My Brain is Like a Chinook in an Ice Cream Shop

OK kids, so I've got exactly 14 days to produce 65 pages of genius writing.
On:
1. Palestinian men and Gender performance
2. Ethnobotany, BC Land Claims and the colonial archive
3. uh, some kind of link between Heidegger's Nazi days and Margaret Somerville.

Somerville thinks gay folks are some kind of error, and for this kind of obviously complex thinking, she was given an honourary PhD at York and gave this year's CBC Massey Lectures.
So I thought I'd try and take her out.

Sigh.

Anyone out there read The Walrus? This month has an AWESOME picture-article about what people around the world eat every week.
The people that eat lots of vegetables and fish are the hottest.
Those who eat the most chips and bacon are the least so.

So the question really is: Do sexy people live longer?

once i wrote 65 pages on bowel movements, corn, and beets, and how the three should never be combined. let it be known, however, that i wrote it "just for the hell of it".

picture-articles are the very best articles. if the "walrus" of which you speak is full of picture articles than count me as one of its faithful readers/lookers.
oh, and if george bush has his way only the "bush-iest" people will live the longest.

Ha ha ha! There's that word again. Ah, balls. But really, I recommend refueling on writing that inspires you - just short bursts of reading. It's like slapping your brain with a wet towel - painful but with a cooling after-sting.
I have no idea whether sexy people live longer. The certainly don't in Scotland. After all, this is the country that invented the deep fried mars bar. Mmmmm...sweet battered goo..

Norah, you are being blog-stalked by a gumball machine. Fight back, woman! It's terribly difficult to stab a gumball, so you'll have to use the mallet. Hope you are well.

I think we are all going to have to form some kind of vigilante group (Like the A Team - any volunteers to play the roll of Mr T?) and hunt down the gumball machine kidnappers. Damn them.
