- Given that I am in a _legal_ (hetero) marriage and posting from my own account,
- here's the puzzle:
-
- Are my spouse's comments just part of a "typical male pi**ing contest", but
- you've now seen a post on c.l.a from a female? Or is my spouse a female
- participating in a "typical male pi**ing contest", and you've yet to get
- your quota of female posters to c.l.a? ;-)
-
- Its getting pretty silly around here as the rocket scientists and space cadets
- are ready to blast off into a new year.
-
- HAPPY NEW YEAR Y'ALL
