Let's all join in! (I love this guy's stuff - see more at: Tremble.com)
[AND THIS IS WHERE WE ENTER 'FANTASTI-VISION'. LET'S GO!!!!] "OK, here's the deal. We can still protest, which is great. Let's not forget how great that is. We won't quite be able to march on the UN building, though. Please. Please just give me a second. We can't march on the UN, true, but we can march a few blocks away, where some of you, if you crane your necks hard enough, will be able to see bits of the UN building. It is recommended that these people describe what they see to the others who cannot see the building. That way we will all be apprised of which direction to face while yelling from the safe confinement of our chain-link and razor wire 'protest pens.' "Alternately, to avoid confusion we have been granted persmission to construct a fake UN building at 3/5 scale, using 100% recyclable materials. Remember, that is a time-permitting item and, provided our view of the UN building from 47th street is decent, the model construction will become priority level 'tan.' "Oh, and technically we can't march. This isn't such a big deal because it would be difficult to march inside our protest pens, anyway. But before you get upset, our lawyers are working very hard right now to grant us a "walking in place" permit which would enable us to simulate a march on the UN building. I've already recruited several volunteers who are willing to drag the 3/5th scale UN model -should its construction be required - behind their pickup trucks to give the appearance of being 'marched upon' by our 10,000 protestors. "What's that? No, that wasn't a mistake. I said '10,000.' It seems the city is only able to guarantee the protection and safety of 1/10th of our projected masses for this anti-war march-in-place near the United Nations building. But let's make the best of it. The government is about to feel our mighty roar of protest, and clearly it is already listening! Get ready to march in place!! Oh, one more thing: no chanting. The residents of Tudor City have said they'd call the police if it's too noisy. FOR PEACE!!!"

Uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult
Lack of involvement with the father
Or over-involvement with the mother
Can result in lack of ability
To relate to sexual peers
And in homosexual leanings
Narcissism, transsexuality --
Girls from the waist up
Men from the waist down --
Attempts to be your own love object
Reconcile your parents to you
By becoming both at once
Even Marilyn Monroe was a man
But this tends to get over looked
By our mother-fixated
Overweight, sexist media
So, uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult
If you give in to them
Every time they cry
They will become little tyrants
But they won't remember why
Then when they are thwarted
By people in later life
They will become psychotic
And they won't make an ideal husband or wife
The spoiled baby grows into
The escapist teenager who's
The adult alchoholic who's
The middle-aged suicide
Oi
So
Uncorrected personality traits
That seem whimsical in a child
May prove to be ugly in
A fully grown adult

CURRENT LEVEL OF ALERT:

 
and you're telling us this because......?
 
Where's my tinfoil beanie?! Someone (Senior Cranky) has been reading my mind......

If it isn't enough that the mass of men live lives of quiet desperation, those of us content with our misery have to face that ogre of consumerized sentimentality and mass-produced displays of affection, St. Valentine. Hooray for love indeed. It's sad when adult human beings have to be told when to acknowledge something they supposedly hold so sacred and dear. It makes you wonder if anyone really loves anyone else or if two people just get together to keep their genitals warm and kill time watching reruns of Seinfeld. For yet another year I'll watch the candy, card and jewelry companies roll out the hazy-filtered, slow motion propaganda to insure a spike in first quarter profits. Endless sappy vignettes of idyllic love that guilt every ordinary shmoe into emptying his wallet for trinkets and baubles and tiny candies that taste like fudge and bathtub caulk (see 2/19/80 column, "I HATE PEPPERMINT PATTIES").

took a faboo queer quiz out of boredom - here are the results
LEVEL 3 -- MOSTLY STRAIGHT ACTING You lead a normal everyday life and it's 'no questions asked' as people just assume you are straight. Every once and awhile a very aware person might notice something that causes them to think 'fem' but it's a fleeting thought because you turn around and surprise them with more masculine traits before they even have time to fully analyze the last one.
