Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: Shanghaiceltic Date: 20 Mar 04 - 02:46 AM Sorry bit of thread drift here. When I was in submarines we never had problems with roaches. Only with fruit flies which managed to breed in huge numbers due to the humid warm conditions and availability of food. We were not allowed to use insect sprays as they would have an adverse affect on the boats atmosphere. Our Med Tech came up with the idea of placing glasses of sweet sherry aound the for'd part of the boat, the idea being that the fruit flies would be attracted to the glasses, drink, fall in and drown. It was reasonably succesfull. Our captain was surprised to get a request from a rating on official paperwork to be re-rated as a fruit fly. The ratings justification were: 1. Run of the boat 2. No watches 3. Choice of thousands of females even at sea 4. Help yourself to as much food as you could eat 5. Free booze 6. An unlicenced allowance to drink yourself to death The captain turned this down on the grounds that a submariner could not receive flying pay as well as submarine allowance and additionaly that though the rating was known to having a rather over active '5th' limb when ashore he had no chance of growing a 6th limb (or even wings)and submarines could not carry 'disabled' ratings. Said rating returned to the sonar shack muttering about the inequality of life in boats. |
Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: GUEST,Archie Dux Date: 20 Mar 04 - 09:56 AM Hey, you are a truly miserable and specist lot, you are. You talk of happiness with llamas, with hamsters, perhaps with condors and chickens, with tigers and cats and dogs. You talk of marriage as well as less permanent arrangements. And yet... And yet... You give NO consideration to those who continue to live in the cradle of all life. Yeah, I'm talking about us non-mammalian sea dwellers. Oh, sure, you might have a fling with one of those so-called "marine mammals," a polar bear or a whale or a dolphin. Years back your lonesome sailors might even have mated with a manatee or screwed a seal. But what about the cod or the herring, which you have so long longed for? Just because ling cod isn't up to your air-loving standard of so-called beauty, you distain this wonderful companion and, let's say it, lusty partner. And the deeper you look into it the kinkier it all becomes. Try a little octopod action sometime for something you'll never forget, stud. No, maybe it's better that you bipeds have such a pulmonaricentric view of things. You just stick with your limited experiences with K-Y jelly, six or seven partners, various foods and other quirks. You don't do well under pressure anyway. |

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: Little Hawk Date: 20 Mar 04 - 05:37 PM I have found this thread tremendously moving!

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: LadyJean Date: 20 Mar 04 - 11:00 PM I believe one can buy anatomically correct inflatable sheep. I have not purchased one. But I've heard about them. |
Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: Strick Date: 20 Mar 04 - 11:19 PM Dang. We were worried about keeping it in the same species. Since I assume the inflatable sheep is rubber or silicone (for an additional charge, of course), it would seem we're not even keeping it in the same animal, vegetable, or mineral category. Then again, I've heard rumors about variations on that, too. |

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: akenaton Date: 21 Mar 04 - 05:28 AM Due to the uncompromising stance taken by Amos and Kat in another thread pertaining to marital rights,I find it incomprehensible that they have not rushed to the aid of the unfortunate Ms Llama and her lover. I feel bigotry would not be too strong a word to use in this context, and I would like to see their erratic behaviour roundly condemed on Mudcat. PS...Perhaps a new lapel ribbon ,in the form of two crossed Llama legs might heighten awareness......Ake |

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: Peace Date: 21 Mar 04 - 06:46 PM At risk of getting half the world pissed off at me, I don't recall anyone raising the following point. If we agree to same-species marriage. we will all have to become homosexual. Women and men are NOT the same species. Female colours: Too numerous to list and mostly meaningless from my perspective. Male colours: White, black, brown, red, orange, yellow, green, blue, purple. These basic all-encompassing colours are qualified with words like light, dark, sorta and ish. Female romantic evening: Dress beautifully, brush hair, wear jewels, quiet candle-lit dinner, hold hands, few glasses of wine, flowers. Male romantic evening: Show up naked and bring a case of beer. Female clothes washing: Separate colours from whites, bleach one and not the other, adjust water temperatures depending on clothes being washed. Use fluff cycle and cool-down spin. Male clothes washing: Put stuff in the washing machine, add soap and go to tavern or pub for a few hours. Check machine within a week. If stuff is mildewed, repeat. Anyway, don't send me nasty messages because of this. Little Hawk dared me to do it, and I did. LLWS! |

