I thought you were kidding. There really is an alt.cuddle. Dear God, what have we come to? I took a look. Just a little peek. To see what all the fuss could be about. How bad could a few painfully cheery folks be? I now realize the consequences of my actions. They were giving each other little cuddles and hugs. They call themselves bunnies and cats and things. Truly horrid. Scary. I may have to go back to therapy. I cannot imagine a place in the human mind where downy fur references and pictures of rainbowed unicorns find solace. Not that dark visions are in any way superior, but it is so much more realistic. So much more livable. So much more...human. Thank us for being the way we are. All different, moments in time, but NEVER EVEN THINKING of the word cute. EJ If the snake sheds its skin before a new skin is ready, naked he will be in the world, prey to the forces of chaos. Without his skin he will be dismantled, lose coherence, and die. Do you, my little serpents, have a new skin? AIA
