I deeply resemble that!!

C.K., it was nice of you to provide a cover story for sweet Max. Max, Honey, don't sugar-coat
your words--tell us what you really think. I can paint a picture of you being a very smart guy who tries to hide his light under a bushel. And C.K., you're not just
plated--you're sterling, through and through!
I've been watching you two even though I don't live on the coast.

Max, don't tell me you've been sucked in by the sociobiology crowd! I'll tell Stephen Jay Gould on you! "The answer's in the genes. It couldn't be clearer if it were raining floppy disks" or some such thing from Dworkin really sums it up. In my view SB is one large question being begged. Funny thing is that Edward O. Wilson works almost next door to SJG. They don't speak for some strange reason.

Jackie, thanks for the palliative. It's the same root. And we do understand that mid-Westerners have problems finding beaches, but at least you don't have to worry about sand in all those important little places.

Idea originated by Max, resurrected by Rapunzel, and brought down by Sparteye. Doesn't it figure that my first post would occur in a thread called Horses's asses?

All I can say is "Quadrupedante putrem sonitu quatit ungula campum". Very onomatopoeic. So there.
