    Myanus... Hmmnnn.. I may consider this...
    The older I get, presumably the less desirable it becomes.
    As a lifelong heterosexual, in my present state of penury I am currently looking at all optional possibilities of gainful employment.
    In my old age however, I suspect that it is assuming more and more of a less-desirable goatse-like quality.
    So it's probably best I look at other options, although maybe I could do shocker photo-ops by pointing the camera betweem my legs, or with a mirror.

    Geez! You don't get it. It has NOTHING to do with Obama... OK, maybe a racist smidgen or two, but more of just a general malaise, particularly (as near as I can detect) amongst Americans, and to a lesser extent, among Canadians.
    I know it sounds weird, but I seem to have "grown up" at this late stage in my life.
    And most of slashdot commentary simply does not impress me, or even interest me anymore.
    Time to move on. But where?
    Is there a /. doppelganger somewhere that excludes young American twits? ;-)

  12. Blind Faith. Arrest Winwood and Clapton! on Is That "Sexting" Pic Illegal? A Scientific Test · · Score: 0

    Huh! I used to do acid to Blind Faith (Winwood, Clapton et al) about 40 years ago.
    Great album. A few years ago I decided to buy the CD to let my kids appreciate it,(ain't updates great?) and was shocked... no, mildly titillated (this is a pun) to see the cover had ... changed! The REAL original, I now discovered, had a naked adolescent girl on it. OMG! But... strangely, my kids seemed non-plussed. No need for "counseling", thank goodness...
    Wanna see the original cover? Look at Blind Faith

    Holy shit! It ain't there anymore! The 12 yr-old girl is GONE!
    Migod, it gets scarier! Thanx, Wikipedia!
    But, I still have the album cover here. Bought from Columbia Records, no less. Will the porn-cops pounce on me now?
    Ummn, I cannot even find the "porno" cover on the internet now! I'd scan my copy, and upload it, but ... rest of my life in jail?
    Fuckin' freaky American preverts!
