Burnt well done!
The Bonfire of the Vanities is hosted this week by Heather at angelweave, and she does a really nice job! I have a lot of fun reading these, and I am almost tempted to comment on them all, but that would spoil the fun, and it ain't my job! A few of these notable posts: Argus offers monkey business. (In deference to Don Watkins and Frank J. I never talk about monkeys, though....) Harvey complains that he "often gets strange looks from people after I make... certain innuendo-laden statements." (I know how he feels. I hate strange looks -- which is why I prefer blogging!) Josh Cohen wants validation, and after his astute analysis of the Kerry stampede I'll validate him early and often! Heather, by the way, is glad I didn't call her a "Crumb girl!" But speaking of Crumb girls (and whatever the male equivalent of that might be called), Andrew Sullivan links to this fascinating discussion of "samish-sex marriage" (which I find a bit, um, embarrassing): Take, for example, K, a male friend of mine, of slight build, with a ponytail. K is married to S, a tall, stocky female with extremely short hair, almost a crewcut. Often, while watching K play with his own ponytail as S towers over him, I have wondered, Isn’t it odd that this somewhat effeminate man should be married to this somewhat masculine woman? Is K not, on some level, imperfectly expressing a slight latent desire to be married to a man? And is not S, on some level, imperfectly expressing a slight latent desire to be married to a woman?Sheesh! Where does it end? (There's much more, here.) Can't We. All. Get. Along? posted by Eric on 03.02.04 at 10:38 PM |
