		<description>Come to think of it, if I followed the same road to a dead end like yourself, none of my satire would ever see the public light of day. For example: if some Santa Claus organization requested I remove my essay &quot;Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus is Gay&quot;, precisely because it offends some of their customers (or hurts their feelings), I&#039;d never post it anywhere in cyberspace. Same goes for an earlier anti-holiday piece called &quot;Another Hetero Xmas&quot;:

http://gay-bible.org/write/3_another-hetero-xmas.htm

It is totally disingenuous of Mr. Keane&#039;s attorneys to request you remove your Family Circus parodies on the absurd claim that it hurts the feelings of his fans who simply adore that comic strip. As if any of those folks would ever bother to view your site, let alone that particular parody. Maybe they found it via a search engine, and got their Fascist brown panties up in a bunch.

Your Family Circus parody was brilliant and a delight. Certainly worth defending against the legalistic hegemony of certain people of power and influence, that seek to wipe out any form of free speech that should flutter into their radar zone like a happy little butterfly...and get instantly squashed by their pudgy little greedy little fist.

Had you stood your ground, most likely Chicago&#039;s Legal Comic Book Defense Fund would have take your case gratis, and won...just as they so expertly did for my Pee Nuts parody. In acquiescing so swiftly and obligingly to Keane&#039;s un-Amerikan request, you also weakened the rights (to free speech and fair use) of all artists of satire, everywhere. Way to go, sparky!</description>

		<description>Oh, I don&#039;t think you&#039;ve changed one bit. False accusations, defamation of character, bullshit remarks...yep, it&#039;s all still there, like a nasty old scab that never healed. Nothing awesome about you, or your site. In fact, it&#039;s all rather dreary and uninformative. I conclude that selling out to Bill Keane impacted your creative juices in a most negative way. He now owns your sorry soul, too bad.

FYI, my reason for calling you a homophobe has nothing to do with jealousy issues. Has everything to do w/your own gay cartoon sketch, which filename you gave of &quot;knocknuts&quot;. That surely smacks of anti-gay bigotry...otherwise you&#039;d&#039;ve name that file &quot;gaycartoon&quot;, &quot;zekescartoon&quot; or something equally inoffensive. 

Your flippant critique of my Pee Nuts cartoon was poisoned by your bigotry, and was not a fair evaluation. Many people have enjoyed my Pee Nuts parody, and gotten a good belly laugh out of it.

That fact that you accuse me of being motivated by anger when there is no evidence of this, speaks volumes. I am simply amused how I stumbled onto your more recent online ventures, after all these years. Reminds of that old saw:

&quot;The chickens came home to roost.&quot;

Or even:

&quot;What goes around comes around.&quot;

I&#039;m sure Mr. Keane appreciates having his arse licked. I&#039;m sure you do a pretty good job of reaming him, too.

Since I&#039;ve NEVER sold out to anyone, my writing has not been sacrificed to the Demons of Obeisance, but has instead flourished. My latest is also comedy, and writ as yet one more satire of heterocentric dogma:

Yes, Virginia, Santa Claus is Gay

		<description>I&#039;ve changed so much over the last decade, it&#039;s always funny to see people who haven&#039;t. Especially the angry ones.

p.s.: still hilarious you think I&#039;m a homophobe just for thinking you&#039;re not funny</description>

		<description>There was a time when /you/ were called a weirdo for your Family Circus parodies. To be specific: right-wing fundamentalist Christian types were calling you &quot;weird&quot;. I certainly see no pride in moving over to their side. In fact, better to be called &quot;weirdo&quot; by those kind, than &quot;friend&quot; or &quot;ally&quot;. So call me all the names you want, it&#039;s a true compliment, when you consider the source.

So where are all your Christian fans supporting you for your conversion? Where are the favorable comments? No wonder you&#039;re shutting down. And to think it all goes back to when you caved in to Bill Keane. LOL</description>

		<description>Missed your time, man. Your last chance to hurt my ego with this was like four years ago.

Thanks for reminding me, though. I miss the goddamn weirdos I&#039;ve seen over the years. You got Mahir in there?</description>

		<description>Oh, you&#039;re an aggressive meat eater. Explains why some years back, you caved in to Bill Keane by ceasing your excellent sado-masochist parodies of Family Circus. (I suspect, however, you were handsomely paid off.) And why you consequently denounced my gay parody of Peanuts, because you were secretly jealous that I remained firm in my stand against Schulz&#039;s attorneys, and WON. (There is also the likelihood your homophobia got in the way, too.) My site with that particular comic remains online, as brazen as ever. You really jumped the shark when you caved in to Keanes...you site has never been more than mildly non-boring ever since.</description>

		<description>I can&#039;t see listening to this more than once either, but then again I&#039;m also listening to MIDIs downloaded from a tripod.com site so I may not exactly be at the musical vanguard.  Nonetheless, Vanguard was a great game.</description>

		<description>Only tangentally related and quite late to the party...

