How does a gay differ from a homosexual?

Those that are gay are having more fun.

Depends who's this one, eta... hehheh, I heard a lovely little bit of dialogue on R4 tonight concerning a Zild gal who was complaining about the flight to the UK, which went something like this...

1 "We had trouble with the chicken..."
2 "The chicken?! They don't fly!"
1 "No, the chicken... you know, at the disk...?
2 "The CHICKEN at the DISK?!"
1 "Yis, the chick-in disk at the airport...!"

sorry, mix

For anyone interested, I have a small WAV file of my speaking the dialogue mav included in his post. I would upload it, but my host appears to be down. If you're interested, PM me and I will email it to you, so that you can appreciate the magnitude of the slander inflicted upon my nation by this wicked Welshman.

Well, if he were bright in the senser under discussion here, he would be a shoo-in for senior management in the C of E, so the name may be less ironic that it seems.

more strictly that your view of the world is naturalistic, free of what its inventors describe as "supernaturalism and mystical elements of all kinds".

I dunno...if you've ever watched a caterpillar metmorphose into a butterfly you'd have to admit there's, at least, some delicious mystery in that, if not a sense of the mystical...albeit naturalistic.

" I believe a leaf of grass is no less than the journey work of the stars,
And the pismire is equally perfect, and a grain of sand, and the egg of the wren,
And the tree-toad is a chef-d'oeuvre for the highest,
And the running blackberry would adorn the parlors of heaven,
And the narrowest hinge in my hand puts to scorn all machinery,
And the cow crunching with depress'd head surpasses any statue,
And a mouse is miracle enough to stagger sextillions of infidels."

--Walt Whitman, Song of Myself
