, don't do that! I'd be out a job!!!

Embear- a couple of lesbian friends of mine just headed down to their local bank to procure the stuff needed without ever having to involve the man. I think their second child (one each) is due to arrive in the next few weeks.

Capn, John Prine has a song for you
Woke up this morning
Put on my slippers
Walked in the kitchen and died
And oh what a feeling!
When my soul
Went thru the ceiling
And on up into heaven I did ride
When I got there they did say
John, it happened this way
You slipped upon the floor
And hit your head
And all the angels say
Just before you passed away
These were the very last words
That you said:

Chorus:
Please don’t bury me
Down in that cold cold ground
No, I’d druther have "em" cut me up
And pass me all around
Throw my brain in a hurricane
And the blind can have my eyes
And the deaf can take both of my ears
If they don’t mind the size
Give my stomach to milwaukee
If they run out of beer
Put my socks in a cedar box
Just get "em" out of here
Venus de milo can have my arms
Look out! I’ve got your nose
Sell my heart to the junkman
And give my love to rose

Repeat chorus

Give my feet to the footloose
Careless, fancy free
Give my knees to the needy
Don’t pull that stuff on me
Hand me down my walking cane
It’s a sin to tell a lie
Send my mouth way down south
And kiss my ass goodbye

Repeat chorus

I never said that I DIDN'T like men! I would like to have a commitment one day with one of them, just waiting for the right one. Hopefully, it will be before I'm 35 and in time to have kids. I still have plenty of time.......
