Nah, Mom had more rarefied tastes, and whole I was an omnivorous reader,
there was a lot she deemed inappropriate. She was heartbroken when I
discovered sci-fi

Love to eat them mousies,
Mousies what I love to eat.
Bite they little heads off,
And nibble on they tiny feet.

So, I'm guessing your Mom had Frank Yerby novels in that closet.
Heaving white bosoms and massive hairy chests. He certainly put the
swash in his buckle.
Yep, I think that was the experience that a lot of women had. Back in
Killeen there was a female attorney named Martha Trudo. Incredibly
excellent - and sometimes vicious - family law attorney. And it used

Well, yes, there is that. I still hold to my conclusion. If you ever
see a film of men in a strip bar, they're all sitting there trying to
look really tough and serious so that the strippers will be interested
in them. On the other hand, when you see a film of women in a strip
bar, they're always laughing their asses and having a good time.

Now that's a hell of a commercial. I'm guessing that in China,
though, they're called Chi wawas. Got to keep the chi flowing.

Bob Dylan (tm) doesn't seem like the type. On the other hand, Little
Bobby Zimmerman might.
Read an interview with Leonard Cohen once where he was saying that he
was at real low point in his career and very discouraged. He was
driving through Kansas at night and all of a sudden he had a
revelation: "What America needs is a recognizably Jewish folk

Now that's a real American hero. As I recall, his alter-ego was a
mild mannered reporter named Philbert Desanex who worked for a paper
called The Morning Mung Pie in a metropolis called Muthalode. And
whenever he'd encounter criminals or corruption, he'd turn into the
masked crime fighter that you see here. What a guy.

The moment I became a feminist was a sticky summer morning in Tampa. I
was 10 - circa 1964. Bored. Had read all my library books and we
weren't going to the library until the next day. And I'd already read
all of Mom's library books that I could sneak out of the book bag in the
closet (her method of censorship). So I was reading the paper. Right

I wonder if Bob Dylan will be around asking for royalties for their use
of "The Times, They Are A'Changing"?
