not-ends 20

Can we please remove the menu item "Beer Battered Shrimp" from all menus in the land? The conjunction of those first two words is an unfortunate and blase reminder of one of the more horrific aspects of this society. How many alcohol-related domestic violence cases were there last year? How many beer-battered wives? How many beer-battered children? If you insist on eating our little sea friends, how about re-naming that item "Beer Baptized Shrimp"? Beer Barnacled? Beer Bellied!

As many as half the slaves brought to America were not captured by europeans, but sold to them by other african tribes. I'm not saying this means anything, but let's not erase this slice of history. Been enough history-erasing going on...

The difference between bad lover and good? A bad lover leaves an ejaculation-sized wet spot. A good lover leaves a body-sized sweat spot.

Printed lyrics with albums is a great idea...that musicians take a bit far. No, Sir Elton, i actually don't need to decode, deconstruct, or quote the line "Woh oh oh, woh oh, oh yeah".

One of the few things i love about this country is that our government has always had to lie to get us to go to war.

Show me someone who doesn't have trust issues, and i'll show you a very great fool.

Men, if you should ever fail to get your woman off, remember this: sometimes they fail to get themselves off.

Can it be any surprise that some might observe the self-oriented behavior of infants, and conclude that humans are inherently selfish? Is no one familiar with the psychological concept of projection? In a society founded on greed, what else WOULD we project upon our babies?

Can i be the only one who's realized that one ought do a quick floss BEHIND the back molars?

If you found a community of chimpanzees who wore clothes all the time, would you not eventually cry out "Stop it! What is WRONG with you??" So why aren't you bothered by humans who refuse to be naked?

Long-term monogamy lowers a male's testosterone. Lowered testosterone weakens the immune system, and diminishes general health. Why does no death certificate contain the words "death by monogamy"?
