Daniel Day-Lewis is a young gay man, starting a laudromat with his Pakistani lover. Same issues you raise over perceptions of what is clean, dirty, lazy, or industrious, with the added complex of sex, gender, and mixed race couples. — November 3, 2009 7:29 p.m.

re: #40, 41: Was there a reason that my explanation of 'BFD' in #38 was not adequate to Mr. Bauder's edification? Or do you people just like repeating it a lot? :) re: #45: SurfP, you'd better cover your eyes and ears, because, to pardon a very crude metaphor--but one you'll naturally understand: In our political world, there are an awful lot of milk bones out of their proper packaging. I leave it to you to try and sort out which boxes they belong to, and just how many dawgs should be in the doghouse :)— November 3, 2009 7:38 p.m.

I don't think you should retire Borat either--NOT! Kidding, I vote you keep him in your repertoire.— November 3, 2009 6:35 p.m.

Blogging for SPAM
Thanks for brekkie, nan! I will have to request that my plate contains eggs and potatoes only--if you don't mind. I won't eat them if meat has even touched them :) "to fully dissect all the aspics of Spam" I heard they made all sorts of aspics of Spam in the 50s! Love those old photos! I've saved a bunch, too. :)— November 3, 2009 6 p.m.

re: #37: nan, I work at home. We eat fish, but no other meat, so presumably Spam is off the list, as it contains horse and dog, I think :) As for smoky flavor, we got this sliced smoke-style soy lunchmeat that is actually pretty tasty! re: #40: That really is some wisdom for the 'ages,' isn't it? :) re: #41: This is becoming a kind of tic, isn't it AG? Borat's Tourette's? :)— November 3, 2009 5:54 p.m.

re: 33: Can you clarify that question, nan--including a definition of work? :)— November 3, 2009 4:35 p.m.

"Glad to hear you have no morals or ethics SD and try to rationalize lying and cheating (SurfPuppy shakes head violently back and forth while rolling eyes!)" Is SP having a seizure? Watch his tongue! Puppy, see post #34. I have the same issue with acronyms, Mr. B. However, I just figured out BFD on my own! "Big F'in Deal." I'm proud--despite having no morals or ethics :)— November 3, 2009 3:22 p.m.

Hee hee. I could relate a similar tale. Freud might go on about psychological significance of wish fulfillment and unseen contents... :)— November 3, 2009 3:07 p.m.
