Everything contains the WYP and the WYP contains everything.

Quit waxing philosophical and paradoxical on us Rick. No one knows if your claim is true. That is why the WYP will continue to produces dissertations for centuries possibly millennia to come. Indeed, it is entirely possible that the WYP also contains nothing along with everything. And I disagree with your claim that everything contains the WYP. This statement is fundamentally unsound.

Which is what makes it all the more frightening. I don't even know if I AM an agent or ex-agent of WYP. WHAT ARE THEY?

good god, they've taken you

young men drinking tea, reading poetry and making love.

Multitasking I can get behind!
10RickHarsch
I like the drinking of poetry.
13LolaWalser
A teacup. Masters of the art perform without spilling a drop of tea, on their pants or poetry.
15LolaWalser
Do you think vocalisation is allowed? "Unh, unh, milk or lemon, dear? unh, unh..." No, wait, I'm thinking of some other tea-drinking culture...
16QuentinTom
There's a hilarious description somewhere in Journey to a War of Isherwood and Auden in a gay bathhouse in Shanghai, in which their pleasures are constantly being interrupted by injunctions to drink more tea. I have tried to find it, but it remains elusive at the moment.

Papa Ratzi WISHES he had nipples like that!
Heh, I just remembered a lengthy discussion somewhere on LT after Rowling said in an interview she always pictured Dumbledore as gay. You wouldn't believe the people (and arguments) who protested any such possibility! I'm thinking Ratzi's sexuality is a bit like Dumbledore's--it' supposedly "doesn't exist", but even in such not-existing state, he's still damn straight!

When Ratzinger took over, he sent a committee to every seminary to interrogate every prospective priest. Apparently, the current Vatican rules are that men are to be allowed into the priesthood only IF they are remaining celibate from women - and not from men. If your oath of celibacy has you agreeing to not have relations with men, you're not acceptable.
The logic of that is brain-melting. (Either that, or perhaps thy're not quite clear on the concept of 'celibacy'.)

Celibacy. Now if there IS anything demonic and unclean in the world, it is the thinking behind that concept.
24QuentinTom
Absolutely.

Lola sez: Celibacy. Now if there IS anything demonic and unclean in the world, it is the thinking behind that concept.
Amen to that!
26> Heh. D'ya think Tolkein was a repressed ho-mo-seshual? I mean, there're like only three women in the trilogy and I think none (I could be wrong) in The Hobbit.
