Have fun, John.

The very first "senior moment" on record. And that, my friends, is what happened to the dinosaurs!

Expensive crackers. Canada must be trying to outstupid the US.

It's hard to understand the controversy as long as they don't expose their clappers.

Happy Birthday, Mikie!

You left out an important early step. Buy the turkey early enough for it to thaw out thoroughly in the refrigerator before Thanksgiving day.

My flight was being served by an rather effeminate flight attendant, who seemed to put everyone in a good mood as he served us food and drinks. As the plane prepared to descend, he came swishing down the aisle and told us that "Captain Marvey has asked me to announce that he'll be landing the big scary plane shortly, so lovely people, if you could just put your trays up, that would be super...." On his trip back up the aisle, he noticed this well-dressed and rather Arabic looking woman hadn't moved a muscle. "Perhaps you didn't hear me over those big brute engines but I asked you to raise your trazy-poo, so the main man can pitty-pat us on the ground." She calmly turned her head and said, "In my country, I am called a Princess and I take orders from no one." To which (I swear) the flight attendant replied, without missing a beat, "Well, sweet-cheeks, in my country I'm called a Queen, so I outrank you. Tray-up, Bitch."

They have been around since 1949. I enjoyed them while growing up. I miss the Saturday matinee with two feature films, newsreel, serial, and six cartoons.

Brand new Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon An honest to goodness, brand new Wile E. Coyote/Roadrunner cartoon made with today's technology (but all of the old humor). Enjoy!! This is the first Roadrunner done with computer graphics. Lots can be done with computer graphics that will be far less expensive to complete than those old hand drawn animations. The computer graphics look good, and the video still has that Roadrunner fun. Only 3 minutes, but 3 minutes of fun! Be sure to go to "full screen" mode. Click here

I think a boycott/protest might do some good. You could suggest that the school give early retirement at full pay just to get rid of him. The problem with that is that it might give the wrong incentive to all the other professors. GPA's not the most important thing in life, but it's not unimportant.

A driver was stuck in a traffic jam on the highway outside Washington, DC. Nothing was moving. Suddenly, a man knocks on the window. The driver rolls down the window and asks, "What's going on?" "Terrorists have kidnapped the entire US Congress, and they're asking for a $100 million dollar ransom. Otherwise, they are going to douse them all in gasoline and set them on fire. We are going from car to car, collecting donations." "How much is everyone giving, on an average?" the driver asks. The man replies, "Roughly a gallon."

The Smiths were unable to conceive children and decided to use a surrogate father to start their family. On the day the proxy father was to arrive, Mr. Smith kissed his wife goodbye and said, 'Well, I'm off now. The man should be here soon.' Half an hour later, just by chance, a door-to-door baby photographer happened to ring the doorbell, hoping to make a sale. 'Good morning, Ma'am', he said, 'I've come to ...' 'Oh, no need to explain,' Mrs. Smith cut in, embarrassed, 'I've been expecting you.' 'Have you really?' said the photographer. 'Well, that's good. Did you know babies are my specialty?' 'Well that's what my husband and I had hoped. Please come in and have a seat !. After a moment she asked, blushing, 'Well, where do we start?' 'Leave everything to me. I usually try two in the bathtub, one on the couch, and perhaps a couple on the bed. And sometimes the living room floor is fun. You can really spread out there.' 'Bathtub, living room floor? No wonder it didn't work out for Harry and me!' 'Well, Ma'am, none of us can guarantee a good one every time. But if we try several different positions and I shoot from six or seven angles, I'm sure you'll be pleased with the results.' 'My, that's a lot!', gasped Mrs.. Smith. 'Ma'am, in my line of work a man has to take his time. I'd love to be In and out in five minutes, but I'm sure you'd be disappointed with that.' 'Don't I know it,' said Mrs. Smith quietly. The photographer opened his briefcase and pulled out a portfolio of his baby pictures. 'This was done on the top of a bus,' he said. 'Oh, my God!' Mrs. Smith exclaimed, grasping at her throat. 'And these twins turned out exceptionally well - when you consider their mother was so difficult to work with..' 'She was difficult?' asked Mrs. Smith. 'Yes, I'm afraid so.. I finally had to take her to the park to get the job done right. People were crowding around four and five deep to get a good look' 'Four and five deep?' said Mrs. Smith, her eyes wide with amazement.. 'Yes', the photographer replied. 'And for more than three hours, too. The mother was constantly squealing and yelling - I could hardly concentrate, and when darkness approached I had to rush my shots. Finally, when the squirrels began nibbling on my equipment, I just had to pack it all in.' Mrs. Smith leaned forward. 'Do you mean they actually chewed on your, uh...equipment?' 'It's true, Ma'am, yes.. Well, if you're ready, I'll set-up my tripod and we can get to work right away.' 'Tripod?' 'Oh yes, Ma'am. I need to use a tripod to rest my Canon on. It's much too big to be held in the hand very long.' Mrs. Smith fainted.

Margaret Mead described "culture" as "an abstraction of the body of learned behavior which a group of people who share the same tradition transmit entire to their children, and, in part, to adult immigrants who become members of the society." See Wikiversity article. This emphasis on culture being a learned behavior works well for those who believe that homosexuality is a choice or that gays who become parents are training their children to be gay or that all gays are pedophiles. The term "gay culture" often serves as a pejorative when used by members of the homophobic culture. James Savick has described the homophobic culture quite succinctly in his comments. I remember the hippie culture being disparaged in the 1950s and 1960s as long-haired, unwashed nonconformists. The homophobe sees gays as something worse than nonconformist. Being considered a culture is a compliment for gays compared with other terms homphobes frequently use. I agree with earlier comments about the multiple cultures to which we all belong and the term "gay culture" being a totally incomplete description of who we are. But then I wonder about my own cultural assignment. I am a straight, southern, Christian father and grandfather who has many gay friends and who speaks up in forums such as this. Am I a member of the gay culture? If I am, how does that affect the definition of "gay culture"?
