so now Marcy thinks Veronica is Laura while Kim thinks that Tim is related to
Laura. Marcy plans Veronica's Party while Kim plans the Virtual Adoption
University course offerings. Kim and Marcy made a hilarious team on that
"Slut" thread. Maybe now we should conclude that Marcy, and not Tina, is Kim's
real lost mommy.

NO. no no no no NO!

I am Dorothy Fuldheim, and I am married to Ghouldardi. Dick Goddard is our
child. Tim is Laura's son and also her husband (GSA strikes again). Tina and
steve are having a secret affair and SCOM is their love child. Marley is
Celesta when she's not being Marcy or Jessica. Veronica is Linda Fortney on
acid.

But the REAL secret is that DeerWatson is EVERYONE here, including all of
the people named above. She is currently residing in Parma, Ohio and has
been spotted in Wal Mart buying cases and cases of white socks.

Love,
Dorothy Fuldheim Ghoulardi.

From Mary Ellen's Barnyard:

Hmmm. Now I'm totally confused. I just read a post from Jay on another
thread,which said that Marcy is a "VICTIM". Now, if she's a victim, doesn't
that make her a birthmother who suffers from PTSD and was probably coerced
into being an adoption facilitator and an adoptive parent, which then must
mean that she's married to Barnaby? Or does it mean that she's Dick Goddard's
cousin?

And, that reminds me, I don't believe that you're married to Dick Goddard.
Everyone *knows* that Dorothy Fuldheim has been secretly married to Captain
Penny for years. I know for a fact that Tina is *not* having an affair with
Steve, her heart has always belonged to Roy Rogers, and she hasn't been the
same since his recent ride off into the sunset. However, I do remember
reading in a past issue of "Cleveland Magazine" that Steve was at one time
romantically linked to Paige Palmer.

And, by the way, I just attended a major retrospective of Mary Ellen's
cartoons at MOMA. Eat your hearts out. Velveeta on Ritz crackers were served
at the opening with Carling Black Label beer. Very classy affair.

all right, all right, all right I am a birthmother, Kim's birthmother, we were
re-united during the WACO incident, two FBI agents acted as the mediator, I had
Kim when I was 15, I couldn't stand the shame, ( I lived on a Cherokee
reservation), that's right Kim, you are half Cherokee, we should have told you,
you could have registered and had a free college education. Your father was a
proud warrior, his name was " eating at K-Mart", he was a beautiful
man.............I loved him so. I placed Kim with an Orthodox Jewish family in
Brooklyn, she was raised Hassidic...............Her real name is Kim
Keistersteiner, I named her on the OBC, little eating at K-Mart.............so
there you have the horrible truth..............Kim you are the best little girl

I actually tried to interview Dorothy Fuldheim once. I was in high school
and we were supposed to interview a person as an English class assignment.
Most of my classmates ended up interviewing the school janitor, whereas I
went for the big hit. I made an appointment and went downtown one morning,
found her office in a building bigger than ANYTHING I'd ever seen to that
point (I grew up in the rustic areas around Cleveland), and cooled my
heels for an hour in her outer reception area. She finally cancelled me
and I went home depressed. It ended up okay, however, since I finally
managed to interview Herb Score (ok CAT member, who is Herb Score -- 2
bonus points for this one). He was a good guy.

But Laura's first husband had an affair with Marcy and they had three other
children, Kellee, Jim and Me. Kellee actually used to be Jay, but then she
had the sex-change operation, and now posts under both names because
his/personality split due to the trauma of finding out that Tim wasn't
really her father. Laura's first husband was Ron's weiner-mobile driving
dad. Jim had such a great adoption experience that he went on to become an
adopted father. I was the late suprise child and was relinquished to
Marley and Celesta, who used to live together as lesbian lovers. After
being raised with them, I ran away and had a 9-year affair with Barb before
meeting my true love, Robb Eurytes, who is currently in the process of
leaving his wife for me.

Steve !

