But you know, on a date, this guy never seems to notice her collar
or other negative aspects:

another, hold up your hand.

a bloodthirsty warrior who revels in dismembering Her enemies.
She is the personification of destructive energy - but She is not
"evil"! the Hindus know that there has to be a balance between
creation and destruction, between life and death; unchecked growth
and life is cancer... and the surgeon's scalpel that destroys the
cancerous growth is Kali's blood-dripping sword. Kali is more
usually depicted with soot-black skin, rather than blue, but
blue skin indicates a very powerful deity (Krishna is *always*
blue-skinned). She sticks out Her tongue to lap up the blood as
She slays the demons of illusion. interestingly enough, She also
has a protective, maternal aspect, and is invoked to aid women
in childbirth.
i rather suspect that's a photo of an unfinished sculpture, with
a dropcloth over Kali's naughty bits.

in all examples, the figure She is dancing upon/trampling underfoot
is Her husband, the God Shiva.
Shiva is one of the three "primary" Hindu Gods -
Brahma is the Creator - He made the universe, and then went to sleep.
Vishnu is the Preserver - His job is to keep the universe going.
Shiva is the Destroyer - His job is to destroy the universe, so that
it can be created anew.
each of these gods has at least one wife. now, Hinduism can be
nearly as male-dominated as christianity, but there is an
interesting theological concept concerning polarities. in
Hindu thought, the male aspect of a power is its "potential"
power, while the "active" form of the power is expressed through
the female. so Kali is the *active* power of destruction,
since Her husband Lord Shiva is the *potential* for destruction.
Kali's power is so active, in fact, that She _destroys destruction_.
this is why She tramples upon Shiva and dances on His (seeming)
corpse. of course, this being Hinduism, Shiva isn't really dead.
when Shiva and Kali have sex, the energy They generate can create
and/or destroy worlds. tantric sex is, at least in some forms,
a human man and woman attempting to emulate the passions of Shiva
and Kali and unite the active and passive forces to generate energy,
although of course it's not going to be anywhere near the scale
of what happens when a Goddess and God fuck.
(can you tell that Kali is a Goddess i've spent some time with?)

i sincerely doubt that. i'm probably old enough to be your human
persona's mother. as stated in another thread, i have a son who's
old enough to be getting his master's degree and going on for a
Ph.D.
to put it into global perspective... when i was born, the Korean
War hadn't started yet. i can remember hearing on the news about
the Berlin Wall being built, and Castro seizing power in Cuba. i
heard Sputnik's faint radio beeps - on a radio that had *tubes* (or
"valves", in British). i'm almost as old as kent.

Cute young lust kitten, Laury and I are contemporaries in our computer
experiences, and I've forgotten just now which of us is the older, but
I'll go out on a limb and say I think it's still me, by less than two
years.

virtuality.

but I was into arson, not lechery, in those days.

i could send you more purple t-shirts. i could even customize
one for you - ah, the miracles one can perform with an ink-jet
printer. it could say something rude in Klingon, for example,
or have a scurrilous parody of some least-loved corporate logo.
i'm no artist, but if i can steal a graphic, i can print it.

very few four-year-olds are even *capable* of lechery. although
i wouldn't be totally surprised if you were one of the few.

rather than continue to play guessing games, i'll just state
that i am 55 years old. i was put ahead a couple of times in
school, so i graduated from high school at 16, but i made up
for it by taking an extra year and a half to finish college
(blame it on sex, drugs, and rock'n'roll, not necessarily in
that order). i married at 25, and gave birth at 31.
i've never sucked an egg in my life, though.

