This is in the “you can’t make this stuff up” category. Perhaps sending this guy to Malaysia will shut him up for a while. And do I have to do a gender check on every M&M I eat from now on? And if RFK gets his wish, will red M & M’s disappear? I think with that aggressive, macho color, most of them must be males.

I'm wondering if they aren't parallel universe M&Ms by now; far beyond gender: pretzel, peanut, etc. Soon they will all just become that stretched light tunnel or star streaking of the hyper space effect...

I had a confession of love left on my answering machine back in my college days by a French exchange student who happened to be three sheets of Dom Perignon to the wind at the time of his ill-conceived paeon lo those many years and technological advances--insofar as telecommunication go--ago. He was understandably embarrassed when next I saw him in our shared anti-cosmopolitan literature class, but I put his mind at ease by telling him I was flattered. He needed a Tomahawk Tuesday beef injection for sure but I also let him know I was not the man for it. I'd be his fag hag and that was it. My amorous adventures were confined to the married Russian and mysterious Hungarian exchange students of the fairer sex. Still, Bertrand was a hell of a pianist and we remained friends until I packed up and left for the coast. Ended up in Albuquerque because, as I interpret it from the pov of retrospection, I was too afraid to get to where I thought that I was going.

This is an excellent share, Ted - thanks. I always like to hear details about people's lives...experiences..it makes all of us a feel a bit more human I think.

Bing is the dean of this. You can only rant when there is something to rant about. Bing is not a robot. We just have to wait and this one is good. I didn't know June was Alpha male month... lol.