I didn't know you grew up near Cleveland! I'm sorry Dorothy cancelled your
interview, but Herb Score is a much better interview anyway! He is sincerely a
wonderful person, I think, and while I cursed him to hell and back during many
an Indians game, due to the all to frequent "It's back, it's going, it's out of
here!!!! Oh, excuse me, caught in center field for out number three..." He's
always a kind and interesting man outside the booth. And was a helluva
pitcher, too.

I don't know how I will get used to his absence, and though it's wrong to say,
Davey Nelson will not be an appropriate replacement for at least a decade, if
he can stand it for that long!

Sorry, I forgot to induct you into the CAT cult. CATs are Cleveland Area
Triadians. Our soul purpose is to support Cleveland culture and revive the
good old days of Ghoulardi, Dorothy Fuldheim, Barnaby, Capt. Penny and Dick
Goddard. Eventually, we will construct a CAThouse somewhere in the area of
Euclid Beach Park where we will hold Ghoulardi Parties and discuss Dorothy
Fuldheim's hair. CATs are also an adjunct of Bastard Nation. Any
Cleveland area triadian who belongs to BN is automaticaly a CAT. In fact,
our CAT status alone is what has held some us from tearing the throats out
of others here on aa. Many of us were totally insensitive clods until we
discovered our CATtiness. Now, if you're a CAT you're AOK.

He was. Great interview, especially for a greenhorn like me, which I was
at the time. We talked about twenty minutes one morning. He certainly
didn't have to do the interview. No pretense, just an honest, nice guy.

And he made the Indians sound interesting too, which was a real feat there
in the 70's. I remember going to the Stadium for a game, me and about
3,000 other hardy souls, sitting in the left field seats and catching the
lake breeze. We'd carry a small radio with us and listen to Herb call the
game. I'm sad they tore the Stadium down, but it was a cavern and never
really good for baseball.

I'd still kill for two ticks to the Jake.

Yes he was, as was Bob Feller. Herb Score pitched for the Tribe, was hit
between the eyes with a baseball, and was never the same.

Now, what was the name of Channel 5's dance show, the lame copy of American
Bandstand? And who was the host? Does anyone remember?

I saw Ted Williams at the old Stadium when I was 10. I have no idea who
played for the Indians then, but it was certainly in the era of Bob Feller,
Larry Dobey, Mike Lopez, Al Garcia, and Lou Beaudreau. I also saw the
Beatles there in 1966.

The Big Five Show later changed to Upbeat. I loved that show. Where else
could you find Bob Seeger, Terry Knight and the Pack (the precursor to
Grand Funk), Jean-Paul Vignon, the Grasshoppers, and the Choir all on one
show? I assume this is what you mean--or are you going back really far
with the Phil McLean Show?

Hmmmm. I don't remember Phil McLean. But I loved watching Dick Webster. What
a man. He didn't seem to get much traffic from the performers in town who
were playing at LaCave (sp?), though. Of course, The Big Five Show had stiff
competition from "Polka Varieties", another one of my favorites, along with

Gheez. Got me on that. Wasn't his side-kick that invisible bird? I really

Gene Carroll was also one of the original dead beat/absent fathers. He was
married to his 1st wife, had 3 children, then when he brought the Andrew
Sisters to Hollywood he decided to take up with one of them and so left
his wife and children. He never chose to see his kids again. He never had
any other children. He didn't marry any of the Andrew Sisters, instead he
married Sally Sage whose one and only movie I believe was Espionage Agent
(1939). Gene was from Chicago, his parents having come to Chicago from
England where'd they'd gone from Ireland. Gene tried to make it in
Hollywood before settling on Cleveland. The one and only movie he directed
was Air Mail Pilot (1928)

Anyway, as a father, and grandfather, Gene was a total failure. His 3rd
wife Helen jealously guarded him from any contact with his children and
grandchildren but Gene himself had turned his back on all of them long
before he met Helen. His younger daughter Kit went to Cleveland and was in
the audience once, she tried to see her father backstage, he refused to
see her. His irresponsibility as a father and the way he treated his own
children has had a profound effect on his 3 children (only one survives)
and his grandchildren. My DH was his first grandchild. Gene refused to
acknowledge him. When he graduated PhiBetaKappa from college he still
refused to acknowledge him. He was the first of Gene's
children/grandchildren to go to college. In my book, Gene Carroll was a
total failure in life because of the way he treated his own flesh and
blood. Nothing he did in Cleveland can ever atone for the way he treated
his family. And for that alone he may be mighty warm now that he's
departed this world.

