It's comments like this that keep bringing me back here, against my better judgment and need to bill more hours.

That, and the occasional naked pictures.

Okay. I'm confused. Either (i) you were the cause of the ho-hum sex which was so forgetable that the guy couldn't remember you after doing you and setting your bed on fire or (ii) this guy set a bunch of women's beds on fire so he doesn't know who you are because there are just too many to remember any one chick or (iii) he's nuts and you fuck like a phoenix.

Okay, okay. This "black Catholic church" thing irritated me the first time I read it.

There is no such thing as a black Catholic church. There may be parishes which are predominantly black, but it is not a separate church administration as some other faiths have had, and as at least the Seventh Day Adventists still have.

The Catholic churches were the only churches in the South during slave days that forced slaves and masters to worship together, which may explain a small part of why there were so few Catholic churches in the rural South.

You really want lapdancing to be legal? You want everyone to be doing it? Then the cool cats would have to find something else illegal to be doing to get that extra frisson. Policing morality is the mainstream's little gift to the cutting edge, a way of saying, no, keep doing that, we're not going to co-opt it yet. Their loss, right?

Munsters news
 

My main question is why wasn't spookyfish staying current on these developments? Well that and how can this guy still be alive?


NEW YORK (AP) -- After the summer he's had, Al Lewis, who played Grandpa Munster in the '60s sitcom "The Munsters," figures the odds were against him that he'd survive.

"The odds in Vegas were against me. I think, 1,000 to 1," Lewis, 93, was quoted in Tuesday's editions of Newsday.

Lewis checked into Manhattan's Mount Sinai Hospital on June 30 for an angioplasty, his third, Newsday reported. During the heart procedure, an artery ruptured. To stop the blood flow, doctors performed an emergency bypass. That produced serious clotting in his extremities and the threat of gangrene, the newspaper said. His right leg was amputated just below the knee. The five toes on his left foot also were amputated.

It was several days after he came out of a monthlong coma that he first learned about his leg, Newsday said. Only later, did he begin asking the usual questions: "Why me? Who chose me for this role? I don't remember auditioning for this?"

He's now recovering at Coler-Goldwater Specialty Hospital on Roosevelt Island, building his strength and learning to get around again. "I'm glad I didn't have a vote on the amputation," he joked.

"The Munsters" ran from 1964-66.

Munsters news
 

I dunno, maybe it's just me, but if I were 93 and woke up from a monthlong coma after heart surgery to find that my leg and toes had been amputated so that I had to relearn how to walk, I'd be a little peeved. Damned doctors.

Yup, it's downright iatrogenic.

My bad, but I can't keep track of everything. You confuse me with Shape Shifter, who is the omniscient one. As to your second question, I'm convinced it's a case of life imitating art. Al Lewis really is one of the undead.

Yes. but my avatar was Herman, and he's dead already, thus no news on him.

Like Coach and Phil Hartman, Herman made his series. Grampa couldn't hold his proverbial jock. Some TV authority --sheesh. :rolleyes:

A Sad Day for Str8 and Manfred - Things That Need to be Legal
 

A great many things are illegal for no good reason. Things that should be legal everywhere include:

Female toplessness (Its legal everywhere else, including our own South Beach, and the world hasn't fallen into moral decay)

Pot (Everyone get get prozac, paxil, viagra, etc... but not pot? Whaaaaa?)

Gambling (Regulate it everywhere and watch the tax coffers explode)

Mushrooms (See Pot above)

Sex in public (Because its a fantasy of mine... of course, there would have to be rules to keep the aestethetically unpleasant from ruining everyone's lunch, but society can enforce those regulations discreetly)

Nudity on broadcast television (We'd all be a lot better off in this country if we stopped memorizing bibles, running from our sexuality and playing with guns and instead started fucking a whole lot more)

Profanity on radio/television (Why pretend these words don't exists... they're just syllables strung together - how dangerous can they possibly be to societal health?)

The Case Against Rock and Roll Church
 

Oh, my apologies. I thought you were black.

A Sad Day for Str8 and Manfred - Things That Need to be Legal
 

You're missing the point. If female toplessness were legalized and common, even Sidd would become desensitized. We'd all have fetishize something we don't get to see, like armpit hair or molars. If radio and tv shows were profane all the time, we'd have to invent a whole new lingo that the hoi polloi don't understand. As I understand it, urban black youths spend considerable time doing this now, and as a result they are stuck in an endless cycle of poverty and violence.

