The humorous thing, rvcowboy, is that you are the one who made the homosexual connection to the passage in the first place. Joan didn't. You went that direction all by yourself. And now you're saying that only a sick mind would do such a thing.<br><br>Why are you, and the Dougs, and Dale, and Ed so obsessed with homosexualty? Even creepier (at least to me), why are you guys so obsessed with male gay sex? I could kinda understand if you were excited about the idea of two women getting it on.<br><br>-Scott<br><br><b><i>rvrcowboy <rvrcowboy@clearwire.net></i></b> wrote:<blockquote class="replbq" style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <meta content="MSHTML 6.00.2800.1515" name="GENERATOR"> <style></style> <div><font face="Arial" size="2"> <div style="margin-top: 0px; margin-bottom: 0px; text-align: left;"