His brother Albert, BTW, was an outstanding Shakesperean actor and also a
creator of NY Times crossword puzzles.

Both. She's also having a secret affair with Joel Rose.

I'm not married to Dick Goddard. I'm married to Ghoulardi and Little Dickie

That's how rumors get started. Captian Penny is a closet homosexual (hence

Have you seen the "Ghoulardi" book? There is a photograph of him playing
at a basketball game - he's wearing (oh what do you call those shirts they
wear to play basketball - jerseys?) anyway, he's wearing one of those that
says "I Love Dorothy". Wasn't that sweet? He always loved me.

Love,

His "mighty" career in Cleveland adds proof to the belief of one's kharma
coming around on the big wheel. If you'd ever seen his anemic show, you would
have known that what I wrote was in sarcasm. I'm sorry that it hit a sore

Barbara already posted that info. Of course you also know that Herb Score was
Rookie Of The Year in 1955, the same year he played in the All Star game. My
'50's Tribal knowledge was branded into my brain by my older brother, who
idolized the Tribe, and in particular, Bob Feller. I met Bob Feller a couple
of years ago, which was very exciting. It was kind of like meeting the Zeus
of Cleveland Sports. No, actually, that would probably be "Nap" Lajoie or,
perhaps, Tris Speaker.

Whatever happened to Rocky Colavito?

I am so happy, Mrs. Ghoulardi, that Mr. G came out. I'm sure it's soothed
your wracked and wretched heart to be able to look at that picture and know
that your beloved, at least once, acknowledged you as the love of his life.
His little boom boom games were simply his way of acting out his
discomfort with the love that has no name.

By all means necessasry,

Hi Elizabeth--I was aware of your "relation" to Gene Carroll, and some of
the details, but not at such length before. Thanks for posting this. And
I find it very curious that some he gave some of his proteges, such as
Andrea Carroll his last name. What in the world was that about?

Actually, I think that Phil McLean was on WJW (or the call letters before
it became WJW). It was on Saturday afternoons around 1 PM I think, and
pretty much like Bandstand. It was, however, on Cleveland TV way before
Bandstand was on the scene. I was watching it, I think, around 1955. Phil
had a co-host, but I can't think of her name. Arlene something maybe. One
of thet more annoying segments was a lip-schync contest. (Remebmer Lloyd
Thaxton 10 years later--ack!)

But I loved watching Dick Webster. What

I only came to appreciate Polka Varieties much only later in life. When I
worked in trucking, I used to drive people away by regularly listening to
the Polka Town show on WZAC every afternoon and learned about the
difference between Slovenian polkas and Polish polkas, the buttonbox
accoardian, women's polka bands, polka masses and Doc Laucshe. "I'm packing
my bags I'll soon be leaving. I'm going to Polka Town.

It never occured to me that The Gene Carroll Show was performance art, but
you're correct.

Don't remember those. When I as in high school my boyfriend got stuck
going on a family outing to Channel 3 and reported back that the Barnady
set was absolutely hideous

I think I pre-date you Lyddie. I have a quite clear memory of Gene
Sheldon, in his pre-Barnaby days being on a Channel 5 Show hosted by Bob
Dale, whispering into a pop bottle and getting an echo back.

Is it any wonder that so much talent later came out of Cleveland?

ROTFLMAO & PIMP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Now I know why I always get confused when choosing a public restroom!!!! And
why I have the strange predilection for sleeping with women!! I am going to
sign off now and contact the Jerry Springer Show so I can get on there and
bitch-slap myself! Would anyone else care to join me? We could make a
weekend of it up there in the Windy City.

This is the best laugh I've had in a while! And I even went to see "There's
Something About Mary" this weekend. Which, BTW, is HILARIOUS!!!!!!!!!!! I
highly recommend it, but not for the easily offended. Definitely not for the
PC among us, if there are any!

