“After nearly four years and $140,000 in legal costs, the SubGenius child custody case of Rachel Bevilacqua (Reverend Magdalen) has been dismissed. The end result is an anticlimax: She has custody of her son at last, and the status quo is maintained -- except that she is officially forbidden from keeping SubGenius materials in her home, in order to protect her son from J.R. "Bob" Dobbs.”

I wonder to what extent Texas textbooks are used in Arkansas?

While attending a Marriage Weekend, Durango and his wife, DSSW, listened to the instructor declare, 'It is essential that husbands and wives know the things that are important to each other.."

He then addressed the men, 'Can you name and describe your wife's favorite flower?'

Durango leaned over, touched dssw's arm gently, and whispered,

'Gold Medal-All-Purpose, isn't it?'

A triptych of terror in a tux, starting with . . . a Velco bathing cap? That defiant e-meter auditor's stare? The secret and perhaps obscene private gesture to a masseur in the gym at the Marriott?

I can't think about it now. I'll think about it tomorrow. After all . . . .