You _do_ realize that potentially you've sent an open
invitation to 48,000,000 Usenet participants to teach
you how to suck eggs? This is bad strategy, your
cholesterol levels are bound to skyrocket, and the
volunteers are lining up around the block even as I

Had a really unpleasant conversation today with Esteban,
who thought Native American Mexicans were of European
rather than of Oriental extraction, who couldn't fathom
by a factor of 6,000 why they couldn't have been isolated
here when Gondwannaland split, who was baffled by the idea
that the Bering Sea land bridge was crossed but there was no
recorded history of it, 4 times as long ago as humans
invented writing, who couldn't understand why I don't think
of myself as "white" instead of "light pinky brown", but if
I am "white", so is he, just a darker shade, who couldn't
understand why poi-puppy me's only "ancestral home" is
either Oakland, California or Central Africa, even though
the six nationalities of which my ancestry is composed are
all northwest European, and why Mestizo he of equally stirred
ancestry would have to stick equally to present or long past
to identify a place where all his ancestry had once been one
people, and on and on for three quarters of an hour of
trancendental confusion and mounting anger.
In the end, he accused me of sitting around campus just to
embarrass him about his ignorance.
This kid wants to grow up to be a lawyer. I wonder if they
all start out this way?
Estaban _exactly_ matches and brings out the worst in my worst
flaw: deals with fools badly. I really must work on my "nod
and smile and bite tongue" mode. Not here, though, don't get
your hopes up, Piedmontaigne.

One interesting recent discovery is that certain of the Native
Americans in the North-east & Great Lakes area have some ancient
European ancestry which appears to have arrived during the stone age
(Solutreans from SW France/Spain).
See:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/science/horizon/2002/columbus.shtml
"DNA lineage predominantly found in Europe got to the Great Lakes,
14,000 to 15,000 years ago"

from my [Eskimo] perspective"

Oh, thank you very much! Now I have to apologize to the jerk. Grrr.
Not that there's a chance he knew any of this in his claims,
considering the wowsers in the rest of what he said, but in part he
was right and I hadn't kept up with the research. Grrr. My bad. I must
break this habit of letting the voluminous "all I know" about a
subject be "all there is to know", especially here, where the new
stuff came to light since I've gone homeless. Grrr.
And I could defend myself a little if I had some clue where the
Ichigua tribe who share North European mitochondria lived, but that
show, and quotes from it, seem to be the first time they've been
mentioned on the net as far back as a Dogpile search could take me,
and the location description was way too nonspecific to exclude Mexico
as a possible site of European-derived Native Americans, considering
that the first site in which the "Clovis" stone tools were found was
Clovis _New Mexico_. Grrr.
xanthian, Grrr.
Did I say "Grrr"?
Not nearly often enough, anyway. Grrr.
On the bright side, if his ancestors were European, at least they were
French, which he'll despise.

I can't even remember WHY this name makes me gnash my teeth with rage.
All I know is, I hate this writer with every fibre of my being.
He/She/It cannot write. HATE HATE HATE!!!! I picked up some book by
this author, read the first page, and choked on my distaste. And then
(groan) I realized this person was actually LIKED by people!
(Isn't it amusing when our opinions get so ingrained we can no longer

A minor adaptation should allow you to print your images onto the
eggs. A quick coat of varnish, and hey-presto!
If that's too difficult, why not print a T shirt transfer and heat
shrink it onto your egg?
Or print onto a balloon and insert the egg into it??? Umm...???
Well, perhaps not, you know what they say about putting the egg back
into the chicken.

i've never been to Britain, nor bought British eggs. some
"all natural cage-free organic" eggs here are date-stamped,
but they just use a smallish but ordinary adjustable date
stamper.

t-shirt transfers don't shrink, they just bond to the fabric.
usually not the way i want them to - they either don't adhere
properly and start to peel after a couple of washings, or they
scorch. besides, how on earth would i iron an egg?
Kent Paul Dolan
> how on earth would i iron an egg?
No es difficil, senora:
1) Smash the iron down hard on the egg.
2) Move the iron back and forth in a rotory motion until the egg
congeals.
3) Pick out the bits of shell.
4) Flip egg to expose other side, or scrape it off the iron, as
appropriate.
5) Repeat step 2.
6) Repeat step 3.
7) Yummers! Egg over, the hard way!

sounds like the way kids in college dorms used to make grilled
cheese sandwiches when they weren't supposed to have cooking
devices in their rooms - make cheese sandwich, wrap in foil,
iron at "cotton" setting (no steam) on both sides until bread
is lightly toasted and cheese melts.