Since we're getting all personal and stuff. There was a guy in college who insisted that he and I had sex on the pool table in his frat house. Of course we didn't. Some friends and I showed up for a party and were playing pool that night. 4 of us ended up going out for some late night food. When in the hell did we have sex? While people were playing?

Anyway. He told all my buddies in another frat house this story. Story got around (behind my back). Finally one of my friends said "hey you know what's-his-name says you guys had sex on the pool table." What? how long has he been saying that? I asked around - he'd been telling that story for over a year. And the guy was a troll. Truly a troll. No way I would have even done it with that guy and I would have remembered doing it on a pool table.
So I run into him and a friend at a bar a few years ago. He asked what sorority I was in, I told him. He said, you know it's funny, I had sex on the pool table with a girl from your house. I said, that's me you've been telling that story about and you've got to get over it. It didn't happen, you troll so stop telling that damn story like it's true.

Anyway - the memory is a funny thing. Except when it comes to faces. So GWINKY, maybe he just didn't remember your face because he wasn't really looking at it.

I haven't found many europeans who are desensitized to nudity, and they're exposed to it much more than we are (lucky bastards).

How come none of what you predict has happened in Europe?

Hey, the Munsters was nothing more than a feeble Addams Family knock-off anyway. Lurch kicked Herman's ass all over the small screen. I'm just saying that along with the selection of an avatar comes a certain level of responsibility.

I assure you, I will never be desensitized to nude women. Ain't gonna happen.

The hoi polloi don't understand fuck, cunt, cocksucker, (insert rest of Carlin's 7 words here)?

Black youths in the ghetto are stuck in a cycle of violence because they were born poor, in the fucking ghetto, and were unable to get out. You have the chicken before the egg.

Our puritanism is the worst enemy of our cultural progession. It inhibits us from healthy expression of sexuality, which paradoxically has made us sex-obsessed, but in a bad "closeted" sort of way. Our govt needs to treate us like adults. Seems to work just fine in Europe... are we genetically different than the Europeans? Are we not as evolved? That what our provincial legisation would seem to suggest.

That and the whole "the Pope is the Whore of Babylon" thing that was prevalent amongst those who settled the region.

In fact, residues of this attitude remain. When I went into a post office in the South recently after a deposition down there, there were several of these Jack Chick pamphlets on the tables by the stamp machines.

When I was in college, this guy I knew in a "hey, I know your friends" kind of way, told a huge number of people that I had given him a blowjob with toothpaste.

I have many problems with this:

1) I did not blow him.
2) If I had, wy on earth would I have done it woth toothpaste in my mouth?
3) Did he imagine he tasted that fucking bad?
4) I did not blow him.
5) Who dreams up shit like "that chick blew me with toothpaste"?
6) I did not blow him.

Something is just wrong with some people...

Yeah, but failing to count the posts of your myraid socks, that number is counterfeit.

Bitch, please. Lurch was a punk and the Addams Family was a weak watered down version of the comic strip. Besides, Herman would never be a "manservant" for a guy named Gomez. 'Nuff said.

How dare you rank on the Munsters. There was far more reality in the Munsters than their ever was to any of your precious so- called "reality programming".

If that's the case, why didn't you report the following, ya hypocrite?

I just find it a bit presumptuous for someone to (apparently) think as though they know everything about a different race.

Oakland had/has several.

Catholic churches are on a parish system. If the parish is in a black neighborhood, odds are that the church has a majority black parishionership.

Surprising religious fact of the day: there are more black Catholics in America than Black Muslims. If blacks were proportionally represented in the ranks of Catholic bishops, public perception would be a lot different.

Moving from the sacred to the profane, the real effect of the LA strip club ruling will be to shift aggressive strip club behavior from the confines of the City of Los Angeles to clubs east and south of Los Angeles proper. Str8 can probably verify that this trend has been in place several years. I predict that some clubs in the Valley will close/relocate because of the lapdancing ban.

Edited to add:

E/O, I know that Catholic churches in predominantly black areas aren't black churches per se, but the services and atmoshpere are different than at a Catholic church in a white suburb. FWIW, the same goes for many black protestant churches. The point is, the services are different.
