Plumbing Problems

BOSTON - The lesbian couple whose landmark lawsuit helped Massachusetts become the only state in America where same-sex couples can marry legally have split up, a spokeswoman said Friday.

I think I could change the one on the left. But I think the blond might hurt me.

The women “are amicably living apart,” Mary Breslauer, a spokeswoman for the couple said. “As always their number one priority is raising their daughter, (what?) , and like the other plaintiff couples in this case, they made an enormous contribution toward equal marriage. But they are no longer in the public eye, and request that their privacy be respected.”

I respect their privacy just like they did when they splashed their indiscretions all over the newspapers and the courts.

Julie and Hillary Goodridge married on May 17, 2004, the first day same-sex couples were allowed to wed, in a festive ceremony attended by dozens of journalists.

Their daughter, Annie, (what?) accompanied the women down the aisle serving as ring bearer and flower girl while guests hummed “Here Come the Brides.”

When I was in college I dated a girl that confessed to me that she had been a lesbian in high school. She was selfish, loud, obnoxious, mean, nasty, and very beautiful, so I only dated her two months. I'm not sure it's a good thing when a former lesbian is attracted to you, but I was intrigued and went with it. Ever since I've had this feeling that I could somehow help these women... that I could be like a horse-whisperer for sexually confused females... coaxing them back to what nature intended... A Pied Piper for heterosexuality... blending tenderness with testosterone...

Unexplored ambitions. I've got a million of them.

Outstanding post Chris, I can always count on you for a laugh.

...a horse-whisperer for sexually confused females...

A noble aspiration.

I used to work at a place that had an abundance of lesbians. Most of them wore The Uniform (Dockers or similar manly slacks, long-sleeve button-down Oxford shirt, loafers) every day. Everything was fine until the day one of them (a supervisor) asked another one (her employee) out on a date and was turned down (the employee already had a "husband"). From that point on, their project meetings always deteriorated into yelling matches between the two of them, with the other (straight) employee quietly ducking out of the room. The project didn't go well...

So if you could "whisper" some of them, you might save work environments from undue stress and projects gone awry. The good that you could do to society is enormous.

Thanks Janice.

Thanks Skyepuppy.

Still, once in a while reality breaks out upon me and I realize that a 52 year-old bachelor obviously knows absolutely nothing about women. But that fact has never stopped me before.

Chris, I could see the challenge one would have in pursuing such a thrill.
The rejection rate has to be high so unless you crave a sadistic fantasy you may want to rethink this "ambition".

Malott said...

Jihadi Tracker,

Hey, I know lesbians! It just takes a little firmness, and letting them know who the man is. Also, buy them little lacie things and call them muffin.

You got me there Chris, with those tactics it just might work!

Jacob said...

From the sound of you, it seems like you might have better luck convincing gay guys to convert.

FKAB - From the looks of YOU, you'll have no problem converting straight women to the other side.
Why don't you go play with the young, socialistic twits you normally run with and leave the grown-ups to opine without little ones around.

Malott said...

fkab,

Thanks for stopping by. I enjoy your comments over at Logic Lifeline where the comments tend to be a little rougher.

You're always welcome here.

Jacob said...

Jihadi,

How about you go back to your little hide-out where you and your ilk plot against the dirty towelheads.

There's a special place for anonymous cowards like you, and it's in a very exclusive club that you're best suited to! It starts with 'K' and ends in 'u Klux Klan.'

Or did I speak too soon?

Malott,

Thanks! I only hope that this jihadi person doesn't represent you in any way.

SkyePuppy said...

FKAB,

Funny you mention towelheads.

The only headcovered/turbaned person I've ever worked with was a Sikh. Nobody's mad at them.

You really need to update your assumptions about our prejudices. K-K-K-'cause they're mistaken.

FKAB, I thought I told you before to grow up, get a real job, support yourself for a while and then you can opine with the adults. Like Chris said, thanks for stopping by and adding some color to the blog. And if we're allowed to get nasty, I must ask,

Are you:
a) man
b) woman
c) a man who WANTS to be a woman
d) a woman who WANTS to be a man
e) just a common freak
f) you're so in need of attention this is the only way to get it, being and looking obnoxious
Have a great day!

janice said...

fkab, it sounds like this topic hits a little to close to home for you. Doesn't it?
I hope you answer JT's question, I've been wondering the same thing myself.

Malott said...

Jihadi and Janice,

I should probably let fkab speak for himself, but when I first started reading his comments on Logic Lifeline I perceived him as an intelligent free spirit that was hard to define or classify. His blogger profile lists many interests including atheism and homosexuality, but I don't know that he is either an atheist or a homosexual.

The picture? I always figured that it was indicative of his sense of humor and nothing else. But who knows?

Anyway, I hope he continues to visit because he always stirs debate.

SkyePuppy said...

JT and Janice,

Come on, you guys! How can you win FKAB over to the Light by being nasty?

He's still young and being educated. Judging by my own education, I was raised to be a liberal, feminist, anti-nuclear-power, pro-choice, environmentalist liberal by the US public school system.

It took me years to overcome that. But that means there's still hope that FKAB can leave the Dark Side.

Besides, if you're too mean, he'll go away, and I've been having too much fun with his comments here and at fine blogs everywhere...

janice said...

Chris and Skye, Sorry for the leave of absence my charactor took, for entering the "ring" of nasty debate and for going way
off topic. I was weak and led astray.

I can't speak for JT but I agree. If we're mean he'll leave before we can win him over. I do however enjoy the interchange between JT and FKAB.

In the future I will refrain from the nastiness. I'll leave that to those two.

Malott said...

Janice,

I would prefer that you and JT speak your minds and let the chips fall where they may. You guys always have something interesting to say and I enjoy the controversy.

Thanks Chris, It's nice to know I'm still welcome here.
I will however, try to elevate fkab to our level when he's around instead of lowing myself to his.
