Studio8 - Uniting the Arts

Anybody that doesn't take the war between the sexes seriously will remain a helpless puppet of the feminazis.

Interesting reflections, Cec I've been grappling with my thoughts about music in the process of working on my memoir. The subject of music's influence on the other arts is a fascinating one. I have also talked to many and varied artists and musicians about this. Visual artists often enjoy music whil...

nice poem/proesy or however you wish to label it I like it because it is not imagaic poetry but it depends on ideas I was about to say something about the 'nice' remark, Jack, but I kept mum Here is a UFO poem that appeared on Oral Sets, the spoken-word CD that Doreen and I did a few years ago.

Full Formatted Version Here Christine O'Donnell and BozoGate A character like Christine O'Donnell presents a unique problem for a humorist.

sounds like an honest transaction to me, cec
as long as you didn't tell the lady that the bracelet would cure her rheumatiz or protect her from Juarez War Lords