BTW, who actually wrote this? I want to know who my other sibling is besides
Jim. There are some presents to be caught up on! Sounds like a family
reunion is in order. Perhaps we can all get together someday.

Yes it is, and it arrived this afternoon. I've only looked at the pictures
so far. I enjoyed the picture of you with Smoochie Gordon. Ah! What
memories! I do realize however, that that was just a publicity shot. Your
heart lay elsewhere.

It's my understanding he allowed a few proteges to use his last name. It
was most likely a business relationship, anything for a buck, he probably
always hoped one of them would make it to the big time and he could live
through that person. There was never any adoptions and I don't know if the
name changes were done legally in court or not. He cared for only himself.

Well, Andrea must have been a disappointment! I didn't think there were
any adoptions involved--just a weird ego thing. I must admit that he was
not my favorite TV personalty. I think I used to have an Uncle Jake
button, but it's not in my collection. Such a cold-hearted SOB, with such

Whoa. I didn't know anything about this. Thanks for sharing it, though it
must be painful.

I do remember the show. It was another one of those uniquely Cleveland
things. I'm trying to remember when it finally ended and why. Anyone know?

Sorry, I made the incorrect assumption that anyone who had seen this show
would know that I was not seriously saying that Gene was the founder of
performance art. Barbara, don't you think the art historians attribute that
title to the dada movement? Anyhow, we used to watch that show for laughs,
along with "Polka Varieties", another spectacular Cleveland Cultural
Contribution.

Oops, I apologize in advance if I've offended anyone by slurring "Polka
Varieties".

I left the North Coast in the early seventies, and I don't remember it still
being on when I left. My guess is that it went off the air because it was so

Gene Carroll died in March, 1972. He was on vacation at his winter home in
FL but had taped the shows in advance so they were still being aired right
up to his death.

Depending on how you define early 70's it was probably still on when you
left. And it may have been bad but it went off the air because Gene
Carroll died. He died in March, 1972 and the show was still being aired at
that time.

Like Expressionism. Barb, why is Modernism much more fun than
Post-Modernism? At least imo, but then I think the world ended in 1965.

Hmmm. I have an Annie Sprinkle tape. She certainly invites the audience
into ....her......er.....personal space.

Now here is the big question--why do the same people who defend Annie
Sprinkle's art get upset over the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue?

Yeah, but I'm thinking about how it ties in politically. The prime example
is The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari, which is definitely a statement about the
upheaval the First World War caused--especially in Germany--where previous
values and culture were swept away. Belief in G-d and authority, for
instance; the destruction of monarchies throughtout Europe, political
assasinations on both sides (from the Romanovs in Russia to Rosa Luxumberg,
et al); the rise of Bolshevism and the Nazi Party, once hand-in-hand, then
the break; the rise of psychoanalysis, sexual liberation, decadence. While
Expressionism is definitely a subjective view,the artist's perceptions seem
to me to be tied to the political culture surrounding her or him.

I'm looking at POMO in terms of literary criticism, which has subsumed
politics on the left and rendered it totally useless. (Along with the
pablum sucking liberals). Foucault has some interesting things to say
regarding history and the culture of domination, but all in all I find this
intellectual masturbation. I'm not real up on art per se, though. It's
sort of strange; I'm a literary realist, yet a cinematic expressionist and
naturalist. (though I do like Robbe-Grillet) Just saw the John
Frankenheimer film "Seconds" last night. Frankly, I'd never heard of it.
It was a bomb at the time, but is a cult classic now. Some interesting
adoption themes in the abstract, and it made perfect sense to me.
Naturalism and Expressionism are Realism on bad acid. (Or good acid
depending on your taste.)

I find a lot of POMO art pretensious and show-offy I've seen stuff at the
Wexner Center that makes no sense whatsoever. One comes to mind: a guy
spent 45 minutes on this round, blood covered plastic mat with pockets in
it. Some of these pockets had letters he had written to Nathaniel
Hawthorne and he read them to the audience. Other pockets were empty,
which was suppose to symbolize something. This was supposed to be a
statement about AIDS. This guy had way too much time on his hands, and
nobody knew what he was talking about.

