^^^I'll bet more than a few of us here will look that ugly in a few wretched, aged years.  :lulz:

I'm fairly certain that human beings as a species were never intended to mate for life in one-on-one monogamous relationships but rather, travel in packs and share partners. That one-woman-one-man bullshit is a consequence of greed and agriculture--man trying to take ownership of a piece of land for himself needs a family and a piece of ass to help him work that land too.

All the modern-day Jerry Springer and "wanna cyber?" pop-culture is a symptom of our seriously repressed human nature. We're pack-animals, not fucking tweetie-birds.

People seem to have a natural tendency to partner up, actually, although it's rarely for life, and not always monogamously. That's why we fall in love.

Humans also seem to have a tendency to live in family groups, not necessarily "packs". Eventually the family groups become large enough to be "tribes". People also seem to have a natural tendency to want to mate with people who are not related to them, therefore seeking out mates from other tribes.

In many early agrarian cultures, land was passed on matrilinearly. Marriage, in terms of two people falling in love and pairing up in a partnership, seems to have been just as prevalent in cultures where the husband had no "ownership" of land, wife, or children, including non-agrarian cultures.

I think the "marriage is slavery" new-age approach is mostly wishful thinking, and the "humans are meant to live in packs, sharing partners at will" myth is every bit as sexist and oppressive as the "humans are meant to be monogamous" myth.

Some people want to be monogamous, and some people mate for life. I WANT a lover and a partner to share my life with and meet me halfway until I die all old and shrivelly. I don't necessarily want to be restricted by monogamy, but that is a subject aside from love, marriage, and partnership.

Telling people how they're "naturally meant to be" is just another authoritarian trap. I think that people can figure out for themselves how they're naturally meant to be, and it may be different from how you're naturally meant to be.

On the other subject, I kind of doubt many of us will turn that pastily corpulent later in life. For instance, several of us are already later in life, and it hasn't happened to us despite decades of geekery. My Portland circle of friends consists of a bunch of total internet nerds who met on dialup boards about sixteen years ago, and although some of us have lost hair and most of us have gained weight, we're all still some pretty fine-looking people in terms of being healthy and active and not looking like big squishy sweaty bags of sloth.
Amen, miss.

The post and various ideas for the pics have been in the works since Gothique posted the original.  It was just a matter of taking the time to find the images and the proper wording. 

What I can say about the Good Reverend is he is compacting his hate into a more concentrated form.  No it won't be any less in volume, just more hatier....I know it is not a word, but it fits.

I am here.

I was busy.  Sorry if I caused any concern, SG.  And you don't get to move.  You're one of the few bipeds in this town, and the thought of you moving to Fayetteville (FFS) is too nauseating to contemplate.  For Chrissakes, they don't even have the right number of chromosomes there.  They're like FISH PEOPLE!  Giant, walking, air breathing CATFISH.  They go through postal workers faster than the post office can recruit ex-Marines.  I think they eat them.

Anyway, enough of this fucking around.  Get your toy-boy to move back here, and we can all pretend he's part of the furniture.

Yours truly,
Commander Ringmeat

Hey Tigger good to see you back.
The Jerk On Bike rolled his eyes and tossed the waffle back over his shoulder--before it struck the ground, a stout, disconcertingly monkey-like dog sprang into the air and snatched it, and began to masticate it--literally--for the sound it made was like a homonculus squatting on the floor muttering "masticate masticate masticate".

Hey.  I tried a little earlier, but the board was down.
