Slightly off topic..but next time you're in the video store...do rent "Kissing Jessica Stein".....it's a hoot....

WOW! you can bake a pie? I always have to get the frozen pie dough.

If she were dating women, I would nut out and do a blow-by-blow comparison...

Oh, nevermind...

[Capriole]

... some of us are real women--women who know how to run circular saw, raise a child, shoot a rifle, nurture a garden, create a home, write a book, give a speech, bake a pie, handle a diplomatic reception, break a stallion, ski a black run, and make a man happily exhausted every night.

Meow.

And some men can't handle it.

I've dated a couple of LUGs. Not at the same time, though :(

Though Anne Heche is the most prominent example, many hasbians (sometimes called LUGS: lesbians until graduation) are by-products of nineties liberal-arts educations.

Well, it was exactly the same when I attended a liberal arts college in the 70s. I suspect it was probably the same in the 80s. Sorry, "Gen Y," yet another area where you weren't unique.

"“Lesbians who live in the lesbian ghetto and hang out in lesbian bars named after dog food and cat food, dreaming of the hot transit worker at the end of the bar,..."

That is such a funny visual. Lesbo transit workers are so funny. Almost as funny as the lesbo meat packer. 275 lbs of man crunching, knee high combat boot wearing woman. I have two words: Rosengertle Baumgardner (untouched by man).

Yes, but can you knit?

Love, Hetty

A girl I dated (and in fact fell in love with) dumped me for her female guidance counselor after seven years of our relationship. Off they went off to Baylor, lickety-split, leaving me emotionally crucified. She became a successful attorney; I went on to meet the girl of my dreams and realize my dream of becoming a professional artist.

But several years later, after I had married, she came crawling back, begging for the old you-know-what. Seems that the lesbo thing hadn't "taken", and, after graduation, she had realized it was men who did it for her after all. She even begged me to give her a baby, no strings attached. She tried tears, smooches, low, throaty tones -- the works.

I told her not just "no", but hell no. Then I ran like hell.

She's married to some other guy now, and they have a kid, so I guess all's well that ends well. I sure will be glad when lesbianism stops being a kinky, fun fad and goes back to being perceived by the general public as the destructive perversion of nature that it is, though. The heartbreak and misery of homosexuality -- both for those who practice it and those whose hearts are broken by it -- is not something I want my own children-to-come to experience.

Hey, Hetty, I can do all those things too (except the horse stuff and exhausting a man--though I'm often just that, exhausted) and I'm a husband and grandfather! Wow, does that mean ... ? Bwahahahaha

[cyborg]

If she's from the country, she probably can. My mother can do that and build a pig sty and chicken coop! Country women are the same everywhere.

[Capriole]

Yes, but can you knit?

Funny you should ask. I can sew but I've never been able to knit. Right now, however, I'm trying to learn to knit. This is partly because I'm an historic reenactor and that's a period-appropriate skill for me to learn, and partly because I'm learning to do honor to a young friend who was killed at Christmastime. She wanted me and my daughter to learn how to knit and was planning to teach us. Now she never can. So we're going to learn anyway, in her memory. (Like I have time for this.)

You don't say!
