The problem, however, is that my instant, gut reaction is that the thesis is clever bullshit, which means that actually reading the book would be a wholehearted repudiation of its argument.
Well, actually, the theory was that if you are well informed your gut reaction takes into account the things you would consider in a more involved analysis but in proper proportion.

Spree: Mantrap Lodge, on the shores of Big Mantrap Lake.
Oh dear

You will eventually find your way home, you'll want to return to the lake again soon because Big Mantrap truly is one of the state's most beautiful settings for a fishing trip. Besides the variety of game fish in the lake, when you get around that next bend you could see an osprey swoop down for a fish or a bald eagle doing a bit of nest repair. White-tailed deer are frequently spotted standing in shallow bays drinking, along with otter, beaver and more.

I think sunny knows where to take Spanky.

Well done.

PS: The woman who is the topic of my previous post actually wound up giving an STD (I believe it was herpes) to a man who performed cunnilingus on her. Believe it or not, the infection attacked his eye. The poor bastard went on medication for it which wilted his brain. he lost his shit and started acting like a dog and had to be forcibly evicted from my college town after threatening the mayor with bodily harm for ticketing him for riding an ATV through town. I learned later that in something like 5% of people who take a certain medication for herpes or whatever STD he had, mental illness erupts. Poor bastard was a nice fellow...

Throw in a mention of Yale and an offer of concert tickets and I think you'd have something for your form file.

Wow. I knew you were Green Party, but I didn't know you took the whole "kill no living thing" mantra so literally.

I'm picturing the episode of Cathouse that featured the father and son who went to the Bunny Ranch and shared a couple of hookers in the same room.

Sperm is awful. Makes a mess of sex. And you can't even jerk off without making a goddamned mess. The body should be designed to come without ejaculation if you so choose. Life'd be so much easier.