There's this other guy in town, the notorious Damon Zex who has a show on
access where he shouts fuck at everybody for 30 minutes.. I knew him when
he was Fred and into pyramid power. One day at a poetry reading I was
doing, Chris Anarchist and I, along with the drummer from Scrawl decided to
do a counter oblesk power demo while Fred was showing off. We marched in
and threw pennies at the audience and rang sleighbells. People thought
this was art and Fred got pissed at us for spoiling his act.

Well, I don't know. Nobody forces Kathy Ireland to be a model. I think
she's defining herself, too. Anya maybe could pick up some extra money at
a teaching hospital. BTW, I once talked to Karen Finnely on the phone, and
she sounded normal.

All in all, I like thing that look like something I can concretely relate
to. I think the 90's suck and we should all go back to the 1920s or 1950s
which is my favorite decade.

Right. Klimt comes to mind, all that fin de siecle (sp?) comes to mind.
Did Klimt (I know I"m spelling that wrong, too!) and Freud hang out in
coffee houses together? Freud's checkered history see has been revised for
popular consumption, but I think the original Ziggy is much more
interesting that the older, respected herr doktor.

Hmm. I'm trying to think whom that could be compared against today, and
can't. I"m not up on contemporary art, which to me, seems all over the map
now.

Tzara is very big with my Russian artist friends and punks, though their

Well, I sort of see realism and expressionism as the same thing, just
different aspects. While we may live in a surrealistic world (and I like
surrealism), expressionist interpretation--and actual vision, is rather
common for me. I walk a lot, and way before MTV, I was making music videos
from my surroundings. Things are always out of whack while I'm walking.
Nothing is as it seems.

> i personally prefer surrealist films- fellinni, cronenberg,

Ah, "Crash" It certainly gives a different view of traffic accidents.
Right after I saw the movie there was this 7-car crash on I71. Obviously
an orgy.

lynch.

Yummy.

A friend of mine--and an adoptee (to keep things on topic) freaked out at
Blue Velvet and thought he was back in Middletown, Ohio, and had to leave
the theatre. Have you ever been to Middletown?

You got it. I knew the original assistant director, and he hated the
place. His office was over on High Street, so he didn't have to go in the
WC much himself, but when he did he got terrible dizzy spells and
headaches. He's in Florida now. Before the Center opened, our ATD took me
over for a personal tour. In one of the performance spaces there were like
101 reel-to-reel tape decks, each one set a second or so apart, saying the
same thing. There was also a set of chairs so you could sit down and
"listen" at your leisure. Perfect for schzoids and paranoids.

I've heard stories where visiting artists and performers can't figiure out

Don't know that one. There were, however, clumps of artistic dirt that
Groundskeeping once hauled away.

It's representative of the old OSU Arsenal. Can't you tell that the Wexner

Not, not OUR Ilych! When he was a young exile in Siberia one of is
favorite pasttimes was to hang by his feet from a trapezee he hooked up on
a tree. Does this explain it all?

Ever read Pogoli (sp again?) He theorized that Hitler was actually a
minimalist. I'm sure the Fueher would be insulted being an admirer of the
Academy.

I think that's me. I like bronze doors and Carrvaggio. And the

Oh and there was another installation. A bunch of 2 x 4s nailed together,
rather sloppily at that, that was supposed to look like a half-finished
kiosk. My interpretation, that is.

One time a friend of mine who has a gallery his beauty shop got this woman
to do a show. She'd gotten great reviews for other things, and he was
really happy to get her. Until he saw her show--which consisted of several
hundred stray gloves that she'd been collecting for 10 years. You know,
gloves and mittens you find in the street. She nailed them to them to his
wall (gee, thanks!) . The finishing touch was a small pile of dust and
floor trash left on the floor along with the dustpan and broom. He thought
she's left it there, swept it up and threw it out. Oh oh! That was the
ponit of the show! Even the most of indulgent of critics thought this was
a crock.

It's also been pointed out that the weeds and the long entrance way is a

Alley.

