... and if I happen to be all of them?

Dolly Parton has a fabulous set ... that's headline news.

Fishing line is somehow less appalling than 'ripping them off' ... it was the act of violent mutilation I reacted to not the idea of a sex change or even becoming a eunuch ...

Yep they do it in other sports so why not the multi billion sport of football. Need to send a few of these off and that would stop it right away.

Should get a yellow for 'simulation' ... this would be more likely in the English League they seem to have forgotten this rule for the WC. As for video technology FIFA are very resistant cos they like the game to flow and not stop start as in American Football.

Now everyone knows you wear suspenders.

In that moment you too were keanu reeves. Crazy but so obviously true.

I left those notes for you.

How about Non-Daoist Traditions ... for ... well everything except Daoism?

Hang on ... they manually ripped off their own testicles? ... I stopped reading after that ...

Straw dogs and Englishmen go out in the midday sun. (no reason for me to post this just felt like it).

I don't think we should make too much of the handbag remark ... I used it as an example of the kind of throwaway comment which can seem demeaning ... but in some contexts it might be humorous or just maybe critical of some kinds of materialistic obsession. I used to work with a woman who had more than 200 pairs of shoes (Emelda Marcos style) ... she told me that when she was down or fed up she would go and buy another pair. So shoes meant more to her than just objects I suppose. A bit like some men are about cars or other gadgets. I'm a bit of a sucker for Apple products and often go to the Applestore to salivate but they are so over priced that I can only afford one Macbook (white) and Mac Mini (cheapish). I think the thing is in our culture everyone (almost) ... men and women ... is materialistic and a lot of people obsess over trivia. Luckily TBs type people have something more in their lives (hopefully). Also we are conditioned in various ways to antagonise each other. Race, religion, gender, nationality ... governments and so on have invested in accentuating the differences. They like to see us tear each other apart ... this way they can send us to war with each other with ease. Gender wars I think, are the product of each one of us being conditioned to not feel whole. If we felt whole then we would understand that all beings are a balance of yin/yang and that if we were fully integrated, complete and at ease with ourselves then no-one could manipulate us into hate. In terms of gender conflict our sexual energy is being used to mess us up. If we cultivate then the more balanced we become the less this is possible because we feel at ease with ourselves and others.

I always tell my dentist to cheer up cos he spends all day looking down in the mouth ....

Stupid and stupider me.

Spain has no chance they have gone home.

Yes I'd forgotten Italy ... who were very poor although they beat England of course. Anyway the USA team are a kind of German product with Klinsmann as manager ... another Spurs hero so maybe I should support USA if it wasn't for the fact that they won't win.

Yes we are used to watching world cups when England has been sent home early. BTW the Germans usually win ... unless its Brazil or Argentina then they don't. So I'm going for Holland ... their manager is coming to manage Manchester United next season ... which is not a good thing in itself but he was tipped to move to Spurs before that so some connection there. ... a Brit won wimbolden last year ... please try to keep up ...

Now you're talking ... the Hermetic sub should called The Cauldron ... the Taoist section could Funny Hats and Fu ... the Vedic Section Mats and Lycra ... and the Buddhist section Excuse Me That's My Vajra.

We could have a sub called Chicken (and similar animal) Sacrifice

No its a mini league the first round and then after that knock out. Winning the mini league is based on 3 points for a win and 1 point for a draw.

A dyslexic owc?

I wood but I can't see it for the trees.