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: GUEST,Pansy Potato Date: 22 Mar 04 - 09:33 AM Well, lettuce commence! I simply cannot _begin_ to tell you about the various affairs of the heart we of the Vegetable World have had with you Mobile Meat! And I don't mean the "I love french fries!" sort (and how very shocking, to rip up my kith and kin, flay them, cut them into shreds, boil them in oil, and them eat them)! I'm talking about lust, L-U-S-T, lust. I'm talking about sexual acts that don't bear talking about, that polite society and good taste (and we vegetables CERTAINLY have good taste!) demand that we discuss only in the privacy of our beds. Yes, I talking about...about...I can't really bring myself to...well, every Spring, when the sap rises and the stamens become, well, filled with stamina and the pistils are ready to shoot and the oogoniums are...oh, pardon my blushing, but I'm simply used to talking like this...are ready to receive and the monocots and dicots are, well, you know, hot to trot (if they COULD trot, which of course they can't, which makes them so, so very "available" [if you take my meaning] for your meatish passions), why, you Mobile Meat go to great lengths to impose your concept of birth control on us! Yes! You detassel the corn, you graft the trees, you even deflower many of us! All for your warped, kinky, sick-o, perverted appetites! Then there are the uses to which you have put Wilma Watermelon, Zelda Zucchini, Mary Marrow, Claudia Carrot, Masha Muskmelon and so very many others of my immediate circle of friends. And let me tell you, they didn't like it one bit! I think of poor Betty Banana, who had a certain a peel to you, who slipped just once with one of you and now has, in her shame, fallen in with a bad bunch! Remember, it's YOUR fault that we become rotten! Torn from our homes and beds, rendered impotent and sterile, our genes changed, graft rampant, flayed, sliced into pieces, boiled in water, boiled in oil, eaten alive even as newly-sprung shoots -- Demeter! Don't you people carrot all???? |

As for voting Green -- I suggest that you try living green. Try living as we do, just for one light cycle! Make yourself a nice, deep bed in the warm, loving soil so graciously provided by Our Mother, and cover yourself with it -- line it first, if you wish, with some nicely aged manure -- and cover yourself completely with it. Be one with us, for just one light cycle! One light cycle out of many, and you will join us in the Vegetative World -- I, Pansy Potato, promise you! |

Subject: RE: BS: about same species marriage From: freda underhill Date: 23 Mar 04 - 05:52 PM hey, lobotomised lobster.. be careful... hence a tail of warning... The Tale of Barbie Ellen.. In scarlet shell, with pincers swell, was such a lobster dwelling Made every fisherman drool and sigh Her name was Barbie Ellen Sweet William on the sea shore walked He saw her slender talons Blushed rosy pink with Barbie shoes White flesh like tiny melons Young William called out Barbie love I think my heart you're breakin' Your gingham top, your beady eyes Have sent my thighs a achin' But slowly slowly she crawled off And waggled her tail right at 'im She slid into the frothy sea That hard hearted pink crustacean 'Twas in the merry month of May When green seas were a swellin' Sweet William on his death-bed lay For the love of Barbie Ellen. He sent his servant to the shore, To the rocks where she was a-dwellin', Cried, "Master bids you come to him, If your name be Barbie Ellen." Then slowly, slowly she crawled back, And slowly went she did eye him, And when she pulled the curtains back Said, "Young man, I think you're lyin'. "Oh, yes, I'm sick, I'm very very sick, I'm craving soft crustaceans, my mouth is watering at the sight Of the fleshy Barbie Ellen." "Oh, Ken, where are you, Ken my love Where are you when I need you? Sick William wants to fondle me He's of a different breed dear." And Ken he came in his hiking boots Beside young William lyin', He said William, leave my Barbie love For she's mine for this evenin's fryin' And Barbie's heart did snap in two That both men would deceive her While both men tried to flatter her Her heart was like a cleaver Then lightly crawled she down the stairs, While Ken was in the kitchen 'Tis neither of you who'll get me now, if my name be Barbie Ellen. She wandered to the wide green seas with never a glance behind her And plunged into the ocean deep Where nary a man could find her and sometimes by the soft moon's light when fisherman are a sleepin' she sits upon the lonely rocks a wailin' and a weepin' will nea man love me for myself they only want to eat me I'll ne'er surrender to their tongues They'll never yet defeat me From William's grave hung a fisherman's line, And from Ken's a copper griddle, While Barbie Ellen e'er does dwell Where nae man dares to meddle.. freda |