Egon Shiele.. who was a friend of Klimpt.. would get the homeless
girls from the gutter and do some amazing watercolors/gouache.. of
them..

Shiele did porn drawings.. His mistress Wally.. and she was Klimpt's
mistress also, delivered the porn drawings. ..Shiele went to jail for
doing said porn drawings..<s>

But what I find interesting is that he dropped Wally and married for
his parents sake.. or societies sake.. "Death and Maiden" is an
amazing painting.. showing the farewell embrace of he and Wally.

From a Chronology of Shiele.. "1907 Shiele meets Gustav Klimpt and
remains his friend till the elder artist's death."

Barb said that she thought Klimpts women looked like they had a
lobotomy.. I find that interesting.. Shiele's women.. wow were they
real..

I saw a portrait of a pregnant woman he did in Ottawa.. I saw
pointillism on her belly Barb..<s>

The painting by Klimpt.."The Three Ages of Women." 1905.
My daughter gave me a framed print for xmas..Part of the painting..
The part with the woman and child..the old woman was taken out of the

But this applies to alt.adoption.. She and I had been talking about my

I know Degas did not like women.. He painted them.. But the dance
master was always the main character..

Now my hero.. is Artemisia Gentileschi..
From the Caraviaggio... And this again applies to my issues around my
bson.. Women at that time.. If they were women of property, and she
was, were raped and spoiled.. So the fellow that raped a woman in that
time would have to marry her and or get her money..
But I think with Artemisia was left at the alter.. Only she was a
fighter.. There was a rape trial...1612.

Orazio Gentileschi brought the rapist Agostino Tassi to trial..

Artemisia said at the trial that the man promised to marry her..etc..
She ended up being married to another, who she never lived with..
She was spoilt goods..that being the bottom line.

But my point is that she became an amazing painter.. "Susanna and the
Elders" being one of them.. Shows a woman on the bottom of the
picture, half naked..Men, like judges over her.. her arms are up in
defense..
Ohhh that takes me to my issues from /65.. My being caught in the
maelstrom of being pregnant.. and not able to go to the fellow I am
pretty sure is the bfather..cause of the builder, the spanner in the
works..
A lot of Gentileschi's paintings are not attributed to her..<s>
I find that very interesting too.

Degas was interesting in that he did not paint from life models. He had entree

But what's the fun then? I frankly find her work pornographic. That's
doesn't mean it's wrong, bit I think she objectifies herself, which may be
something all together different. I don't know. I'm not an artist, art
critic, or art historian.

The museum here used to have one of his littles bronzes with *real*
tulle tutus. I think it went missing. The San Francisco museums have a
terrible reputation for losing art...

Interesting.. As I have a few paintings in the works.. and need to get
back to them..
There was a layover in Chicago.. the train was nine hours late.. Going
out west.. I saw Georgia O'Keefe's.. mountains.. In the Art
Institute.. I saw O'Keefe's.. paintings of them..

I always thought art to me my interpretation of the world I see..

Food for thought..

Well, I'm not so sure of that now. Ethnic history broke the mold, then
Black History, Chicano History, Women's History, Queer History. and
popular culture has been very important to the discipline. My own field,
basically social deviance, has been big in women's and queer history, and
maybe business history among others. A few years ago I did a book review
on the history of garbage in amerika. Biography is making a comeback now
as well as narrative history (thank G-d!), but conceptional history, post
structuralism, still rules. I personally think, however, that the field
has opened up greatly.

I don't see the 'net making a lot of difference (at least at the present
time) in how history is written. Just because something is on the 'net
doesn't mean that it's true. And most stuff isn't on the 'net. Of course,
one can find sources, but you still have to go to those sources in person.
Websites can also be used to stir intellectual curiosity, start discussions
in class, and can be a very useful source of generalized information . I
know, for example, that in religious studies, some of the Waco websites are
very highly thought of--so I can assume that there are websites for just
about any sort of interest which are on the mark and can be used.

