Following the inevitable break-up of the Blowjob Camels, my next band will definitely be called Trannie Messiah. I think I'll save Shrunken Billy Jean King for a side project.

Well I will try. This may be sort of amusing. So anyway, people tell me I look young for my age and that generally makes me happy. Today I am walking along and some guy (I would say around 20) checks me out and says "Whatsup, Gramma" when I walk by. I just looked at him and said "did you just call me gramma?" and he says "yup" with a big kind of flirty smile.

What is that all about? am I missing the lingo of the kids these days? Gramma?

He was trolling for cougars.

You can't win this fight Hank. There are people who think it's there, and there's nothing you can say that will make them change their minds.

The Chronicles of Narnia, however, is a legit and purposeful usage of the "Jesus figure". I don't think CS Lewis was trying very hard to hide the ball with that particular series.

My favorite Bukowski story was "The Stupid Christs", there is a Jesus statute that was trapped in a cage outside a church. The hero broke the statute out the night he quit his factory job (cage). So Buk was making himself a Jesus figure, not traditionally, but symbolically equating himself to the Jesus statute. So, I know the symbols happen, but not as often as profs say.

Sorry. I didn't realize you meant anyone on LawTalkers, not just anyone ever. I haven't written any novels but if I ever get around to writing one of the ones in my head, it won't have intentional religious symbolism. Just sex and violence.

Fu(kidding about the sex. and the violence. it would be a boring book)gee

I think you might be working too much, Hank. Either that or there are Jesus statutes and I am the last person to find out. In which case, fuck.

If only I understood the whole Jungian thing better, I could probably go off on a discussion that would drive Tittie(butnotass)Fucker to tears. Of boredom.

I'm bored too. So away we go...

A modern - day warrior
Mean mean stride,
Today's Tom Sawyer
Mean mean pride.

Though his mind is not for rent
Don't put him down as arrogant
His reserve, a quiet defense
Riding out the day's events
The river

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the mist, catch the myth
Catch the mystery, catch the drift

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his skies are wide

Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the space he invades
He gets by on you

No his mind is not for rent
To any god or government
Always hopeful, yet discontent
He knows changes aren't permanent
But change is

What you say about his company
Is what you say about society
Catch the witness, catch the wit
Catch the spirit, catch the spit

The world is, the world is
Love and life are deep
Maybe as his eyes are wide

Exit the warrior
Today's Tom Sawyer
He gets high on you
And the energy you trade
He gets right on to the friction of the day

Thank you, thank you, thank you. I had only a few lines looping through my head, and not in the right order, and now it's all much more linear and neat.

And I think I smell a song parody coming on.

And that reminds me of...

You run, run, run away
It's your heart that you betray
Feeding on your hungry eyes
I bet you're not so civilized

Well isn't love primitive
A wild gift that you wanna give
Break out of captivity
And follow me stereo jungle child
Love is the kill
Your heart's still wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

You talk, talk, you talk too me
Your eyes touch me physically
Stay with me we'll take the night
As passion takes another bite, oh
Who's the hunter, who's the game
I feel the beat call your name
I hold you close in victory
I don't wanna tame your animal style
You won't be caged in the call of the wild

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
Well I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior
I am the warrior

Shooting at the walls of heartache
Bang, bang
I am the warrior
And heart to heart you'll win
If you survive the warrior, the warrior

I bet this makes Slave sad.

To bring it back to classics lost in the Generation Gap...Art Carney has died. I know, it was on TV, not film, but the Honeymooners was very funny.

I'm too tired to figure out which character was the Jesus figure. Anyone?

From this I infer that the Mrs. thinks it is great stuff (or presumably there wouldn't have been many opportunities to try watching it with her). Ergo, it is not universally painful, just utterly and sublimely chick TV. At a previous job, the women lawyers put out P&P alerts when it was being re-run on A&E.

Women don't want to date 36 year old virgins. Shocking, I know, but true.
