At the Potlach

If you gifted me all your possessions and I refused saying all your stuff was crap, where would we go then?

The Atheist

It isn't so much the atheist refutes the existence of God as he does refute the existence of Christians.

falling backwards.

Georges Perec

For the book that was finally brought to light did not contain an "e".

Counting Thoughts

How many things can you think of?

"Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up."

I've always wondered why prostitution is illegal and yet it is apparently legal under some ordinance to make an "adult film". Both are sex for money.

Is there some controlling authority that issues a dirty movie license? Does one need a witness? Is there a special stamp or is it a matter of getting a card punched?

I'm trying to see the distinction between the two activities. Perhaps it's the lack of a script or that there is no rehearsal that makes it prostitution. Having seen an adult film I know acting isn't a requirement. It must be the presence of a movie camera. But don't take that as legal advice. I can hear some john telling the Vice Cop, "It's OK officer, my cell phone has a movie function."