I think it does make a bit of a difference in the way it is taught. I
read a journal article recently, for instance, about teachers getting
their students to sign up for specific mailng list, but with the warning
not to get involved too much personally due to flame wars, etc. This sort
of sounds like a disaster to me. There are also, lists however, where
scholars and students get together to discuss issues in a a civilized way
(how strange!) learn what's new in the field, throw out ideas, read drafts
of new work, etc.

Oh boy! This book kind of ruined my day. It starts out discussing the
number of tons of horse manure dropped in Brooklyn annually in 1898 or
something like that, then goes into horse piss running in the streets, and
how this was cleaned up. Interesting stuff on the White Wings--the first
professionalized garbage service in the US, headed by Teddy Roosevelt. He
basically militarized and professionalized them. Neat WHITE uniforms. I
wonder if the workers wives had to wash them? BTW, you know those big
plastic garbage dumpsters the city sticks you with? Those great big ones?
In the business their known as Godzillas.

Well, I don't know if it would be any different from amerikan BS on the
net. Here's a weird site though that may be something like you are
talking about, but not exactly.
http://vukovar.unm.edu/arkzin/bastard/whatis_b.htm. (I'm not sure if it's
still up). It's a Croatian site, but it's not out of Crotia directly. I
found it about a year ago. Here's a piece of it that I like a lot, and
got me thinking that we need to develop Bastard Theory much like Queer
Theory has been developed over the last decade or so:

What is Bastard? (Bastard is a magazine, btw):
Bastard exists--or to put it more precisely, the self-allowed connection
between the fatherless children of philosophical theores and cultural
criticism and the idea of a still-possible and non-obsolete critcal
thinking--aims at a moment of truth and cognition of one's own. ....The
very name Bastard stems from the concept of impurity of the race--a
counterpoint to all cult-based families (races, classes, nations),
performing rituals in front of their home-made altar-pieces.... " (Love the
phrase cult-based familes. The family is a cult itself.)


"Hence Bastard feels committed to the consequences of being a raceless
species. Furthermore, Bastard is not pre-elected or given a high cultural
racial heritage. Instead, it legitimates itself over and over again and
forces others to do the same. Now the Culture-Bastard is about to disperse
and realize itself. Ther only difficulties it encounters concerns
questions about authenticities. For what it always has to present is the
paradoxical mixture of Enlightment and Criticism on Modernity. And its
very concern--the criticism of culutre, theory, art, and literature--aims
both at the analysis of individual events in the field of culture and at
their deconstruction based upon hetergeneous theoreis of ideologies.....

Therefore 2 B an intellectual in Crotia today means 2 B an outcast, 2 B THE
BASTARD

I especially like the idea, in my developing School of Bastard Theory, of
the Bastard repeatedly legitimating herself or himself by forcing others to
legitimize themselves. I think that Bastards are a social and cultural
critique of consumerism and capitalism and to a lesser degree (so far)
post-communism-- in general the paradigm of consumerist worth centered in
our bodies. I would go further to say that Bastards represent authenticity,
whereas legos on the whole represent Church and State and their
accompanying institutional oppression. It might be worthwhile to go back
and take a serious look at existentialism, if even on a literary level
only. A re-reading of Camus, particularly The Stranger, for instance,
with a Bastard eye, might prove very revealing. Then I'm a Modernist not
a POMO, although I also believe that Bastards fits right into postmodern
culture. But are we symbolic of it or its conscience (if post modernism
indeed does have one)?

By all means necessary,

I detest performance. Actors ruin the show every time. When I still went
to plays, I spent most of the evening looking at the light hangings. I
once, was, however, played the 3rd fireman in Biederman and the Firebugs.
I got tied up with a garden hose and did a terrific flip over a table.

Well, I think that objectification is a good thing, and the male gaze is an
extremely narrow way to look at things. There is the female gaze as well.
Females objectify men all the time. And what I find more interesting (I'm
not up on all the literature, so I may be wrong) is that nobody wants to
talk about the female on female gaze. As somone who spent years being
subjected to feminist literarly theory as a way of life, female on female

well what about this one? she's on the beach in a bikini, she's asking
to be objectified too, but what does she gain by it? feeling good
because men are gawking, making her feel socially acceptable? is that
good? they're not giving her anything of monetary value like they give
the stripper. please note that both women are at risk for sexual
assault. the difference is one is a professional, i guess, a sex worker,

Dylan Thomas yes. Hymns no.

