Mmm. . . disfigured green beans. I’m glad you liked the story, though. It was a very weird moment, but decidedly a telling one.

and by visceral i mean not repugnantly so… but in a sentimental way.

in terms of a more substantive intervention, i find family stories, of resemblence, of enmeshedness, of disentanglement, of disfigurament to all be very fascinating. but fascinating isn’t really the word.

they evoke in me something visceral.

the greenbean story was great.

Ahem. In point of fact, The Glass Menage a Trois was not my submission; Cory’s Old Anus, however…

i have looked into your soul and i know in my heart of hearts you are using women’s studies rhetoric, regardless of what you might say. after all, you did postgraduate work in a bastion of secular humanism.

and i say that it is powerless.

and, frenchiness cannot overcome truthiness!

And not, I presume, to be confused with The Glass Menage a Trois. Oh yeah, clear as mud. And I’ve never even taken a Women’s Studies course!

Indeed, what J said. The trinity may either be understood as a melange a trois, or a menagerie a trois, but never a menage a trois nor a montage a trois. Is that clear?

well, for one, they are one.

for two, one’s a dove and animals don’t count, so they are just two

for three, water can be a liquid, a solid and gas

don’t try and pick apart the bible with your women’s studies rhetoric.

But where does that leave the Trinity?
