Superior Richard

Herewith, more gratitude and boot licks to Shakespeare's Sister for mentioning my blog in her Friday Blogrollin'. I appreciate it.
I can see, though, that I'm going to have to write more about bears (i.e., big hairy men with beards, more or less) if I'm to remain a resource. Up to now most of my accounts have been fictional (see the link above for Jay Neal if you want to know more).
I was very impressed by the title of another blog in this week's list:

Trust Me, You Have No Idea How Much I Hate Bush—and Dick Isn’t That Great Either*

However, I have to quibble: although I can agree with the first part of the name, I'm afraid I can't go along with the second assertion. For my part, and this may only be because I'm a gay man, I think dick is really pretty great.
This reminds me of an ongoing dispute I had years ago online with a younger gay man. When the occasion arose, he would sometimes describe someone or something as "butt ugly".
"John, John," I'd say, "show a little sense. You're a gay man — you have a keen appreciation for the beauty of butts. Why in the world would you say they're ugly?" I've never quite understood.
But then, I've never really understood using "ass hole" as a term of disapprobation. I don't know, maybe it's another gay thing, but I generally feel much more affection towards ass holes than I do towards the people one is likely to call an ass hole.
But I'd better stop there before I get too far into the ick zone.

*Just under the link to his profile, John Lombard says "Even Aussies think Bush is a shmuck-face". That's brilliant, mate! All without reference to butts and ass holes, too.
