- My personal list of stupid words, often used.
-
- Mecca (mek-ahhhhh): if anyone has ever been to Saudi Arabia (I have)
- and passed people on their way to Mecca for the Haj (I have: and
- furthermore, it is also Medina, and other holy sites) they could
- understand that I can't imagine a stranger conjunction than a place of
- ritualized public holy self-deprivation and silly-ceremoniousness
- culminating in mass circulation around a curtain-draped cube being
- compared to, say, Amsterdam friday night on the Warmoesstraat.
-
- Gay Fascism: Is it just me or is it really great that a 'faggot' is
- being qualified as a 'fascist' - which means of course, a bundle of
- sticks or rods - 'fascia'. Furthermore, there seems little relation
- between idealized /nationalistic/ cult-violence and control and a
- typical bubble-butt blueboy centerfold, however carefully laid-out.
- Gay organization seems to be an impossibility, on the bubble-butt
- hairless level.
