I once went out with a psyco. She'd get very wierd and after we broke up she wrote me from Edmonton saying she was had schiziophrenia and was being admitted to a mental hospital for treatment. I was pretty sad for her, but I also though, "well that explains a lot". Many years later a friend told me that she fabricated the schiziophrenia story in the hopes that I would take pity on her and take her back. Sheeeeesh!!!!!! Although that explanation too may be one of her fabrications as she's not quite in touch with reality. She had an odd way of defining words too. Where as most people I know define monogomy as "forsaking all others save your chosen partner" she defined it as "forsaking all others save your chosen species". Yes it was down to the clinic for some testing after I was made aware of this. From her I went to a serious but ill-fated relationship with someone who was on the opposite end of the sexual spectrum. She thought group sex was if she participated. She didn't want foreplay, didn't want variety. Just missionary position then get off. No experimentation or anything. I managed to convince her to try oral sex one day and much to my suprise she didn't particularily enjoy recieving it, but loved giving it. Go figure! Needless to say that relationship didn't go very far. Now with my wife... well we've got everything going on in all the right places. Of course with two kids we don't find the time to get it going that often, but when we do... BAM! Fireworks!

Where I come from, "spunk" is sort of a positive term for high spirits or being kind of merrily gutsy. So "cat spunk" sort of reminds me of "lemon zest," but from the context, it does not appear at all so pleasant. I can guess that it's some sort of icky bodily function, but the exact one eludes me.

She stuck with it for a year and then gave it up. I wouldn't let her sell it in case she wanted to take it up again, and also because I secretly wanted to try to learn a bit myself.

Another classic ad campaign in England associated with this product. The usual scenario is a young lady clad in a negligee or similar, dreamily inserting a flake between her lips (BIG CLOSE UP HERE) and seductively breaking off a bit. Not biting, you understand, but breaking it between her lips. It always flakes a bit (hence the name, right?) so she has to scoop the flakes between her lips with an imaculately manicured finger, possibly insterting one of them into her mouth to remove the melted choccy. I don't think the symbollism is wasted on anyone, is it? Now, if you'll excuse me, I think I need to lie down. I have this image of a naked lady, body paint carefully applied, eating a flake in the prescribed manner, while straddling a rough grave stone.

Back when I announced the birth of my second child, Kerala, on the mailing list, someone (I think Monya De) asked me if I'd experienced any problems associated with being in a "bi-racial" relationship. I meant to answer that question then, but I was off the list for awhile, busy with the task of fatherhood. When I got back on the list I'd just forgotten to answer it. So I'll answer that question now... Being an anthropology major I prefer to use the term "bi-cultural" as there is no scientific recognition of the term "race". There's no way to define a race in anything other than shallow terms like skin colour or facial structure and these just don't work. There are no genetic markers that are present in every member of a so-called "race" and excluded by every one not a member of that "race". So as far as population biology goes (the branch of anthropology that looks at the biological distinctiveness of different groups of human beings) the term "race" is of no use. Generally speaking, I use the word "culture" instead of "race" because our differences as human beings really lies in our culture not our genes. Genetic differences between people from different ends of the world are not terribly remarkable, but cultrual differences can be vast and exciting. So if asked if I've experienced any problems associated with being in a bi-cultural relationship, I'd have to say that the problems have been hardly noteworthy. There have been the odd "dirty looks" from prejudiced strangers of all backgrounds that we pass on the street. But since I'm not the type of person who cares about the opinions of such people, it's never bothered me. The only significant problem I encountered was with my wife's family. People from her state in India (Kerala) are very tolerant and very friendly. But they're still not very accepting of different cultures and really don't marry outside their own culture. My wife's brother and sisters were very upset when she announced she was getting married to a Canadian. My wife's parents, on the otherhand, were very happy for her and wrote her to say they were glad she found someone she loved and who loves her and is a good person. This didn't go over too well with Beena's siblings. But fortunately, I won over their children right away and after Beena's brother and sisters got to know me the whole family accepted me. So as you can see, even this problem wasn't anything major. Of course Canada is probably the best country to live in if you're in a bi-cultural relationship because it's not really that big a deal up here. If American TV is anything to go on it would seem that it is a big deal in the states. Everytime they depict a bi-cultural relationship there's always some sort of crisis or drama that just leaves my wife and I going "What the..." My mother and stepfather have some friends from South Africa and to them a bi-cultural relationship is very shocking. I guess if we lived there there might be more crisis and drama in our lives, but here in Canada it's just not that big a deal. And the people who it is a big deal to are so small (in every way) that they just don't matter.

I take exception to that statement!!!! I'm a synth geek too! It's just that I'm an even bigger Atari cart geek than I am a synth geek. But I was a synth geek long before I was an Atari cart geek. Infact, part of the reason I became an Atari cart geek was because it is much cheaper than being a synth geek. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ >Maybe the next bidet tape will be an >incentive for me to try again. ~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~^~ Thug 2: Yeah.

My friend's cat had a serious love affair with his Mirage (which was his last love affair as he had his balls cut off just afterwards).

To which Crackers (among others) responded: > Hmmmm.... I smell a B-Movie!!! This *is* starting to remind me of, er, ah, a "B-movie" I once saw = where a painter is visited by two lovelies who provide all the canvas = he needs. Soon the damsels are painted (all over) in different color = schemes so that when and where they touch each other the colors = change as the pigments mix . . . As you might imagine, eventually = the colors merge . . . Fun with finger painting!
