Kneel down. Put your hands together. Offer thanks right this very moment to whatever deity you desire that that you are not 18 years old and gay and living in the state of Kansas right now.

This gratitude, it is a given. This is so much of a given you might not even need to hear why. You just say to yourself, oh my freaking God, I can only imagine.

[presidio9]

As opposed to your current status as a totally obnoxious 30-something?

[presidio9]

The author forgot NASCAR.

You can wake up now....

I aim to please...(except when I pee all over the floor)

[Viking2002]

I see that this whining, mincing polesmoker must have had a bad night at the bath house........

[hattend]

Hey, I'm originally from California...leave me to my dreaming. :-)

Honest, I really liked Kansas.

[presidio9]

BTW, I'm suprised Mroford has such a problem with Shania. Wasn't her biggest hit called "Man! I Feel Like A Woman"?

[hattend]

Hmmmm... LOL

[Paul Atreides]

You forgot the "Fainting Couch Alert."

[Vic3O3]

No matter how much progress has been made, so long as the Kansas-type fires of hate still rage and snicker and imprison, we are stuck. We are dead in the proverbial water.

Good! I hope they're stuck for a good long time!

Absolutely! I have NEVER heard this kind of hate from any "fire-breathing" conservative. Liberals have a corner on the market for venom like this. Their hate has literally driven them insane. You can actually picture this guy with foam coming out of his mouth, eyes going around in his head like pinwheels....

BTW Morford has written back to me in the past to say she reads these threads and they don't bother her.

"Little queer is lucky castration is not part of the sentence"

Actually, back in the 1960's-70's, castration WAS the punishment for rape in Kansas.

[judgeandjury]

It was a case where an 18-year-old boy, Matthew Limon, was in the midst of serving 17 years in prison for having consensual gay sex with a 14-year-old boy.

"Gay sex"? More accurately, Matthew Limon sodomized a 14-year-old boy.

[visualops]

Cool!

...and I don't even like NASCAR...

[bk1000]

"Hmm, how hot does it get in the summer?"

I have no experience, but my folks lived in Kansas back in the 50's and said that in the winter there was nothing between Kansas and the North Pole but a barbed wire fence, and in the summer nothing but six inches of topsoil away from Hell.
Of course, it seems kind of like that sometimes here in GA as well!
