Save Texas Marriage!
October 29, 2005 @ 4:56 pm
Thank you Texas for continually amusing us with your foolishness. Proposition 2 would amend the Texas constitution thusly:Sec. 32. (a) Marriage in this state shall consist only of the union of one man and one woman.
(b) This state or a political subdivision of this state may not create or recognize any legal status identical or similar to marriage.
This might have some unintended consequences, as liberal activists have pointed out:
(a) defines marriage between one man and one woman, and
(b) prohibits the recognition of (a)
Damn logic! It seems that stupidity has triumphed over bigotry. In case you think I'm making this up read the Houston Chronicle article.
By way of an addendum, look what turned up when I went to Google for a picture of a Texas flag for this post. Oh, the irony.
Thanks for nothing, Texas! Now none of us can get married!

I had to read it a couple of times before I realized that Texas was the dumb one, not me. Maybe they aren't so dumb.... This proposition might be a gold-mine of a bill that would let rich Texans legally divorce their spouses and keep all their money, whether or not a pre-nup was signed or not. Those wiley Texans!!

we were also going to each wear one of those hot, pleather, texas flag bikinis.

Those Texans can be wiley, but this time they've outsmarted themselves. At least they haven't outlawed bikinis yet. Although I'm not sure I'd look very good in one next to the rest of you. As for names of our polygamous quartet, I'd go with the Barrebak-Croustones. It sounds kind of like a circus band.

the Barrebak-Croustones it is! i love it! i can tap dance and play the kazoo (not at the same time). eliz is a mighty fine whistler (as long as you don't make her laugh). nick, if you can't actually play the guitar you can just stand there and look impressive while holding one. caroline will sing. i hope she knows how.

I would totally buy the Barrebak-Croustones' CD.

barrebak-croustones sounds like something you'd put on a salad in a fancy restaurant. the salad would cost "8-" and have green cornichons, organic red pears, tatsoi greens, and a citrus-herb gremolata in addition to the barrebak-croustones.

silly crispus. i am talented but i cannot tap dance on a salad. besides that, all four of us would not fit on top of a salad. and the health code would probably prevent us from standing on someone's salad while wearing those bikinis anyway. and, srah, i don't know you but i will give you a complimentary copy of our first cd. autographed!

Crispus Attucks is my favorite commenter ever, for some combination of name, website link and content of comment. 5x w00t.

This post has taken a strange turn into made up words, mome raths and slithy toves. I don't play the guitar but I hear tambourine isn't too hard.