When my daughter was in daycare, occasionally parents would stop right in the &quot;Fire Lane/No Parking&quot; zone in front of the doors, put their hazard lights on, and go inside.  Their defense was, &quot;Well, I&#039;m just picking up my child&quot;, to which the proper reply was &quot;That&#039;s what everyone who&#039;s not working here is doing&quot;.  It&#039;s not like anyone hangs out at the daycare for an hour or so.

And why people think putting their blinkers on is a magical defense against tickets (+100 resist?) I&#039;m not sure.  It&#039;s like they&#039;re acknowledging that they&#039;re doing something wrong and that acknowledgement somehow excuses it.  

Much love nonetheless.</description>

Though to be specific, I wasn&#039;t parked in front of it like this anyway. I was stopped with my blinkers on, that for sure would&#039;ve been a ticketable distance if I was just parked there, but I don&#039;t think I was fully blocking it. I&#039;m not fully in the clear on this, but it&#039;s no reason for her to be a pissy authoritarian bitch about it, either.</description>

		<description>Oh yah I&#039;m with you on the parking and the fire hydrant, if something suddenly happened in the four minutes I was sitting there and my car got mangled because of firefighters stomping over it...mmm well I will say if I had the feeling they weren&#039;t vindictively doing it and just harmed my car in the course of my making their job difficult, I would not be happy about the destruction but I wouldn&#039;t be angry with them specifically. 

Hoses through the windows, though, I saw that movie. Was that based on an actual incident?

As for the videos, though, those are both the same link?</description>

		<description>I know a couple Firefighters (and my Grandfather was one) and I know for a fact that if you&#039;re parked in a way even remotely blocking a hydrant they need access to they will not hesitate to destroy your car to hook hoses up. An incident that comes to mind was some douche in a Bentley who got his windows busted in so the firefighters could run hose through it.

Regarding the cop stuff:

		<description>Dear Abe Vigoda: Ever since I read that you are friends with Joyce DeWitt, I wanted to write to you. First, I am a great fan of her &quot;Janet&quot; years. I would also like to write her, but I don&#039;t have her address.Does she ever get to NYC? Mabe, she does a cabaret show at times here in . I always loved watching your performances on TV. Sincerely, Dr. Stanley Jay Denmark.</description>

		<description>Ah, but you must accept the original premise. So if you state you are not hungry when in fact you are, then yes, it is true. To use a real world example, pundits whom do not bother to dispute evidence of global warming, but deny it and the harmful effects thereof, are indeed telling the truth. They have negated a premise which they do not dispute, meaning they can say anything and it would be (mathematically)true. It casts Fox News in a whole new light, doesn&#039;t it. 
And thanks for reminding me I need to hit the gym!</description>

		<description>Huh. &quot;I&#039;m hungry, so I eat&quot; is true, but then &quot;I&#039;m not hungry, so I eat&quot; is also true? That&#039;s kinda screwed up. I&#039;d say &quot;no wonder this country has a weight problem&quot;, but that would require the average person in the country learning some math.</description>

		<description>I didn&#039;t now the answer to that off the top off my head, so I did some research. It turns out that this case does not have a special name. However, interestingly enough, any statement that starts with negating an accepted premise (&#039;p) is considered true no matter how true or not true the conclusion might be. Or symbolically, &#039;p -&gt; q and &#039;p -&gt; &#039;q are both considered to be true statements if we accept p-&gt; q. Clearly we need to refine or definition of air guitar, or we need to just have enough tequilla so that we quit caring.</description>

So I guess I was playing (&#039;p) without a guitar (q), what would that be?</description>

		<description>If you accept that air guitar is-
Pretending to play (p) without a guitar (q)
then the contra-positive would be-
Having a guitar (&#039;q) without pretending to play (&#039;p).

However, I am torn as to whether not &quot;without pretending to play&quot; would mean actually playing or just using the guitar as a prop. Either way, I am not sure having a fake guitar would qualify. 

I apologize for letting the math teacher tendencies off the leash long enough to respond to this!</description>