Back in the late 1980s I went to the local Welsch picnic with a friend who
is in the Welsh Society. I still have no idea if there is such a thing as
Welsh food. The main dish was KFC.

The first time I ever went to Europe, the very first meal I had was haggis
at the YMCA hostel in Glasgow. I didn't know what it was until later. Why
is food from the British Isles SO bad?

This is what I was trying to say. If that's what she wants, it's good.
In this society, I can't imagine a woman parading around in a bikini that
is not doing it for a feel good reason. My friend Sveta used to wear a
bathing suit walking down Nevsky Propsect when she left the beach. Now,
that's just not done. She also had sleeveless dress with huge armholes.
She didn't like underwear and wore this dress quite frequently. She
especially enjoyed wearing it on the Metro where she'd remain standing and
hold on to a rail above her head. Of course, this provided hours of smirky
remarks and public groping which she couldn't "understand" and would then
order Soier to sucker punch the poor slob who was dumb enough to react to
this performance piece. Night discos were always fun.

Most definitely. I think the most blatant objectification is in that area.

It's just rather peculiar to me that it's only the male case that comes
under scrutiny. Talk about discrimination!

That's something I find real interesting, and something to be worked out in
Bastard Theory

Of course we all know Bastards who objectify other Bastards for the
purporses of lust, love and romance. I mean, there are some pretty
fantastically gorgeous and rich Bastards here on alt.adoption, are there
not, just waiting to be the object of othe Bastard gaze?

Dunno. A mystery so great not even the great Agatha Christie could write it.

oh, and you're right, it is Scottish, not Irish.

But the Irish get to keep the potato(e)s.

I'm not sure if it makes any difference. If it makes somebody feel good
for whatever reason, then what do we know about it. I'm a show off myself,
though at the moment a bikini is out of the question.

I have no idea. She was the biggest baracuda I never met. I know one
amerikan who spent $17,000 on her in one month (on fancy underwear, body
lotion, and expensive hotel rooms) and lost his wife, his home, and his
Danish visa over it. The ultimate ball buster. She'd do things like go out
of the country and then tell the present sucker (or suckers as the case may
be) that she ran out of money and if they didn't wire some to her she'd be
"forced" to have an "accident" with an Arab or some other ethnic group that
makes Russians crazy.

Will you put it up on your page after that?

Well, I think that sex is very important, and in this country it's been
"under-valued." We need more, not less of it.

Hey Marley, what happened to the Palestinean ? How was your date? Enquiring
minds want to know. Are you going to become a Religious Muslim now? And wear a
black whatever those things are called, and have 12 sprogs????????????????

Mohammed wishes you blessed fortune and many sons...........................

My gut instinct it that these are not going to photograph very well.
documenting artwork is really tricky. we'll see.
what i want to know is when the bastards are going to be putting up
photos of the conference.

I don't know. I think they are still coming in through the mail or
something. I haven't develped mine yet. In fact, I still haven't
developed the pictures of Bastards at the Bell becasue my camera battery
died (thinaks to Vladlimir), and to get a new one is a major bus trip.
I've been using those dumb cameras, and they're still sitting around, too.

I'm a pervert I know, but I think sex needs to be objectified more to get
it going. All this PC crap about "personal relationships" and "commitment"
must go.

He's coming over in a little while to put some wood hardner on my porch.
(No comments, please).

How was your date?

OK, but 15 years makes a big difference, for the worse. He read the
ingredients of the spaghetti sauce to me. I don't remember this sort of
activity way back when.

Well I like the chadur a lot, though I most certainly must be in the
minority. It's the perfect cover for the anti-social--and it's black.

Can you buy him a plane ticket?

How do you get guys to do stuff for you? I never could

I"m paying him. That is for the painting and yard work, and I'm helping out
to save money. I've decided to check off exterior painting and solid waste
disposal as career options.
