This is your ever-lovin' lurker, Rob, cranking up his courage, yet again, to make an obvious observation on this apparently popular academic topic, judging from the length of the thread on this and other lists, as well as in general, judging from the TV coverage of the world-shaking words of President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad. As I pointed out, either to this list or to an individual list member, many months ago, theoretically speaking, anyone who has ever masturbated has committed/performed a homosexual act, and has had a homosexual experience, "gay," "queer," or whatever. If that person has masturbated a hundred times, she/he has had a hundred homosexual experiences! (Of Rank 1, of course.) And it boggles the mind to seriously consider what has really happened, in a lifetime. And on top of this, or underneath, depending upon your par- ticular positional preference, anyone who has masturbated, say, a hundred times, and knew that what she/he was doing was oh, so wrong, in God's and humanity's eyes, but one time (just one time!) said to hell with it all and decided to enjoy it, had an ENJOYABLE homosexual experience!!! (Of Rank 1.) Some (queer?) questions immediately come to mind: 1) Has the good/bad/naughty/sacrilegious/whatever Engineering Professor and now President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad of Iran ever masturbated, aka had a homosexual experience? 2) Has he ever had an enjoyable homosexual experience? 3) Or, is that his problem? 4) For that matter, has the prompter-prompted President Dubya of the United States of America (that sure hurts!) ever masturbated, aka had a homosexual experience? I've heard they do strange things before being inducted into Skull and crossbones at Yale. 5) More importantly, has he (the j-off!) ever had an enjoyable homo- sexual experience? 6) Is that HIS problem? 7) Wonder about President of Columbia Lee C. Bollinger? 8) Then there is Senator Craig? 9) Then there is you? Until today, I never realized why I was give the inspiration/epiphany of the identicality of (Rank 1) masturbation and homosexuality, many years ago. Must have been something I was doing at the time. But it's all so clear, now! The subject is orbiting the globe, and is "hot." Sex is everywhere. Use it! SEX IS THE COSMIC JOKE! Respectfully, to all you homosexuals and/or heteroflexers, Rob George www.CenterSDS.com ************************************** See what's new at http://www.aol.com
