The Bible contains 6 admonishments to homosexuals and 362 admonishments to heterosexuals.  That doesn't mean that God doesn't love heterosexuals.  It's just that they need more supervision.

For Tightly Wound Couch Potatoes: The Wind-Up TV Remote Control

Talk about a modern nightmare: What would you do if the world's supply of AA-batteries abruptly disappeared?  How would we sit on the couch, channel surf, and operate our DVD, VCR and TiVo appliances?  The human race would be finished, and the Earth would soon be run by a society of super-intelligent apes.

Thankfully, you'll never have to worry about the TV remote running out of juice, as long as you have the Greenkie Wind-Up Universal Remote ($43) - a spring-powered remote control that can be programmed for all your TV appliances.

I understand the shock and anger any couch potato rightly feels if he's asked to do any sort of labour - even a few twists of the wrist.  But when you compare the energy that must be exerted when you need to run to the store for batteries, you'll want to entertain the quaint comforts of wind-up channel surfing.

Consider it a little exercise to burn off that holiday bloat, a time when everyone needs to wind down.

Wingspan

by Robert Bly

We can overload our male-longings onto our fathers.  We need to also remember that the loss of men's lodges, the company of uncles, grandfathers and the lost mythology and heritage of being a man go much wider than this.  In no traditional society was the training of young boys left in the hands of the father alone.  The entire male community participated in this important work.  Our father didn't have these connections either - he was just as lost as we are.
